What is an API?
An application program interface or API is a way for computers or computer components to communicate. You can gain access to AirDNA’s API to pull market-level data or individual property performance information.
How Does an API Work?
When using an API, you effectively ask it to fetch information from a database or server through an API call. A data request based on the parameters of a search, defined by “endpoints.” These identify the basis of your search or call, for example, if you were looking to run a Rentalizer estimate on a property, the API endpoint would be: /rentalizer/estimate, which would then return a full report from our Rentalizer tool.
How to Use Our API
To gain access to AirDNA’s API, you need an API access token which will be set up at purchase by your account manager. You can then implement the API how you wish, whether that be embedding it into a website or performing the calls manually. It is important to note that to utilize our API effectively, you will need an environment in place or a data engineering team to ingest the data.
Our API gives you access to all of our global STR markets, and you can choose the endpoints you want to access at purchase.
What information can you get from our API?
Property Valuations
The AirDNA API is linked to our market-leading valuation tool, Rentalizer, in which you can search an address and gain insight into how it could perform as a short-term rental over the next twelve months.
Listing Data
If you want information about individual short-term rentals, you can access data across multiple metrics, including ADR, occupancy, revenue, and reviews, through our listing data endpoints.
Market Data
Identify STR market trends across multiple metrics to help you understand overall market performance and behaviors.
Market Search
With our Market Search endpoint, you can find out if we have a location mapped and under what market type (neighborhood, city, etc.).
Property Availability
Allows you to check a property's availability for any date up to 12 months into the future.
Smart Rates
The AirDNA Smart Rates API provides recommended daily rates for a particular property. Rates can be searched using an Airbnb property ID, helping you set the most optimized rate for your listing as a host or property manager.
