Summary
Pulls building and construction permits from nine U.S. cities (Chicago, LA, Austin, SF, Seattle, DC, Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston) through a single unified schema. The tool hits official government open data portals including Socrata, ArcGIS, Carto, and CKAN APIs, so you get clean permit records without managing nine different endpoints yourself. Runs on Apify's infrastructure at half a cent per permit returned. Reach for this if you're building construction lead gen pipelines, tracking real estate development activity, or prospecting contractors. Free tier gives you $5 monthly credit, which covers about a thousand permits.
