Dutch Real Estate Vector Search API — Funda, Vastgoed Nederland & Huispedia listings, AI semantic search

Semantic vector search over Dutch property listings (Funda, Vastgoed Nederland, Huispedia, and more), served as a drop-in Qdrant-compatible API. Point the official qdrant-client at this endpoint, send a query vector, and get back the most similar woningen — ranked by meaning, not keywords. Built for developers shipping AI property search, RAG, and recommendation features over the Netherlands housing market.

Powered by Househugger. Same infrastructure that runs in production — this is a hosted, production endpoint you can call today.

What you get

• Semantic / vector search over Dutch real estate listings — embeddings-based similarity, so "licht appartement met tuin bij het water" matches on intent, not exact words.
• Qdrant-native — use the real qdrant-client (Python/JS/Rust) unchanged. No new SDK to learn. search, query, scroll, retrieve-by-id all supported.
• Scoped & safe — every request is filtered to exactly the data slice your key is entitled to. You can narrow further; you can never see another tenant's data.
• Fast, read-optimized — a thin proxy over a managed Qdrant Cloud collection.

Use cases

• AI-powered property search & discovery for a portal or app
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) over housing data for an LLM assistant
• "Similar homes" / recommendation engines
• Lead enrichment and market analysis over Funda / Vastgoed Nederland listings

How to call it

This runs in Standby mode — a always-on HTTP server, not a batch job. Authenticate with your API key and use qdrant-client as usual:

from qdrant_client import QdrantClient

client = QdrantClient(
    url="https://vectorapi.househugger.nl",
    api_key="<your-househugger-key>",   # sent as the api-key header
)

hits = client.query_points(
    collection_name="vectors",
    query=my_query_vector,   # bring your own embedding
    limit=10,
).points

You bring the query vector (embed with any model you like); the API returns scoped, ranked matches. Writes and admin calls are rejected — this endpoint is read-only by design.

Get access

You need a Househugger API key. It's the real gate — calls without a valid key return 401.

Pick a plan, self-serve a key, and start querying in minutes.

Notes

• Does: forward semantic reads (search / query / scroll / retrieve-by-id) with your entitlement enforced on every filter and prefetch.
• Does not: embed text for you, ingest, upsert, or expose data outside your slice.
