Rent.com rental search
Apartments, houses, condos and townhomes for rent in a US city on Rent.com, with the site's filters (bedrooms or a bedroom range, minimum bathrooms, rent range, pets allowed, amenities, cheap, luxury, new, specials) and sorts. Each result has id, link, name, property type, address, city, state, ZIP, coordinates, rent and range, bed/bath/size texts, units available, availability, price drops, deals, amenities, highlights, verified flag, rating, views, demand, update date, photos, 3D tours and videos, the managing company (or listing broker), the leasing office phone, website and hours, and every floor plan with its rent range, size, availability, photos and units. Private landlords' phone numbers are left out. 30 per page. Pass next_page back as page; null on the last page.
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/rentcom/v1/search?city=Austin%2C+TX" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(

res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/rentcom/v1/search");
url.searchParams.set("city", "Austin, TX");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
