The public REST API to the Accela Civic Platform. 417 operations across fifteen published Swagger 2.0 documents cover transactional records, inspections and checklists, contacts and licensed professionals, addresses/parcels/owners, assets and condition assessments, documents, fees/payments/shopping carts, invoices and trust accounts, reports, global search, Citizen Access user management, CivicID, agencies and platform settings. Requests are scoped to a government tenant with x-accela-agency and x-accela-environment; responses use a uniform {status, code, message, more, traceId} envelope with offset/limit pagination and a fields= partial-response parameter. Base host is https://apis.accela.com; every operation path already carries the /v4 version prefix, matching host + basePath in the published specs.

A record is a fundamental Civic Platform object that captures an agency's daily process tranactions, such as applications, permits, cases, licenses, service requests, and work ord…
Activities related to a record can be assigned to a staff member when the activities require further action, such as a follow-up inspection or service maintenance.
A record can have at least one associated address, such as the address of the application contact or the location of a permit application, service request, or work order.
A work order record is linked to assets that require inspection, repair service, or any kind of task that needs to be performed and tracked in the system.
A condition is a requirement that you can apply to an application (or component of an application), that the application must fulfill to qualify for approval. Although conditions…

This is an independent, third-party profile of Accela Construct API (V4), published by
API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or

Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site,
developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use.
Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's
public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications,
endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and
you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored
zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
