  x-guidance: 'Resolve a street address to a parcel PIN with GET /v1/search/{q} — search is FREE, no payment needed. Then fetch the full record with GET /v1/dossier/{pin}. Use /v1/parcel/{pin} for a cheap single lookup and /v1/comps/{pin} for comparable sales. The PIN routes are pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base or Solana) and return HTTP 402 with machine-readable payment terms until paid. Try GET /v1/sample FIRST — it is FREE and returns a representative response so you can validate the data shape before paying. You do not need a wallet to evaluate this API: search and the sample cost nothing, and the free live example PINs listed at https://api.ingest0r.com/pricing return real records on the normal paid routes at $0. The same data is available as an MCP server (streamable-http) at https://api.ingest0r.com/mcp if your client speaks MCP rather than plain HTTP. Coverage is Cook County, Illinois (including the City of Chicago) ONLY; data is property-keyed public records — no personal, owner, or occupant data.'
