# Home Service Data: Source-Labeled Data for Home Service Quoting

> Home Service Data delivers source-labeled datasets for solar, HVAC, roofing, finance, utility, permits, and labor with quote-safe flags where records are approved for quote use.

Home Service Data gives quoting tools, CRMs, and workflow systems one API for residential finance, equipment, incentive, utility, labor, and permit context. Records are source-tracked and marked quote-safe or context-only.

## How it works

Home Service Data continuously monitors source documents—lender rate sheets, equipment catalogs, incentive program pages, BLS labor data, EIA electricity tables, and utility territory files. When sources change, reviewers update and publish new dataset versions. Every record carries a source link, a review status, a confidence score, and a `quote_safe` flag.

Your API key scopes which datasets you can access and at what level (sample, sandbox, or production). All data is delivered as JSON over HTTPS.

## Quote-safe vs. context-only

Every record returned by the API includes a `quote_safe` boolean. Records where `quote_safe: true` have passed source review and are approved for use in customer-facing quotes. Records where `quote_safe: false` are useful as background context but should not be presented to customers as final pricing.

<Note>
  Check `quote_safe` on every record before using it in a live quote. See [Quote-Safe Data](/docs/concepts/quote-safe) for the full policy.
</Note>

## Supported trades

Home Service Data covers: **solar**, **HVAC**, **roofing**, **plumbing**, and **electrical**. Most dataset endpoints accept a `trade` parameter to filter results to a specific vertical.
