Data API · For businesses and app makers

# The open datasets, always current, as an API

The same 27 state rules datasets as our free downloads, as JSON with an API key, versioned, with a notice when anything changes. The CSV files stay free.

**Free CSVs remain free.** All 27 datasets stay free to download from the [open data pages](/data/open) under CC BY 4.0. The API is for businesses and app makers who want the same data kept current without downloading files again.

## What it is

- A JSON API over the 27 state-by-state datasets behind our guides: employer rules, landlord and tenant rules, notary rules and small business filings for the 50 states and DC.

- Each record carries its source links, marked official or vetted secondary, the date its sources were checked, and a list of anything those sources did not confirm (those values are null, never guessed).

- Each dataset has a version. ETag and Last-Modified headers let you re-check for free in bandwidth: an unchanged dataset answers 304 Not Modified.

- When a dataset changes, you get one email per change, and Pro and Business can also get a signed webhook. A changes endpoint lists the same thing.

- A written commercial-use license (see below), on top of the CC BY 4.0 license the data already has.

## Endpoints

Send your key on every request as `Authorization: Bearer <your key>`. Responses are JSON. Browsers on other sites cannot call the API directly (no CORS headers), so keep your key on your server.

| Request | Returns |
| --- | --- |
| `GET /api/data/v1/datasets` | Every dataset: slug, title, version, checked date, record count, fields, and whether your plan covers it. |
| `GET /api/data/v1/datasets/{slug}` | The dataset's records with the field list and license. `?state=NJ,NY` returns only those states. `?since=YYYY-MM-DD` returns records checked or changed on or after that date (a record dated only to the month counts for every day of that month). Sends `ETag` and `Last-Modified`; send `If-None-Match` to get 304 when nothing changed. |
| `GET /api/data/v1/changes?since=YYYY-MM-DD` | Changes our daily check recorded since that date (default: 30 days), with the records changed, added or removed, plus datasets whose sources were checked since then. |

### Errors

Errors come back as `{"error":{"code":"...","message":"..."}}`: `401` missing or invalid key; `403` subscription not active, or a dataset outside your Starter picks; `429` over the per-minute limit (30, 60 or 120 a minute by plan; see `Retry-After`) or over the monthly quota; `400` a bad `state` or `since`. Headers `X-Quota-Limit`, `X-Quota-Remaining` and `X-Quota-Reset` show where you stand.

### Sample response

A real response for `GET /api/data/v1/datasets/min-wage?state=NJ`, built from today's data file (the field list is shortened here).

### Webhooks (Pro and Business)

Each change is one POST with `{"id":"chg_123","type":"dataset.changed","created":"...","data":{...}}`, where `data` has the same fields as an item from the changes endpoint. The `X-MCC-Signature` header is `t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>`, where hex is the HMAC-SHA256 of `t + "." + body` with your signing secret. We make one attempt per change and show the result on your account page; the changes endpoint is the record to fall back on.

## Datasets and fields

Generated from the data files: the same fields as the free downloads, with each dataset's slug for the API.

## License summary

- **The data is CC BY 4.0 on every plan,** the same as the free files: you may copy, adapt and use it commercially if you credit "MCC Solutions" and link to the dataset page. The API terms never take away what CC BY 4.0 allows.

- **Starter and Pro:** the API may feed your own organization's websites, internal tools and reports. Your key is for your organization; do not share it or resell access to the API.

- **Business:** also covers commercial redistribution in apps: apps and products you sell or give to other people may show the API data or ship a synced copy of it, with a credit line (an about or credits screen is enough).

- This is a plain-English summary, not legal advice, and we are not lawyers. The [terms](/terms#data-api) have the full wording.

General information, not legal or tax advice. We are not lawyers, and MCC Solutions is not a law firm. MCC Solutions is a private company: the data is compiled from official government pages, but it is not official government data and no agency has reviewed or endorsed it. We aim to keep the API available around the clock, but there is no uptime guarantee or service level agreement.

## Questions

**Are the CSV and JSON downloads still free?**

Yes. Every dataset stays free to download from the open data pages under CC BY 4.0, and nothing is held back for subscribers. The API is for people who want the same data delivered and kept current without downloading files again.

**What does the API return?**

The same rows and fields as the free files, as JSON: one record per state and DC, each with its source links (and source_kinds: official or secondary), the date its sources were checked and a list of anything those sources did not confirm. Each dataset has a version that changes whenever any record changes.

**How current is the data?**

The API reads our data files directly, so a correction or a new research round shows up in the API as soon as it is published. Each record says when its sources were checked. We re-check sources in research rounds; we do not promise a fixed schedule for every dataset.

**How do change notices work?**

Once a day we compare every dataset with the last check. When a dataset's checked date or any of its values change, subscribers whose plan covers it get one email for that change listing the records affected (you can turn these off). Pro and Business can also give a webhook address and get one signed POST per change. The changes endpoint lists the same changes if you prefer to poll.

**What counts as a request?**

Every call made with a valid key, including ones that return 304 Not Modified. Starter includes 5,000 a month, Pro 50,000 and Business 250,000, counted per calendar month (UTC). Past the limit the API answers 429 until the month resets, or you can move to a larger plan.

**Can I use the data in a commercial product?**

The data is under CC BY 4.0 on every plan, which allows commercial use with credit. The plans set how the API service may be used: Starter and Pro are for your own organization's sites and tools, and Business also covers apps and products you distribute to other people, with a credit line in an about or credits screen.

**Is this official government data?**

No. MCC Solutions is a private company. We compile the data from official government pages (and, where no official page could be read, a few vetted secondary sources, marked as such) and link each source, but no agency has reviewed or endorsed it. Check the source before you rely on a value.

**Is there an uptime guarantee?**

No. We aim to keep the API available around the clock and to fix problems quickly, but there is no service level agreement. Cache the responses you need; ETags make re-checking cheap.

**How much is it, and can I get a refund?**

Starter $19 a month, Pro $49 and Business $99, billed monthly through Stripe; cancel any time from the billing portal. If the API is not right for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full.

**Is this legal or tax advice?**

No. It is general information. We are not lawyers, and MCC Solutions is not a law firm.
