The recorded `search` ( `prefecture=tokyo`, `city=13104`, `max_rent=150000`, `layouts=1K,1LDK`, `sort=rent_asc`) for Shinjuku returns `items`, each with `id`, `url`, `building`, `layout`, `area_m2`, `floor_number`, `rent_yen`, `management_fee_yen`, `total_monthly_yen`, `deposit_yen`, `key_money_yen`, `chips`, `photo_count`, `floor_plan_image`, `nearest_station`, `agency`, `updated_at` and `publish_end`. Each `building` carries its `type`, `address`, `built_year`, `age_years`, `structure` and `access`. It also returns `pagination` with `total_pages` and `has_more`. ## How a call works Search 1K and 1LDK rentals in Shinjuku: `GET /v1/chintai/search?prefecture=tokyo&city=13104&max_rent=150000&layouts=1K,1LDK&sort=rent_asc` with your key in the `X-API-Key` header. Find `city` and `line` codes with `locations`. Each item's `id` goes to `listing`, and its `agency.id` goes to `agency` and `agency-listings`. Every successful call costs 1 credit; failed calls cost nothing.

New accounts get free credits to start, and credit packs bring the price down as you scale. **What format are responses in?** Every endpoint returns JSON, with no HTML parsing on your side. **Does it cover homes for sale?** No. These endpoints cover rentals: \`search\` filters by \`min\_rent\` and \`max\_rent\`, and each item carries \`rent\_yen\` and \`total\_monthly\_yen\`. **Should I build a CHINTAI scraper instead?** You can, but a CHINTAI scraper is code you maintain: page changes break it, requests get blocked, and CHINTAI's terms govern how you collect data. The CHINTAI API gives you 6 endpoints of named JSON fields for 1 credit per successful call, and failed calls cost nothing. A scraper makes sense only for data these endpoints don't return, so check the response in the playground on this page first. ## Try the CHINTAI API with 100 free credits No credit card.
