Swimply API
Swimply publishes no API: no developer portal, REST or GraphQL endpoints, webhooks, or OAuth scopes, and no partner program. Host payout data lives in Stripe Express, which is Stripe's surface, and calendar sync, PMS integration, and accounting exports have no sanctioned path.
Frequently asked questions
Swimply scores F on the API Report Card. Swimply publishes no API: no developer portal, REST or GraphQL endpoints, webhooks, or OAuth scopes, and no partner program. Host payout data lives in Stripe Express, which is Stripe's surface, and calendar sync, PMS integration, and accounting exports have no sanctioned path.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Swimply is a peer-to-peer marketplace that lets homeowners rent out their private pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, backyards, and full homes by the hour.
Vertical: misc (closest Supergood neighbors are POS/Hospitality and Property Management, but Swimply is fundamentally a consumer two-sided marketplace, not vertical operations software). A suburban Phoenix homeowner with an in-ground pool signs up as a Swimply host, uploads photos, sets a $50/hour rate with a 3-guest minimum and 8-guest maximum, configures house rules (no glass, no alcohol, no pets), enables instant-book, and connects a Stripe Express account for payouts.
Swimply is a recognizable consumer brand within its niche (frequent press coverage, Shark Tank alumnus, ~4 million experiences facilitated lifetime per company-reported figures) but objectively small.
Partially, and only as one of several channels.
Swimply was founded in 2018 in Cedarhurst, NY by then-20-year-old Bunim Laskin (now headquartered in Los Angeles), publicly launched in June 2019, and pitched on Shark Tank S11 in March 2020 (all sharks passed).
No public API, no developer portal, no documented webhooks, third-party tools cannot programmatically integrate with a host's Swimply listing, calendar, or payouts. No documented iCal calendar export or import, so hosts who also list on Peerspace, Giggster, or Airbnb cannot cleanly avoid double-bookings across platforms. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Peerspace, Giggster, Airbnb, Vrbo, ResortPass, DayAxe. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
