Rent Roll Extraction API
One HTTP call: rent roll in, verified structured JSON out. Built for lending platforms, underwriting tools, and CRE data pipelines — self-serve from $49/month, no sales call.
The request
curl -X POST "https://rentrollapi.com/v1/extract?format=json" \
-H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
-F "file=@rent-roll.pdf"Accepts PDF (native or scanned), Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and HTML. Send ?format=xlsx or ?format=csv to get a spreadsheet back instead of JSON.
The response: a canonical rent roll schema
Every document — whether it came from Yardi, RealPage, AppFolio, or a scanned printout — comes back in the same shape, so your downstream code never changes:

}Why verification matters in an extraction API
Generic document-AI APIs return extracted values with an accuracy claim and leave reconciliation to you. That is disqualifying in underwriting: one silently wrong rent figure in a 200-unit roll and the NOI is wrong.
RentRollAPI runs a deterministic verification pass on every document:
- Totals reconciled — rent totals are recomputed from extracted units and compared against the totals stated on the document itself.
- Counts cross-checked — extracted unit count vs. the document's stated count.
- Flagged, never guessed — any field that cannot be verified is flagged with a confidence score. You decide what to trust.
The methodology and per-document results are public: accuracy benchmark on real SEC-filed rent rolls.
Errors you can build against
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
200 | Extraction succeeded; verification report included |
400 | Missing/empty file or unknown format parameter |
401 | Invalid or revoked API key |
422 | Document is corrupt, password-protected, or not a supported format |
429 | Monthly quota exceeded and no prepaid credits remain |
Pricing without a sales call
Most rent-roll tools either gate their API behind $7,000+/year plans or require an enterprise demo. RentRollAPI is self-serve: $49/mo for 50 documents, $199/mo for 300, or a $37.50 pay-as-you-go 25-doc pack — all with full API access. Documents are never retained after processing.
