Use Regulatory watch routes

Search licenses, inspections, and permits, then register a bootstrap regulatory watch without losing provenance or legal boundaries.

1. Search inspection records

curl

curl \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SMARTAPIS_API_KEY" \
  "https://smartapis.net/v1/regulatory/inspections/search?region_id=chicago-metro&q=restaurant&status=active&limit=5"

2. Retrieve facilities or individual records

curl

curl \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SMARTAPIS_API_KEY" \
  https://smartapis.net/v1/regulatory/facilities/facility_chi_001

curl \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SMARTAPIS_API_KEY" \
  https://smartapis.net/v1/regulatory/licenses/license_chi_001

Regulatory records are informational and must not be presented as legal advice or as an official government endorsement.

3. Register a bootstrap regulatory watch

curl

curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SMARTAPIS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "record_type": "inspection",
    "region_id": "chicago-metro",
    "query": "restaurant",
    "status": "active",
    "trigger": "daily_record_snapshot_change",
    "delivery_channel": "email_confirmation_only",
    "cadence_hours": 24
  }' \

The current watch route is a bootstrap intake surface. It gives you a stable request shape and legal boundary now, with durable notification behavior planned later.
