}About the constructconnect.com API
The ConstructConnect API provides 7 endpoints covering active construction projects across all 50 US states, national market reports, industry events, and economic insights. The get_projects_by_state endpoint returns per-project fields including name, city, project value, bid date, sector, and primary building use. The get_market_report endpoint aggregates active project counts at both state and county level, giving a national snapshot in a single call.
Project Data by Geography
The get_projects_by_state endpoint accepts a state parameter as either a full name ('california') or 2-letter abbreviation ('CA') and an optional limit (1–100). Each project object in the response includes id, name, city, state, primary_building_use, primary_project_type, project_value, sector, and bid_date. The response also surfaces total_projects for the state alongside the count of records actually returned, so you can track how many projects are active in a given market without paginating through all results.
National Market Reports and Economic Insights
get_market_report requires no inputs and returns a national-level snapshot: total_active_projects as an integer, an array of state objects each with project_count and state_abbreviation, and a county-level array with county, project_count, and state_abbreviation. This makes it straightforward to build state or county ranking tables. get_economic_insights returns a list of construction economic report links (title and url), suitable for surfacing industry analysis resources programmatically.
Content and Events
get_blog_posts returns recent articles with title, url, and excerpt, and accepts an optional category slug (e.g. 'construction-news', 'estimating') to filter by topic. Pass a post URL from those results to get_blog_post_details to retrieve the full content string for a given article. get_industry_events returns upcoming trade shows and industry events with name, date, and location. get_pricing_plans returns the available subscription tiers with name and features arrays from the ConstructConnect pricing page.

Does ConstructConnect offer an official developer API?+
What project-level fields does `get_projects_by_state` return?+
get_projects_by_state returns an array of project objects containing id, name, city, state, primary_building_use, primary_project_type, project_value, sector, and bid_date, along with total_projects for the state and the count of records in the current response. Set limit between 1 and 100 to control result size.Does the API return Canadian construction project data?+
get_projects_by_state and get_market_report are scoped to US states and counties only. ConstructConnect's platform does cover Canadian markets, but that data is not exposed by the current endpoints. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a Canadian project endpoint.Does `get_market_report` support filtering by date range or project type?+
get_market_report. It always returns the current national snapshot of total active projects with state and county breakdowns. For filtering by type or sector, use get_projects_by_state and inspect the primary_project_type and sector fields per project. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add filtered market report endpoints.Does the API expose individual project detail pages beyond what `get_projects_by_state` returns?+
project_value, bid_date, sector, etc.). Full project specification documents, plan files, and contact details available inside ConstructConnect's subscription platform are not exposed. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a project detail endpoint.
