FAQ

What is Zumper? A large North American rental marketplace listing apartments, condos, and houses across the US and Canada. See zumper.com.

Is this affiliated with Zumper? No. This is a third-party actor reading their public listing data.

Do I need an account? No. Only publicly visible listing data is collected.

Why are prices a range rather than a single number? Many Zumper entries are whole buildings with several available units. minPrice and maxPrice bracket the units currently listed; for a single unit both values are the same. Bedrooms and bathrooms work the same way.

What's the difference between searchRentals and searchByCity? Both resolve a city to Zumper's internal location slug. searchRentals expects a city and its state code; searchByCity is more forgiving about the city name and is useful when the exact spelling or slug is uncertain.

Does it cover Canada? Yes. The state dropdown includes the Canadian provinces — pass ON, BC, QC and so on with the matching city.

Why is squareFeet missing from search results? Search returns building-level summaries where unit sizes vary. Run listingDetails on a specific listing to get its square footage.

What's the difference between amenities and buildingAmenities? amenities are in-unit features such as in-unit laundry or dishwasher. buildingAmenities are shared facilities such as a gym, roof deck, or parking garage.

Are contact details always present? No. phone, agentName, and brokerageName appear when the advertiser publishes them; private landlords often route enquiries through Zumper instead.

How fresh is the data? Live at run time. Rental inventory turns over quickly, so re-running gives current availability and pricing.
