Terms
These terms cover use of the InvestViews API. They are deliberately short, and each one exists for a reason stated beside it.
What you may do
Use the figures in your own product, analysis or research. Build a valuation tool on them, put them in a report you sell, feed them to an agent that answers questions for your customers. That is what the API is for.
Cache them. Every response tells you which period it describes and when it was built, so you can store an answer and reuse it rather than asking twice. Nothing here requires you to re-request data you already hold.
What you may not do
Redistribute or resell the aggregates themselves
You may sell what you build with the data. You may not sell the data.
The line is whether a customer of yours could substitute your product for an InvestViews subscription. A market report priced off our medians is a product. A feed, an export, a bulk download or an API of your own that re-serves our figures is a substitute, and is not permitted.
⚠️ This includes indirect redistribution: publishing a dataset, committing figures to a public repository, or exposing an endpoint that proxies ours to callers who are not you.
Circumvent the quota
Your allowance is per account. Splitting a workload across multiple accounts, sharing a token between parties, or rotating tokens to reset a counter are all the same act: taking more than the plan sold you.
⚠️ This is the one term that ends access immediately rather than after a conversation. Quota is how the service is paid for, so circumventing it is not a billing dispute — it is a decision not to pay. Everything else here we will contact you about first.
Attribution
If you display our figures publicly, say where they came from. A visible "Data: InvestViews"
with a link to investviews.ai is enough. It is not required for internal use, for analysis you do
not publish, or for figures that inform a decision without being shown.
The reason is narrow and practical: a median price per square metre with no source is unfalsifiable. Attribution lets a reader judge the number, and lets us correct it if it is wrong.
Accuracy, and what the figures are not
The API reports what listings say, aggregated. It does not report transactions, valuations or appraisals.
- A median asking price is not a median sale price.
- Coverage varies by country and by level — a place with few listings produces a thin figure, and the API tells you so rather than hiding it.
- Periods are closed windows. The newest complete period can be days old; the response states which window it describes.
Do not present our figures as a valuation, an appraisal or investment advice, and do not represent them as transaction data. If your product implies any of those, the implication is yours and not ours.
Availability
There is no uptime commitment on the API today. Quota and rate limits may change with notice; the endpoint contract will not change without a version.
What happens when a term is broken
| Term | What happens |
|---|---|
| Quota circumvention | access terminated, immediately |
| Redistribution or resale | we contact you; access suspended if it continues |
| Missing attribution | we contact you; no suspension for a first instance |
| Misrepresenting the figures | we contact you |
Tokens can be revoked individually, so a single misbehaving integration does not have to cost you the account.
Questions
If you are unsure whether something you want to build is redistribution, ask before you build it. The answer is usually yes-you-can, and it is far cheaper to hear that first.
