Get a building
This endpoint retrieves the full detail record of an existing building.
Integrators call it to look up a single standalone rentable object, such as a row house, before displaying, syncing, or updating its data in an external system.
The building can be identified by its internal reference, its external identifier, or both.
Request Fields
Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
reference | string | Conditional | Internal identifier of the building. Either reference or externalIdentifier must be provided. If both are given, the building must match both values. |
externalIdentifier | string | Conditional | External identifier of the building, as set by the integrating system. Either reference or externalIdentifier must be provided. If both are given, the building must match both values. |
