ConstructConnect APIconstructconnect.com ↗
Access US and Canadian construction project data, market reports, industry events, economic insights, and blog content via the ConstructConnect API.
What is the ConstructConnect API?
The ConstructConnect API exposes 9 endpoints covering active construction projects across all 50 US states and Canadian provinces, with national market reports aggregating counts across thousands of counties. Endpoints like get_projects_by_state return per-project fields including bid date, project value, sector, primary building use, and document availability, while get_project_details adds full scope, address, contracting method, and bidder information.
No input parameters required.

}About the ConstructConnect API
Project Data — US and Canada
get_projects_by_state accepts a state name or 2-letter abbreviation and an optional limit (1–100) and returns an array of project objects with fields including id, name, city, state, primary_building_use, primary_project_type, project_value, sector, and bid_date, plus a total_projects count for the state. The parallel endpoint get_projects_by_province covers Canadian provinces and territories with the same response shape, and adds an optional stage filter: bidding_7_days, bidding_30_days, or recently updated. Both endpoints sort results by most recently reported.
Project Details and Market Reports
get_project_details accepts either a ConstructConnect id (obtained from state or province listings) or a direct url. It returns the most complete record available: name, address, city, state, county, sector, status, scope, bid_date, project_value, contracting method, document availability, and a bidders list. The get_market_report endpoint requires no parameters and returns a national snapshot — total_active_projects plus per-state and per-county arrays of project counts, useful for measuring market concentration by geography.
Economic Insights, Events, and Blog Content
get_economic_insights returns titles and URLs for construction economic reports and forecasts published on ConstructConnect's economics resources page. get_industry_events returns upcoming trade shows and industry events with name, date, and location. get_blog_posts optionally accepts a category slug (e.g. construction-news, estimating) to filter recent articles; get_blog_post_details accepts a post_url from those results and returns the full text content of the post.
Pricing Plans
get_pricing_plans retrieves the current subscription plan names and their associated feature lists from the ConstructConnect pricing page, which is useful for applications that surface plan comparisons or help users evaluate coverage tiers.
The ConstructConnect API is a managed, monitored endpoint for constructconnect.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when constructconnect.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official constructconnect.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Build a construction lead-generation dashboard filtered by state, project value, and bid date using
get_projects_by_state. - Monitor Canadian province-level bidding pipelines by pulling projects with
stage=bidding_7_daysviaget_projects_by_province. - Generate county-level construction activity heatmaps from the
countiesarray returned byget_market_report. - Aggregate full project scope, sector, and bidder lists for CRM enrichment using
get_project_details. - Syndicate ConstructConnect economic forecasts and reports into an industry newsletter feed via
get_economic_insights. - Track upcoming construction trade shows for event-based outreach campaigns using
get_industry_events. - Filter and display ConstructConnect blog content by category slug for a construction-focused content aggregator.
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 200 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
| Team | $300/mo | 20,000 | 300 req/min |

Each endpoint has a fixed posted price per successful call — most fall between 1 and 10 credits — shown on this API's page before you run it. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does ConstructConnect have an official public developer API?+
What does `get_project_details` return that the state and province listing endpoints do not?+
get_project_details returns additional fields not present in list results: full street address, county, status (e.g. GC Bidding, Planning), scope summary, contracting method, and a bidders list. You can call it with either a project id or a direct detail page url.Does `get_projects_by_state` paginate through all projects in a state, or only return a fixed window?+
limit parameter. The response includes a total_projects field showing how many active projects exist in that state. There is no offset or cursor parameter currently exposed, so only the most recently reported projects up to the limit are accessible. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add offset-based pagination if you need deeper access.Can I search or filter projects by project type, sector, or bid date range across all states at once?+
get_projects_by_state) or by Canadian province (via get_projects_by_province), with the province endpoint also supporting a stage filter. Cross-state filtering by sector, project type, or bid date range is not exposed. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add those filter parameters.Does `get_blog_posts` return full article text, or just metadata?+
get_blog_posts returns only title, url, and excerpt for each post. To get the full text, pass the post's URL to get_blog_post_details, which returns the complete content field along with the title and URL.
