Overview

What you can get

The Rent.com API returns Rent.com rental data as JSON through 3 endpoints.

  • Search: search takes a location path such as /texas/austin/, with property_types[], beds[], baths[] and amenities[] (all repeatable), price_min, price_max, sqft_min, sqft_max, pet_friendly (true, false, 1 or 0), sort (price_asc, price_desc or beds_asc) and page.
  • Listings: listing takes an id or a url.
  • Autocomplete: autocomplete takes a q, with limit.

The recorded search for 2-bedroom rentals in Austin up to $1,500, sorted by price_asc, returns the matched location, pagination with a total of 1,061, per_page (30) and total_pages, and units_available_total. Each item in items carries id, name, url, property_type, verified, address, price, beds, baths, sqft, units, availability_status, updated_at, phone, rating, highlights, manager, photo_count and photos.

How a call works

Search a city: GET /v1/rent-com/search?location=/texas/austin/&beds[]=2&price_max=1500&sort=price_asc&page=1 with your key in the X-API-Key header. Each item's id or url is what listing takes. Check has_next_page in pagination before asking for the next page. Every successful call costs 1 credit; failed calls cost nothing.

FAQ

Questions

Do I need a Rent.com account?

No. You call this Rent.com API with your Perceptlayer key in the `X-API-Key` header, with no Rent.com login.

How much does the Rent.com API cost?

Each successful call costs one credit. 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.

What goes in `location`?

A Rent.com location path such as /texas/austin/. The response echoes it as `seo_path` in `location`.

Should I build a Rent.com scraper instead?

You can, but a Rent.com scraper is code you maintain: page changes break it, requests get blocked, and Rent.com's terms govern how you collect data. The Rent.com API gives you 3 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.
