I feel you on this one. The apartments.com api to get costs is not the most user-friendly. I had to dig through their docs for hours to figure out how to pull pricing data.
One tip: use their "search" endpoint with specific filters for rent or price. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing.
For rate limits, I used a simple retry mechanism with exponential backoff. It’s a bit of extra work, but it keeps you from getting blocked.
