API v1.0 Zumper

Zumper API

US and Canada rental listings from Zumper: apartments, houses and rooms, available units, fees, rent estimates, weekly rent trends and rent reports.

Overview

The Zumper API provides rental data from Zumper for the US and Canada: apartments, houses, rooms, condos and townhouses for rent. Search listings, read every available unit and its fees, and benchmark rents with weekly trends, rent estimates and Zumper’s national and metro rent reports.

Search and data coverage

/locations, /address-lookup and /reverse-geocode turn a place, address or point into the location slug searches take. /search covers up to 20 places at once with price, bedroom, bathroom, pet and amenity filters, and there are radius, map box, polygon and pasted-URL forms. /map-pins and /search-facets support map views and rent histograms, and /parse-search-query turns a plain-English request into search filters.

Listing and building routes return the full record, available units with rent by lease length, itemised move-in and monthly fees, tour availability, the leasing agent, address rent history, Zumper’s building rating, resident reviews and pros and cons. Rent market routes return weekly median rent by bedroom count, rent estimates for any point, city rent stats, the National Rent Report, metro rent reports and city rental market snapshots. Neighborhood, school, Walk Score and nearby place routes add location context.

What you can build

  • Apartment and house rental search across the US and Canada
  • Unit-level availability, move-in fees and tour slots
  • Rent benchmarks from weekly trends, rent stats and rent reports
  • Building ratings, resident reviews and neighborhood lifestyle scores

Coverage and comparison tips

Asking rents and unit availability change daily, so store the date with each record. Compare rents on the same bedroom count and property type. Rent estimates and median rents are market benchmarks and should be kept distinct from the advertised rent of a single listing.

Getting started

Start with /locations to discover the identifiers and filter values used by the routes above. Then test a focused request such as /locations?query=Austin and inspect its JSON response before adding more filters or pagination. The endpoint list below reflects the supplied OpenAPI specification.
