Downloading UK property prices from Zoopla in R
Published:
Zoopla offers limited access to its API, which serves up the latest property prices and area indices. I wrote an R package for querying it — see the GitHub documentation or zooplaR’s page for the latest.
It’s easy to pull prices over the last few months or years for a given postcode, outcode, or area: Given the limited number of queries, it can be worth sanity-checking the results against the property widget Zoopla provides (it redirects to zoopla.co.uk).
The widget has fewer options than the API and isn’t automated, but it’s handy for a quick cross-check.
