How to import Realtor data to Google Sheets

Follow the steps given below to learn how to import Realtor data to Google Sheets.

Step 1: Get the API key

We’ll use a Realtor API on RapidAPI that will allow us to retrieve real estate and property data into Google Sheets.

Login to RapidAPI here. If you don’t have an account created, you will need to click the Sign-up option and create one.

Search for Realtor API and click on the result according to the snippet below. Or just click this link to go directly to the Realtor API documentation in RapidAPI.

Searching for the Realtor API

Click on the Subscribe to Test option and choose the plan you wish to subscribe to. The paid plans will allow you to make significantly more requests than the free plan, i.e., Basic Plan.

After subscribing to a plan, we’ll be able to pull real estate and property data into Google Sheets using the Realtor API.

Subscribing to use the Realtor API

Upon subscribing your API key will be generated and automatically added as one of the required parameters in the API documentation segment.

Step 2: Choose the API endpoint 

In the leftmost section of the API documentation, you will find the list of endpoints available with which you can import Realtor data to Google Sheets.

List of API endpoints available

For the purpose of the tutorial, we will import property data from Realtor for a specific region in the US. 

Select the Search properties for sale endpoint under Properties.

In the centre section of the API documentation, you will find a list of query name and their parameters. While the required parameters will be automatically filled with default values, we can modify the optional query parameters to filter the property data to suit our preferences. 

For instance, to find the list of properties available for sale in Chicago we change the location query‘s parameter from Santa Monica to Chicago.

Query parameter and their values

Once you have inputted the optional parameters click on Test Endpoint. If you have entered proper query values, you will find a success message in the rightmost section of the Realtor API documentation. 

Click on Code snippets→ change the programming language from (Node.js) Axios→ Shell→cURL.

Changing the coding format to access the endpoint URL

Copy the API endpoint URL and take note of the headers and their values. The same will be used to import real estate data to Google Sheets from Realtor.
