# RentCache Project Summary
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 Project Overview
|
|
|
|
**RentCache** is an intelligent caching proxy for the Rentcast API that reduces API costs by 70-90% through smart caching, rate limiting, and usage management.
|
|
|
|
- **Repository**: https://git.supported.systems/MCP/rentcache
|
|
- **Production URL**: https://rentcache.l.supported.systems
|
|
- **API Documentation**: https://rentcache.l.supported.systems/docs
|
|
- **Version**: 0.1.0
|
|
|
|
## 🏗️ Architecture
|
|
|
|
### System Components
|
|
1. **FastAPI Proxy Server** - Handles all API requests
|
|
2. **Multi-Level Cache** - Redis (L1) + SQLite/PostgreSQL (L2)
|
|
3. **Rate Limiter** - Token bucket algorithm
|
|
4. **CLI Tools** - Administration and monitoring
|
|
5. **Docker Deployment** - Production-ready containers
|
|
6. **Caddy Reverse Proxy** - Automatic HTTPS
|
|
|
|
### Key Features
|
|
- ✅ **Complete Rentcast API Coverage** - All endpoints proxied
|
|
- ✅ **Intelligent Caching** - Soft delete, serve stale, TTL management
|
|
- ✅ **Cost Management** - 70-90% reduction in API costs
|
|
- ✅ **Rate Limiting** - Per-API key and endpoint limits
|
|
- ✅ **Usage Analytics** - Detailed metrics and reporting
|
|
- ✅ **Production Ready** - Docker, health checks, monitoring
|
|
- ✅ **Rich CLI** - Beautiful administration tools

## 🚀 Quick Start
|
|
|
|
### 1. Clone and Setup
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.supported.systems/MCP/rentcache.git
|
|
cd rentcache
|
|
make setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Configure API Key
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Your Rentcast API key
|
|
API_KEY="47b3c2e7c40849f296bb7d5de9d526c4"
|
|
|
|
# Create key in system
|
|
make create-key NAME=production KEY=$API_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Test the API
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Property search
|
|
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
|
|
"https://rentcache.l.supported.systems/api/v1/properties?city=Austin&state=TX&limit=1"
|
|
|
|
# Health check
|
|
curl https://rentcache.l.supported.systems/health
|
|
|
|
# View metrics
|
|
curl https://rentcache.l.supported.systems/metrics
