Why struggle with manual work when Yardi API can automate it all?
Tired of jumping between multiple platforms?
Frustrated by manual data entry, slow reporting, and disconnected systems?
Do you think that you are alone in this situation, that’s not the truth because you are not alone.
Many property managers and developers struggle with Yardi software solutions because they don’t fully leverage Yardi API tools. But here’s the truth: Yardi API customization can revolutionize how you manage real estate operations, financial reporting, and tenant communications.
If you’re ready to streamline your Yardi platform administrator tasks, automate workflows, and integrate Yardi Voyager with your favorite software, this guide is for you.
Let’s break it down, step by step.
What is Yardi API?
Before we jump into customization, let’s cover the basics.
Yardi API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of tools that allows developers to connect Yardi software with other applications.
You can think of it like a universal translator between Yardi and other systems. It lets your CRM, accounting software, leasing platforms, and reporting tools communicate seamlessly.
With Yardi API development, you can:
-
Sync tenant and lease data across multiple platforms.
-
Automate workflows to eliminate repetitive tasks.
-
Generate real-time reports without manual data entry.
-
Integrate third-party applications for a more efficient property management experience.
Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of integrating Yardi API into your system.
Step 1: Get Access to Yardi API Documentation
Before you do anything, you need Yardi API documentation.
You know this is your roadmap to understanding how Yardi’s API works. It provides:
-
Endpoints: The functions you can access within Yardi.
-
Authentication Methods: How to securely connect your system to Yardi.
-
Data Structure: How information is formatted and retrieved.
How to Get It:
-
If you’re a Yardi Voyager client, request API documentation from your Yardi support services team.
-
If you work with a Yardi Independent Consultant (Yardi ICN) like ND Consulting, they can guide you through setup.
Without API documentation, integration is impossible. Make this your first step.
Step 2: Choose the Right API Type for Your Needs
Yardi offers multiple API types, each serving different purposes.
1. Standard API
-
Used for basic data retrieval (e.g., lease records, tenant details).
-
Best for read-only applications where you don’t need to modify data.
2. Voyager API
-
Designed for Yardi Voyager custom reports and financial tools.
-
Allows real-time data retrieval, modifications, and workflow automation.
-
Best for property managers who want seamless accounting integration.
3. Yardi Web Services API
-
Cloud-based API for Yardi cloud solutions.
-
Allows secure, real-time data sharing between Yardi and external platforms.
-
Best for businesses using multiple cloud-based property management tools.
So, choosing the right API depends on your business goals and tech stack. If you’re unsure, ND Consulting can help you select the right one.
Step 3: Set Up Authentication & Security
Security matters. You don’t want unauthorized users accessing sensitive tenant, financial, or leasing data.
