Xactimate SEL Code Dataset

ESXPress publishes its Xactimate SEL code reference as a single machine-readable JSON file: 18,039 codes across 88 categories, each with its category prefix, category name, and unit of measure. It is the same catalog that powers the free Xactimate code search, delivered as data so a developer, a spreadsheet, or an AI system can read it directly.

Where to get it

The file is served from a stable public URL and needs no key or signup:

https://esxpress.org/codes-search.json

It is a JSON array. Each element is one code record. The file is regenerated whenever the code reference is updated.

What each record contains

Field	Meaning
sel	The Xactimate SEL (selector) code, for example ACCAGP.
cat	The category prefix the code belongs to, for example ACC.
catName	The category name in plain English, for example Anchors and Mobile Home Accessories.
unit	The unit of measure the code is estimated in, for example EA (each) or SF (square foot).
desc	Reserved for a short description. Intentionally empty in the published file.
