# Zameen Property Search API Documentation

<p><strong>Zameen Property Search API</strong> Search homes, plots and commercial property for sale or for rent. Every filter is applied by Zameen inside the search, so no row breaks a filter you set. Each listing has the id, title (also in Urdu), URL and slug, price in PKR, bedrooms, bathrooms, the area in square metres, square feet, square yards, marla and kanal, position, the location hierarchy with slugs, the category, dates, the cover photo and the number of photos and videos, verification, furnishing, completion and ownership status, amenities, a short description, contact name and phone numbers as Zameen publishes them, and the agency. Values that do not apply, such as bedrooms of a plot, are null. Use rent_frequency as given: it is null when Zameen does not say. Search reaches the first 10,000 results of a query: page times per_page must be at most 10,000, and total_pages and results_capped say so. Use the slug field with the listing endpoint for the full description and all photos.</p>
