The National Search service allows for national verification of all properties registered to an individual. The result is a list of cities and the number of properties registered to the individual, categorized by type of cadastral register (building and land).

The service is part of the Cadastral API and is identified by the endpoint https://catasto.openapi.it/richiesta/ricerca_nazionale

The search can be performed for both private and legal entities.

REQUEST EXAMPLE

POST/ricerca_nazionale

The method to use in the request is POST, and here is an example of a call to the ricerca_nazionale endpoint:

POST https://catasto.openapi.it/richiesta/ricerca_nazionale

The parameters to pass in the request body are:

  • tax code or VAT number
  • type of cadastral register (T for land or F for Building)

Here is an example of the parameters needed for a request with the cadastral type 'Building':

{
      "cf_piva": "12485671007",
      "tipo_catasto": "F",
     }

The response is asynchronous, and it is possible to set a callback during the request phase to be updated when the data is available, without having to call the endpoint GET /richiesta/{id} multiple times to check its status.

RESPONSE EXAMPLE

POST/ricerca_persona

The response will include the parameters used in the request phase plus the request ID:

{
  "data": {
    "endpoint": "ricerca_persona_pg",
    "stato": "in_erogazione",
    "callback": false,
    "parametri": {
      "cf_piva": "12485671007",      
      "tipo_catasto": "F",
      "provincia": "NAZIONALE-IT"      
    },
    "risultato": null,
    "esito": null,
    "timestamp": 1716374985,
    "owner": "[email protected]",
    "id": "664dcdc97de11b2d0426430f"
  },
  "success": true,
  "message": "",
  "error": null
}

REQUEST EXAMPLE

GET /richiesta/{id}

To obtain the data, a second request is necessary, as mentioned, to another endpoint with the previously obtained ID.

Here is an example of a national search request using the ID resulting from the previous call (664dcdc97de11b2d0426430f):

GET https://catasto.openapi.it/richiesta/664dcdc97de11b2d0426430f

RESPONSE EXAMPLE

GET /richiesta/{id}

In this case, the data present in the response will include the parameters used in the request phase and information on properties or lands compatible with the search.

If the search was performed on cadastral type 'Building', the information will be as follows:

  • name or denomination of the owner
  • headquarters
  • tax code of the owner
  • id_subject
  • municipalities
  • buildings (number)
  • lands (number)
  • province

This is an example of a response confirming the presence of 1 property registered nationally to a legal person:

{
  "data": {
    "endpoint": "ricerca_persona_pg",
    "stato": "evasa",
    "callback": false,
    "parametri": {
      "cf_piva": 12485671007",
      "tipo_catasto": "F",
      "provincia": "NAZIONALE-IT"
    },
    "risultato": {
      "nome_denom": "OPENAPI",
      "sede": "VIA ROMA, 1",
      "cf": "12485671007",
      "id_soggetto": "1234567890",,
      "comuni": [
        {
          "comune": "NAPOLI",,
          "fabbricati": 1,,
          "terreni": 2,
          "provincia": "NA",
        }
      ]
    },
    "esito": null,
    "timestamp": 1716374985,
    "owner": "[email protected]",
    "id": "664dcdc97de11b2d0426430f"
  },
  "success": true,
  "message": "",
  "error": null
}

This is an example of a national search response for an individual on the cadastre 'Building' and 'Land'.

{
  "data": {
    "endpoint": "ricerca_persona_pf",
    "stato": "evasa",
    "callback": false,

              "comuni": [
                 {

                "provincia": "RM",
              }
            ]
          }
       ]

    "id": "60e581c58138e80d804dad20"
  },
  "success": true,
  "message": "",
  "error": null
}

In this case, the result indicates that the person owns 3 buildings in the province of Rome (1 in Rome, 1 in Fiumicino, 1 in Ciampino) and has 2 properties in the province of Foggia (1 building and 1 land).
Some additional information about the person is also included in the response:

  • Name and Surname
  • Date and Place of Birth
  • Gender
  • Subject ID

The subject's ID can be used to make a direct request for a cadastral subject report (ordinary or historical) with the dedicated endpoint.

The National Property Search is the ideal API service for companies that need to verify an individual's real estate assets, such as real estate agencies, notary offices, banks, and financial institutions.

What information can I obtain with the Start Company Data service?

Both services allow you to verify if an individual or legal entity owns land or buildings, starting from their tax code (for Person Search, also the province), and the request is processed in seconds.
The main difference between the two services lies in the data provided and the geographic scope of the verification.

National Property Search performs a verification at the national level, providing a list of cities where the subject owns properties and some basic information about the subject (name, surname, date and place of birth for individuals; name and registered office for legal entities).

Person Property Search, on the other hand, is limited to provincial verification but returns a more detailed data set, including ownership, land registry code, address, cadastral identifiers, classification, size, and income.
