Working with the Zillow API
Monday, April 16th, 2007We recently completed a website that displays property estimates using the data from http://zillow.com:
http://www.estimatepropertyvalues.com
Zillow provides excellent documentation on how to utilize their API’s which made is easy to configure. This application pulls zillow data in real time and displays it alongside and within a google map. Each plot on the map holds a tabbed view of information including property details and charts. The application is designed to operate using mostly ajax calls for faster responses. The main challenge here was how to display a large quantity of data in a clean, uncluttered fasion.
