Questions

How many building permits are filed in San Francisco each day?

San Francisco publishes permits through an open-data feed which EarlyIntent reads daily.

Where does San Francisco permit data come from?

Directly from the city's Socrata open-data portal at data.sfgov.org, dataset i98e-djp9. It is an official government API, not a scraped page, and it is read once a day.

Can I get San Francisco permits as sales leads?

Yes. EarlyIntent scores every permit for buying intent by trade, solar, roofing, HVAC and real estate, and delivers a ranked feed carrying the reason each one scored and the next step to take. A territory is one trade in one geography, and on Pro and above it is exclusive to you.

How fresh is the San Francisco feed?

Freshness is checked against the source on every load rather than cached, and a feed with nothing newer than 21 days is treated as abandoned and pulled.

Which trade gets the most from San Francisco?

All four trades are scored against the same San Francisco feed.

Is this scraped?

No. San Francisco DBI publishes this dataset through a Socrata open-data API, and EarlyIntent queries it the way any member of the public can. Nothing is scraped from a web page, nothing is bought from a broker, and no permit record here is anything other than public record.
