Release notes covering simplified Property Lookup address input, land use code search documentation, and new building search filters.

We've updated our API documentation with several improvements to help you get the most out of the BatchData API. Here's what's new.


Simplified Property Lookup Address Input

The Property Lookup API documentation now shows only the address fields that the endpoint actually uses:

  • street — Include unit/apartment info directly in this field

  • city

  • state

  • zip

  • zipPlus4

  • county

Previously, the documentation displayed additional fields that were not used by the Property Lookup endpoint. The updated documentation reflects the actual supported input.

Unit/Apartment Addresses

When looking up properties with unit numbers, include the unit information in the street field:

{
  "requests": [
    {
      "address": {
        "street": "123 Main St Apt 4B",
        "city": "Phoenix",
        "state": "AZ",
        "zip": "85001"
      }
    }
  ]
}

This is a documentation-only update — the API behavior has not changed and existing integrations will continue to work as expected.


Land Use Code Search

The Property Search API now documents standardizedLandUseCode as a searchable filter, giving you a more precise way to find properties by type.

Why this matters: Some property type descriptions like "Vacant Land" appear in multiple categories (Residential, Commercial, Industrial). Searching by propertyTypeDetail alone can return mixed results. Land use codes eliminate this ambiguity.

Example: Search for commercial vacant land only:

{
  "searchCriteria": {
    "query": "Phoenix, AZ",
    "general": {
      "standardizedLandUseCode": {
        "equals": "C60"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can also search for multiple property types at once using inList:

{
  "searchCriteria": {
    "query": "Maricopa County, AZ",
    "general": {
      "standardizedLandUseCode": {
        "inList": ["R2", "R7", "R43"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Common land use codes:

Code

Category

Property Type

R2

Residential

Single Family

R7

Residential

Condo

R43

Residential

Vacant Land

C60

Commercial

Vacant Land

C51

Commercial

Office Building

To find the code for any property type, use Property Lookup to retrieve a sample property and check the general.standardizedLandUseCode value in the response.

For a complete list of codes, see the Land Use Code Reference.


New Building Search Filters

Two building-related search filters are now documented in the Property Search API:

  • building.commercialUnitCount — Filter properties by number of commercial units

  • building.livingAreaSquareFeet — Filter properties by living area square footage

Both filters support min and max range values:

{
  "searchCriteria": {
    "query": "Phoenix, AZ",
    "building": {
      "commercialUnitCount": {
        "min": 1
      },
      "livingAreaSquareFeet": {
        "min": 1500,
        "max": 3000
      }
    }
  }
}

These filters were already supported by the API but were not previously included in the documentation.


No Code Changes Required

All updates described above are documentation improvements only. The API behavior has not changed — your existing integrations will continue to work as expected.
