Welcome
This site demonstrates how to use the Civic Review Public API to retrieve permit and license data. Each example page shows a working integration with live data, along with the code used to build it.
The API uses a simple REST interface with Bearer token authentication. You can query permits by type, status, date ranges, and more.

Active Business Licenses
Query and display a table of all active business licenses submitted in 2025, filtered by permit type and status.
Building Permit Lookup
Look up individual building permits by ID and display detailed information including project data and contractors.
Quick Start
All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header:
curl -X GET "https://api.civicreview.com/public/v1/permits" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json"
API keys are created in Settings → API Keys within your Civic Review account. Use test keys for development and live keys for production.
