Built on open data

TradeHound ingests publicly available building permit datasets from municipal open data portals — Toronto Open Data, Vancouver Open Data, and more. All source data remains publicly attributable. Our public API at /api/v1/permits serves structured permit data to developers, researchers, and AI systems. We support open access and provide a permissive robots.txt.
