# Pricefinder

> Australian property intelligence and valuation platform (pricefinder.com.au), a brand of Domain Holdings Australia — acquired by CoStar Group in August 2025. Supplies property records, comparable sales and rental history, suburb statistics, AVM price estimates and CMA/appraisal reports to real estate agencies, mortgage brokers, banks and lenders, valuers, property developers, advisory firms and government. Blends Domain and Allhomes first-party listing feeds with state and territory government land valuation and sales data.

Generated by API Evangelist on 2026-07-26. Pricefinder publishes no llms.txt of its own
(probed https://www.pricefinder.com.au/llms.txt and https://api.pricefinder.com.au/llms.txt,
2026-07-26) — this file is generated from the provider's own published contract and from
the artifacts in the api-evangelist/pricefinder repository.

## What an agent needs to know first

- **The contract is public; the data is not.** A complete Swagger 2.0 document (v1.13.1, 112 paths, 116 operations, 188 definitions, 19 tags) and a live Swagger UI are served anonymously from api.pricefinder.com.au. Every data path returns **401** without a token.
- **There is no self-serve signup, no free tier, no sandbox and no trial key.** Credentials are issued only under a sales-negotiated commercial subscription with a minimum one-month term, governed by the Domain Group API Terms and Conditions.
- **Auth is OAuth 2.0** — client_credentials, authorization_code (hosted authorize page) and refresh_token — but the contract declares **no securityDefinitions**; the whole model is HTML prose inside the `POST /oauth2/token` description.
- **No OAuth scopes exist.** Entitlement is discovered at runtime via `GET /features` (operationId `getFeatures`, schema `UserFeatures`). Call it first.
- **Read-mostly.** 109 of 116 operations are reads. There is no write path into properties, listings, sales or valuations, and no payment or settlement surface.
- **No pagination, no idempotency, no rate-limit signalling, no request-id, no changelog, no status page, no webhooks.**
- **Read `messages[]` on every 200.** Data-quality and jurisdictional-suppression notices ride inside success payloads; a 200 does not mean a complete answer.

## Optional

- Australia has **no MLS and no RESO regime**. No RESO Web API certification, no Data Dictionary certification, no OData `$metadata` document and no Universal Property Identifier appear anywhere in Pricefinder's contract or documentation. Identity is a proprietary integer `propertyId`, joined to land title through 25 bespoke per-state lookup paths.
- Nothing Pricefinder serves is open data. Underlying government sources may be open in their own right, but Pricefinder republishes them only under a paid licence, and ownership detail is restricted ("Available for WA, QLD, NSW, VIC. Restrictions apply.").
- Sale price and sale date are wrapper types (`SensitivePrice`, `SensitiveDate`) that may be legally withheld — the data model encodes Australian jurisdictional disclosure law directly. Every entity carries a `disclaimer` field, so licensing text travels with the payload.
