Bolt.new AI and Yardi integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2025

The short version is: you don’t “integrate Bolt.new with Yardi” directly. Bolt.new is just your AI workspace. You integrate your app (scaffolded and run inside Bolt.new) with Yardi using Yardi’s real APIs.
Yardi has only two real integration surfaces in the wild: Yardi Voyager SOAP APIs and Yardi RENTCafé / Yardi Breeze REST APIs. Which one you use depends entirely on what your Yardi instance is licensed for. Nothing works without credentials provided by the Yardi admin for that specific property management company.

Inside bolt.new you simply write normal HTTP‑calling code, store Yardi credentials in environment variables, and test calls from the sandbox.

 

The Direct Answer

 

You integrate Bolt.new with Yardi by having your Bolt.new app call Yardi’s actual APIs (usually SOAP for Voyager or REST for Breeze/RENTCafé), authenticated with Yardi‑issued credentials, using normal HTTP requests made from code inside the Bolt.new environment. You store Yardi credentials as environment variables, build request functions, and test them in bolt.new. There is no automatic connector — you build the integration using Yardi’s documented API endpoints.

 

How This Actually Works (step-by-step, simple & accurate)

 

Yardi is not an open SaaS API. Every Yardi environment is custom. You cannot integrate unless the client’s Yardi admin gives you:

• API Endpoint URL (different per customer; Voyager uses SOAP .asmx endpoints)
• Yardi Interface Credentials (separate from normal user logins)
• Allowed modules (rent payments, resident data, maintenance, etc.)

Once you have that, here’s how you wire it through bolt.new.

 

Set environment variables in bolt.new

 

Inside bolt.new you add secrets like:

YARDI_ENDPOINT=https://yourcompany.yardi.com/interfaces/interface.asmx
YARDI_USERNAME=your_api_user
YARDI_PASSWORD=your_api_password
YARDI_INTERFACE=RESIDENT   // whatever module Yardi enabled for your tenant

Bolt.new stores these in a sandbox so your code can read them securely.

 

Example: Making a real Yardi Voyager SOAP call

 

Voyager SOAP is the most common real integration. Below is a valid Node.js example you can run in bolt.new (Voyager SOAP accepts XML envelopes via POST).

import axios from "axios";

export async function getTenants() {
  const endpoint = process.env.YARDI_ENDPOINT;

  const xml = `
    <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
      <soap:Body>
        <GetTenants xmlns="Yardi.Interface">
          <UserName>${process.env.YARDI_USERNAME}</UserName>
          <Password>${process.env.YARDI_PASSWORD}</Password>
          <Interface>${process.env.YARDI_INTERFACE}</Interface>
        </GetTenants>
      </soap:Body>
    </soap:Envelope>
  `;

  const res = await axios.post(endpoint, xml, {
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "text/xml; charset=utf-8"
    }
  });

  return res.data; // You will get XML back; parse with fast-xml-parser if needed
}

This is the real pattern: SOAP XML in, SOAP XML out.

 

Example: Parsing the SOAP XML response

 

import { XMLParser } from "fast-xml-parser";

export function parseYardiResponse(xmlString) {
  const parser = new XMLParser();
  return parser.parse(xmlString);
}

This is typically how you pull out residents, units, ledgers, etc.

 

If the client uses Yardi Breeze or RENTCafé (REST API)

 

Some modern Yardi products expose REST instead of SOAP. These use normal JSON APIs with API keys that Yardi provides. A real call looks like this:

import axios from "axios";

export async function getUnits() {
  const res = await axios.get("https://api.yardibreeze.com/units", {
    headers: {
      "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.YARDI_API_KEY}`
    }
  });

  return res.data;
}

Only works if the client has the Breeze API module licensed. Many don’t.

 

Testing Inside Bolt.new

 

• Create a simple API route such as /api/yardi/test and call your Yardi function.
• Keep logs verbose — Yardi errors are cryptic (usually “Interface not authorized” or “Invalid credentials”).
• Expect CORS to block browser calls — you must proxy through your server.

 

Production Hardening

 

• Never call Yardi directly from the client browser — always server‑side.
• Cache responses; Yardi rate limits aggressively and is slow.
• Add retries and timeouts — SOAP endpoints sometimes stall.
• Handle XML schema changes; many Yardi clients customize fields.

 

The Key Point

 

Bolt.new does not integrate with Yardi — your app integrates with Yardi through its SOAP or REST APIs, and bolt.new is simply your development sandbox to write, test, and refine those API calls.
