What it returns
Mortgage and lien records for a US property — current and historical mortgages, lien summary, involuntary liens, pre-foreclosure status, and data quality metadata. Sourced from a county-records aggregator and cached for 7 days; cached responses cost 0 credits.
Performance
Fresh lookups are slow — use a 60-second client timeout and cache responses (we cache for 7 days; cached reads are fast and free).
When to use it
- Identify distressed properties (high lien-to-value ratio, pre-foreclosure).
- Pre-screen wholesale outreach lists for owner-equity position.
- Disclose lien position to a buyer or lender.
Pricing
5 credits per fresh request. Cached responses (within 7 days of the prior fetch for the same address) cost 0 credits.
FAQ
Is this real-time?
No — mortgage recordings post to county records with days-to-weeks lag. The 7-day cache reflects that natural cadence.
What if the property has no mortgage?
Returns an empty mortgages array and the lien summary reflects equity-only status. Still counts as 5 credits (the call ran).
Parameters
address(query, required) — Full property address.
Responses

Costs 0 credits.402— Payment required — no active subscription or insufficient credit balance. Costs 0 credits.404— Not found — the address or identifier did not resolve to a record. Costs 0 credits.502— Bad gateway — the upstream county-records aggregator failed or timed out on a fresh lookup. Fresh lookups are slow, so use a 60-second client timeout and retry with backoff; a successful retry is cached (and free) for 7 days.
