Introduction

The RentCast real estate and property data API provides on-demand access to 140+ million property records, owner details, home value and rent estimates, comparable properties, active sale and rental listings, as well as aggregate real estate market data.

We have nationwide coverage for most residential and commercial properties in the US, as well as sale and rental market data coverage for most US zip codes and cities.

Example Use Cases

Here are some examples of what you can do with our API to power your real estate applications, business operations or workflows:

• Retrieve dozens of data points for a specific property address, including structural attributes, property features, tax assessment history, and property tax amounts

• Look up the names and contact information of current property owners, as well as the sale history of each property

• Get real-time property value and rent estimates (AVM) based on the unique characteristics of each property and nearby comparable listings

• Retrieve sales or rental comparables for a specific property, including their attributes, listed prices or rents, and distance from the subject property

• Search for active sale and rental listings in a specific city or geographical area with different ways to filter the available data

• Access historical price and rent trends, market averages, listing and composition statistics for most US zip codes

Data Sources and Accuracy

Maintaining an accurate data set of property records is our top priority. We obtain our data from a variety of sources, including public county records, recorded deeds, tax assessor databases, and online directories.

Combining and normalizing property and listing data across multiple sources allows us to maintain an accurate record of the majority of properties and listings in the United States.

We continuously update our internal database and process over 500 thousand record and listing updates daily. Updated data is immediately available via our API without delays or caching.

API Plans and Pricing

We offer a free API plan that includes up to 50 free API requests per month, so you can test our API and develop your integration without any upfront commitments or long-term contracts.

Our paid API plans have a transparent and predictable pricing model that scales with your API request volume, and gives you access to nationwide property and rental data at an extremely competitive cost.

You can start, change or stop your API plan at any time from your online API dashboard. View this guide to learn more about billing and managing your API subscription.
