Endpoints

Filtering

Most of the endpoints on the Houski API allow you to filter the data returned by the API, by virtually any field. You can also filter properties geographically by specifying a bounding box, or polygon (scroll down on this page for examples).

Filtering is performed by adding query parameters to the request URL. For example, to filter the properties returned by the properties endpoint by the number of full bathrooms, you could do any of the following:

Filter	Name	Example
Greater than	gt	bathroom_full_gt=3
Greater than or equal to	gte	bathroom_full_gte=3
Less than	lt	bathroom_full_lt=3
Less than or equal to	lte	bathroom_full_lte=3
Equal to	eq	bathroom_full_eq=3
Not equal to	neq	bathroom_full_neq=3
In the given list	in	property_type_in=House,Apartment
Matches a regular expression	regex	bathroom_full_regex=1\|3
Does not match a regular expression	nregex	bathroom_full_nregex=1\|3

Filtering by a bounding box

A bounding box is a rectangular geographic region defined by two points: the northeast and southwest corners. The northeast corner is defined by the latitude and longitude of the top right corner of the box, and the southwest corner is defined by the latitude and longitude of the bottom left corner of the box. These bounding box parameters can be used to filter requests. When used, requests will only include the properties that are located within the bounding box.

Filtering by a polygon

A polygon is a geometric shape defined by a set of ordered points connected by straight lines. The polygon is defined by a set of latitude and longitude coordinates that create an arbitrary shape. When using the polygon parameter in a request, only properties within the polygon will be returned. The polygon parameter requires a string of latitude-longitude pairs that are separated by underscores, with each pair separated by a comma.
