Improved
[Mar 29, 2026] Normalized Lien Filing Type
3 months ago by Juan Escrig
The filing_type field in lien filing responses is now normalized to a consistent set of values across all states. Previously, the raw value from each state's system was returned - which varied widely (e.g. "1", "UCC FINANCING STATEMENT", "Original", "Amendment" depending on the state).
filing_type now returns a standardized value making cross-state filtering and classification reliable without custom state-by-state handling on your end.
