v1.3.0 Climate risk, drone deliverability & FAA airspace Feature
  • Climate risk composite — new climate_risk object in every address response. Combines five federal data sources: flood, wildfire, severe storm, seismic, and drought. Each sub-score 0–100 plus a weighted composite.
  • Drone deliverability flag — drone_deliverable boolean indicates whether the address is in a zone compatible with drone delivery operations.
  • FAA airspace class — faa_airspace_class field returns the FAA-classified airspace zone (A–G and Special Use) for each coordinate. Useful for autonomous delivery and UAV fleet planning.
  • Risk demo on the landing page — interactive live widget showing climate composite scores for any US address.

v1.2.0 Risk scores: deliverability, fraud, vacancy & disaster Feature
  • Deliverability score — 0–100 score indicating how reliably mail and packages reach this address, based on USPS delivery indicators.
  • Fraud risk score — signals commonly associated with synthetic identity fraud, mail forwarding abuse, and address manipulation.
  • Vacancy indicator — probabilistic vacancy flag derived from delivery history and occupancy signals.
  • Disaster risk score — aggregate natural disaster exposure score combining flood, wildfire, and storm recurrence data.
  • All risk scores available on Growth tier and above; returned in the existing /v1/address response under the risk key.

v1.1.0 Xata PostgreSQL migration, health check & compliance page Infrastructure
  • Xata PostgreSQL migration — API keys and usage logs migrated from SQLite to Xata (us-east-1 PostgreSQL). Zero downtime cutover. Address data (NAD) remains on the high-performance local SQLite database.
  • /api/ping shallow health check — new endpoint returns HTTP 200 with {"ok":true} without hitting any database. Used by uptime monitors to prevent false-positive deploy failures.
  • Compliance page — new /compliance page documenting FEMA flood zone determination, HMDA census tract, and NFIP compliance use cases for mortgage and insurance workflows.
  • Improved error messages on key authentication failures — now distinguishes between invalid key, revoked key, and rate limit exceeded.

v1.0.0 Initial launch Launch
  • Address lookup & validation — /v1/address endpoint against 120M+ verified US addresses (since grown to 198M+). Returns standardized address, coordinates, county FIPS, and census tract in a single call.
  • FEMA flood zone enrichment — flood_zone (e.g. AE, X, VE) and flood_sfha boolean for every address. Backed by NFIP flood map data.
  • Census tract + block group — full Census TIGER geographic hierarchy: tract, block group, county FIPS, and state FIPS. HMDA-ready.
  • Autocomplete / suggest API — /v1/suggest endpoint for address typeahead at <30ms. Supports partial street, city, and ZIP input.
  • Bulk address API — /v1/bulk accepts up to 100 addresses per request with the same enrichment pipeline as single lookups.
  • Stripe-billed SaaS — self-serve checkout for Free (10K calls/mo), Starter ($49), Growth ($199), Professional ($499), and Scale ($999) tiers. No sales call required for any tier.
  • Developer portal — key issuance, usage dashboard, and tier management at /portal.
  • Production deployed to geoclear.io via Render + Cloudflare. Uptime monitoring active.
