Rentals.ca scraper API

Rentals.ca API for Canadian rental listings, rents and floor plans

The Rentals.ca API is built for rental analytics, listing tools and market research. Each search item carries the building name, address with coordinates, the floor plans with beds, baths, rent, size and availability, the photos and the verified flag. Listing detail adds the description, amenities, building facts, open houses, promotions, tours and the management company.

One search route for Canadian rentals, up to 100 per page.

Filters are always honoured: floor plans that break a bed, bath, rent or size filter are never returned.

Pagination returns the real page; a page past the end is empty, never page one.

Rentals only. There is no sale mode and no keyword search.

A valid empty result is a successful, billable response; failures are never billed.

Choose the right Rentals.ca API endpoint

Use Rental Search for market coverage

Pass a city and province such as Toronto and ON, add rent, bedroom and size filters, then page through the results.

Open Rentals.ca Search API docs

Use Listing Detail for the full record

Pass the path of a search result to get floor plans, amenities, photos and the management company.

Open Rentals.ca Listing API docs

Use Autocomplete to build searches

Resolve a place name to a ready location value and pass it into search.

Frequently asked questions

No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rentals.ca. The Rentals.ca API returns structured JSON from public listing data through a Scrappa API key.

No. Rentals.ca lists rentals only and ignores keywords, so those parameters are rejected instead of returning unfiltered data.

A building matches when any unit fits a filter. Units that do not fit are removed, and a building with no fitting unit is left out.

No. Personal contact data is never returned. Listing detail returns the contact name and the management company.

No. Only successful responses are billed. A valid empty result is successful and billable.
