# Get Market History

> Daily time series of the market-snapshot aggregates (median rent/price,
inventory, average days-on-market, concession rate) for an area. The
series accrues forward from when archiving began, so it is sparse until
enough days accumulate. Pass `bedrooms` to scope to one unit size, or
omit it to get every bedroom bucket per day.

**Tier:** Free+




## OpenAPI

````yaml GET /market/rentals/history
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Borough API
  description: >
    NYC Real Estate Data API: structured access to rental and sale listings,

    building details, neighborhood data, and market statistics.


    ## Authentication


    All authenticated endpoints require a `Bearer` token in the `Authorization`
    header:

    ```

    Authorization: Bearer BOROUGH-<your-license-key>

    ```


    License keys are provisioned automatically when you subscribe via

    [Polar.sh](https://polar.sh/qwady-solutions-llc/portal). Free-tier endpoints

    (search, areas, market, and photos) work without authentication but are
    tracked per IP and subject to

    IP-based rate limits of 10 requests per minute. The health check endpoint
    remains fully public.


    ## Rate Limits


    | Tier     | Requests/min | Requests/month | Max perPage |

    |----------|-------------|----------------|-------------|

    | Free     | 10          | 100            | 10          |

    | Starter  | 30          | 5,000          | 50          |

    | Pro      | 60          | 25,000         | 500         |

    | Business | 120         | 100,000        | 500         |


    Tiered API responses include the `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-Quota-*`
    headers,

    plus an `X-Request-Id` header (UUID v4) for request tracing and debugging.

    Note that 429 responses additionally carry a `Retry-After` header and an

    `error.retryAfter` value in the body. The health check remains fully public

    and does not carry quota headers.


    ## Data Freshness


    Freshness-aware JSON data responses include a `meta.dataAge` field (ISO

    8601) indicating when the underlying data was last scraped, and a

    `meta.source` field indicating how the data was served (`cached`, `stale`,

    or `live`).


    Public cache cadence varies by dataset: rental search refreshes every 6h,

    sale search every 8h, listing detail sweeps every 12h, buildings every 3

    days, broadband enrichment monthly, and market snapshots daily at 05:00 UTC.

    Paid tiers use freshness thresholds to trigger background refreshes when

    cached data exceeds the threshold for that route family.


    | Tier     | Search Threshold | Listing Threshold | Building Threshold |

    |----------|------------------|-------------------|--------------------|

    | Starter  | 8h               | 30min             | 6h                 |

    | Pro      | 8h               | 15min             | 3h                 |

    | Business | 8h               | 10min             | 2h                 |


    ## Photo URLs


    Listing and building responses include photo keys (32-character hex hashes).

    Use the Borough proxy for first-party image URLs:

    ```

    https://borough.qwady.app/v1/photos/{key}

    ```

    Supported sizes:

    ```

    large_800_400 (default), medium_500_250

    ```
