RentFaster Search API returns current Canadian rental listings from RentFaster for one city. Filter by bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, rent range, furnishing, cat and dog policy or a map box, and page through the results (48 per page). Every listing carries the id, URL, title, rent range with parsed minimum and maximum, bedrooms, bathrooms, area in square feet, availability, address, community, coordinates, pets, utilities, features, parking, images and contact details. Filters are always honoured: if RentFaster ignores a filter, the request fails instead of returning unfiltered rows. Page N is the real Nth page. Junk rows such as storage units and one-dollar placeholders are removed and counted in removed_count; total_results is the site total. RentFaster lists rentals only; there are no sale listings. A valid search with no matches is a successful, empty response.
