Linking to Nestoria

Perhaps you want to send the link for 2 bedroom flats in Camden, to your partner or fellow property-searcher?

You'll be happy to know that we thought about this, and its nice and easy to do (honestly).

The link for a basic search has 4 main sections: 1. Nestoria's main address
2. area (or postcode); spaces are replaced with dash e.g. notting-hill
3. 4.

Sometimes a basic search might not produce a usefully small number of results.

Suppose we then wanted to limit the search so that we found properties with a minimum of 2 bedrooms; we would add the following to the end of the basic search link (without the inverted commas):

5. /bedrooms-2 - This means 'with a minimum of 2 bedrooms'

6. /maxbed-3 - This means 'with a maximum of 3 bedrooms'

We can also limit the search to a price range:

7. /maxprice-400000 - Where 400000 is the maximum price

8. /minprice-300000 - Where 300000 is the minimum price

and there's the ability to filter by number of bathrooms

9. /bathrooms-2 - Where 2 is the minimum number of bathrooms

you can also restrict the results to only listings with (or without) certain keywords

10. /with-garden,balcony - Where garden,balcony is a comma seperated list of valid keywords

11. /without-excouncil - Where excouncil is a comma seperated list of valid keywords

the full list of valid keywords can be found on the Nestoria API page

So, using the above, a fully defined search might be one that goes to our site (1), searches in fulham (2) for flats (3) to buy (4), which have a minimum of 2 bedrooms (5) and cost less than £400,000 (7)

Interested in getting housing listings as an RSS feed? No problem, just change the www in the address to rss. So the address above becomes:

http://rss.nestoria.co.uk/fulham/flat/buy/bedrooms-2/maxprice-400000

If you aren't sure what RSS is, don't worry. Just read our technical FAQ

We offer several Nestoria logos you can add to your site

We offer an experimental version of our site that uses OpenStreetMap maps. To see the experimental version change the www to openstreetmap. For example the URL becomes:

http://openstreetmap.nestoria.co.uk/fulham/flat/buy/bedrooms-2/maxprice-400000

Read our blog post about the experiment.

We also offer several more advanced tools for webmasters to integrate listings from Nestoria on their websites.
