Zillow API having issues with running basic commands

Question

I am trying to use the Zillow API but I keep getting the following error and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I posted a screenshot of what my API settings are on Zillow and I think that might be the issue but I am not sure. Asking to get my code checked and if my settings are wrong, I've tried changing it but Zillow keeps telling that the website is experiencing an error when I try to change it so I do not know for sure

import zillow
key = 'my-zillow-key'
address = "3400 Pacific Ave., Marina Del Rey, CA"
postal_code = "90292"
api = zillow.ValuationApi()
data = api.GetSearchResults(key, address, postal_code)
data = api.GetDeepSearchResults(key, "826 Entrada St, Bossier City, LA", "71111")

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/zillow/api
.py", line 130, in GetDeepSearchResults
    place.set_data(xmltodict_data.get('SearchResults:sear
chresults', None)['response']['results']['result'])
KeyError: 'response'

During handling of the above exception, another exception
 occurred:

NOTE: neither data = api.GetSearchResults(key, address, postal_code) data = api.GetDeepSearchResults(key, "826 Entrada St, Bossier City, LA", "71111") ran by itself works

Yep. Doesn't appear that it's still maintained. Last update was years ago, and external APIs often change more frequently than that. — jordanm, May 22 '20 at 20:57

There is another library called pyzillow. And the APIs work for me. Maybe you can give it a try.

Please provide a link and maybe some code example :) – Yonlif Jul 05 '20 at 22:19
Recommending a third-party library is fine, but you really need to provide more detail about how using that library will solve this problem. For example, as @Yonlif requests, you might provide a short code example showing what the syntax of pyzillow looks like performing similar operations as the OP has outlined. Can you **edit** your answer to provide more information? – Jeremy Caney Jul 05 '20 at 22:35

I'm having the same problem and I'm using pyzillow. – GregNash Dec 29 '20 at 03:09

It seems that the Zillow API is being (very unceremoniously) turned down. It's possible your original issue was different and would have been addressed by swapping to pyzillow, but I suspect at this point you're out of luck unless you can get access to the Bridge APIs that Zillow appears to be migrating to.
