Our web service API (or "
web service", "
Application Programmatic
Interface") is another way for you access the Nestoria database.
We don't have all the answers.
There are many opinions about the best way to search for property.
We're curious to see what ideas you have.
Our hope is that the API will let you use the data in ways that we
have not thought of. Feel free to amaze us.
The API is very much a work in progress.
Please let us know if you find something that does not work, or if
there is something that you would like to be able to do. Please get in
touch via our
feedback form if you have
suggestions. We'll announce changes to the API via
our blog (and of course document
them on the
technical page).
The legal details:
Not trying to be a bore, but before you dive into coding there are a
few things we need to clarify. By using the API you agree to the
following terms:
- You will not alter the details provided - specifically you
will not change or misrepresent the names of the lister or of the
agent.
- You will not alter the listings URL, or replace it with any
other URL.
- You will not cache the data more than 24 hours. Property data is
inherently shortlived. Keep it fresh.
- You will state that the data originated with Nestoria, and
provide a link to either our homepage
(http://www.nestoria.co.uk) or to the appropriate results page
- the url of which will be provided in the results.
- The data must be used online, and use of the application you
develop made freely available to the public.
- We may in the future require registration to use the API.
- Please wait AT LEAST ONE SECOND between queries, or you are
likely to get automatically restricted. If you are releasing a
library to access the API, you MUST do this.
Please contact us if you would like to use the data in a way that
conflicts with the above. We're flexible. Hopefully we can come to an
arrangement.
