Cook County (Chicago) property records API
Pay-per-call property-records API for Cook County, Illinois — including the City of Chicago. Look up any property by street ADDRESS or 14-digit PIN and get parcel details, recorded sales & deed history, building permits, and property-tax assessment history, joined and normalized into one answer. Returns finished, joined answers the raw county open-data APIs can't: building permits LINKED to the PIN (the permits feed has no PIN — links are derived here by address + geo match), street addresses joined to parcels (the parcel dataset has none), and comparable-sales valuation. You get the answer, not rows to query, stitch, and derive yourself. Use for real-estate due diligence, automated valuation / comparable-sales (comps), title and lien research prep, lead enrichment, and market analysis. ~1.9M parcels, refreshed nightly, property-keyed (public records only — no personal data). No signup and no API key. Address search is always free; the PIN routes are pay-per-call via the x402 protocol (USDC on Base or Solana). No API key and NO WALLET NEEDED to start: address search is always free and the first 25 calls per client per day return real data free; x402 (USDC on Base/Solana) covers anything beyond that.
