How do I get the ATTOM ID for a Property?
ATTOM ID
The ATTOM ID is an identififier used by ATTOM to uniquely identify a property. The simplest way to obtain property-centric data from ATTOM CLoud or ATTOM API is to provide the ATTOM ID for the property. If however, you have a street address or APN for a property you may have a need to identify the ATTOM ID(s) for that property(s).
ATTOM API
Most ATTOM API endpoints will accept ATTOM ID, Street Address, or APN as a search parameter to match property records. If a street address is provided, the address is standardized using a combination of geocoding services such as Melissa Data, Geocode.io, and Bing and the standardized address is matched against the standardized addresses of the 160 million properties ATTOM collects data for. If an APN is provided, the APN will be matched using the formatted (as provided) APN or the unformatted APN which is created by removing spaces and special characters.
The simplest way to get the ATTOM ID for a property is to use the ID endpoint.
curl --location 'https://api.gateway.attomdata.com/propertyapi/v1.0.0/property/id?address=123%20Main%20Street%2C%20Bethany%20Beach%2C%20DE%2019930' --header 'ApiKey: {{APIKEY}}' \ --header 'Accept: application/json'
