Gryd gives teams flexible ways to search, connect, and analyze permit, property, contractor, license, and project activity data. Use Explorer to search directly, API to connect Gryd data into your systems, or Bulk Data to work with large-scale datasets in your own environment.

Sometimes your team needs answers before it needs an integration
Not every data question should start with an API build or a bulk data request. Sometimes your team needs to look up a property, review a contractor, check permit history, explore a market, or confirm whether activity is happening. Explorer gives teams a faster way to work directly with Gryd data, without waiting on a technical workflow.
Manual research takes too long
Local permit portals, contractor records, and property details are scattered across too many sources.
Public records are hard to compare
Each jurisdiction may report data differently, making it difficult to review activity across markets.
Teams need context quickly
A property, contractor, or project record is more useful when you can see the related activity around it.
Not every user is technical
Some teams need to search and investigate directly, not work through an API or data warehouse.
Search, filter, and investigate construction activity in one place.
Data Explorer helps teams move from scattered records to usable answers. Search by market, property, contractor, permit, project type, or activity signal to better understand what is happening and who is involved.

Data Explorer is best for teams that want to search and review Gryd data directly
Data Explorer is the right starting point when your team needs a hands-on way to explore construction intelligence before deciding whether to connect the data into a larger system.
Data Explorer is a good fit if your team wants to:
Get to verified construction signals faster
Gryd gives buyers and technical teams clear ways to understand the data, evaluate coverage, and learn how construction intelligence can support risk, growth, and automation workflows.
Move faster than manual research
Search across structured construction data instead of chasing local records one source at a time.
See more context around each record
Connect permits, properties, contractors, project details, and market activity in one place.
Reduce blind spots
Use documented permit and contractor activity to support decisions that depend on what has changed, what is active, or who is doing the work.
Start without a technical build
Give business users a direct way to explore Gryd data before investing in deeper integration or bulk analysis.
