Search healthcare facilities

GET/healthcare_facility

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
qstringoptionalFull-text search across the indexed fields of the record, including names (business, establishment, vendor, contractor) wherever the dataset carries them, e.g. q=brewery or q="Iron Hill". This is the name search: there is no separate name= parameter, and it works on every plan including free. It matches the BUSINESS or trade name, the address, city, county and licence/permit number. It does NOT match an owner, licensee or applicant's personal name: these datasets carry public business records only and never store an individual's name, so searching for a person returns nothing. Space-separated words require all terms (e.g. "wood panel"). Use OR to match any term ("wood OR panel OR acoustic"), quotes for exact phrases ("supply arrangement"), and a leading minus to exclude ("software -hardware").
categorystringoptionalProcurement category: CNST, GD, SRV, SRVTGD. For recalls: product category (e.g. 'Baby products', 'Toys and games'). For healthcare: facility category (acute, long_term, home, behavioral, outpatient, specialty). For storage tanks: record type (tank or release).
statusstringoptionalFilter by status. Contracts/tenders: Active, Expired, Cancelled, Open (exact). Permits: use a status_canonical value instead (issued, in_review, completed, expired, cancelled, unknown).
citystringoptionalFilter by city. For the US liquor/healthcare/storage-tank datasets this is a distinct filter (exact, case-insensitive). For all other datasets it is an alias for municipality.
countystringoptionalFilter by county. Exact, case-insensitive (liquor, healthcare, storage-tank).
statestringoptionalFilter by 2-letter US state code, e.g. FL, CA, TX (healthcare, liquor, storage-tank).
facility_typestringoptionalHealthcare: filter by facility type, substring match (e.g. hospital, nursing_home, hospice, assisted_living, home_health, dialysis). See /healthcare_facility/stats for values.
zipstringoptionalHealthcare: filter by 5-digit ZIP code.
ccnstringoptionalHealthcare: filter by exact CMS Certification Number (CCN).
min_bedsintegeroptionalHealthcare: minimum licensed/certified bed count.
max_bedsintegeroptionalHealthcare: maximum licensed/certified bed count.
issued_afterstringoptionalFilter by licensure date >= YYYY-MM-DD (issued_date). Aliases: date_from, date_after
issued_beforestringoptionalFilter by date <= YYYY-MM-DD. Aliases: date_to, date_before
sort_bystringoptionalSort field: published (publication_date, tenders only), date (event date; this is award_date for contracts/awards), value (the entity's value field), closing (closing_date for tenders)
sort_orderstringoptionalSort order: asc or desc
limitintegeroptional
offsetintegeroptional
cursorstringoptionalPagination cursor from next_cursor in a previous response. Use instead of offset for deep pagination.

Response fields

One healthcare_facility record. Measured over 6,000 live records sampled across municipalities. Percentages say how often each field is populated: sources publish different columns, so a field missing from a given record is normal rather than an error.

Errors

Every error returns {"detail": "…"}, a sentence naming what was wrong and, where there is one, the fix.

StatusWhen
400The request is understood but cannot be served as asked, e.g. offset above 9500, or cursor combined with sort_by=value. The message names the fix.
403Missing or invalid API key.
404No such endpoint, or no record with that id.
422A parameter is invalid: an unknown city slug, an impossible date, a limit above 500, an unrecognised sort field, or a misspelled parameter name. The message names the parameter and, where there is one, the nearest valid value.
429Rate limit or plan quota exceeded.
500Unexpected server error.
504The query took too long. Narrow it with a municipality or a date range.
