# Apartments.com Rent and Availability API

## Overview

The Apartments.com Rent and Availability API returns US apartment rents, floor plans and the units open right now as JSON. One endpoint takes cities, ZIP codes or Apartments.com search links with optional rent, bedroom, bathroom, pet and property type filters, and returns one row per property with its rent range, every open unit with its rent, size and move-in date, every floor plan, move-in specials, fees, pet policy, amenities and leasing contact.

It is built for real estate investors and analysts building rent comps, property managers watching competitor pricing and concessions, relocation and apartment search apps, and researchers tracking US rental markets. Rents are the asking rents each building lists today, unit by unit, not a single estimate per address.

## Features

*   **1 endpoint**: search properties by city, ZIP code or Apartments.com link.
*   **Unit-level rents**: every open unit with rent, size, floor plan and move-in date.
*   **Floor plans**: rent range and units available per plan.
*   **Costs and policies**: move-in specials, fees, pet policy and amenities.
*   **Filters**: rent range, bedrooms, bathrooms, pets and property type, up to 50 locations.
*   **Rate limit**: up to 10 requests per second.

## Use Cases

*   **Rent comps**: compare asking rents for similar units nearby.
*   **Concession tracking**: watch move-in specials across competing buildings.
*   **Apartment search apps**: show open units with prices and move-in dates.
*   **Market research**: track vacancy and rent levels by city.

## FAQ

*   **What can I send in `locations`?**
    A city and state such as `Austin, TX`, a 5-digit ZIP code, or an Apartments.com search link, which keeps its own filters.

*   **What does 0 bedrooms mean?**
    A studio.

*   **Are rents in USD?**
    Yes, monthly rent in US dollars as the property lists it.

*   **Why is the response large?**
    Each property carries every open unit and floor plan; lower `maxResults` or turn off `includeUnits` for smaller responses.
