Excited to get going? We’ll walk you through the setup process.

Note: To take advantage of the Buildium Open API you must have a Premium Subscription.

Before you can use Buildium’s API, you’ll need to make some tweaks to your account settings.

Enabling the API

In order to start creating your keys and making requests, you’ll need to enable the API.

Tip: You’ll need an administrator user role with access to Application settings to set things up properly.

​ Let's Begin!

1. Sign in to your Buildium account from your browser.

2. Open the Settings menu and click Application settings.

3. Under System preferences, click Api settings. A modal will appear.

4. Click the Open API toggle to turn it on. Then click Save.

Congratulations! Your account's enabled. Now, you’re ready to start managing API keys.

If you are having issues enabling the API within your account you can submit a Support request for assistance.

Account-level API keys authenticate every request and keep things secure.

API keys have two components: a “client ID” and a “secret”.

• Client IDs are similar to usernames. They’re used to identify your Buildium account and are safe to share.
• Secrets are similar to passwords. They must be kept confidential.

Whenever you make a request, you’ll need the API key’s client ID and secret. If you forget it, make a mistake, or try to use information that’s linked to a deleted key, the API will return a 401 response code.

Tip: We compiled a list of best practices that detail how securely store API keys. Give it a read!

Now that the Open APi is enabled, you’ll be able to create API keys. You’re almost there!

Tip: You’ll need an administrator user role to complete this step, too.

How to create an API key

1. Sign in to your Buildium account from your browser.

2. Open the Settings menu and click Developer Tools. The page will open automatically.

3. Click the Create API Key button. A modal will appear.

4. Enter a clear, memorable name and description for your API key. It’ll make it easier to locate the right key when you make a request. Once finished, click Next.

5. Now, choose which pieces of Buildium data you want this API key to have access to by marking the corresponding checkboxes. Once finished, click Next.

6. You successfully created an API key!

Important: This is your only chance to record the secret. Make sure it’s stored somewhere secure! If it’s forgotten, you’ll need to delete this key and start from scratch.

You have now successfully created an API key and have everything you need to send requests to the Buildium API!

Before moving on to making your first request please review Keeping your Keys Safe for an overview on securely storing your API keys.

If you are having issues creating API keys you can submit a Support request for assistance.

Based on their permissions, API keys could have full access to your account’s Buildium data. It’s important that you only grant access to trusted applications, securely record secrets, and consider a password manager to stay organized.

Recommended Practices

• Avoid hard-coding client IDs and secrets inside source files.
• Avoid storing client IDs and secrets in any files that may be committed to source control, particularly cloud-based source control platforms.
• Apply restrictions to client IDs and secrets shared with your staff. You can restrict a key to particular Buildium entities or to read-only access (GET resources only).
• Avoid sharing client IDs and secrets across public, insecure platforms.
• Establish a process to regularly recreate your client IDs and secrets from your Buildium account.
  
  

You’ve done a great job setting up your account, Now, we’ll walk you through how to access your data. It’s very straightforward and should only take a few minutes!

Tip: Looking for the right HTTP client? If you’re just getting started, we recommend Postman.

Let's Get Started!

Step 1: Get Your API Key

If you haven't yet done so, obtain your API key client ID and secret from your Buildium account. Your API key is how the Buildium API authenticates requests and ensures only you can access your data.

See Getting Started for a deeper dive into enabling the API and creating keys.

Step 2: Install a HTTP client

The Buildium API supports any standard HTTP client. If you're looking for a user-friendly HTTP client application, we recommend Postman – it allows you to access the Buildium API without writing code. We’ll use Postman for our example below to demonstrate sending an API request.

Step 3: Make a Sample Request

Let's dive in and make a simple request to get all the Rental Properties in your account. This will confirm your connectivity to our platform and validate the keys you created on our website. Simply follow the instructions below.

1. Open the Postman application.
2. Open the verb menu and select GET.
3. Enter the request endpoint in the field next to GET.

• Here’s the endpoint to get all rentals: https://api.buildium.com/v1/rentals.

4. To authenticate the request, enter your client ID and secret respectively in these request headers:

• x-buildium-client-id
• x-buildium-client-secret
• Your full request should look similar to the image below.

5. Review the parameters of your request on last time. Once finished, click Send.

6. If successful, you should see a JSON response and a 200 HTTP status code. Voilà! You've connected to the Buildium API.

If you've received an error response please review the JSON response message for a description of how to resolve the issue. You can also see more information about HTTP status codes in the Response Codes section. If you are still having trouble making a request after reviewing these sections please submit a Support request.

The Buildium API is built upon standard REST conventions. It's designed to use consistent resource-oriented URLs, accept and return JSON-encoded messages, and use standard HTTP status codes and verbs.

The base URL for production environment API requests is: https://api.buildium.com/

The base URL for sandbox environment API requests is: https://apisandbox.buildium.com/

In order to ensure all requests and responses are secure between the API consumer and Buildium servers, requests must be made using the https protocol. Any requests not made with the https protocol will be refused by the Buildium API platform.

Note: URL paths are case-sensitive to stay consistent with common REST standards. If your request doesn’t align with the documented URL path, you’ll receive a 404 response code reminding you of this constraint.

The Buildium API is version controlled. Versioning ensures backwards-incompatible changes to the API don’t impact any existing integrations.

Buildium uses only a major version nomenclature to manage changes. The current version of the Buildium API is version 1. By specifying a version in the resource request URL, you'll get expected responses regardless of future changes to the API. Here's an example of calling version 1 of the retrieve all rentals resource:

https://api.buildium.com/v1/rentals

Any request submitted without the version in the URL path will result in a 404 error response code.

Releasing Changes to the API

The Buildium API will continue to evolve to ensure it meets the needs of our customers. Changes will be defined as either backwards-compatible or backwards-incompatible.

We’ll always provide advance notice for all API releases–regardless of the type of modifications being made.

Backward-compatible Changes

Backward-compatible changes are modifications to the API that shouldn't impact existing integrations. They'll apply to the current version of the API. Simply put: you won’t need to change the version to consume new changes like these.

It's important as you develop against the Buildium API that you ensure these types of changes don't impact your integration. Here's are examples of backward-compatible modifications.

• Adding new API resources and/or endpoints.
• Adding new optional request parameters to existing API methods.
• Adding new properties to existing API responses and non-required properties for request messages.
• Changing property order in existing API responses.

All backward-compatible changes to the API will be documented in the Changelog.

Backwards-incompatible Changes

When backwards-incompatible changes to the API occur, a new version of the API will be released. You’ll need to update the URL path to consume resources under the new API version.

Backwards-incompatible changes include:

• Removing a property from a request and/or response message.
• Changing the name of a property in a message.
• Adding a required parameter to a request message.
• Changing existing enumeration values.

New versions of the API will have full reference documentation and an upgrade guide.

The Buildium API uses API key’s client IDs and secrets to authenticate requests.

An API key client ID and secret must be passed in every request header using the following parameters:

• x-buildium-client-id
• x-buildium-client-secret

Failing to provide both of them in the request header will cause the API to return a 401 HTTP status code.

Note: We currently do not support enabling CORS to access the Buildium API due to the security and authentication mechanisms we have in place to protect your data. Buildium supports authentication through API keys passed in the headers of a request versus a more CORS supported authentication mechanism like oAuth. Our recommendation is to access the Buildium API using server to server communication versus browser to server communication for the safest implementation.

Rate limits help us ensure consistent and reliable performance for all users, even during peak loads. That’s why we limit clients to 10 concurrent requests per second.

If your request rate violates that limit, a response code of 429 is returned. Simply retry the request after a short interval (~200ms).

The query string for a request is limited to a maximum length of 4096 characters. If the query string exceeds this length, the API will return a 500 HTTP status code.

All top-level API resources support bulk fetches. For instance, you can retrieve all Associations. These resources also allow for filtering criteria. Each resource has descriptions of the filter criteria available.

In addition to filtering, our API gives you the ability to control the returned data’s pagination and the sort order.

Pagination

Endpoints that return result sets allow for pagination using limit and offset request parameters to reduce the amount of data returned.

The limit request parameter will cap the number of results that come back in the response. If you don't specify a limit value, a default of 50 results are returned. The maximum limit value is 1000. If a limit value is specified greater than 1000, it will be overridden to the default to 1000.

The offset request parameter indicates the record position within the resultset to start at when returning the results. The offset is zero-based and is inclusive. If no offset value is submitted it will default to 0.

The total resultset count is returned in the HTTP Header X-Total-Count

Pagination Example

As an example, let's say we make a request to retrieve all rental properties with no paging parameters. Our response indicates in the X-Total-Count header that there are 150 total rental properties. We want to get only the last 50 results so we would submit a request with the offset set to 100 and the limit set to 50.

Note: The limit and offset parameter names are case-sensitive. If they aren't formatted correctly, the API will return a 404 HTTP status code.

Sorting Results

You can specify the sort order of returned data by assigning any property from the returned object to the orderby parameter in the querystring. For example:

orderby=LeaseType

By default, the sort is performed in ascending order. To specify sort order, use "asc" for ascending or "desc" for descending. For example:

orderby=LeaseType desc

Additionally, you can sort by multiple properties by comma separating the properties. For example:

orderby=Rent desc,City asc

In order to avoid potentially getting inconsistent results or missing data when paging, you must sort on a unique property such as Id. If sorting by properties that may not be unique such as Date or Name, a secondary sort on a unique property is necessary to preserve sort order between pages. An example of sorting this way would be:

orderby=Date desc,Id asc

Note: While the orderby parameter is case-sensitive, the properties specified in the orderby value aren't.

The Buildium API supports standard HTTP status codes.

To assist your development efforts Buildium offers a free Sandbox account with your Premium subscription. A sandbox is a development environment that is separate from your production account. Sandboxes duplicate much of the same property management functionality available in your production account and all of the resources available in the Open API. The benefit of the sandbox is that it's isolated from your primary account. This separation ensures that API operations you perform against the sandbox account during development of your integration do not corrupt the data in your production account.

To help you hit the ground running with your development efforts sandbox accounts are provisioned with realistic sample data. This ensures you have data to work with immediately and won’t have to spend time doing data entry. You always have the ability to add more data through the application and the Buildium Open API.

To create a sandbox account follow the steps below.

1. Sign in to your Buildium account from your browser.

2. Open the Settings menu and click Developer Tools.

3. Click the API Sandbox tab.

4. Click the Create sandbox button. A modal will appear.

5. Enter the name and email of the person that will be administering the sandbox account. When the sandbox creation process has completed an email will be sent to the email address submitted. This email will provide a link to the sandbox. After all fields have been filled out, click Create.

6. The provisioning process will now execute. It can take 2 - 3 minutes for the sandbox to be created. The page will automatically refresh with the provisioning status. When it completes you will see the sandbox status is Active along with details about the sandbox including the URL to the account. You can browse back to this page at any time if you need to look up the URL to the sandbox.

   
   

7. Once the sandbox has been created an email will be sent to the address you entered in the "Create sandbox" modal. To complete the activation of the sandbox open the email and click on the "Activate Account". This will allow you to create a password for your account and log into the sandbox.

8. You are now ready to begin making API requests to your sandbox! Please see Accessing the Sandbox for next steps on how to start making API requests.

Once your sandbox is created you can begin to access it through the Open API. Requests are made following all the same versioning, authentication, messages, etc that are used in the production environment with the exception of the base URL. The base URL for the sandbox is:
https://apisandbox.buildium.com/

You can read more about connecting to the API in the API Overview section.

Once you have completed your development and testing against the sandbox and you're ready to start using the integration in your production account simply change the base URL in your integration to the production API URL.

The core Buildium functionality is available in the sandbox environment, however there are some restrictions which include:

1. Add-on services, ePay and other paid services will not be available.
2. A maximum of 1500 units (rentals and associations) can be created within the sandbox.
3. A maximum of 50 rental tenants per lease can be created within the sandbox.
4. Communication emails will not be sent out. This protects you from inadvertently sending emails to your test accounts.

How many sandboxes can I create?

The Premium subscription plan allows you to create one sandbox.

Can I use my production keys to access my sandbox?

No. To ensure you are accessing the correct environment the API keys are restricted to the environment they were created in.

What is the throttle limit on requests to the sandbox?

A sandbox account is limited to 10 concurrent requests per second.

Can I reset sandbox data to its original state?

Resetting sandbox data is not supported at this time.

Can I delete a sandbox?

You cannot delete a sandbox at this time. Closing your account or changing subscription plans will delete your sandbox and it will be no longer accessible.

Can I delete the sandbox data?

Yes, you can manually delete records by logging into the web application.

Why do I see an error when I try to access add-on functionality like ePayments?

Certain functionality is restricted in the sandbox environment. Please see Sandbox Account Restrictions for an overview of these limitations.

Buildium webhooks allow your remote applications to listen for events within your Buildium account and react to those events in near real-time!

To implement webhooks you need to register a callback URL to your web server for the events you want to capture. Then Builidum will send notifications to that URL when the events occur making syncing data and automating workflows a breeze.

As an example, let’s say you’ve registered a callback to your application to receive “Lease Created” events. When a user within your Buildium account creates a new lease then a webhook callback from Buildium informs your app about this new lease. After your application receives the event it can then execute actions such as creating tasks to clean the apartment and change the locks.

Another advantage of using webhooks is that they allow your applications to respond to events in Buildium in near real time. Having events pushed to your platform as they happen is like calling the API every second to ask “Was a lease created”?

The diagram below illustrates how your application would integrate with Buildium webhooks.

Event notifications are Buildium’s way of letting you know when something interesting happens in your account. When a subscribed event occurs a new Event object is created and sent to your endpoint as part of a HTTPS POST request.

Event objects are simple data structures with fields that describe the entity and the event that occurred. The object will have the following fields:

Here is an example of an Event object, serialized as JSON, when a rental property has been updated:

{
"EventName": "Rental.Updated",
"EventDateTime": "2022-05-10T15:12:46.2317653Z",
"AccountId": 123456,
"PropertyId": 23
}

Note that the EventName is a constant value that can be used to determine the entity and the operation that triggered the event. This value is concatenation of the entity name and operation separated by a period. For example, if a rental property was updated the EventName value would be: Rental.Updated.

The event identifiers included in the Event object will provide the data necessary to query the Buildium Open API and retrieve the full entity.

The Webhook Events section below lists all of the available entities and their corresponding events that can be subscribed to. The grid also includes the EventName constants and sample JSON for each entity.

To take advantage of webhooks you’ll need to establish an endpoint that our Buildium servers can make a request to whenever the data you’re interested in changes. You can use one endpoint to handle several different event types at once or set up individual endpoints for specific events.

Your endpoint must be implemented to support the following:

• HTTPS protocol
• Be publicly available
• POST requests that consist of a JSON formatted payload sent as raw body type and a Content-Type of application/json.

When receiving webhook callbacks it is important that your endpoint responds promptly. If Buildium doesn’t receive a response within 10 seconds the callback is considered unsuccessful. As a best practice your endpoint should return a response prior to executing any complex logic to ensure a response within the 10 second duration. Any HTTP response code from your endpoint other than a 2XX is also considered an unsuccessful request. Buildium will retry unsuccessful events on the following intervals:

1. 1 minute
2. 10 minutes
3. 1 hour

If a callback for an event is unsuccessful after all three attempts Buildium will stop attempting to send the event message.

The webhook subscription will be suspended if there 20 consecutive failed attempts to send events to the URL. Upon suspension an email will be sent notifying you that the subscription has been paused. You can troubleshoot issues and enable the webhook by browsing to Settings > Developer Tools > Webhooks. The email is sent to the contact email address that is set when the webhook subscription is created or updated.

As you develop the callback endpoint you can use the JSON examples found in the webhook event grid to generate the mock payloads for testing. Once you are able to successfully receive the event callback you should implement a signature check to ensure the authenticity of of the request.

Signature Checks

It is strongly recommended that you validate webhook event signatures in your application to ensure that the request came from Buildium and not a bad actor attempting to impersonate Buildium, alter event messages after they have been sent, or perform replay attacks. While validating the request isn’t required to read the payload, it is strongly recommended to ensure the authenticity of the request and ensure the overall security and data integrity of your application.

All webhook callback requests include the signature and a timestamp in the HTTP headers.

The signature is a concatenation of the timestamp value and the event message hashed by a secret key. The secret key is generated for you when creating webhook subscriptions. It is important to keep this key stored safely as you would with any other credentials.

The following steps outline how to use the secret key, the event message and the HTTP header values to verify the request:

1. Concatenate the value of the buildium-webhook-timestamp header with the body of the event with a period character in between the two values. The body of the event must have all newlines removed and not contain spaces after the colon between property names and values. For example

   {
     "EventName": "Rental.Created",
     "EventDateTime": "2022-12-22T16:18:20.876772Z",
     "AccountId": 123456,
     "PropertyId": 78910
   }
   

   would be passed into your verification method as:

   {"EventName":"Rental.Created","EventDateTime":"2022-12-22T16:18:20.876772Z","AccountId":123456,"PropertyId":78910}
   

2. Hash the concatenated string using the HMACSHA256 algorithm setting the webhook secret key as the algorithm key.
3. Convert the resulting hash bytes to a base64 string.
4. Compare the base64 string to the value of the buildium-webhook-signature header. If the values match with a case sensitive comparison, the message has been validated to have come from Buildium.

Sample Validation Code (C#)

private static bool ClientSideValidate(
string eventNotificationMessage, 
string timestamp, 
string signature)
{
   var signedPayload = $"{timestamp}.{eventNotificationMessage}";
   var hasher = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(m_secretKey));
   var computedHash = hasher.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(signedPayload));
   var computedHashString = Convert.ToBase64String(computedHash);

   return computedHashString.Equals(signature);
}

Once you’ve successfully validated the message you can begin to process it with confidence it came from the Buildium platform and has not been altered after it has been sent.

To test your validation logic you can generate requests to your URL with headers you generate using the similar logic you created for validating the values.

Once your endpoint is ready to be tested end to end you will need to create a webhook subscription in your Buildium account. The subscription can be created by browsing to Settings > Developer Tools > Webhooks and then clicking the “Add webhook” button.

Once you’ve configured a new webhook, events will be sent to your endpoint as they are triggered within the account. So all you have to do is execute the action you want to test. You can expect webhook callbacks to your endpoint to fire within a few seconds to a few minutes from the event occurring in the Buildium platform. To determine if the events have been sent and/or see the resulting response from your platform you can view the webhook subscription event history page.

We strongly suggest you test your webhooks in your Buildium API sandbox account to ensure you don’t corrupt data in your production account. Once the integration is fully tested you can register the webhook in your production account.

NOTE: Due to our current security policies we do not support webhook callbacks to the Ngrok platform. We understand Ngrok can be useful for testing local webhook development and we hope to be able to support that platform safely and securely soon. In the meantime, we recommend using other websites and tools that can capture the webhook event HTTP request payload and headers and replay it manually on your local machine with a tool such as Postman.

• Be sure to validate the signature on all incoming requests and consider rolling your secret keys on a regular basis. A new secret key can be generated by clicking the "Generate key" link next to the current secret key value when updating the webhook subscription.
• Your webhook endpoints should be configured to receive only the types of events required by your integration. Listening for extra events (or all events) will put undue strain on your server and is not recommended.
• Be sure your platform can handle duplicate events correctly. We do our best to ensure an event is only sent one time, but due to the distributed nature of the process we can not make any guarantees. We advise you to guard against duplicated event receipts by making your event processing idempotent. One way of doing this is logging the events you’ve processed, and then not processing already-logged events.
• Buildium does not guarantee delivery of events in the order in which they are generated within the platform. For example, creating a lease might generate the following events - Lease.Created, Tenant.Created. Your endpoint shouldn’t expect delivery of these events in this order and should handle this accordingly. You can use the API to fetch any missing data. For example, you can fetch the lease resource using the information from tenant if you happen to receive that event first.

The grid below details the available webhooks events along with their EventName and JSON message schema.
