Nodepipe

Local business data, delivered by API.

Clean, developer-ready Edmonton local-business data (39806 records and counting) over a simple REST API.

One key, usage-based billing, no scraping headaches.

Endpoints

• GET /health — service status (no key needed)
• GET /v1/businesses — list/search businesses (?category=cafe&search=transcend&limit=10&offset=0)
• GET /v1/businesses/{id} — one business
• GET /v1/categories — distinct categories
• GET /v1/usage — your calls this month (metering)
• GET /v1/changes — what changed in the dataset (?since=2026-10-18&type=new)
• GET /v1/businesses/new — businesses first seen since a date (the "just opened" feed)
• GET /v1/freshness — last snapshot, 7/30-day change counts
• GET /permits/new — newly issued permits (?dataset=building&since=2026-10-18)
• GET /permits/changes — permit change events (?change_type=changed&dataset=development)
• GET /permits/search — search permits by address, description, neighbourhood, or permit number (?q=Blatchford&min_value=1000000)

Freshness: the dataset is snapshotted daily against Edmonton's official business-licence data. /v1/businesses lists active businesses; closed ones are kept but excluded unless ?include_closed=1 is passed.
