How long does it take to get Yardi data flowing?

With Yardi Data Connect: days to first data once credentials are provisioned. With Yardi Replicate: 2–6 weeks for Yardi to stand up the replicated database, then days for downstream pipelines. CREx typically delivers first usable dashboards within two weeks of credentials going live.

Getting data from Yardi — without breaking the night.

Q: How do I get data out of Yardi?

There are three production-grade paths: (1) Yardi Data Connect — Yardi's API-based read access to operational and financial data; (2) Yardi Replicate — a managed SQL replication of your Yardi database into a customer-owned warehouse; (3) a managed pipeline like CREx that handles either of those plus semantic normalization, daily refresh, and dashboard-ready output.

Q: What is Yardi Data Connect?

Yardi Data Connect is Yardi's sanctioned API for programmatic read/write access to Voyager data. It exposes endpoints for rent rolls, leases, GL transactions, vendors, and reports. It is paginated, requires Yardi-issued credentials, and is best when you want event-driven or selective access rather than a full warehouse copy.

Q: What is Yardi Replicate?

Yardi Replicate is a Yardi-managed service that replicates your Voyager database into a SQL Server instance you control. You get near-1:1 schema access for BI tools, custom reporting, and warehouse loads. It is the fastest path to a queryable copy of every Voyager table — but you still own schema decoding, normalization, and downstream modeling.

Q: Yardi Data Connect vs Yardi Replicate — which should I use?

Use Yardi Data Connect for targeted entities, event-driven updates, or a lighter footprint. Use Yardi Replicate when you need broad analytics across the full Voyager schema, custom reporting, or a warehouse pipeline. Most institutional owners running analytics or AI workloads end up on Replicate — or on a managed layer on top of it.

Q: Can I export rent rolls from Yardi automatically?

Yes. Both Yardi Data Connect (rent roll endpoints) and Yardi Replicate (the underlying tables) support automated extraction. Manual CSV exports from Voyager break beyond a few properties — automation is the only viable path at scale.

Q: Does Yardi have a public API?

Yes — Yardi Data Connect is the sanctioned API surface. Access requires a Yardi license tier that includes API entitlements and Yardi-issued credentials. It is not a public-internet open API; you must be a Yardi customer.

Q: Can I replicate Yardi data into Snowflake, Databricks, or Microsoft Fabric?

Yes. Yardi Replicate gives you a SQL Server source that any modern warehouse can ingest. CREx ships pre-built pipelines into Snowflake, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric, including the semantic model and CRE-specific data quality checks.

Q: Is reading Yardi data through Data Connect or Replicate secure?

Yes. Both surfaces use Yardi-issued credentials and audited connections. Replicate runs in a database under your control. CREx layers role-based access, encrypted transport, and audit logging on every pull.

Yardi Data Connect, Yardi Replicate, manual exports, and managed pipelines all promise the same thing: your rent rolls, GLs, and trial balances out of Voyager and into a system you can actually report on. They are not equal. Here is how to pick — and how CREx removes the cost of being wrong.

/ 01The problem

Voyager runs your portfolio. It just doesn't give you the data easily.

Yardi Voyager is the system of record for operations — rent rolls, leases, GL, vendors, tenants. But every analytics team that has tried to build BI on top of Yardi knows the truth: getting clean, daily, dashboard-ready data out of Voyager is the hardest part of the job.

Manual report exports break at scale. Custom SQL against Voyager directly is unsupported and risky. That leaves three sanctioned paths: Yardi Data Connect, Yardi Replicate, or a managed pipeline on top of one of them.

Three paths

How to get data out of Yardi Voyager.

Three production-grade paths exist. The right one depends on what you are building and how much of the Voyager schema you need.

PATH 01 · API

Yardi Data Connect

Yardi's sanctioned read/write API for Voyager. Programmatic access to rent rolls, leases, GL transactions, vendors, and reports.

+ Targeted, event-driven access+ Lightweight footprint− Pagination at scale− Not a full warehouse copy

MOST COMMONPATH 02 · SQL

Yardi Replicate

A Yardi-managed SQL replica of your Voyager database into a SQL Server instance you control. Near-1:1 schema access.

+ Full schema, BI-ready+ Customer-owned database− 2–6 weeks to stand up− You own modeling & normalization

PATH 03 · MANAGED

CREx pipeline

A managed layer on Data Connect or Replicate. Daily refresh, normalized CRE semantic model, reconciliation against Voyager as source of truth.

+ Days to first dashboard+ Normalized rent roll, GL, T12+ Reconciled vs. Yardi source+ Snowflake / Fabric / Databricks ready

Deep dive · Data Connect

What is Yardi Data Connect?

Yardi Data Connect is the API surface on top of Voyager. Use it when you need selective, programmatic access — not a full warehouse copy.

/01

REST endpoints

Rent roll, lease, charge, GL, vendor, and report endpoints. Authenticated with Yardi-issued credentials.

/02

Event-driven access

Pull deltas on a schedule. Lighter footprint compared to replicating the full database.

/03

Gated by license tier

Data Connect requires Yardi-issued credentials and the right Voyager license. It is not a public-internet API.

Deep dive · Replicate

What is Yardi Replicate?

Yardi Replicate is a managed service that streams your Voyager database into a SQL Server instance you control. The fastest path to a queryable copy of every table — but you still own schema decoding.

/01

Near-1:1 schema

Every Voyager table, every column, queryable in SQL. BI tools, custom reports, warehouse loads — all unlocked.

/02

Customer-owned

Replicate writes to a SQL Server instance you control — on-prem or in your cloud. No data sits with a third party.

/03

Raw schema only

You get the database. You still need to decode tables, model the rent roll, normalize accounts, and build dashboards.

How CREx fits

From Yardi to dashboard — in days, not quarters.

CREx is a Yardi Standard Interface partner. We sit on top of Data Connect or Replicate, normalize Voyager's schema, and deliver dashboard-ready data on a daily cadence.

/01 Connect

Auth to your Yardi tier

Authenticate to Data Connect, or point CREx at your Replicate database. No custom code, no in-house ETL.

/02 Normalize

CRE semantic model

Voyager's schema becomes a clean CRE model: rent roll, GL, lease, T12, trial balance — consistent across portfolios.

/03 Refresh daily

Same-day cadence

Daily refresh, reconciled against Yardi as source of truth. Anomalies escalate — they never silently pass.

/04 Deliver

Anywhere you need

CREx OS, Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, or your own warehouse — pre-built pipelines, ready on day one.
