Announcing the Public Release of Stantem's GraphQL API
We are thrilled to introduce Stantem's GraphQL API, designed to give developers seamless access to comprehensive real estate and property data across the United States. We're working to gather data straight from counties in an effort to maintain the most accurate nationwide real estate databases. Learn more at stantem.com.
Why Choose GraphQL?
GraphQL empowers developers with the ability to customize their queries, retrieving only the data they need. This flexibility helps prevent over-fetching, enhances application performance, and simplifies data handling.
For instance, plotting properties on a map often becomes cumbersome with REST APIs. These APIs typically require batching functions implemented by developers, which can still result in unnecessarily large payloads due to excessive attributes being returned. This slows down applications and creates inefficiencies.
GraphQL addresses these challenges by allowing you to query exactly what you need. This makes it a practical choice for building efficient, user-friendly applications.
Here's an example query showcasing the flexibility of our API. Explore the interactive docs to try it out (no login required).
SearchByAddress Query Explanation
-
Filter: Target a list of addresses containing a specific street (excluding one)
-
Filter: Return properties with bedrooms GTE 1 and LTE 3
-
Filter: Return properties with acres GTE 1 and LTE 10
-
Filter: Return properties in the city of Youngstown
-
Results: Only return the owner name and address information
Transparent and Flexible Billing
Our subscription model challenges the traditional approach to real estate API pricing by eliminating hidden costs and expiration of unused credits. Here’s how we’ve structured our plans:
Pay As You Go
- $50/month: Access 50,000 property records that refresh every month.
- Bulk Credits That Don’t Expire: Purchase additional credits as needed, with no time limit for usage.
- Automatic Volume Discounts: The more bulk credits you buy, the lower your cost per record. Use our calculator at stantem.com to explore pricing options.
Credit Consumption Details
- Per Property, Not Per API Call: Credits are only consumed for returned property records, not the number of API calls.
- No Charge for Empty Queries: Experiment freely without penalty if your filters return no matching data.
- Bulk Queries Up to 1K Properties: Efficiently retrieve large datasets.
- Non-Expiring Bulk Credits: Maintain flexibility for larger projects without expiration concerns.
Plans for Larger Data Needs
For organizations with substantial data requirements, our Premium and Enterprise plans offer extensive credits at competitive rates:
- Premium Plan ($500/month):
- Access up to 2 million property records per month.
- Visual search interface and bulk CSV exports.
- Optional skip tracing at $0.05 per record.
- Team access for up to 3 users.
- Enterprise Plan (Custom Pricing):
- Tailored API access limits and custom data solutions.
- Dedicated support and early access to new features.
- Invoice-based billing and team access for entire organizations.
Our pricing models balance flexibility and cost efficiency, catering to startups, small projects, and established businesses alike.
Fully Interactive Documentation
Our interactive documentation includes a Query Builder to help you explore the API with ease. We set the API key demo-api-key in the GraphiQL editor by default to streamline access to a static data for simplified exploration. Swap it for your registered API key to access production data. The Query Builder allows you to:
- Click on fields to build queries visually.
- Test filters and refine your queries.
- Explore results with real-time feedback.
