Based on the search results provided, it appears that Zillow Leads uses a REST API. The key points are:
Zillow offers a "Lead API" for delivering rental lead data to CRMs and management systems. This API uses HTTP POST callbacks to deliver data in URL-encoded format.
While Zillow offers various APIs, there is no specific mention of GraphQL or SOAP APIs.
The use of HTTP POST callbacks and URL-encoded data format aligns more closely with REST principles than with GraphQL or SOAP architectures.
The official Zillow Leads API does appear to have webhook functionality. Zillow can deliver lead data to your webhook or endpoint via HTTP POST callback.
The search results do not provide specific information about the types of events you can subscribe to through Zillow's webhooks. However, we can infer that the main event type is likely related to new lead creation, as the API is described as delivering "lead data".
Data Format: The data format for the webhook is URL-encoded. Zillow states they are unable to make changes to their API fields or form.
Implementation: To implement the lead API delivery method, you need to reach out to [email protected] for testing and implementation details.
Webhook Endpoint: You would need to create an endpoint that can accept HTTP POST requests to receive the lead data.
While not specific to Zillow, some general webhook best practices that could apply include:
Decoupling the receiving of webhook events from processing them, to improve reliability and error handling.
Responding quickly (within 10 seconds) to webhook requests with a 2XX HTTP status code to acknowledge receipt.
Having a system in place to handle retries, as many webhook systems will retry failed deliveries.
It's important to note that the specific details about Zillow's webhook events and implementation are limited in the provided search results. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it would be best to contact Zillow directly or consult their official API documentation.
Here are the key points about the API Rate Limits of the Zillow Leads API:
You are limited to 1000 calls per day to the Home Valuations API and the Property Details API [1].
Zillow may approve higher daily call limits if you adhere to the API Terms of Use and pass a Zillow audit and review [1].
All API calls must reference the ZWSID (Zillow Web Services ID) issued to you as an approved licensee [1].
You may only present Zillow data on a transactional basis. Bulk access to users is not permitted [1].
You may not retain copies of the Zillow data. Your license is limited to making direct server calls and immediately distributing the data to end users [1].
You may present data on no more than 20 individual properties at a time to any given user (e.g. per web page) [1].
Implement rate limiting on your end to stay within the allowed limits.
Cache API responses to reduce the number of calls made and improve performance. Libraries like requests-cache can be used for this.
The Zillow API is not free. Pricing varies depending on usage.
You must use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the Zillow data from being downloaded in bulk or scraped [1].
If you become aware of any users violating the terms, you must notify Zillow and take corrective action [1].
While not explicitly stated for the Leads API, these limits and restrictions likely apply to it as well. For the most up-to-date and specific information on the Leads API limits, it's best to consult the official Zillow documentation or contact their support team directly.
