ZeroPointRepo zillow-full
Nine tools over the Zillapi REST API. Every call consumes credits, so fire only when the request is genuinely about a specific property or listing search. When intent is ambiguous, confirm with the user before calling.
Tools
| Tool | Credits | Use for |
|---|---|---|
lookup_property_by_address |
1 | Full record from a US address (loose strings work, 6+ chars) |
lookup_property_by_url |
1 | Full record from a pasted zillow.com/homedetails/... link |
lookup_property_by_zpid |
1 | Full record when the zpid is already known (cache-served when fresh) |
get_zestimate |
1 | Just the Zestimate, rent Zestimate, tax assessed value, last sold price |
search_listings |
1 per result | For sale, for rent or sold listings by location or bbox plus filters |
get_price_history |
1 | List price changes, sale prices, withdrawals |
get_property_photos |
1 | Photo gallery (responsive image URLs) |
get_property_schools |
1 | Assigned schools with GreatSchools ratings |
get_listing_agent |
1 | Listing agent and broker contact for an active listing |
Pick the narrowest tool: get_zestimate for a valuation question beats fetching the full record. The full record returns 250+ fields, so prefer the sub-resource tools when the user wants one slice.
Parameter details and response field notes: see reference.md.
