Housing Market API: Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-10-17

1. Who these terms are with

These terms are an agreement between Housing Market (Thailand) Co., Ltd., trading as Housing Market Group ("we", "us"), and the person or company that subscribes to the Housing Market API ("you", "the Customer").

You accept these terms at checkout, before payment. We store the version you accepted, the time, and the account and person that accepted. If you accept on behalf of a company, you confirm that you have authority to bind it.

2. Definitions

• Service: the Housing Market API at api.housingmarketapi.com, its documentation and the customer console.
• Data: everything the Service returns, including property records, images and Insights, and anything derived from it that still reproduces a substantial part of it.
• Property Data: the data returned by the listings endpoints.
• Insights: the aggregated market data returned by the Insights endpoints (Advanced tier only).
• Key: the credential issued to you, in the form hma_<prefix>_<secret>.
• Subscription: the countries (or worldwide), the tier (Standard or Advanced), the billing period and the registered IP address that you chose and paid for.
• Your Product: a website, portal, CRM, app or other software product or service that you operate yourself.
• End User: a person who uses Your Product.
• Original Images: the photographs as published on the Housing Market portals.
• Delivered Images: the watermarked copies of images returned by the Service.

3. Licence

3.1 Subject to these terms and to payment, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence, for the term of your Subscription, to access the Data for the countries and tier you have paid for, and to use it:

• (a) for your own internal business purposes; and
• (b) inside Your Product, where End Users can search, view and be shown individual listings, Delivered Images and Insights, but cannot obtain the Data as a dataset, a feed, a file, a database or an API.

3.2 When you display Data in Your Product, you must show listings substantially as delivered, must not present them as misleading or altered, and must keep any attribution the Service provides.

3.3 The licence covers only the countries and tier in your Subscription. Data from another country, or Insights on a Standard Subscription, falls outside the licence even if a technical error makes it available to you.

3.4 We keep all rights not expressly granted. You acquire no ownership of the Data or the Service.

4. What you may not do

4.1 No redistribution. You may not resell, sublicense, lease, lend, publish, syndicate or otherwise make the Data available to anyone else as data, a feed, an API, a file or a database, whether free or paid, and whether in whole or in part. Displaying individual listings to End Users inside Your Product, as allowed by section 3.1(b), is not redistribution.

4.2 No bulk download. You may not copy, mirror, scrape, crawl or systematically extract the Data, or build or maintain a copy of a substantial part of it, by any means. The Service is designed for look-ups, uses cursors and offers no bulk export; you may not work around that design, including by using several Keys, IP addresses or accounts.

4.3 Caching. You may keep a copy of a record only for as long as needed to serve a request in Your Product, and for no longer than 24 hours. After that you must request the record again from the Service.

4.4 No circumvention. You may not evade or test the limits of the Service, including the IP allowlist, rate limits, quotas, entitlement checks, signatures on image URLs or suspensions. You may not remove, alter or obscure a watermark.

4.5 No identification of people. You may not use the Data, alone or combined with other data, to identify, locate, contact or profile a person who lists, owns or occupies a property, or to re-identify anyone from Insights. You may not try to recover contact details that have been removed from listing descriptions.

4.6 Artificial intelligence and machine learning. You may use the Data to train, fine-tune or evaluate machine-learning models used only inside your own business or Your Product. You may not use the Data to build, train or improve a dataset or model that is sold, licensed or made available to others, or that reproduces or competes with the Data or the Service.

4.7 Lawful use. You may not use the Service or the Data unlawfully, or in breach of the privacy, consumer protection, advertising or anti-discrimination laws that apply to you.

5. Your Key

5.1 The Key is yours alone. Keep it secret, use it only from your own servers and only from the IP address registered for it. You are responsible for everything done with your Key. Tell us immediately if it may have been exposed.

5.2 We may pause or revoke your Key at any time, and without notice where we consider this necessary to protect the Service, our data or other people, in particular:

• while a payment is overdue after the grace period in section 6.4, or is disputed;
• when your Subscription ends or is cancelled;
• when we reasonably believe you have breached section 4, shared your Key, or are using the Service in a way that harms it or other customers.

While a Key is paused or revoked, the Service refuses your requests. Pausing is not a waiver of any of our rights and does not pause your Subscription fee unless we say so in writing.

5.3 You register one IP address at checkout and may change it in the console. Changes are logged and limited in number. You may not register an IP address you do not control.

5.4 Usage is monitored and logged with the IP address, the Key and the request. Logs are kept for 13 months and may be used to enforce these terms and to comply with the law.

6. Fees and payment

6.1 The fee is the amount shown to you in the console and at checkout for your Subscription, in US dollars, for the billing period you choose (monthly or annual). These terms do not state prices.

6.2 New subscriptions. Your Key is created only after the first payment has succeeded.

6.3 Changes during the term. Adding a country or upgrading your tier is charged pro rata immediately and applies to the same Key once the payment is confirmed. Removing a country or downgrading takes effect at the next renewal and gives no refund for the current period.

6.4 Failed renewal. If a renewal payment fails, we will email you and keep your Key working for 5 days. After that, we pause it. It resumes automatically once the payment is settled.

6.5 Disputed payments. If a payment is disputed or reversed, we may pause your Key immediately and review the matter before restoring access.

6.6 Taxes and refunds. Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for any VAT, GST, sales or withholding taxes that apply. If you must withhold tax by law, you will pay the additional amount needed so that we receive the full fee. Fees are non-refundable, except where the law requires otherwise.

7. The Data and what we do not promise

7.1 Listing information is supplied by the agents, owners and developers who publish it. Insights are calculated from activity on our portals and, where we say so, from named third parties. We do not create listing information and we do not verify all of it.

7.2 We do not promise that the Service will be available at any particular time, that any response will be correct, complete or current, that any country or listing will be included, or that the Data will reach any particular volume. The Service and the Data are provided "as is" and "as available", and we may change, limit or withdraw any part of them. No document, web page, sample or sales statement is a promise of any of this; only a written agreement signed by us can be.

7.3 Prices in the Data are in the currency of each listing and are not converted.

7.4 Third-party market data in Insights is provided under the licences of its publishers and is subject to their terms, which we will identify. We serve a third-party source only after confirming its licence allows this use.

7.5 Figures in our marketing or documentation (such as numbers of listings, countries or customers, data freshness, accuracy or response times) are not part of this agreement.

8. Images

8.1 The Service returns images only as Delivered Images: watermarked copies served at signed addresses that are tied to your Key and expire. You may use Delivered Images only as section 3 allows, and may not remove or alter the watermark.

8.2 Original Images are publicly displayed on the Housing Market portals and remain publicly reachable there, whether or not you have a Subscription. The fact that an Original Image is public gives you no licence to copy, store, redistribute or reuse it. Rights in each photograph belong to its owner and are licensed to you only to the extent these terms state.

9. Personal data

9.1 Property records and descriptions can relate to identifiable people, for example an owner-listed home. We remove contact details from descriptions and reduce the location precision of owner-listed homes, but we cannot guarantee that no personal data remains.

9.2 You are responsible for having a lawful basis for any personal data you receive and use, and for complying with the data protection laws that apply to you, including where applicable the GDPR, the UK GDPR and the data protection laws of Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam. Where the law requires a data processing or data transfer agreement, the parties will enter into one on request.

9.3 Insights are aggregated statistics and do not contain individual-level personal data. You may not attempt to reverse or de-aggregate them.

10. Intellectual property

We and our licensors own the Service and the Data. Housing Market Group, Housing Market API and our logos are our trademarks; you may not use them except to state accurately that Your Product uses the Housing Market API. You grant us the right to use any feedback you give us, without obligation to you.

11. Suspension and termination

11.1 You may cancel at any time in the console. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period.

11.2 We may suspend or terminate your Subscription immediately if you breach section 4, 5 or 6, or if the law requires it. We may discontinue the Service, or any part of it, by giving you at least 30 days' notice, in which case we will refund any prepaid fees for the period after discontinuation.

11.3 When your Subscription ends, you must stop using the Data and delete all copies you hold, including cached copies. On request, you will confirm in writing that you have done so. Sections 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 survive the end of your Subscription.

12. Liability

12.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

12.2 Neither party is liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or data, however caused.

12.3 Our total liability arising out of or in connection with these terms or the Service is limited to the fees you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

12.4 Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or limits your liability for breach of section 4 or your payment obligations.

13. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify and hold us harmless against any claims, losses, damages, fines and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of section 4, your use of the Data in Your Product, or your breach of any law.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and of the United States. Any dispute arising from these Terms or from your use of the Housing Market API is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida.

15. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms for future use by giving at least 30 days' notice in the console and by email. If you do not agree to a change, you may cancel before it takes effect without penalty. You accept a new version the next time you renew or change your Subscription, and we keep a record of each acceptance.

16. General

16.1 These terms, together with any order or written agreement signed by us, are the entire agreement between us about the Service. If you have a separate written agreement for the Service signed by us, that agreement applies instead of these terms where they conflict.

16.2 You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a company in our group or to a successor of our business.

16.3 If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force.

16.4 A failure or delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
