Find the agents in a market
Say this to your agent
>search agents in <market> with zillow on monid and give me the twelve-month sale count for each. teams and individuals are mixed on every page, so separate them by the TEAM tag on each card rather than by the label under the number: the label has four different wordings including a singular one and a no-sales one, and a parser keyed to a single string silently drops rows

Who is on each pagecards of fifteen
the pages are mixed, not splitan earlier version of this page said page one is all teams and individuals start on page two. On two other markets page one ran 11 teams to 4 individuals and 13 to 2, and page two ran the other way. The split is per card, and you have to make it yourself on every page
and the numbers are team numbers on team cardsa card reading 2,413 sales in twelve months is a team's twelve months; read as one person's production it is wrong by the size of the team
the tag is the tell, not the labelevery card carries a TEAM tag, which agreed with the label on all seventy-five cards checked. The label is the worse of the two: it has four wordings, going singular at one sale and reading no sales last 12 months with a null value, so a regex on one string drops rows silently
and the ranges overlap almost completelya page-two team outsold thirteen of the fifteen page-one cards, so page position is not a proxy for size either

The same market, two providerswhat each returns
one provider countseach card carries a labelled array with a twelve-month sale count, sales in this metro and a price range, plus a numeric review average and count
the other does notchecked across every key on its record, there is not one countable production figure; it is a directory of names and contact fields rather than a ranking
they do not agree on how many agents exist2.4% apart on the first market and 24.6% apart on a second, so quote which provider's count you used rather than treating either as the number
the top-agent flag is real but positionalit is commoner on page one than page two on both markets, six of fifteen against one of fifteen on the second, so it ranks rather than describes
the directory really is a directorythe second provider's agent rows carry seven keys, none of them countable, and its profile record is under half a kilobyte of contact details and two award badges. This one held on a second market

One agent's track record
Say this to your agent
>get the profile for <agent id> with zillow on monid. take the lifetime sales figure from the past-sales total field, which is a plain integer, then count the individual records it actually returned: it gives you five, whatever the lifetime figure says, and there is no page parameter to push it

Lifetime total against records returnedtransactions
what you getthe sales statistics, past sales, reviews, licences, service areas and current listings, in a 62 to 68 KB response for a cent
the total is a field, not header textthe lifetime count is a clean integer on the past-sales object, so parse it rather than reading a sentence
the detail is capped at fivean earlier version of this page said a hundred sales and a hundred listings. It is FIVE of each, on a fifteen-thousand-sale team and a thousand-sale individual alike, which is three hundredths of one percent rather than the one percent this page claimed, and no page parameter exists to reach further
the second provider can be reachedits profile endpoint was blocked on both of the first attempts and answered on the next, which is exactly what the blocked-provider sentence on this page predicts

days on market IS there, nestedan earlier version of this page said no row carries it. It is on every row, as an integer, inside the home-info object, with a milliseconds version beside it. Whoever wrote that sentence read only the top-level keys, and a reader who believed it buys a $0.05 endpoint for a number already in hand
the cheap second opinion is also a thinner onethe other provider's property search is a fifth of the price and its rows carry eight keys against this one's ninety-six, so it is cheaper and smaller rather than cheaper and equal

What each provider did on our runruns
the payload is identical every timea 503 saying site protection is blocking all proxies, with three upstream attempts already made and a retry-after of sixty seconds
and it is freeall nine blocked calls billed $0.0000, so the failure costs the round trip and nothing else
it is intermittent, not structuralone endpoint returned 48 agents and billed $0.02 at one minute, then came back blocked twice ten minutes later
the block is per endpoint, not per providerone of that provider's endpoints answered first try while another was blocked in the same minute, so a single block is not a reason to drop the provider
what that means for a jobretry on a schedule rather than falling back permanently, and never report a provider as unavailable from a single attempt. Recovery took two to three attempts on both endpoints tested
$0.00nine blocked calls
An empty market and a wrong one
Say this to your agent
>if a market search comes back with a null location label, a null result count and an empty array, read it as one thing: the resolver did not recognise your location string. do NOT check whether the label matches what you asked for, because a real place the resolver cannot parse returns a null label too and that check would call it a typo

what an unresolved place returnsan empty agent array, a null result count and a null location label, cleanly and without an error, billed nothing
and a REAL place can return exactly thata genuine census-designated place in Hawaii came back with the same null triple as an invented name. So the guard an earlier version of this page recommended, asserting the label equals what you asked for, rejects a valid input as a typo
the premise under it could not be builtwe could not find a resolved location with no agents: a village of one person returned eleven, a town of four returned seventy-nine, a settlement of twelve returned sixteen, because the provider returns agents SERVING the area. So the null triple means the resolver failed, and nothing else
which makes it simpler, not hardera non-null label does mean the market resolved, so read the label as a resolution flag rather than as something to compare against your input
and it billed nothingthe empty result cost $0.0000, which is the aisle behaving correctly
$0.00the empty was free
Step 3
Take the cheapest route with Monid.
A cent gets you agents with real sale counts. The work is splitting teams from individuals on every page, and retrying the endpoint that was blocked rather than dropping the provider.

Say this to your agent
>find the agents in each of these markets and tell me which figures are team totals: <paste markets>
“split on the tag, not the label”the tag agreed on all 75 cards while the label has four wordings, one of them a null-valued no-sales string
“look inside the row”days on market is nested in the home-info object, and reading only the top-level keys made this page call it missing
“retry a blocked provider”the same endpoint worked, then was blocked ten minutes later, and the block billed nothing
“read the null label as unresolved”a real Hawaiian place returned the same null triple as an invented one, so matching the label against your input rejects valid markets
“never size a loop from the total”the page number is silently clamped at 25, so only 375 of a market's agents are reachable and a loop past it re-buys the same page
One key. 1,700+ tools.
Three providers, and site protection blocks them per endpoint rather than per provider.
