The real estate API for rental listings.

A real estate API returns property data as structured JSON, so you pull listings, prices, and locations into your product without scraping sites yourself. HousingFeed is the real estate API for live rental listings, and the deepest source at it. Most tools sold as a "real estate API" resell a single aggregator or stop at US for-sale records. HousingFeed goes to the sources directly and covers rentals across 30 countries in one clean schema.

Three kinds of real estate data

Real estate data splits into three kinds. HousingFeed is the deepest source for the one most APIs skip: live rental listings.

What the API returns

Every listing comes back as the same 24-field record, whatever platform or country it came from. Fields are nullable by design; the union across sources is what makes the feed valuable.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/housingfeed~rental-listings-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"country":"US","city":"Austin","beds":2,"maxItems":100}'

Built for rental data

If you specifically need a rental data API, this is the core of the product. Rentals are the whole feed here, which changes what the data can do:

• Rent done right. Every record carries rent in its native currency and a converted rent_usd, so a Berlin flat and a Boston condo compare in a single query across all 30 countries.
• Availability and furnished. An availability signal and a furnished flag on each listing let you separate long-term unfurnished stock from furnished and mid-term inventory, which most feeds blur together.
• Rental market metrics, not just rows. The same listings aggregate into active inventory counts and rent percentiles (p25 / median / p75) by metro and bedroom. See them live on the rental market pages, or pull the raw comps and compute your own.

Listing-level rent plus market-level distribution, in one API, is what rental work actually needs. Most real estate APIs give you neither.

Listing-level property data

For property data, HousingFeed serves the listing-level attributes of each rental: where it is, how big it is, and what it is.

Straight answer, so you do not integrate the wrong tool: this is listing-level property data, not tax, assessor, ownership, or automated valuation (AVM) records. For public records or an AVM, use ATTOM or HouseCanary. For what is actually listed for rent, and its real attributes, this is the deeper source.

Because coordinates ship on every record that has them, you can map inventory, cluster by neighborhood, or run distance-based comps without a separate geocoding step.

Straight from the source

Coverage is where a real estate API lives or dies. HousingFeed goes to the platforms that host the inventory: property-management software like AppFolio (97K live listings), Buildium, and ShowMojo, plus the major national portals like Zillow (224K), Apartments.com (173K), Zumper, Rightmove, and Idealista. Browse all 60+ sources, or see rental market data by metro.

Where each tool fits

Different tools solve different problems. Here is where each fits, including where they beat us.

If you need assessor records or an AVM, use ATTOM or HouseCanary. If you need live rental inventory beyond the US, in one schema with rent already in USD, that is us. Compare directly against RentCast, the Zillow API, Realtor.com, and Redfin.

One request, structured JSON

It is an Apify actor. Send a single POST with your filters and get JSON back synchronously. No infrastructure, no proxies, no browser pool on your side, and nothing to maintain when a portal changes its markup.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/housingfeed~rental-listings-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"country":"US","city":"Denver","property_type":"house","rent_max":3000,"maxItems":100}'
