Overview

What you can get

The Rentals.ca API returns Rentals.ca rental data as JSON through 6 endpoints.

  • Search: search takes a city, region or location, with min_price, max_price, min_beds, max_beds, min_baths, max_baths, min_size, max_size, property_type[], categories[], lease_terms[], furnished[], parking_types[] and amenities[] (all repeatable), pets (all or none), verified, has_images, sort (relevant, recent, cheapest, expensive, newest or ranked), page and per_page.
  • Listings: listing takes a path, url or id.
  • Agencies: agency takes a path, url or id.
  • Places and filters: cities takes a region (AB, BC, MB, NB, NL, NS, NT, NU, ON, PE, QC, SK or YT), with page and per_page; autocomplete takes a query, with limit; facets takes no parameters.

The recorded search for Toronto, ON with max_price=3000, min_beds=2 and sort=cheapest returns listings, each with id, path, url, name, type, listing_type, verified, beds, baths, rent, size, floor_plans, latitude, longitude, address, thumbnail, images_count, created and modified. It also returns total, filtered_count, page, per_page, has_next_page, next_page, a warning, and search_metadata with total_floor_plans.

How a call works

Search a city: GET /v1/rentals-ca/search?city=Toronto&region=ON&max_price=3000&min_beds=2&sort=cheapest with your key in the X-API-Key header. Each listing's path (such as toronto/davisville-avenue-id913891) is what listing takes. Use next_page when has_next_page is true. Every successful call costs 1 credit; failed calls cost nothing.

FAQ

Questions

Do I need a Rentals.ca account?

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

How much does the Rentals.ca 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.

Why can a page hold fewer listings than `per_page`?

Buildings are left out when none of their units fit your filters, so a page can come back short. The response says so in `warning`.

Should I build a Rentals.ca scraper instead?

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