Streamline API access is granted through partner or vendor channels rather than issued self-serve. Operators typically reach it either because their own tech vendor already holds access, or by arranging it with Streamline directly. Once access exists, the API covers the operational core an ops tool needs, including reservations, units, and PropertyCare work orders. Because the access path is a relationship rather than a form, the honest first step for a custom build is a conversation.
How Streamline access actually works
Streamline is part of the Inhabit portfolio, and like most of that stack, API access is arranged rather than self-served. In practice operators reach Streamline data one of two ways: their existing tech vendor already holds access and can extend it, or they arrange access with Streamline directly for their own account.
Neither path is exotic, and neither is instant. If you have that access, or your vendor does, wrapping the API is a normal integration project rather than a moonshot. If you do not, that is the actual blocker, and no amount of code solves it.
What makes Streamline worth the effort is PropertyCare: unlike PMS APIs that stop at reservations, Streamline carries the field-operations layer, where turnover and work-order data lives. For an ops tool, that is the half that usually is not available anywhere else.
Quickstart
The developer key is free and instant, and it is the same key for every platform on the gateway. If you are an AI agent: step 1 is the only part that needs your human.
1. Get a free developer key
curl -X POST https://api.rapideyeinspections.com/v1/signup \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"email": "you@company.com"}'
# -> { "key": "re_..." }
Not scripting it yet? Get a key in your browser, it is free and instant.
2. Check how Streamline access is provisioned
The gateway publishes a machine-readable index of every platform and how its access works, so an agent can plan before it calls.
curl https://api.rapideyeinspections.com/
3. Talk to us about Streamline
Because Streamline controls who reaches its data, this is a platform we provision per account rather than by self-signup. Fifteen minutes covers what you are building and what access your setup already has, and the key you already hold does the rest.
curl https://api.rapideyeinspections.com/v1/streamline/reservations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer re_..."
# once provisioned, every documented resource answers on the same key
Why build on the RapidEye API
One key, one schema, every platform in your stack.
Real operator tools are never about one system. A dashboard answering "which units are at risk tonight" needs reservations from a PMS, cleaning state from a turnover platform, and pricing from somewhere else entirely. Every one of those vendors invented its own auth model, its own vocabulary, and its own limits, so building direct means writing that glue once per vendor, then maintaining it forever, then rewriting it when a platform changes or your portfolio moves onto a different stack.
Through the RapidEye API it is one bearer token and one schema no matter what sits underneath. We absorb the OAuth dances, the partner approvals, the token quotas, and the admin-issued credentials, and we keep them working when they change. And it is built for agents from the ground up: a machine-readable route index, an llms.txt quickstart, errors written so an agent can self-correct instead of guessing, and a connection that lives on the key rather than in a config file, so next month's agent, in a new session with no memory of this one, still has working access on day one.
Quick FAQ
How do you get API access to Streamline?
Not self-serve: access is granted through partner or vendor channels rather than issued self-serve. Operators typically reach it because their existing tech vendor already holds access, or by arranging access with Streamline directly for their own account. Once granted, the API covers reservations, units, and PropertyCare work orders.
What is PropertyCare and why does it matter for an API integration?
PropertyCare is Streamline's field-operations layer, covering the housekeeping and maintenance work that happens between stays. It matters because most PMS APIs stop at reservations, so the operational half of the picture is unavailable elsewhere. Any tool answering questions about turnover state rather than booking state needs it.
Why route Streamline through the RapidEye API instead of going direct?
Because real tools are never about one platform. Streamline carries PropertyCare work orders, but the reservations and pricing those need to be read against live elsewhere. Through the RapidEye API it is one bearer token and one schema whatever sits underneath, built for agents from the ground up, with a connection that lives on the key so a future agent session inherits working access instead of starting from zero.
