get_sourceFull details of one source by id: publisher, original link, API endpoint, formats, update rate, last update, licence, location detail, check status and notes.
list_placesThe atlas: world, countries, states, counties and cities, with their ids. Filter by parent id (e.g. 'us' for US states) or kind.
list_departmentsThe 15 departments (shelves) every source sits on, with what each covers.
list_gapsRecords people need that the library doesn't hold yet, or that no agency publishes. Check this before telling a user a record doesn't exist.

request_recordAsk SOS.city to find a public record that isn't in the library. It joins the gap board; give an email to hear back. Never for locating or profiling a person.
get_storeThe SOS.city data store: what's free, what costs credits (1 credit = 1 cent), credit packs, city data packs, building records and deep searches, and every way to pay (credits with an API key, x402 USDC, or a Stripe link for a person). Shows the caller's credit balance when an AP…
buyStarts a one-time purchase and returns a Stripe Checkout link for the person who pays, plus a status_url to poll. product: credits_1k ($10), credits_10k ($79), city_pack ($29, needs place) or compliance_list ($99, one whole compliance list as CSV, needs list). The person must ag…
get_city_packEvery source that covers one place (with publisher, original link, licence and reuse terms) plus a year of records whose sources allow reuse. Costs 2900 credits from the API key's balance. Without credits, use buy (product city_pack) or the REST URL with x402.
check_complianceChecks one street address against every compliance list at once (SB 721 balcony citations, LA energy benchmarking, open code cases, soft-story and concrete retrofit orders, industrial stormwater permits) and says which lists name it, with the agency's status, dates and a link to…
list_complianceBuildings and facilities that owe a legally required inspection, filing or fix (SB 721 balcony inspections, LA energy benchmarking, open code cases, soft-story and concrete retrofits, industrial stormwater permits), read from the agency's dataset and refreshed daily. Free: what…
get_compliance_itemsRows of one compliance list (address, ZIP, dates, status, the agency's id, a link to the original, and other lists the same address is on). The first 10 rows are free; more cost credits per 100 rows (see get_store). Filter by zip, address (q), status, type, since (YYYY-MM-DD) or…
get_compliance_changesBuildings and facilities added to, taken off, or changed on a compliance list since a day (default the last 7 days), from the agency's own data. Counts are free; the first 10 rows are free, then credits per 100 rows. Off the list means the agency's data no longer lists the item,…
watch_complianceSave a watch on one compliance list (ZIPs, status, type, stacked) and get what changed daily or weekly by email and/or a signed webhook. Pass track (item keys) to follow items one by one: each closes on its own when the agency's data no longer lists it. Needs an API key. Rows pa…
list_compliance_watchesThe account's compliance watches: what each covers, how it's delivered, when it last went out and what it did, and its tracked items open and closed.
get_bank_accessFree. How many bank and credit union branches a ZIP, county or state has today, how far the nearest bank branch is, closings and openings in the last 120 days, ZIPs left with one bank or none, and the top lenders already there. From FDIC BankFind, the NCUA call report and Census…
