--- name: rentcast.x402.paysponge.com description: This host provides access to RentCast real estate data across three endpoints: active long-term rental listings, active for-sale property listings, and randomly sampled US property records. All three skills return arrays of property data with address, physical details, and associated metadata. No inputs are required to call any of the skills. host: rentcast.x402.paysponge.com --- # rentcast.x402.paysponge.com rentcast.x402.paysponge.com exposes a subset of the RentCast property database through three fixed-query endpoints. It serves agents that need current residential listing data (rentals or sales) or exploratory property record samples without specifying a target address. It does not support address-based lookups, short-term/vacation rentals, historical sold transactions, or aggregate market statistics. ## When to use this host Use this host when an agent needs a broad pull of active long-term rental listings, active for-sale listings, or a random sample of US property records without targeting a specific address. Do not use this host for: short-term or vacation rental data, historical closed/sold transaction records, address-specific property lookups (use a property search or geocoding API instead), or rental market aggregate statistics such as median rents or vacancy rates. Because all three skills take no inputs and return arrays, this host is best suited for sampling, broad inventory review, or feed-style ingestion rather than targeted property research. ## Capabilities ### Active Listings Retrieves currently active property listings — either long-term rentals or for-sale properties — with full listing details including price, property specs, MLS info, listing agent, and price history. - **`fetch-long-term-rental-listings`** — Returns an array of active long-term rental listings from RentCast, each with address, price, property details, MLS info, listing agent/office, and price history. - **`fetch-sale-listings`** — Returns an array of real estate properties currently listed for sale, including price, address, property details, listing agent, and price history. ### Property Record Sampling Returns randomly selected US property records from the RentCast dataset, useful for exploratory analysis, testing, or building a representative sample of property data including ownership, tax assessments, and sale history. - **`fetch-random-property-records`** — Returns an array of randomly selected US property records from the RentCast dataset, including address, ownership, tax assessments, sale history, and physical features. ## Workflows ### Rental vs. Sale Market Snapshot *Use when an agent needs to compare currently active rental listings against for-sale listings in the RentCast dataset to understand the split between rental and ownership inventory.* 1. **`fetch-long-term-rental-listings`** — Retrieve active long-term rental listings with rent prices, bedroom/bathroom counts, and days on market. 2. **`fetch-sale-listings`** — Retrieve active for-sale listings with sale prices and equivalent property details, then compare against the rental data for inventory and pricing analysis. ### Listing Validation Against Property Records *Use when an agent needs to cross-reference active listing data with underlying property record attributes such as ownership, tax assessment, or historical sale data.* 1. **`fetch-random-property-records`** — Pull a sample of property records to obtain baseline ownership, tax, and physical feature data. 2. **`fetch-sale-listings`** — Retrieve active sale listings and match against sampled property records to validate or enrich listing details with assessment and ownership context. ## Skill reference ### `fetch-long-term-rental-listings` **RentCast Long-Term Rental Listings** — Returns an array of active long-term rental listings from RentCast, each with address, price, property details, MLS info, listing agent/office, and price history. *Use when:* Use when an agent needs current long-term rental listing data including rent prices, bedroom/bathroom counts, square footage, listing dates, days on market, and MLS details for residential properties. *Not for:* Do not use for short-term or vacation rental listings, property sale listings, or rental market aggregate statistics — those require different endpoints. **Returns:** Returns a JSON array of long-term rental listing objects, each containing full address, coordinates, property type, rent price, bed/bath/sqft, MLS details, listing agent and office contacts, and a date-keyed price history. **Example:** `GET https://rentcast.x402.paysponge.com/listings/rental/long-term` --- ### `fetch-random-property-records` **Random Property Fetch** — Returns an array of randomly selected US property records from the RentCast dataset, including address, ownership, tax assessments, sale history, and physical features. *Use when:* Use when an agent needs sample or exploratory US property data without a specific address in mind, such as for testing, dataset sampling, or discovering representative property records across the RentCast database. *Not for:* Do not use when looking up a specific property by address or ID; use a property lookup endpoint instead. Not suitable for real-time MLS listings or rental availability. **Returns:** Returns a JSON array of randomly selected property records, each containing address details, coordinates, property type, bedroom/bathroom counts, square footage, tax assessments by year, property tax totals, sale history, physical features, and owner information. **Example:** `GET https://rentcast.x402.paysponge.com/properties/random` --- ### `fetch-sale-listings` **Sale Listings API** — Returns an array of real estate properties currently listed for sale, including price, address, property details, listing agent, and price history. *Use when:* Use when an agent needs to retrieve active for-sale property listings with full details such as price, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, lot size, HOA fees, days on market, MLS info, and listing agent contact information. *Not for:* Do not use for rental listings; use a rental listings endpoint instead.
