Open one for its parameters and an example request. | Endpoint | Required parameters | Cost | | --- | --- | --- | | [GET `/v1/rent-com/autocomplete`](https://perceptlayer.com/apis/rent-com/autocomplete) | `q` +1 optional | 1 credit | | [GET `/v1/rent-com/listing`](https://perceptlayer.com/apis/rent-com/listing) | none +2 optional | 1 credit | | [GET `/v1/rent-com/search`](https://perceptlayer.com/apis/rent-com/search) | `location` +11 optional | 1 credit | Overview ## About the Rent.com API ## 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.

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. ## Try the Rent.com API with 100 free credits No credit card.
