Bringing More Power to the Lab: The Story Behind v0.25.0

Seven months ago, we launched the Parcl Labs API to bring cutting-edge housing data to everyone. Why? The housing market moves fast, but the data powering it was stuck in the past: slow, fragmented, hard to buy, and even harder to use.

We believe there should be a better way—so we built it:

It's working. Thousands of teams have pulled billions of datapoints through our API. We've redefined what's possible with housing data by opening the gates on who can use it.

Today, we're taking the next big step.

The Next Chapter

Since launch, we've shipped 24 major API updates, bringing you novel metrics, property intelligence, true owner entities, and much more. Throughout this journey, our API community has shaped our roadmap by sharing what data you need and how you use it.

v0.25.0 builds directly on this feedback. Here’s how we've addressed your top requests:

1. A Central Hub for All Things Housing

We ship fast – new capabilities, research, and developer tools drop constantly. You needed one place to access it all. Now you have it.

2. Full Access to Property Data

Our integrated, clean property histories and true entity ownership data are unmatched. Now you can try it yourself with our free tier.

3. More Data, More Control

While we already offered the best value in housing data, you wanted flexibility – more data for experimentation and better usage management. Done.

How it all comes together in our rebuilt application:

New API Experience

We've rebuilt our application from the ground up to be your housing data command center.

Clean, Modern Interface

Streamlined Onboarding

Go from signup to your first API call in minutes through an engaging, informative process.

Personalized for Your Needs

Users come to Parcl Labs with different needs:

  • Some are technical and want their API key and developer tools to start building
  • Others need housing intelligence - they want better data and research to inform decisions

Now the application adapts to you. During onboarding or in your profile settings, select "Lab Technician" if you're technically focused or "Market Explorer" if you're more interested in insights - we'll customize your experience.

Personalize Your Parcl Labs Experience

Insights to Inform and Inspire

To empower every user, we've launched a new real-time price feed view directly in your dashboard. Track housing price performance across top markets through an interactive visualization built directly on our API.

Monitor Real-Time Home Price Trends

For developers, it demonstrates ways to transform our data into value for your applications. For insight-focused users, it brings housing intelligence to life without writing a single line of code.

We're just getting started. Check back often as we experiment with new ways to uncover patterns in the housing market through the Parcl Labs API.

More data on every tier is just the beginning. We've simplified our credit system to work smarter while maintaining the direct link between value and cost. Here's what's new:

One Credit = One Datapoint

Whether you're pulling an individual metric or property history, the math is simple: one credit per datapoint. No complex calculations, no surprises.

Real-Time Visibility

Track every credit in your dashboard. Each API response now shows your usage, and we'll alert you before you run low—keeping you in control of your data consumption.

Track Data Usage Live
