# The Lender cell

> One H3 hexagon a lender lent in: its loans, volume, purchase-money and investor counts, and the loans it took back.

<Note>
  Early access: while the developer tier is in beta, the API serves this route to Investorlift's team and trusted partners. Investorlift will restrict the route further before it opens to every key.
</Note>

One row of [`GET /v1/lenders/{id}/cells`](/api-reference/endpoints/lenders-cells): one H3 hexagon at the requested
resolution and what one lender did in it over the window.

## Read a cell

* **`cell`** is the H3 index as hex, the same string [`GET /v1/deals/cells`](/api-reference/endpoints/deals-cells)
  uses and any H3 library turns into an outline. The cell is the parcel's, so every loan sits in exactly one cell at
  each resolution. The API never clips an edge cell.
* **`n`** counts the lender's instruments of any kind in the cell over the window, once across the open-lien and
  recorded-history tables. With `product=` on the request, it is the named products' counts alone. **`volume`** sums
  the priced ones under the \$5,000,000 amount rule and the blanket rule of
  [the Lender object](/api-reference/objects/lender#what-the-counts-are). `product` never narrows it.
* **`n_purchase_money`** and **`n_investor`** are the instruments among the cell's that financed a purchase, and those
  whose borrower resolves to a registered investor. Both are null where the market's build does not include the deed
  link.
* **`n_foreclosed`** counts the cell's instruments that a take-back deed followed. The deed is a trustee's deed, a
  sheriff's deed or a deed in lieu of foreclosure on the parcel. It comes after the recording and before any resale or
  later mortgage. This is the reading `foreclosed` on [the loan row](/api-reference/objects/lender-loan#foreclosed)
  carries. It is a deed count, never a delinquency measure.

Every cell is dated: `as_of` is the registry's slice date and `meta.dated[]` on the response names the `lenders` and
`financing` blocks. A cell carries no ids, no names and no prices.
