Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Redfin API
Do I need an API key or any kind of account to access this data?
No. Our service scrapes data directly from Redfin’s public web pages, so you don’t need an official API token or account. Redfin doesn’t provide a free API for listings to the public, which is why scraping is a solution.
How recent are the “sold” listings in the data?
Redfin updates sold data quite quickly after a sale closes (often within a couple of days of public record). When you query sold data, you’re getting the latest available records up to the timeframe you specify. Keep in mind very recent sales might take a short while to appear.
Can you get pictures or virtual tour links for the property?
We provide the main photo URL that Redfin shows on the listing, but we do not download images. If you need multiple photos, the property details page often lists them, and we can include the URLs for those images on request. Virtual tour links (if present on the page) can also be captured as part of the property details.
Will using this scrape trigger any blocks from Redfin?
We use rotating proxies and obey reasonable rates to avoid detection. Redfin might temporarily block continuous aggressive scraping from a single IP. By using our API, you offload that risk to us. For best results, adhere to your plan’s rate limits and avoid extremely large bursts in a short time.
