Real estate site Zillow.com announced today that it is releasing application programming interfaces (APIs) to developers free of charge, enabling other Internet sites to incorporate Zillow data and features in their own domains, offering detailed information from Zillow’s database of some 68 million U.S. homes.
“We understand that individuals in the real estate market today, whether it be buying or selling a home, engage with real estate professionals on a local level,” said Mark Eamer, Zillow’s director of online marketing. “While there are a handful of national real estate sites on the Web today, many thousands of local real estate agents and brokerages also have home pages, and many are looking for ways to enhance these with relevant, free information for their customers. By opening up the Zillow API, we’re putting more information in the hands of consumers, in more places.”
