Address

Real Estate Search API

Real Estate Search returns the listing history of an Australian property: the sale, sold and rental events recorded against its address in the Global Data property universe. The address can be supplied as a GNAF ID, as one line of text or as separate fields, and the records come back most recent first.

  • Each record carries the listing type, date, price, estate agent, property type and the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and car spaces
  • Text addresses are resolved to the GNAF address database, and an optional date filter limits the history to records on or after a given date
For developers

After the technical detail?

For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.

What the check gives you

Seeing what has happened to a property before you rely on it

An address on a file says nothing about the property's recent history. Real Estate Search takes the address, resolves it to the GNAF address database and returns the listing events recorded against it in the Global Data property universe. The resolved address is returned alongside the records, so your system can confirm the history belongs to the property it asked about.

Every recorded listing event

Each record is a sale listing, a sold event or a rental listing, with its date. Records are sorted by date with the most recent first, and a date filter can exclude older history.

The price and the agent

Each record carries the listed or sold price, shown for rentals with the rental period, for example $550 per week, and the name of the estate agent.

What the property is

Each record carries the property type, such as house, townhouse, apartment or unit, and the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and car spaces.

The address the history belongs to

The response returns the resolved address with its GNAF ID, suburb, state and postcode. When a text address was supplied, minor corrections or standardisations made to match it are visible here.

What it costs

A monthly subscription, drawn down as you run checks

Your subscription is credited to your account each month and each check consumes credits from it. If you go past the included amount, further checks are charged at a per-check rate. The rate depends on the volume you commit to, so the sales team is the fastest way to find where your business lands.

  • Volume-based pricing
  • No lock-in contract
How billing works
Subscribe monthly, spend it as credits
  • The monthly subscription arrives as credits on your account.
  • Each check draws down credits as it runs.
  • Checks beyond the included credits are billed per check.
  • Higher monthly volume moves you to a lower rate.

Others in Address

Real Estate Search (Bulk) runs the same search across a batch of addresses in one call. Property Detail returns the residents and contact details for the same GNAF ID. Address Validate and Address Autocomplete produce that ID.

Questions

Questions we get asked about real estate search

Do we need a developer to implement this?
Yes. Real Estate Search is a REST endpoint that takes a JSON request and returns a JSON response, so a developer connects it to your system. A sandbox with a separate test dataset is provided at no usage cost, so the integration can be built and tested before production keys are issued.
What does our system need to send?
One address, in one of three forms. A GNAF ID, which is the most efficient lookup. A full address as a single string, such as 20 Hardy St Lilydale VIC 3140. Or a structured address with the street address as a minimum and the suburb, state and postcode as separate fields. Only one form can be used per request. An optional date_from in YYYY-MM-DD format limits the records returned.
What comes back?
The resolved address with its GNAF ID, the number of records, and the records themselves, most recent first. Each record carries the listing type, property type, number of bedrooms, bathrooms and car spaces, the date, the estate agent and the price.
What happens if the address cannot be found?
The call still returns a 200 response. The message reads Address not found, the address is returned as an empty object and the records array is empty. An address is not found when the GNAF ID does not exist or when the text address could not be resolved to a valid address in the GNAF address database. An address that is found but has no listing history returns Ok with an empty records array.
Where does the data come from?
Listing records are sourced from the Global Data Australian property universe. Text addresses are resolved against the GNAF address database. The reference documentation does not publish a refresh cycle for the listing data; each record carries the date of the event.
Is the address we send stored by Global Data?
Personally identifiable information sent in a request is not stored or retained unless it is needed to process that request. Query data is stripped of PII before it is kept for audit. Data in transit and at rest is encrypted, and retention follows the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles. Global Data is not a credit bureau and does not create an access footprint on any record.
How many searches can we run?
The API allows 600 requests per minute by default, measured as a rolling average, and returns a 429 response above that rate. Real Estate Search (Bulk) checks a batch of addresses in one request. A higher limit can be requested through Global Data support.
