How this service works
New building permits from Tampa Bay, Florida, the morning after they're filed. Job value, contractor and trade on every permit. AI agents pay per search with x402.
Output
A JSON object containing the contractor's name and key, a list of every permit they've pulled (each with address, city, zip, status, trade, description, valuation, applied and issued dates, jurisdiction, and permit number), a breakdown of permit counts by trade, total valuation across all permits, permit count, and the dates of their first and most recent permit.

Monitoring a competitor's activity

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.permitscouter.com/contractors/%7Bcontractor_key%7D/history?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive historical view of a specific contractor's permitting activity — including trade breakdown and total job valuation — rather than searching permits by location or date. Prefer this over the permit search endpoint when the contractor identifier is already known and you want aggregated contractor-level intelligence rather than a filtered list of recent permits.
Side effects
- Invalid or unknown contractor_key returns empty results or 404
- Contractor has no permits in the coverage area returns empty results list
- Malformed contractor_key format may return a validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks access (x402 payment required)
- Coverage gaps if contractor operates outside Tampa Bay jurisdictions
