Thanks!
The API is limited to 1000 requests per day. (they are open to increasing this limit but not without an audit of your infrastructure) . Also you are absolutely not allowed to store any data that you get with it. It is my understanding that the Zillow API is meant to be used as an add on to your own web site where you pull in and display additional property information from Zillow. Like Stephen was saying, Zillow tends to have some additional property information. A lot of the time, full scope building data ( bedrooms, bathrooms, furnace type ...) is not available on the county assessors site. This data only becomes available when the home is put up for sale which is why Zillow beats almost everyone in this category.
AttomData has a few more data sources than zillow and they licence their data for resale similar to landgrid ( I'm sure you can just get a regular consumer grade API from them as well). Although I've never seen pricing from them, I imagine its pretty expensive.
If you find that the Zillow API is not for you, check out homejunction or landgrid. They provide data on a county by county basis, but all the datapoints that you would get from zillow may not be there ( comps, estimates, recent sales, ...). What datapoints are you guys after?
