Get delinquent tenants from the Delinquency report. 2. Keep the tenants whose last payment date is more than 30 days before today. 3.

List open work orders in your AppFolio database. 2. Keep the work orders that are new or whose status or vendor changed since the last run. 3. Post each one, with property, unit, job description, vendor, status and scheduled start, to your Slack webhook. ### Month-start rent roll, handed to your reporting system Starts: Monthly on the 1st at 6:00 1. Get the rent roll for every property as of the last day of the previous month. 2. Have an AI step total units, vacant units, rent and past due per property. 3. Post the rows and the totals to your data warehouse webhook. You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month. ## Once built, one call from your code Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get the rent roll” would look like. Example request: ``` curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "method": "account.appfolio.com/get_rent_roll", "input": { "property": "Northwind Lofts", "as_of": "2026-10-31" } }' ``` Example response: ``` { "status": "completed", "data": { "property": "Northwind Lofts", "as_of": "2026-10-31", "units": [ { "unit": "101", "tenant": "Acme Holdings LLC", "status": "Occupied", "rent": 1850, "lease_from": "2025-12-01", "lease_to": "2026-11-30", "past_due": 0 } ], "count": 1 } } ``` An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request. ## AppFolio’s own options AppFolio includes its own API on two plans: read only on Plus, from $3.20 per unit a month, and read/write on Max, from $5.00 per unit a month, each with a minimum spend and unit minimum.

You can be remembered for 30 days. With Fous you sign in once through AppFolio's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256. ## Worth knowing - **One login, several databases**: With AppFolio's unified account, one email and password reach every database you have access to, listed after you sign in. Name the database a method should read when you describe it. - **Financial access verifies every time**: Users who can see sensitive financial information are asked to verify by text message at every sign-in, even with the 30-day remember option. Email is not accepted as a second step. - **API rights are set per plan and per endpoint**: Plus gets read-only API access and Max read/write. Credentials are generated under General Settings, Manage API Settings, by a user with the System Administrator role. - **Reports can be scheduled as CSV**: Reports such as the Rent Roll have a Schedule option under Actions with CSV as a format. Customize adds or removes a report's columns, so set the columns you need before you build on a report. ## More in Real estate: property management and listings - [レインズ](https://fous.com/automate/reins.md) - [HomeWiseDocs](https://fous.com/automate/homewisedocs.md) - [Bright MLS](https://fous.com/automate/bright-mls.md) - [CRMLS](https://fous.com/automate/crmls.md) - [Flexmls](https://fous.com/automate/flexmls.md) - [Matrix](https://fous.com/automate/matrix.md) - [Paragon MLS](https://fous.com/automate/paragon-mls.md) - [Ignite](https://fous.com/automate/ignite.md) - [PF Expert](https://fous.com/automate/pf-expert.md) - [Rightmove Plus](https://fous.com/automate/rightmove-plus.md) - [ZooplaPro](https://fous.com/automate/zooplapro.md) - [Buildium](https://fous.com/automate/buildium.md) - [Entrata](https://fous.com/automate/entrata.md) - [PropertyMe](https://fous.com/automate/propertyme.md) - [Yardi Voyager](https://fous.com/automate/yardi-voyager.md) - [Rental Bonds Online](https://fous.com/automate/rental-bonds-online.md) - [RTBA Online](https://fous.com/automate/rtba-online.md) - [ShowingTime](https://fous.com/automate/showingtime.md) - [Deposit Protection Service](https://fous.com/automate/deposit-protection-service.md) - [Tenancy Deposit Scheme](https://fous.com/automate/tenancy-deposit-scheme.md) Other industries: [Bushel](/automate/bushel), [Scintilla](/automate/scintilla), [Asda Supplier Portal](/automate/asda-supplier-portal), [AT&T Premier](/automate/at-and-t-premier), [GC ONLINE PLUS](/automate/gc-online-plus), [Coupa Supplier Portal](/automate/coupa-supplier-portal). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does AppFolio Property Manager have an API? Yes, on the Plus and Max plans. AppFolio's pricing lists the AppFolio API as read only on Plus, from $3.20 per unit a month, and read/write on Max, from $5.00, each with a minimum spend and unit minimum. Core lists no API. Software vendors apply to the AppFolio Stack partner program. ### Is there an AppFolio API on the Core plan? Not according to AppFolio's pricing page, which lists the AppFolio API only on Plus and Max. On Core you work with the reports in AppFolio itself. With Fous, a method you build reads a report through your own sign-in and returns it as JSON, on whatever plan your account is on. ### What data does the AppFolio API cover? AppFolio's endpoint catalog covers accounting (bills, charges, ledgers, general ledger accounts), properties and units, residents and owners, leasing (leads, listings, rental applications, showings), maintenance (work orders, vendors) and community association records such as homeowners and violations. ### Who can create AppFolio API credentials? A user with the System Administrator role, from General Settings and then Manage API Settings, where Generate New Credentials creates them. Your plan decides whether those credentials can read only or also write. ### Is Fous affiliated with AppFolio? No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own AppFolio Property Manager account, and a method reads and does only what that account can. Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of AppFolio Property Manager (AppFolio).
