Get on RapidAPI

Overview

The Rent.com API provides US rental property data for apartments, houses, condos and townhomes. Build rental search and market research tools using listing details, floor plans, unit availability and location-based search routes.

Search and data coverage

Resolve a city, ZIP code or neighborhood with /locations and /location-details. Search by a location slug, coordinates, polygon, property name or an existing Rent.com URL. Nationwide search supports broader inventory research. Price, bedrooms, property type, pet policy and amenity filters help narrow results to comparable rentals.

Listing detail, URL lookup and batch lookup routes supply individual records. Building details and similar listings help connect units to their wider property context. /rent-estimate, /utility-estimates, /walk-score and /nearby-places add rental and neighborhood research inputs.

What you can build

  • Apartment and house rental discovery across the US
  • Rent comparisons using location, bedrooms and amenities
  • Building and floor-plan inventory research
  • Neighborhood enrichment with utility and walkability data

Coverage and comparison tips

Listing availability, fees and unit prices can change. Save observation dates with your records and compare rentals using the same area and property criteria. Rent estimates are research inputs and should be kept distinct from the advertised rent of an individual listing.

Getting started

Start with /locations to discover the identifiers and filter values used by the routes above. Then test a focused request such as /locations?query=Austin and inspect its JSON response before adding more filters or pagination. The endpoint list below reflects the supplied OpenAPI specification.
