Fee and Pet Policy Research
Compare admin, application and pet fees, deposits and amenities across properties.
Neighborhood Context
Read walk scores, schools and nearby places for every listing.
Rent.com scraper API
Rent.com API for US rentals, rents and floor plans
The Rent.com API is built for rental analytics, listing tools and market research. Each search item carries the rent range, address with coordinates, beds, baths, size, available units, phone, rating, highlights, manager and photos. Listing detail adds the description, fees, pet policies, amenities, floor plans with every unit, schools, walk score, nearby places, rent estimates and similar listings. Rent.com lists rentals only, so there is no sale search and no agent endpoint.
Search by city, ZIP code, neighborhood or state, 30 listings per page.
Filters are always honoured: items that break a filter are never returned.
Pagination returns the real page; a page is never labelled as another page.
A place that does not exist is a clean 404, never a whole state of results.
Failed requests are never billed.
