Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been digging into this whole "does Zillow have an API" thing for a project I’m working on. From what I can tell, Zillow *used* to have an API, but they shut it down a while back. Bummer, right?
I mean, it’s kinda frustrating because their data is so useful for real estate stuff. But now, it seems like they’re keeping things pretty locked down. Some folks are saying there are workarounds, but idk, it feels sketchy.
Anyone else tried to figure this out? Like, does Zillow have an API anymore, or are we just stuck scraping data the hard way? Would love to hear if anyone’s found a legit solution.
Cheers!
Yeah, so Zillow *did* have an API, but they shut it down a few years ago. It’s a real pain because their data is super useful for real estate projects.
I’ve been using Realtor.com’s API as an alternative. It’s not exactly the same, but it’s pretty solid for property listings and market trends. Worth checking out if you’re looking for something legit.
Also, if you’re okay with scraping, you can try tools like Scrapy or BeautifulSoup, but yeah, it’s not as clean as an API.
Honestly, the whole "does Zillow have an API" thing is such a headache. I tried reaching out to their support, and they basically said they’re not offering it anymore.
I’ve been using Estated for property data. It’s not free, but it’s reliable and has a lot of the same info Zillow used to provide.
If you’re looking for free options, you might wanna check out OpenStreetMap or even Redfin’s API, though it’s limited.
Zillow’s API is gone, and it’s a bummer. I’ve been scraping their site for data, but it’s a pain and kinda risky.
I found this tool called Apify that has a Zillow scraper. It’s not perfect, but it’s way easier than doing it manually.
Also, check out Rentometer if you’re into rental data. It’s not Zillow, but it’s helpful for market analysis.
So, does Zillow have an API? Nope, not anymore. It’s frustrating because their data is so valuable.
I’ve been using ATTOM Data Solutions for property info. It’s a paid service, but it’s comprehensive and covers a lot of what Zillow used to offer.
If you’re into coding, you could try building your own scraper, but be careful with Zillow’s terms of service.
Zillow’s API is history, sadly. I’ve been using Realty Mole’s API as a workaround. It’s not as extensive, but it’s decent for property valuations and market data.
Also, if you’re into scraping, Octoparse is a no-code tool that can help you pull data from Zillow. Just be cautious about how much you scrape.
Wow, thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I didn’t realize there were so many alternatives out there. I think I’m gonna give Realtor.com’s API a shot first since it seems the most straightforward.
Also, the scraping tools like Apify and Octoparse sound interesting, but I’m a bit nervous about getting flagged by Zillow. Has anyone had issues with that?
Thanks again for the help—this thread has been super useful!
Does Zillow have an API? Nope, and it’s a real downer. I’ve been using Datafiniti for real estate data. It’s not free, but it’s a good alternative if you need detailed property info.
Another option is to check out Zillow’s RSS feeds. They’re not as robust as an API, but they can give you some basic listing updates.
Zillow’s API is gone, and it’s a huge bummer. I’ve been using PropertyRadar for real estate data. It’s not Zillow, but it’s pretty close in terms of functionality.
If you’re into scraping, you could try using Puppeteer. It’s a Node.js library that makes scraping a bit easier, but again, be careful with Zillow’s terms.
So, does Zillow have an API? Sadly, no. I’ve been using CoreLogic for property data. It’s a paid service, but it’s super detailed and reliable.
Another option is to check out Zillow’s partner programs. They sometimes offer limited access to their data if you’re working on a specific project.
