# Zillow Listings Scraper

Search Zillow for-sale listings by city/location: price, beds, baths, square footage, Zestimate, home type and status. No login, no browser. The data comes from the Pullwire API: you send the input as JSON and get structured JSON back. Only public data.

## Setup (once)

The API key must be in the environment variable `PULLWIRE_API_KEY`. Keys start with `af_live_`. Check it without printing it:

```bash
test -n "$PULLWIRE_API_KEY" && echo "key is set" || echo "PULLWIRE_API_KEY is missing"
```

If it is missing, stop and tell the user: sign up at https://pullwire.dev/login (new accounts get 2,000 free credits), create a key at https://pullwire.dev/app/keys, then run `export PULLWIRE_API_KEY="af_live_..."` in the shell the agent uses. Never print the key, write it into a file or repeat it in the chat.

## Run it

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://pullwire.dev/api/v1/tools/zillow/runs" \
  -H "x-api-key: $PULLWIRE_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"locations":[{"location":"Seattle, WA"}],"maxResults":3}'
```

The request waits up to 25 seconds and answers with `{"run": {...}, "results": [...]}`. Check `run.status` (`succeeded` or `failed`) and `run.error`: when it is set, the run stopped early and `results` is partial (everything in it was charged). `run.creditsUsed` is what the run cost. For big answers add `-o result.json` and read only the fields you need.

Good to know:

- Write each location as city + state (`Seattle, WA`), the Zillow URL slug (`seattle-wa`) or a zillow.com location URL; put several locations into one run (up to 20).
- Only for-sale listings. Zillow shows at most about 820 listings per search, so split a big area into smaller locations.
- `price` is the text Zillow shows; use `unformattedPrice` for sorting and math.
- This site blocks cloud servers, so runs go through residential network access and are switched on only while our automatic checks pass. When a run answers `503 TOOL_UNAVAILABLE`, tell the user this source is paused for now (nothing was charged) and check https://pullwire.dev/status.

## Input

The JSON body is the tool input. Fields:

| Field | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `locations` | object[] | yes |  | Locations: One entry per city/location to search. |
| `locations[].location` | string | yes |  | Location: City + state, e.g. "Seattle, WA", the zillow.com URL slug "seattle-wa", or a zillow.com location URL like https://www.zillow.com/seattle-wa/. |
| `locations[].maxResultsPerLocation` | integer | no | `100` | Max results for this location: Stops paginating once this many listings are collected for this location. Zillow itself shows at most 20 pages (about 820 listings) per search, so 820 is the maximum. |
| `maxResults` | integer | no |  | Max results: Stop after this many listings in total across all locations. Empty: no extra cap. |

Without `maxResults` a run returns at most 20 results; the maximum is 200 per run. Credits for `maxResults` results are reserved before the run starts and the unused part is given back, so ask for what you need.

## Output

Each item in `results` has these fields:

| Field | Type | Always there |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `zpid` | string | yes |
| `detailUrl` | string | yes |
| `address` | string | yes |
| `addressStreet` | string | no |
| `addressCity` | string | no |
| `addressState` | string | no |
| `addressZipcode` | string | no |
| `isUndisclosedAddress` | boolean | no |
| `price` | string | no |
| `unformattedPrice` | number | no |
| `currency` | string | no |
| `beds` | number | no |
| `baths` | number | no |
| `area` | number | no |
| `lotAreaValue` | number | no |
| `lotAreaUnit` | string | no |
| `homeType` | string | no |
| `homeStatus` | string | no |
| `statusText` | string | no |
| `latitude` | number | no |
| `longitude` | number | no |
| `zestimate` | number | no |
| `rentZestimate` | number | no |
| `daysOnZillow` | number | no |
| `isFeaturedListing` | boolean | no |
| `isShowcaseListing` | boolean | no |
| `imgSrc` | string | no |
| `listingProvidedBy` | string | no |
| `searchLocation` | string | yes |
| `scrapedAt` | string | yes |

## Cost

1 credit per listing. One real-estate listing returned from a location search. Searches with zero matches are not charged. Check the balance with:

```bash
curl -sS "https://pullwire.dev/api/v1/me" -H "x-api-key: $PULLWIRE_API_KEY"
```

The answer has `balance` in credits. Tell the user what a run cost when it was more than a few credits.

## Bigger jobs

Add `?async=1` to the run URL to start a background run (up to 50 seconds). It answers `202` with `run.id` right away. Poll every few seconds until `status` is `succeeded` or `failed`, then fetch the results:

```bash
curl -sS "https://pullwire.dev/api/v1/runs/$RUN_ID" -H "x-api-key: $PULLWIRE_API_KEY"
curl -sS "https://pullwire.dev/api/v1/runs/$RUN_ID/results" -H "x-api-key: $PULLWIRE_API_KEY"
```

Add `?format=csv` to the results URL when the user wants a spreadsheet.

## Errors

Errors answer `{"error": {"code": "...", "message": "..."}}`.

| Status | Code | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `INVALID_INPUT` | The message names the field. Fix the input and retry; nothing was charged. |
| 401 | `UNAUTHORIZED` | The key is missing, wrong or revoked. Ask the user to set a valid key in `PULLWIRE_API_KEY`. |
| 402 | `INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS` | The balance cannot cover the reservation. Lower `maxResults` or tell the user the balance is too low. |
| 404 | `NOT_FOUND` | Unknown tool or run ID. |
| 429 | `RATE_LIMITED` | Used up its burst of 120 requests and its 60 per minute. Wait, then retry. |
| 500 | `INTERNAL_ERROR` | Retry later. If the body has `runId`, fetch the partial results with `GET /runs/{runId}/results`. |
| 503 | `TOOL_UNAVAILABLE` | Our latest automatic checks against this site failed, so its runs are paused. Nothing was reserved or charged. Tell the user and try again later. |
| 503 | `SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE` | Retry later. |
