Description
Zillow Zestimate (property valuation) and rent Zestimate lookups via Zillapi.com. One tool, minimum surface area.
README (SKILL.md)

zillow-zestimate

Focused valuation skill. Use only when the user explicitly asks for a property value — the Zestimate, rent Zestimate, tax-assessed value, or last sale price.

When to use this skill

DO use when the user asks:

  • "What's the Zestimate on 123 Main St?"
  • "How much is my house worth?"
  • "What's the rental Zestimate?"
  • "What did this house last sell for?"
  • "What's the tax-assessed value?"

Do NOT use when:

  • An address appears incidentally in context (email signatures, unrelated documents)
  • The user mentions a property without asking for its value
  • The user has not signaled they want a valuation lookup

If you also need photos, schools, agent contact, or price history, use zillow-full instead — it bundles everything in one install.

Tools

get_zestimate — 1 credit

Returns:

{
  "data": {
    "zestimate": 489500,
    "rent_zestimate": 2800,
    "tax_assessed_value": 410000,
    "last_sold_price": 375000,
    "currency": "USD"
  }
}

Pass either zpid (preferred — cheaper) or address. If only address is given, the handler resolves the zpid first.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears safe for its stated purpose. Before installing, understand that it needs your Zillapi API key, requests may consume credits, and any property address or zpid you ask it to value will be sent to Zillapi.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: zillow-zestimate Version: 1.0.1 The skill is a straightforward implementation for fetching property valuations from a specific third-party API (zillapi.com). The code in handler.py uses only the Python standard library, follows best practices for API authentication via environment variables, and the SKILL.md instructions provide clear, restrictive guidelines for the AI agent to prevent unintended usage.
Capability Tags

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose, SKILL.md instructions, and handler code all align around a single Zestimate/rent Zestimate lookup function.
Instruction Scope
The skill explicitly limits use to cases where the user asks for property value information and warns not to run on incidental addresses.
Install Mechanism
There is no install script or package installation; the included handler uses only Python standard-library modules.
Credentials
The skill requires a ZILLAPI_KEY and sends lookup inputs to the disclosed Zillapi API, which is expected for this integration.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifacts show no persistence, background execution, local file indexing, credential storage, or privilege escalation.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install zillow-zestimate
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /zillow-zestimate
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
