python setup.py install

• For more details on distutils: https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/introduction.html

1. Optional - Sign up for a Zillow Token: https://www.zillow.com/howto/api/APIOverview.htm

2. Create a text file of housing ID's you are interested in pulling from the site, only the ID is necessary, such as assessments.txt.

   0000-S-00000-0000-01
   0000-S-00000-0000-02
   

• Alternative: Pass a list of comma separated IDs: 0000-S-00000-0000-01,0000-S-00000-0000-02,...

3. Extract the data with assessment/assessments.py :

   python -m assessment.assessments --parcels assessments.txt  --zwid <Zillow Token>

   Notes about this module:

   • Caches the website in a ./data/:

     • Limits the number of times you hit the website
     • TODO: Cache data in a Database (probably DynamoDb)

   • Outputs the file to assessments.csv:

     • The current output is a CSV
     • TODO: Create a data store (again probably DynamoDb)

4. Analyze the data using sklearn - samples scripts are here: assessments/ml
