This is a Python wrapper for Zillow's API.

Currrently it supports the GetDeepSearchResults and GetUpdatedPropertyDetails APIs.

It allows you to directly convert an address/zipcode (GetDeepSearchResults API) or zillow id (GetUpdatedPropertyDetails API) into real estate data from the Zillow database.

MIT

It requires the xml.etree module, included with Python versions 2.7 and later. The requests library is also needed and will be installed by setuptools.

It is developed on Python 2.7 but should work on earlier versions. We have not tested it with Python 3. Sorry.

You can install this package using pip:

pip install pyzillow

or download the source from https://github.com/hanneshapke/pyzillow and install

python setup.py install

from pyzillow.pyzillow import ZillowWrapper, GetDeepSearchResults
...
address = 'YOUR ADDRESS'
zipcode = 'YOUR ZIPCODE'
...
zillow_data = ZillowWrapper(YOUR_ZILLOW_API_KEY)
deep_search_response = zillow_data.get_deep_search_results(address, zipcode)
result = GetDeepSearchResults(deep_search_response)
...
result.zillow_id # zillow id, needed for the GetUpdatedPropertyDetails

The following attributes are currently supported:

- zillow_id

updated_property_details_response = zillow_data.get_updated_property_details(zillow_id)
result = GetUpdatedPropertyDetails(updated_property_details_response)
