A real answer from the API, trimmed for length: one of the ten layouts is shown and its long name is cut. The point (Sholinganallur, Chennai) and the survey (Chengalpattu) are two separate checks sent in one call.

What it returns

One call. The layout list comes back when lat and lng are sent; the permit check when survey_number is sent. Send both to get both.

Inputs

The JSON body of the POST is the arguments. Send lat and lng for nearby layouts, survey_number with district and village for the permit check, or both.

Code

Set LANDLENS_KEY to your key. In an AI app, connect https://verified.realestate/mcp once and ask in plain words instead. In Postman, download this API's collection, import it (File, Import) and set apiKey.

curl -X POST https://verified.realestate/api/v1/tools/layout_lookup \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LANDLENS_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"lat":12.901,"lng":80.2279,"radius_km":3,"survey_number":"1460/2","district":"Chengalpattu","village":"Chengalpattu"}'

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://verified.realestate/api/v1/tools/layout_lookup",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LANDLENS_KEY']}"},
    json={
        "lat": 12.901,
        "lng": 80.2279,
        "radius_km": 3,
        "survey_number": "1460/2",
        "district": "Chengalpattu",
        "village": "Chengalpattu"
    },
    timeout=30,
)
body = r.json()
print(body["status"], body["credits_charged"], body["data"])

const res = await fetch("https://verified.realestate/api/v1/tools/layout_lookup", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LANDLENS_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "lat": 12.901,
    "lng": 80.2279,
    "radius_km": 3,
    "survey_number": "1460/2",
    "district": "Chengalpattu",
    "village": "Chengalpattu"
  }),
});
const body = await res.json();
console.log(body.status, body.credits_charged, body.data);

Are there any approved or RERA registered layouts within 2 km of this plot? And does survey 1460/2 in Chengalpattu village have a DTCP layout permit?

Every answer has the same envelope. What status can say for this call:

Limits and good practice

• About a quarter of registered layouts carry no map position and are never found by distance. Search them by name with rera_project.
• The permit check reads the planning permission register, which starts in 2022 and leaves out the Chennai Metropolitan Area. For CMDA land use approval_search or cmda_register.
• Many permits carry no survey number in the listing. approval_search also reads survey numbers out of the approval letters, and finds more.
• Some registered layout names come back joined to the start of their description, as in the sample.
• A registered layout nearby says nothing about the plot itself.
