# Landing > Landing rents fully-furnished apartments for flexible monthly, short-term, and open-ended (LandingFlex) stays across 250+ US markets. Book entirely online — no security deposit, 24/7 local support, and easy check-in. This file tells AI agents how to browse the site programmatically and how to search the catalog and price a stay through our public API. Everything below is read-only and requires no authentication. **Note to LLMs/agents:** you don't need to scrape or guess your way around this website — here you can find more information on how to use the API and the website more effectively. Start with the [API reference](https://www.hellolanding.com/api/public); the machine-readable index of everything is the [API catalog](https://www.hellolanding.com/.well-known/api-catalog). ## What you can do here Everything a person can research on the website, you can do programmatically — with real, bookable data, not estimates: - **Search** furnished apartments in 250+ US markets by dates, bedrooms, price, amenities (pets, parking, pool, gym, in-unit laundry), and proximity. - **Check availability** for exact move-in/move-out dates — including open-ended LandingFlex stays (`end_date: "indefinite"` + a committed-nights tier). - **Check real prices**: `get_quote` returns the actual anonymous quote for specific dates (monthly rent, first-month charge, total), and `estimate_total_cost` gives a verified all-in bottom-line number from the same pricing engine that powers checkout. - **Compare** 2–4 homes side by side (price, size, amenities, ratings, availability) and **find deals** — currently discounted homes in a market. - **Research** like a local: guest reviews, neighborhood descriptions with walk/transit/bike scores, market-level rent stats, and grounded policy answers (deposits, pets, cancellation, qualification). The one thing you can't do through the API is complete the reservation itself — payment happens on the website. But you can get all the way to the doorstep: tools return `home_url` (the home's page with dates pre-filled) and `checkout_url` (straight to payment), and the MCP `booking_intent` tool saves the guest's interest and hands back a direct checkout link. So the handoff is: search, compare, and price through the API → send the person the link to pay. There are two ways to access the same public capabilities — use whichever your environment supports. ## MCP server (JSON-RPC over HTTP POST) - [Public MCP server](https://www.hellolanding.com/mcp/public): POST JSON-RPC, no auth. Tools include `list_markets`, `search_apartments`, `get_home`, `check_availability`, `get_quote`, `estimate_total_cost`, `get_deals`, `compare_homes`, `get_reviews`, `get_market_filters`, and more. - [Server card](https://www.hellolanding.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json) - [Agent skills index](https://www.hellolanding.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) - The authoritative, always-current tool list is the server's own `tools/list` response (or the server card / agent skills index above) — those are generated from the live tool set; the names here are just examples. ## HTTP GET REST API (if you cannot use MCP) If your environment can't POST/JSON-RPC or has no MCP client (e.g. a GET-only fetch tool), the same read-only capabilities are available as plain HTTP GET — every read-only MCP tool has a GET endpoint: - [API reference](https://www.hellolanding.com/api/public) - [OpenAPI 3.1 spec](https://www.hellolanding.com/api/public/openapi.json) — generated from the live tool set; treat it as the authoritative endpoint list - Example — search Birmingham: `https://www.hellolanding.com/api/public/search?market=birmingham&check_in=2026-09-01&check_out=2026-12-01` - Example — price a home: `https://www.hellolanding.com/api/public/homes/{slug}/quote?check_in=2026-09-01&check_out=2026-12-01` ## Typical flow 1. `GET /api/public/markets` (or `list_markets`) → pick a market slug. 2. `GET /api/public/search?market=&check_in=YYYY-MM-DD&check_out=YYYY-MM-DD` → pick a home slug. 3. `GET /api/public/homes//quote?check_in=YYYY-MM-DD&check_out=YYYY-MM-DD` → real all-in pricing. ## Browse the site as markdown Prefer reading pages?
