Source records include provider, coverage, format, access, limitation, and verification fields so researchers and AI agents can trace information back to the original publisher before relying on it.
See source coverage by data category, province, publisher link, application, and API availability.
Understand how sources are selected, verified, cited, and exposed to AI agents.
OpenAPI access for source search, limited assessment-sales queries, and development records.
A practical guide for researchers and AI agents using Data Sources as a source discovery layer.
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.
These focused guides explain coverage, limitations, search phrases, and verification steps around high-value data categories.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Read-only source discovery. Results keep provider, coverage, format, limitations, and original publisher links visible for verification.
