Mark, just want to remind you that Estately.com also has transit search, so people and agents can identify homes within a quarter mile of mass transit stations in nearly all of our markets – Washington, Oregon, California, New York and Chicago.

Hi Mark

Vidlisting has developed a growing set of customer facing API related to real estate video. The APIs are slowly being documented at http://api.forsalebylocals.com

You can even convert videos programatically using our API set and have the converted video returned to your own server.

We also have a new web developer program which gives web developers the ability to use and resell all of our internal APIs on commercial projects without attribution back to Vidlisting. This gives web developers access to the rich full set of platform multimedia and content management APIs used to build sites like http://Vidlisting.com and http://educationalmedialibrary.com (which is a premium content educational video site operated in collaboration with NAR)

I wanted to expand on the specifics included in the Cyberhomes API. In addition to everything mentioned, also pull neighborhood data, comparable properties, and chart data.

Geez, not sure what I was thinking in pointing out Walk Score. I read this post way to fast…

@Drew
Thanks for pointing that out!

@Greg
Panoramio is a good one, thanks. You've done a great job with implementing some of these.

Brian-
For readers interested in seeing some of the API's you speak of in action check out "Cool Tools" on Dwellicious, a veritable smorgasbord of real estate APIs!

Panoramio(a Google company) is one we use that shows photos in the neighborhood of bookmarked listings.

Brian-
One quick note, and one additional API to note. Zillow also has sold data in our API. I wouldn't normally point that out on a post like this, but I've heard from at least one developer that they didn't know Zillow had that data available in our API (and they chose to use cyberhomes as a result).

And the other API to note is the walk score API - http://www.walkscore.com/api.shtml
