1. Introduction

LightBox’s cloud-based APIs provide access to an extensive universe of location and property data to power your applications. You’ll always benefit from the latest data we have available, and we handle the hard work of normalizing, processing and hosting the data so that you don't have to. 

APIs in the LightBox Data Platform are built with simplicity in mind and only require a few lines of code to run in your applications. You can learn about our APIs through the LightBox Developer Portal and familiarize yourself with them in our sandbox environment before going into production.
