Open one for its parameters and an example request. | Endpoint | Required parameters | Cost | | --- | --- | --- | | [GET `/v1/movoto/amenity-tags`](https://perceptlayer.com/apis/movoto/amenity-tags) | `query` +2 optional | 1 credit | | [GET `/v1/movoto/autocomplete`](https://perceptlayer.com/apis/movoto/autocomplete) | `query` +1 optional | 1 credit | | [GET `/v1/movoto/listing`](https://perceptlayer.com/apis/movoto/listing) | `url` | 1 credit | | [GET `/v1/movoto/search`](https://perceptlayer.com/apis/movoto/search) | `location` +9 optional | 1 credit | Overview ## About the Movoto API ## What you can get The Movoto API returns Movoto home data as JSON through 4 endpoints. - **Search:** `search` takes a `location`, with `listing_type` (sale or rent), `property_type` (single\_family, condo, multi\_family or land), `min_price`, `max_price`, `min_beds`, `max_beds`, `min_baths`, `max_baths` and `page`. - **Listings:** `listing` takes a listing `url`. - **Lookups:** `autocomplete` takes a `query`, with `limit`; `amenity-tags` takes a `query`, with `postal_code` and `limit`. The recorded `search` for Austin, TX (for sale, at least 3 beds, up to 500,000) returns a `total` of 1,837, with `total_pages` and `has_next_page`. Each item carries `id`, `mls_number`, `listing_type`, `status`, `price`, `price_changed_date`, `beds`, `baths`, `sqft`, `lot_sqft`, `year_built`, `hoa_fee`, `garage_spaces`, `property_type`, `days_on_market`, `list_date`, `address`, `agent_name`, `office`, `url`, `path` and `photo_count`. It also returns a `market` summary with `average_listing_price`, `min_listing_price`, `max_listing_price`, `median_price_per_sqft`, `homes_for_sale`, `new_construction_homes`, `price_reduced_homes` and `open_houses`. ## How a call works Search a city: `GET /v1/movoto/search?location=Austin, TX&listing_type=sale&max_price=500000&min_beds=3` with your key in the `X-API-Key` header. Each item's `path` is the `url` value `listing` takes. Every successful call costs 1 credit; failed calls cost nothing.

New accounts get free credits to start, and credit packs bring the price down as you scale. **What format are responses in?** Every endpoint returns JSON, with no HTML parsing on your side. **Do I need a Movoto account?** No. You call this Movoto API with your Perceptlayer key in the \`X-API-Key\` header, with no Movoto login. **Does it include MLS details?** Yes. Each search item carries an \`mls\_number\`, with the listing \`agent\_name\` and \`office\`. **Should I build a Movoto scraper instead?** You can, but a Movoto scraper is code you maintain: page changes break it, requests get blocked, and Movoto's terms govern how you collect data. The Movoto API gives you 4 endpoints of named JSON fields for 1 credit per successful call, and failed calls cost nothing. A scraper makes sense only for data these endpoints don't return, so check the response in the playground on this page first. ## Try the Movoto API with 100 free credits No credit card.
