1. Snag a Listing by URL: Eager to fetch a real estate listing from a specific URL? Here’s your script:
   

   import http.client
   
   conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("trulia-real-estate-scraper.p.rapidapi.com")
   headers = {
       'X-RapidAPI-Key': "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
       'X-RapidAPI-Host': "trulia-real-estate-scraper.p.rapidapi.com"
   }
   
   conn.request("GET", "/homes/listing_by_url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.trulia.com%2FAZ%2FScottsdale%2F&page=1", headers=headers)
   res = conn.getresponse()
   data = res.read()
   print(data.decode("utf-8"))

   
   2. Create a Search Token: Need to start your search queries? First, generate a token based on your search preferences.
   
   

   import http.client
   
   conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("trulia-real-estate-scraper.p.rapidapi.com")
   headers = {
       'X-RapidAPI-Key': "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
       'X-RapidAPI-Host': "trulia-real-estate-scraper.p.rapidapi.com"
   }
   
   conn.request("GET", "/search/token?search_type=for_sale&place=Scottsdale", headers=headers)
   res = conn.getresponse()
   data = res.read()
   print(data.decode("utf-8"))
   
   
   

   3. Deploy the Token for Property Searches: With your token ready, explore properties up for grabs.

   import http.client
   
   conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("trulia-real-estate-scraper.p.rapidapi.com")
   headers = {
       'X-RapidAPI-Key': "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
       'X-RapidAPI-Host': "trulia-real-estate-scraper.p.rapidapi.com"
   }
   
   conn.request("GET", "/search/for_sale?search_token=<YOUR_SEARCH_TOKEN>&page=1&listing=<LISTING_DETAILS>", headers=headers)
   res = conn.getresponse()
   data = res.read()
   print(data.decode("utf-8"))

   4. Dig Into Detailed Property Info: Curious about what lies behind the doors of a specific property? Fetch its details like so:

   import http.client
