# Real estate & auto research
Search homes and used cars, and pull property/vehicle detail, across five
platforms as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API — no scraping listing pages.
## When to use this skill
- "Find homes for sale in <area>" / "what's this property worth?" (Zillow, Redfin)
- "What are home prices doing in this region?" (Redfin market trends)
- "Find similar properties" for comparison.
- "Find <make/model> for sale near <zip>" (CarMax, Autotrader, Cars.com)
- "Look up this vehicle listing / dealer."
## Setup (one-time)
- Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at [https://crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills).
- `export CRAWLORA_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here`
- All requests: `x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY` against
`https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`. Missing/invalid key → `401`.
## How it works
1. **Zillow** — `/zillow/search` needs more than a `location` string: **resolve
`/zillow/autocomplete` (`query`) first** to get a `region_id` (and map
bounds `north`/`south`/`east`/`west` when available), then pass
`location`+`region_id` (+ `region_type` if returned) to `/zillow/search`;
`/zillow/property/{zpid}` for detail.
2. **Redfin** — `/redfin/search` (`location` or `region_id`+`region_type`,
plus filters like `min_beds`/`max_price`) for listings;
`/redfin/property` (by `property_id` or `url`) for detail;
`/redfin/estimate` (`property_id`) for a Redfin Estimate
