Jail booking data & county intelligence API
Real-time jail booking, release and bond data for bail bond agencies — via live console, alerts and a REST API with webhooks. Powered by the BailSoft Data Network.
Jail booking data and county intelligence, as a feed
Most agencies still learn about a new booking or a re-arrest by checking county websites by hand. A county intelligence feed flips that: verified, de-duplicated booking, release and bond data is pushed to you within minutes, and made available through search, alerts and an API.
How BailSoft delivers it: the Data Network
The BailSoft Data Network ingests data from official county APIs, open-data portals and public records, then validates, de-duplicates and distributes it to every product. On top of it, BailSoft Intelligence gives you a live console, and BailSoft API exposes the data to your own systems:
- REST API with OAuth authentication.
- Webhooks for event-based integration (new booking, release, re-arrest).
- CSV / JSON bulk export.
- County-by-county coverage — subscribe only to the jurisdictions you work.
Agent-facing data, not a mugshot site
The Data Network is fed only from lawful, public sources at respectful request rates, and it's built for bail agents' operational use — booking, release and bond events tied to the bonds you write. It is deliberately not a public mugshot gallery: BailSoft does not scrape, host or publish mugshots, and Intelligence data is for monitoring only — it is not a consumer report under the FCRA and can't be used for background, credit, employment or housing decisions. See compliance by design and the FCRA notice.
