Getting Started

To get started using our property data API, create a RentCast account to access your API dashboard and generate your first API key. Read this guide for an in-depth walkthrough.

This month we've released the RentCast Zapier integration, improved the consistency of historical market data, and made it easier to view API request metrics for specific API keys.

Check out the highlights below:

RentCast Zapier Integration

The RentCast Zapier integration is now live and available to anyone with a Zapier account.

In case you're not familiar with Zapier, it is a popular automation platform that allows you to connect over 6,000 apps and services without writing any code or custom scripts.

With our new Zapier integration, you can quickly connect any of the property and rental data available through our API to thousands of apps, CRM systems, email clients, spreadsheets, and other apps to create custom workflows and automations.

API Dashboard Improvements

• You can now filter your API request metrics by a specific API key, and view API requests, errors and latencies for each of your apps or integrations from your API dashboard

Property Valuation (/avm/value, /avm/rent/long-term)

• The AVM endpoints will now return 15 comparable properties by default (instead of 10) when the compCount query parameter is not provided
• We've increased the accuracy of our value and rent estimates for properties with a studio layout (when the bedrooms query parameter is set to "0")

Property Listings (/listings/sale, /listings/rental/long-term)

• We've improved the accuracy of the property address parser in our listing endpoints, so you should see fewer cases when an address you provided could not be located

Market Statistics (/markets)

• We've improved the consistency and accuracy of historical rental market data by removing outlier spikes and inconsistent historical data points
• We've added the lastUpdatedDate field to the market statistics endpoint responses that indicates the date data was last updated

Our API documentation has been updated to reflect the above changes and you can view it at any time to review our data sets and API endpoints in more detail.

Getting Started

To get started using our property data API, create a RentCast account to access your API dashboard and generate your first API key. Read this guide for an in-depth walkthrough.

This API release added two new endpoints for retrieving individual property listings, improved our property data coverage, and increased AVM estimate accuracy.

Check out the highlights below:

New Endpoints - Property Listings by Id (/listings/sale/{id}, /listings/rental/long-term/{id})

• We have added two new API endpoints, which allow you to retrieve specific sale or rental listings by their internal property id
• Use the /listings/sale/{id} endpoint to retrieve individual sale listings
• Use the /listings/rental/long-term/{id}endpoint to retrieve individual rental listings
• Property ids can be obtained via the /properties, /avm or /listings endpoints, or cached in your application from prior requests

General Improvements

• We've improved the accuracy of our property address parser, so you should see fewer cases when an address you provided could not be located
• We've improved the speed and performance of many endpoints, especially those that perform geospatial queries

Property Records (/properties)

• We've improved our property data coverage in many counties, so you should see an increased property data availability across the board

Property Valuation (/avm/value, /avm/rent/long-term)

• We've increased the maximum value of the compCount parameter to 25, so you can now retrieve up to 25 comparable properties in each request
• We've increased the accuracy of our value and rent estimates by improving our comparable correlation algorithm

Our API documentation has been updated to reflect the above changes and you can view it at any time to review the newly supported endpoints in more detail.

• Added a zipCode query parameter, which you can use to search for properties in a specific zip code

• Increased the maximum value of the limit query parameter to 500, so you can now retrieve up to 500 property records in a single request

Random Property Records (/properties/random)

• Increased the maximum value of the limit query parameter to 500, so you can now retrieve up to 500 random property records in a single request

Property Valuation (/avm/value, /avm/rent/long-term)

• Reduced the minimum value of the daysOld query parameter from 15 to 1 day
• The AVM endpoints will now return 10 comparable properties by default (instead of 5) when the compCount query parameter is not provided

• Added a propertyType query parameter, which you can use to search for listings matching a specific property type
• Added a status query parameter, which you can use to search for only active or inactive listings
• Added a daysOld query parameter, which you can use to filter listings that were posted within the provided number of days
