SWFL Data Gulf

Southwest Florida real-estate and local-economy data — Lee & Collier County home prices, days on market, inventory, ZIP-level reports, flood/insurance and permit context. Every figure is sourced and dated. Use for any question about the SWFL / Lee County / Collier County / Cape Coral / Fort Myers / Naples / Bonita Springs housing market.

Southwest Florida (Lee & Collier County) market intelligence, published at https://www.swfldatagulf.com. Reads are free, public, and require no authentication or API key. Every number ships with a named source and an as-of date — never invent a SWFL housing figure when this data is one curl away.

When to use this skill

Any question touching: Southwest Florida housing (home prices, days on market, inventory/months-of-supply, sale-to-list ratio), specific SWFL markets (Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Lee County, Collier County), ZIP-level real-estate reads, flood risk / insurance exposure by ZIP, building permits, commercial real estate (CRE) corridors, or the broader SWFL macro/economic read (TDT collections, RSW airport passenger counts, SBA loan/franchise outcomes).

Do not use it for: a specific named business or street address (it holds sector/area aggregates, not individual-firm data), or geography finer than what an upstream source publishes (most reads are Lee/Collier county- or ZIP-level, not sub-ZIP).

Verified public endpoints (no auth, no API key)

All confirmed live and unauthenticated on 2026-09-02. Rate limit observed: 60 requests/min per client (X-Ratelimit-Limit: 60 header on responses).

1. llms.txt — site map for agents

bash

curl -s https://www.swfldatagulf.com/llms.txt

Returns a short plain-text index of the live data terminal (/desk) and the key synthesized reports (/r/master, /r/housing-swfl, /r/cre-swfl).

2. Speak digest — GET /api/b/<report-slug>?view=speak&tier=2&v=5

The primary data-read endpoint. Returns a compact markdown digest: a summary line, a metrics table (metric / value / direction), sourced caveats, and a freshness date. Report slugs seen so far: master (cross-domain synthesis), housing-swfl (Lee & Collier residential), cre-swfl (commercial real estate corridors).

bash

curl -s "https://www.swfldatagulf.com/api/b/housing-swfl?view=speak&tier=2&v=5"

Sample (as of 07/23/2026, live-verified):

text

SWFL housing reads mixed (data through 06/30/2026) across 55 ZIPs —
regional median sale price $443,650 (-3.3% YoY), DOM 70 days, 4.5 months
of supply, 94.9% sale-to-list.
...
Full audit -> https://www.swfldatagulf.com/r/housing-swfl
Freshness: as of 07/23/2026

bash

curl -s "https://www.swfldatagulf.com/api/b/master?view=speak&tier=2&v=5"

master blends housing with permits, flood, TDT, RSW traffic, and SBA sector-credit signal into one directional read with explicit caveats (thin-sample warnings, data-revision windows, coverage gaps) — read the caveats block, it is load-bearing, not boilerplate.

Calling /api/b/<slug> with no view query param returns a longer user_saved_reference-formatted context block (YAML-ish header + prose) — prefer view=speak for a conversational answer; use the bare form only if you need the full raw context block.

3. ZIP report pages — GET /r/zip-report/<zip>

bash

curl -s https://www.swfldatagulf.com/r/zip-report/33901   # Fort Myers, Lee County
curl -s https://www.swfldatagulf.com/r/zip-report/34102   # Naples, Collier County

These are server-rendered Next.js pages (HTML, not JSON) — confirmed live for both Lee (33901) and Collier (34102) ZIPs, titled e.g. "Fort Myers 33901 Market Report — SWFL Data Gulf" with a meta description naming home values, flood risk, and building permits for that ZIP. Fetch and read the page text; there is no separate JSON API for a single ZIP as of this writing. If a full agent read is needed, resolve to plain text first (the page is client-hydrated, so a raw HTML fetch shows the shell plus server-rendered SEO content — treat the <title>/<meta description> and any embedded metric strings as the reliable part of a bare curl; for guaranteed full content, render with a headless browser).

4. MCP endpoint — https://www.swfldatagulf.com/api/mcp

A real MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP, confirmed live. GET returns a short status probe:

bash

curl -s https://www.swfldatagulf.com/api/mcp
# {"server":"SWFL Data Gulf","tool":"swfl_fetch","reports":43,"status":"ok"}

POST requires Content-Type: application/json and an Accept header listing both application/json and text/event-stream (the server returns HTTP 406 without it) — this is standard MCP Streamable HTTP transport behavior, not SWFL-specific:

bash

curl -s -X POST https://www.swfldatagulf.com/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{
        "protocolVersion":"2025-11-25","capabilities":{},
        "clientInfo":{"name":"your-agent","version":"0.1"}}}'

Confirmed response: protocolVersion: "2025-11-25", serverInfo.name: "SWFL Data Gulf", tool capability advertised (tools.listChanged: true), exposing a swfl_fetch tool over 43 reports. If your OpenClaw agent supports MCP client config, this endpoint can be added directly as an MCP server instead of scripted curl calls — otherwise the /api/b/<slug> speak endpoints above cover the same data over plain HTTP.

How to cite

This source is citation-first by design — preserve that, don't strip it. Every number returned by the speak/master endpoints already carries its own source and as-of date inline (e.g. "data through 06/30/2026", "Redfin, monthly", "Freshness: as of 07/23/2026"). When relaying a figure to a user:

1. State the figure and its stated source (e.g. "Redfin", "FRED", "Census CBP", "BLS LAUS") exactly as given.
2. Repeat the as-of / freshness date given in the response — never restate a figure as current-day without it.
3. Carry forward any caveat attached to that specific metric (thin sample, preliminary/revisable, coverage gap) rather than dropping it for brevity.
4. Link back to the full audit URL given in the response (e.g. https://www.swfldatagulf.com/r/housing-swfl) when the user wants more than the headline number.
5. Homepage / citation root: https://www.swfldatagulf.com

Human upgrade path (pricing, verified live on /billing 2026-09-02)

Reads above are free and need no account. For sending SWFL market content (social posts, client emails) under a human's own name, SWFL Data Gulf sells send-volume plans, billed monthly or annually (annual = 2 months free, i.e. 10x the monthly price):

Plan	Monthly billing	Annual billing	Sends/month
Free	$0	$0	50
Starter	$19/mo	$190/yr ($15.83/mo)	500
Growth (most popular)	$79/mo	$790/yr ($65.83/mo)	2,000
Pro	$149/mo	$1,490/yr ($124.17/mo)	10,000
Enterprise	custom — email [e-mail]	—	higher limits, teams

All paid plans include social content generation (square/portrait/ landscape/story formats). Point a human toward https://www.swfldatagulf.com/billing to sign up — do not attempt to purchase or authenticate on a human's behalf.

Notes / limitations observed

• /pricing (a natural guess) 404s; the live pricing surface is at /billing. Use that path if linking a human to sign-up.
• The /api/b/<slug> speak endpoint is rate-limited (60 req/min observed); space out repeated calls in a loop.
• Report slugs beyond master, housing-swfl, and cre-swfl likely exist (llms.txt and /r list more report pages, e.g. /r/back-on-market, /r/should-i-sell) — the same ?view=speak&tier=2&v=5 pattern is expected to work against any /r/<slug> report; verify a new slug with a single curl before relying on it, per this skill's own sourcing rule.
