Tip of the Week #30: Guide to Rentvine's Open API

 

Unlock custom workflows with Rentvine's open API

At Rentvine, flexibility and customization are key. In this week’s Rentvine Academy video, Sales Engineer Cristian Torres walks through how to use Rentvine's open API to create integrations, automate workflows, and build custom solutions that connect directly to your property management data.

What’s new in system customization

1. Generate API keys directly inside Rentvine

Rentvine provides API access through Global Settings under User Roles and API. From there, you can generate a new API key for a specific user. Each key can be labeled clearly so you know what it is being used for.

When creating the key, you assign it a role. Think of it like adding another user to your system. If you want to limit access to certain data, you can assign a restricted role. If you want full system access, you can assign the admin role.

Once saved, Rentvine generates both an API key and API secret. These credentials allow the connected system to securely interact with your Rentvine environment.

2. Control access and permissions

One of the most powerful aspects of the Rentvine API is permission control. Because API keys are tied to roles, you can decide exactly what level of access a third party receives.

You can update the key name, change the assigned role, regenerate the secret, associate it with a pod if your account uses pods, or delete the key entirely. This keeps your system secure while allowing customization.

3. Build custom integrations

The Rentvine API is fully open and included in your subscription. There are no usage restrictions or additional charges for access.

This means you can:

  • Extract data to build your own dashboard outside of Rentvine

  • Upload information such as receipts in bulk

  • Connect third party software directly to your account

  • Automate reporting and tracking workflows

Anything you see inside Rentvine is accessible through the API. That level of openness allows property management companies to build workflows that match their exact business model.

Why it matters

Many property management platforms restrict API access or charge additional fees for it. Rentvine does not.

With a fully open API, your team can innovate, integrate, and customize without limitations. Whether you are working with a third party developer or building internal tools, Rentvine gives you the access needed to scale.
