Apartment List Data Parser & API

Apartment List is a major US apartment-matching rental portal — self-reporting 7M+ apartments across the country — and PropAPIS extracts its unit rents, floor plans, amenities, and availability through a single REST API. Access long-term rental listings with unit-level pricing and amenity detail without building or maintaining a scraper.

Extract Apartment List rentals with the PropAPIS SDKs or a direct REST call.

from propapis import PropAPIS
 
api = PropAPIS(api_key='your_api_key')
 
# Search rental listings
listings = api.platforms.apartment_list.search_listings(
    location='Denver, CO',
    min_beds=1,
    max_rent=2500,
)
 
for listing in listings[:5]:
    print(f"{listing.address} — ${listing.rent:,}/mo")
    print(f"  {listing.beds}bd / {listing.baths}ba  {listing.floor_plan}")

import { PropAPIS } from 'propapis';
 
const api = new PropAPIS({ apiKey: 'your_api_key' });
 
const listings = await api.platforms.apartmentList.searchListings({
  location: 'Denver, CO',
  minBeds: 1,
  maxRent: 2500,

for (const listing of listings.slice(0, 5)) {
  console.log(`${listing.address} — $${listing.rent.toLocaleString()}/mo`);
