    Extracting additional data from Zillow API

    Hello, I've been using a macro to extract data from zillow. Thank you so much to whomever posted it. Can someone please help me pull the other price listed for houses in foreclosure, such as 1291 Mettler rd, Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006. The macro only gives the Zestimate (1,163,778) not the other price as well (803,006).

    The code is from the thread titled: Zillow xml API extraction

    Thanks in advance!

    do you mean this from post 6?

    I think most of us don't have a Zillow id and don't want to sign up so...

    Re: Extracting additional data from Zillow API

    I would like to extract different fields than in the original code and I'm having trouble doing so.

    I want to extract the f-estimate. the z estimate is the zAmount already being extracted.

    In addition, I would like the extract the year-built, sqr. footage, acreage, style, type, date last sold, what amount last sold for, and status of the house.

    Thanks in advance!

    Just for the record, scottiex has asked for additional help on this.

    You can always paste code. Just don't forget to wrap it with code tags ( select code and click the #button)

    Re: Extracting additional data from Zillow API

    So that is the code I'm using, but I'm looking to modify it to get the additional data described above. Any chance someone could help with that? Thanks!!

    Re: Extracting additional data from Zillow API

    So Zillow API returns XML response.

    In order to read and retrieve value, you'd need to understand it's structure.

    Insert following into the code. Right after "If xmldoc.Load(Url) Then" line.
    Changing "C:\Test\ZillowAPI.txt" as needed.
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Run the code for valid address (just the one) that you know returns result (i.e. the address from your initial post).
    Then either comment out the code or remove it.

    This will have generated xml file with all nodes populated.
    Now go to Developer tab of your Excel file. And find "XML" section and click on Import.
    Import the ZillowAPI.xml file generated. Click on Source in XML section.

    This will give you structure of the xml response from Zillow.

    You can then use folder (node path) structure to scrape data.

    However, looking at the xml file content and what you mention, I can't find the other price (803,006) that you mention.

    As well, the code you posted does scrape all price/value available in the xml.

    The value you are after, isn't included in this API. You'll need to find other ways to scrape the data (or contact Zillow to find if there is API specifically to get that data).

    Re: Extracting additional data from Zillow API

    Extracting additional data from the Zillow API can be achieved by making specific API calls and leveraging its extensive features. Utilize endpoints like "GetZestimate" to access property value estimates and "GetDeepSearchResults" for comprehensive property data. For additional details like historical price trends or nearby schools, explore relevant endpoints. Keep in mind the API's rate limits and authentication requirements while making requests. Engage with the Zillow community to exchange tips, tricks, and best practices for maximizing the potential of this API and creating richer real estate applications. Happy coding!
