Had an idea for a Google Maps + Real Estate mashup, and would like to start a pet project.

A.t.m. I'm looking for a source of real estate data. I want to avoid scraping, most preferably something that has an API which returns JSON (preferably) or XML (or anything else that is programmatically parseable really).

The big online portals in the area, http://domain.com.au , http://realestate.com.au & http://realestateview.com.au do not appear to have any API that is publicly exposed. Have I missed something here?

The only site that I have found so far is Nestoria, however their Australian listings do not appear to be as comprehensive as the sites mentioned above.

Any one know of more sources of data?

If you're wanting something for free, scraping is really your only option. You can be sure that anyone who DOES provide the data for free is also probably scraping it from the domain.com.au and realestate.com.au's of the world. (this is usually the outcome)

You may have some luck if you're willing to spend a few bucks though. The below sites offer very comprehensive data sets, however I imagine it won't be cheap.

• apm.com.au
• residex.com.au
• rpdata.net.au

Only thing I've found has been a monthly summary of Australian capital cities real estate markets in json from RPData.
