Tools & capabilities
Realestateapi tools 3
realestateapi_property_searchSearch properties by city/state/filters (off-market, absentee-owner, value range) — returns matching properties with address, owner, beds/baths, and estimated value. Example: realestateapi_property_search({ city: "Austin", state: "TX", absentee_owner: true, value_max: 400000, size: 25, _apiKey: "your-key" })realestateapi_property_detailGet full property detail by id or address — returns owner, estimated value, last sale, characteristics (beds/baths/sqft/year/lot), and mortgage. Example: realestateapi_property_detail({ address: "123 Main St, Austin, TX 78701", _apiKey: "your-key" })realestateapi_skip_traceSkip-trace owner contact info for an address — returns the owner name plus phone numbers and emails. Regulated PII: pure passthrough, nothing is stored. Example: realestateapi_skip_trace({ address: "123 Main St, Austin, TX 78701", _apiKey: "your-key" })
Batchdata tools 3
batchdata_property_lookupLook up full property attributes (owner, building characteristics, valuation, sale/tax history) for one or more known addresses. Requires a BatchData API token via _apiKey. Example: batchdata_property_lookup({ street: "1011 Rosegold St", city: "Franklin Square", state: "NY", zip: "11010", _apiKey: "your-token" })batchdata_property_searchSearch BatchData's 155M+ property database by location and attribute filters (e.g. "Phoenix, AZ"), with skip/take pagination. Returns matching property records plus a meta count of total matches. Requires a BatchData API token via _apiKey. Example: batchdata_property_search({ query: "Phoenix, AZ", take: 25, _apiKey: "your-token" })batchdata_skip_traceSkip-trace an address (optionally with an owner name) to resolve owner contact info — phone numbers and emails. WARNING: skip-trace results carry DPPA/GLBA permissible-use obligations; the caller is solely responsible for lawful use of the returned contact data. Requires a BatchData API token via _apiKey. Example: batchdata_skip_trace({ street: "1011 Rosegold St", city: "Franklin Square", state: "NY", zip: "11010", _apiKey: "your-token" })
