Why do I get address must be a character error when I call this api using R?

Question

library(ZillowR)
library(tidyverse)

# Sample data
set_zillow_web_service_id("X1-ZWz17seirkzuh7_93aho")

map2_dfr(sample3$Street, sample3$ZipCode,
         ~{GetDeepSearchResults(address = .x,
                                citystatezip = as.character(.y),
                                rentzestimate=FALSE) %>% 
             unlist() %>% 
             enframe()
         }) %>% 
  filter(!str_detect(value, "text"))

How do I get my output of the getdeepsearchresults api? I want my query to hit the api and return results for each row of parameters i.e. address(Street) and zipcode(citystatezip)

Answer 1

One way to get address and citystatezip would be to use map2_df/map2_dfr and pass Street and ZipCode to GetDeepSearchResults and extract only the interested properties.

library(ZillowR)

purrr::map2_df(sample$Street, as.character(sample$ZipCode), ~{
        temp <- GetDeepSearchResults(address = .x,citystatezip = .y)
       tibble(Address = temp$request$address, Zip = temp$request$citystatezip)
})

# A tibble: 7 x 2
#  Address              Zip  
#  <chr>                <chr>
#1 2577 Long Bow Ave    43130
#2 4822 Armandale Nw    44718
#3 348 Grandview Ave    8837 
#4 81 Rhoades Ave       2032 
#5 296 Monte Cristo Dr. 89403
#6 4348 9th Street      99703
#7 5649 Vera Cruz Ave N 55429

Or using base R Map

do.call(rbind, Map(function(x, y) {
   temp <- GetDeepSearchResults(address = x,citystatezip = y)
   c(Address = temp$request$address, Zip = temp$request$citystatezip)
}, sample$Street, as.character(sample$ZipCode)))
