Redfin — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the redfin-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install redfin --cli-only

2. Verify: redfin-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/redfin/cmd/redfin-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI when an agent or human needs structured Redfin data and needs the workflows the website itself doesn't expose: cross-region diffs over time, $/sqft rankings net of HOA, sold-comp recipes for a subject property, market-trends overlays across cities, and digest-style summaries. Reach for it for buyer comparison-shopping, investor screening across multiple zips, relocator city comparisons, and buyer's-agent comp pulls. Skip it for one-off browsing — the redfin.com website is fine for that.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Time-series intelligence

• watch — Re-run a saved gis search and surface what's NEW, REMOVED, PRICE-CHANGED, or STATUS-CHANGED since the last sync.

  Pick this when an agent is tracking a buyer's shortlist over time and needs a reproducible 'what changed' digest.

  redfin-pp-cli watch austin-3br --since 7d --json

• drops — List active listings whose price dropped by N% in a window, OR whose days-on-market exceed a threshold.

  Pick this when timing the market or surfacing lowball candidates before tour scheduling.

  redfin-pp-cli drops --region-id 30772 --region-type 6 --since 7d --min-pct 3 --dom-min 30 --json

Local-store math

• rank — Rank synced listings by price-per-sqft, with optional HOA-fee subtraction over a 5-year horizon.

  Pick this when value-per-dollar is the goal and HOA-heavy condos must compete fairly against single-family.

  redfin-pp-cli rank --by price-per-sqft --net-hoa --region-id 30772 --region-type 6 --json --limit 25

Shortlist workflows

• compare — Pull 2-8 listings through the combined Stingray detail endpoint and emit aligned columnar output (price, $/sqft, beds, baths, lot, year, schools, AVM delta, last sale, taxes).

  Pick this when narrowing a shortlist; the wide table makes school-rating and AVM-delta differences obvious.

  redfin-pp-cli compare <your-listing-url> <another-listing-url> --json

• comps — For a subject listing, derive a circular polygon from --radius, run a sold-status search, filter by --sqft-tol and --bed-match, return the ranked comp set.

  Pick this when an agent needs to pull comparable sales for a buyer offer; collapses 20 minutes of polygon-clicking into one command.

  redfin-pp-cli comps <your-listing-url> --radius 0.5 --sqft-tol 15 --months 6 --bed-match --json

Cross-market joins

• rank — Union synced listings across multiple region slugs and rank across the entire set, deduped by listing URL.

  Pick this when an agent needs a single ranked feed across multiple metros without writing a fan-out loop.

  redfin-pp-cli rank --regions 30772,30773,30774 --by price-per-sqft --beds-min 3 --price-max 600000 --json --limit 25

• trends — Pull aggregate-trends for N regions and emit one tidy long table (region × month × metric) over a window.

  Pick this when a relocator is comparing cities and needs the medians overlaid on the same axis.

  redfin-pp-cli trends --regions 30743,18028,30739 --metric median-sale --period 24 --json

Bulk extraction

• export — Slice the price space into bands, page-walk gis-csv per band until each returns under 350 rows, dedupe on listing URL, emit one CSV/JSON.

  Pick this when you need every comp for a year, not the first 350 sorted by relevance.

  redfin-pp-cli export --region-slug "city/30772/TX/Austin" --status sold --year 2024 --csv > austin-sold-2024.csv

Aggregations

• summary — Single command: active count, pending count, sold-90d count, median list, median sold, median DOM, median $/sqft, % with price drops, plus a trends snapshot.

  Pick this when an agent needs the one-shot snapshot of a market for a buyer brief.

  redfin-pp-cli summary 30772:6 --json

• appreciation — For all child neighborhoods under a parent metro, call aggregate-trends and rank by YoY median-sale % change.

  Pick this when a relocator or investor needs the 'where in this metro is hottest' answer.

  redfin-pp-cli appreciation --parent "city/30772/TX/Austin" --period 12 --json --limit 10

HTTP Transport

This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

Discovery Signals

This CLI was generated with browser-observed traffic context.

• Capture coverage: 0 API entries from 0 total network entries
• Protocols: stingray-json-api (95% confidence)
• Generation hints: Strip the {}&& CSRF prefix from every Stingray JSON response before decoding, Use Surf with Chrome TLS fingerprint at runtime (UsesBrowserHTTPTransport), Conservative rate limit: 1 req/s default with adaptive backoff on 429, Stingray is geo-restricted to US IPs; doctor command should warn non-US users, Region IDs are visible in redfin.com URL paths (e.g., /city/30772/TX/Austin); region type 6=city, 1=zip, 11=neighborhood
• Candidate command ideas: homes — Stingray gis search is the primary entry point; listing — Listing detail composes initialInfo + aboveTheFold + belowTheFold; market — aggregate-trends endpoint exposes neighborhood medians
• Caveats: csrf-prefix: Stingray JSON responses are prefixed with the literal bytes '{}&&' as CSRF prevention. Generated client must strip them before json.Unmarshal.; geo-restricted: Stingray endpoints are US-only. Non-US callers will get 403 regardless of TLS fingerprint.

Command Reference

homes — Search Redfin homes for sale via the internal Stingray /api/gis JSON endpoint.
