Zillow API for Java Now Available
I launched our first integration with Zillow early this morning. Not bad considering the API has only been available for one week. (Am I the first? Surely someone from Zillow can confirm it in the comments if true.)
Like a good programmer should, I designed the integeration separate from the RealtyBaron.com website. As a result, anyone who is using Java as their web platform can use the same software code I used to integrate. The project’s home can be found at http://code.realtybaron.com/docs/zillow-api
The source is not yet available and the documentation was hurried. Drop me an email if you have questions, comments, or need help using the toolkit: marc@realtybaron.com

Hi Marc - Your API is in fact one of the first Open API launches (alpha version)! Of course, others are popping up as well (check out: http://www.auctioncloud.com/real-estate.php). If anyone else is interested in integrating Zillow functionality on your site, please contact bd@zillow.com with a short proposal (name, email, company, URL, proposed integration) and you will more than likely be invited to join the program as well. This way, you can use RealtyBaron’s java devloper kit with a ZWS-ID provided by Zillow!

Marc, well done with the API. I can’t wait to see the finished product in action. We are looking to add a Zillow-style system to our site as well, but we are using a google interface instead. Putting this project together is quite an experience

sounds like you’ve got a great tool here. i’m not really good in programming but i’ll ask one of my programmers to implement your tool in one of my sites.
it’s great to have people like you who can create tools to help all of us in the industry. thanks!
