RentCast offers a public REST API, which provides access to 140+ million property records, owner details, value and rent estimates, comps, active listings, and real estate market trends.

You can use our API and data to power your real estate applications, enrich your CRM systems, or create custom workflows that require real-time property data.

How to Start Using Our API

You can start retrieving real-time property data using the RentCast API in just a few minutes:

Step 1: Create Your API Key

Sign in to your RentCast account, go to the API Dashboard page from a link in the top navigation bar, and then click Create API Key to create your first API key to use when authenticating requests:

Managing your RentCast API keys

Tip: your API dashboard will also help you manage your API usage and billing, and track your API request metrics, like error rates and latencies.

Step 2: Pick an API Billing Plan

Our API pricing plans start with 50 free API calls per month to allow you to test and develop your integration, and scale with request volume as your usage grows.

You can select one of the available API billing plans from your API dashboard. You can also change or cancel your API billing plan at any time from the same place:

Tip: you can change your saved payment method, and download invoices and receipts on the billing page in your account settings.

Step 3: Make Your First API Request

You can now start making API requests and retrieving property data using the API key you created earlier.
