FAQ

Where does the data come from?

The Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation's public licence search (the short-term rental registrations it holds under the Real Estate board). The actor reads the search and each registration's detail page live on every run.

How do I check whether an address is registered?

Put the street address (e.g. 63 Buoy St) in queries. The actor matches the house number and street words against every active registration and returns the match, or a free no-match notice. An address lookup reads all active registrations, which took about 3 minutes on 2026-11-03; a batch of addresses shares that one read.

Why do only some rows have a mailing address?

The mailing (business) address is what the registrant filed, and many filed none. Across all 3,684 active registrations on 2026-11-03, 1,255 (34%) had one. Email and phone are rarer still: 125 showed an email and 5 a phone.

How do I get only active registrations?

Put ACTIVE in Registration status (categories). INACTIVE returns registrations that are no longer active, the larger part of the registry (6,689 of 10,373 on 2026-11-03).

Can I filter by town?

Yes: city takes one or more towns as written on the registration (Newport, Narragansett, New Shoreham ...). Matching ignores case and punctuation. Some registrations write a village or island name instead of the town (Wakefield, Block Island), so add those spellings too.

How long does a run take?

Every run reads the search, plus the detail page of each registration it needs: about 3 minutes for one town's active registrations (Jamestown, 131 rows) and 7.5 minutes for all 3,684 active registrations in the state (measured 2026-11-03). If the run's timeout is reached first, it delivers what it has and adds a free notice saying how many rows are missing their detail page.

How am I charged?

One event per registration returned. Notices are free.
