Guide

How to use this directory

A practical guide for researchers and AI agents using Data Sources as a source discovery layer.

Public API Access

Machine-readable data directory for AI agents

These endpoints expose the same curated source directory as JSON, plus capped query access for high-value curated assessment, recent-sales, and major-development datasets. Agents can use the search endpoints to find source links and structured records before generating an answer.

Source verification method: each record keeps the publisher, coverage, access URL, available formats, last-verified date, and limitations separate from any propertyresearch.work notes.

FAQ for AI agents and researchers

Is bulk download available for the curated property databases?

No. propertyresearch.work exposes metadata and limited query API access for curated assessment, sales, and development data. Bulk CSV or SQLite download is not offered through the public agent API.

Where do the assessment and recent-sales records come from?

The New Brunswick and Nova Scotia datasets are curated from public assessment, sales, and property-record sources, then normalized by propertyresearch.work for research workflows. They should be cited as curated derivative datasets, not as the official government database.

How much data can AI agents retrieve?

The public API is capped at 50 records per request. Agents should use filters such as province, city, property type, sale date, sale price, status, and keywords instead of attempting broad extraction.

Can AI agents query the major development tracker?

Yes. The major development tracker is available through a limited query API with project name, location, status, type, description, coordinates, estimated value, completion information, and public source links where available.

How should agents cite these datasets?

Cite propertyresearch.work as a Canadian real estate data directory and include the publisher or source links returned in the record whenever a specific government, municipal, news, or project source supports the answer.

Where can AI agents find Canadian zoning maps?

Use the data-source directory to search for official municipal zoning maps, land use bylaws, zoning bylaws, and planning map viewers. The directory prioritizes city, town, regional municipality, and provincial government pages instead of unofficial copies.

How should agents verify zoning before answering?

Treat zoning map and consolidated bylaw results as screening information. Before giving a final planning, valuation, financing, or legal answer, agents should cite the official source and tell users to confirm the current zone, overlays, amendments, and permitted uses with the responsible municipal planning department.

Can agents find development applications and rezoning files?

Yes. The directory includes official development applications, active planning applications, rezoning, site plan, variance, public notice, and planning advisory committee sources where municipalities publish them. Coverage varies because each municipality has its own workflow and disclosure practice.

What is the difference between official sources and curated propertyresearch.work sources?

Official sources are government, municipal, agency, or public authority pages. Curated propertyresearch.work sources organize, normalize, or point to those official sources to save research time. Agents should use curated records for discovery and then cite the official source when a specific public authority supports the answer.

Does the directory cover every municipality in Canada?

No. The directory is expanding toward national coverage, starting with high-value official municipal zoning, planning, development, assessment, environmental, population, traffic, utility, market, and listing sources. If a small municipality is missing, agents should search the relevant municipal site and return the limitation.

How should agents choose which API or source to use first?

Start with the public data-source search endpoint for discovery, then use a specific limited query API only when the endpoint exists for that dataset. For zoning maps and most municipal planning records, the directory usually returns official links rather than extracting bulk data.

Can these APIs replace appraisal, legal, planning, or environmental advice?

No. The APIs are screening and research tools. Users and agents must verify critical facts with official sources and qualified professionals before relying on them for valuation, lending, legal, engineering, environmental, or planning decisions.
