realestate.search

Searches Zillow property listings within its coverage. Details preserve sourced property facts and sale history when available; absent last-sale values remain unknown. Commute times require a separate route or matrix request.

Availability
ConfiguredChecked 2026-09-23 21:02 UTC
Cost basis: $0.004 per provider listing page or fresh property detail. Availability is reported per deployment by GET /v1/catalog (available). The timestamped snapshot describes configuration, not provider uptime or your account's enabled choices. Check the catalog with your own key before a call. Credits are explained under credits and limits.

Request

Body of POST /v1/capabilities/realestate.search/execute, JSON, validated against the RealestateSearchRequest component of the public OpenAPI document. Defaults are applied server-side, so an omitted optional field behaves exactly as its default.

Examples

Homes

curl
curl -s -X POST https://api.powerups-ai.store/v1/capabilities/realestate.search/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIPA_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"Austin, TX","num":5}'
No recorded response is published for this capability yet. The envelope is the ExecuteResponse component (see sessions and records); the record keys below are what the adapter emits. A first call with the example above returns search_id, the records and the charge.

Result record

Every item in results[] carries record_id and title (contract, always present) and usually url and snippet. The keys below are the documented tier: produced deterministically by this capability, omitted when the source has no value, checked against recorded source fixtures in our test suite, and published as the RealestateSearchRecord component (all optional, extra keys allowed) so generated clients type them. The wire schema itself still validates only the base keys. See stability tiers.

Caveats

  • Pages are capped at 24 listings; a filtered page can be empty while has_more is true.

Follow-ups

  • Paging: Provider page number; more fetches the next page from the source. Send { "search_id": "…", "action": "more" } while has_more is true; tolerate an empty page and stop after a bounded number of pages.
  • Update: Re-run with changed parameters (merged into the stored query); page state resets, search_id stays. Params accept any subset of the request fields (RealestateSearchUpdateParams).
  • Record actions:
    • details: Property facts and reported sale history, with the listing link.
  • Detail behaviour: First details call fetches from the provider (billed as stated); repeats are cached and free. details is a fresh property request: $0.004; repeated calls are cached.
record action
curl -s -X POST https://api.powerups-ai.store/v1/follow-up \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIPA_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"record_id":"rec_…","action":"details"}'

Record detail objects of this capability are provider-shaped: documented by observation, not by schema. Full follow-up semantics: follow-up.

Typed client

With types generated from the public document (see types, client and samples) the call is path-keyed and the body is checked at compile time:

TypeScript (openapi-fetch)
const { data, error } = await client.POST("/v1/capabilities/realestate.search/execute", {
  body: {
    "query": "Austin, TX",
    "num": 5
  },
});
if (error) throw new Error(`${error.error.code}: ${error.error.message}`);
for (const record of data.results) console.log(record.record_id, record.title);
