Does TractIQ Have an API?

TractIQ offers a robust set of REST API endpoints that allows you to pull real-time facility, pricing, demographic, and market data directly into your own systems as well as historical pricing data. Whether you’re integrating with your CRM, property management software, or building a custom solution, our API provides seamless access to valuable data.

1 — What’s available via API

TractIQ offers three types of API endpoints: Site Analysis API, Facilities API, and Pricing API.

Site Analysis API Overview

The Site Analysis API gives you structured data about a trade area (a radius in miles) around a specific location so you can understand the local self-storage market. 

When you provide an address, the API returns the following type of data:

 

  • Location details: Confirms the address and provides exact latitude/longitude coordinates.
  • Demographics:  Local population, projected growth, and median household income.
  • Storage supply
    • Total square footage of storage space in the area (current and projected)
    • Number of facilities (current and projected)
    • Typical pricing by unit size and whether climate control is offered

  • Incoming housing

    New housing starts and number of residential units coming to the area.

  • Market saturation

    Storage space available per person (now and projected), which helps measure whether a market may be under- or over-supplied.

  • Competitive facilities

    A list of the competitive facilities with high level information about those sites. This data helps you get a quick look at who your competitors are and enables you to go dig deeper in the Facility API or Pricing API to get an even more detailed view of the competition.

In short, the API connects an address to rich market data covering people, storage supply, housing growth, and competition.

Facilities API

Facilities API gives you detailed information about a specific facility. This is generally used in tandem with the Site Analysis API to, for instance, get information about the parcels, owners, or specific square footage numbers.


Pricing API

The Pricing API provides historical and current pricing data about a facility. This is also used in tandem with the Site Analysis API to understand details about the rates in a trade area. 

2 - How to get access to the API

To start using the API, follow these steps:

  1. Review this guide to make sure your intended use aligns with what the API supports.
  2. Email us at support@tractiq.com with a short description of how you plan to use the API.
  3. Discuss usage volume and pricing with our team to confirm the right fit.
  4. Review and acknowledge the API Terms of Service.
  5. Update your subscription so it reflects API access.
  6. Receive your API key – we can provide a sandbox key for testing before you finalize your subscription.

3 - API Terms of Service

Please review our API terms of service to ensure your intended use of the TractIQ API is compliant. 

Our API makes it easy to bring TractIQ data into your own tools and workflows. Most customers use it to:

  • Power dashboards and analytics
  • Support internal decision-making
  • Enrich apps or services with TractIQ content for their own users

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Okay: Using the API to improve your own analysis, products, reports, or customer experience
  • Not okay: Reselling our data or API directly, bypassing rate limits, or using it to coordinate pricing with competitors
  • Not okay: Combining API data with scraped TractIQ content or sharing it with unauthorized third parties

4 - Developer documentation

Developer documentation is available at developers.tractiq.com.

Open API Access & Pricing

The TractIQ Open API is available for Pro+ and Enterprise customers.

Prices are set on a "per call limit" basis. We will build a plan with you for your expected usage per day, per month, or per year. The same limit is applied to all three end points and each request counts as one call. For instance, in the Site Analysis endpoint, you may make a request for 1 Main Street at a 3 mile radius. This would give you demographics, average rental rates of any facilities in the area across the various unit sizes, and a list of the facilities in that area. You could also then make a request for full metadata (via Facilities endpoint) or full pricing history (via Pricing endpoint) on each of the facilities in that trade area. Each of those would count as one request.

As an example, let's assume there are 5 facilities within 3 miles of 1 main street.

If all you want is the supply per capita, the average rental rate for a 10x10 CC and 10x10 NCC, a list of the competitors, and the number of new developments in the area, you could make only one call to the Site Analysis endpoint

If you also wanted to request all of the data on each facility, you would also then make 5 calls to the Facilities endpoint (to get the detailed information about each), and 5 calls to the Pricing endpoint (to get historical rental rates).
