aid: accela name: Accela description: >- Accela is a San Ramon, California govtech company whose cloud Civic Platform runs permitting, planning, licensing, code enforcement, inspections, asset management and citizen service requests for state and local government agencies worldwide. Its public developer surface is the Accela Construct API (V4) — a 417-operation REST API served from apis.accela.com and documented as fifteen Swagger 2.0 documents on the Accela Developer Portal, covering records, inspections, contacts and professionals, addresses/parcels/owners, assets and assessments, documents, payments and shopping carts, reports, search, citizens, CivicID and platform settings. Access is OAuth 2.0 against auth.accela.com with agency- and environment-scoped tokens, and every request is bound to a specific government tenant through the x-accela-agency and x-accela-environment headers. url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/accela/refs/heads/main/apis.yml image: https://www.accela.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/AccelaLogo-website.webp x-type: company x-source: harvest:secondary-market specificationVersion: '0.20' created: '2026-09-06' modified: '2026-09-06' position: Producing tags: - GovTech - Government - Permitting - Licensing - Code Enforcement - Inspections - Asset Management - Citizen Engagement - Land Management - Civic Platform - Public Sector - SaaS tags_raw: - govtech - government - permitting - licensing - code-enforcement - inspections - asset-management - citizen-engagement - land-management - civic-platform - public-sector - saas apis: - name: Accela Construct API (V4) description: >- The public REST API to the Accela Civic Platform. 417 operations across fifteen published Swagger 2.0 documents cover transactional records, inspections and checklists, contacts and licensed professionals, addresses/parcels/owners, assets and condition assessments, documents, fees/payments/shopping carts, invoices and trust accounts, reports, global search, Citizen Access user management, CivicID, agencies and platform settings. Requests are scoped to a government tenant with x-accela-agency and x-accela-environment; responses use a uniform {status, code, message, more, traceId} envelope with offset/limit pagination and a fields= partial-response parameter. Base host is https://apis.accela.com; every operation path already carries the /v4 version prefix, matching host + basePath in the published specs. humanURL: https://developer.accela.com/docs/api_reference/api-index.html baseURL: https://apis.accela.com tags: - GovTech - Government - Permitting - Licensing - Inspections - Asset Management - Land Management - Citizen Engagement tags_raw: - govtech - government - permitting - licensing - inspections - asset-management - land-management - citizen-engagement properties: - type: Documentation url: https://developer.accela.com/docs/ - type: APIReference url: https://developer.accela.com/docs/api_reference/api-index.html - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-records-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-inspections-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-settings-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-contacts-professionals-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-assets-assessments-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-citizens-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-addresses-parcels-owners-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-search-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-miscellaneous-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-payments-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-documents-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-civicid-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-agencies-openapi.yml - type: OpenAPI url: openapi/accela-reports-openapi.yml - type: Conventions url: conventions/accela-conventions.yml - type: ErrorCatalog url: errors/accela-problem-types.yml - type: DataModel url: data-model/accela-data-model.yml - type: Overlay url: overlays/accela-records-overlay.yaml - name: Accela Authentication API (OAuth 2.0) description: >- The Construct authorization server.

It exposes a live CKAN 2.9.9 Action API — package_list, package_search, status_show, datastore and the spatial extensions — publishing agency datasets such as building permits, inspections, food-facility records and air-quality permits. IT IS BEING SWITCHED OFF: the site states CivicData reached end of life on 30 June 2026 and will be removed after 31 December 2026. Recorded here because it is a real, callable, first-party API today and because CKAN is a named standard in the government regulatory regime — but do not build on it. humanURL: https://www.civicdata.com/ baseURL: https://www.civicdata.com/api/3 tags: - Open Data - CKAN - Government - Public Sector tags_raw: - open-data - ckan - government - public-sector properties: - type: Documentation url: https://www.civicdata.com/ - type: Conformance url: conformance/accela-conformance.yml maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: kin@apievangelist.com - FN: APIs.json email: info@apis.io common: - type: DomainSecurity url: security/accela-domain-security.yml - type: Website url: https://www.accela.com/ - type: DeveloperPortal url: https://developer.accela.com/ - type: Documentation url: https://developer.accela.com/docs/ - type: APIReference url: https://developer.accela.com/docs/api_reference/api-index.html - type: GettingStarted url: https://developer.accela.com/docs/construct-gettingStarted.html - type: Support url: https://www.accela.com/services/technical-support/ - type: HelpCenter url: https://success.accela.com/s/ - type: Blog url: https://www.accela.com/blog/ - type: BlogRSS url: https://www.accela.com/blog/feed/ - type: GitHubOrganization url: https://github.com/Accela-Inc - type: SignUp url: https://developer.accela.com/Register/Register - type: Login url: https://developer.accela.com/Login - type: TermsOfService url: https://www.accela.com/terms-of-use/ - type: PrivacyPolicy url: https://www.accela.com/privacy-policy/ - type: ChangeLog url: https://developer.accela.com/docs/construct_api_v4_rel_notes.html - type: ChangeLog url: changelog/accela-changelog.yml - type: Compliance url: https://www.accela.com/civic-platform/security/ - type: LLMsTxt url: llms/accela-llms.txt - type: WellKnown url: well-known/accela-well-known.yml - type: Authentication url: authentication/accela-authentication.yml - type: OAuthScopes url: scopes/accela-scopes.yml - type: Conventions url: conventions/accela-conventions.yml - type: ErrorCatalog url: errors/accela-problem-types.yml - type: Lifecycle url: lifecycle/accela-lifecycle.yml - type: Conformance url: conformance/accela-conformance.yml - type: DataModel url: data-model/accela-data-model.yml - type: Packages url: packages/accela-packages.yml - type: SDKs url: packages/accela-packages.yml - type: Sandbox url: sandbox/accela-sandbox.yml - type: Plans url: plans/accela-plans-pricing.yml - type: RateLimits url: rate-limits/accela-rate-limits.yml - type: AgentSkill url: skills/_index.yml - type: Components url: components/accela-components.yml x-enrichment: date: '2026-09-06' status: enriched artifacts_added: 55 pass: local-v3
