A basic Python script that queries the Zillow.com's API for mortgage rates and push that data to a graphite server. This script is designed to be ran once a day since rates change once a day.
Simply install the requirements in requirements.txt:
pip install -r requirements.txt
All options are set using command line arguments. The only one the is required is the --zws-id which can be obtained from Zillow.
$ ./mortgagerate2graphite.py -h
usage: mortgagerate2graphite.py [-h] [--graphite-host GRAPHITE_HOST]
[--graphite-prefix GRAPHITE_PREFIX]
[--state STATE] --zws-id ZWS_ID
Push mortgage rates to graphite
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--graphite-host GRAPHITE_HOST, -g GRAPHITE_HOST
Graphite host to send mortgage rates
--graphite-prefix GRAPHITE_PREFIX, -p GRAPHITE_PREFIX
Prefix to prepend to graphite metric name
--state STATE, -s STATE
Which state do you want mortgage rates
--zws-id ZWS_ID, -z ZWS_ID
zws-id for use with the Zillow.com API
There are currently no tests since this is a very basic script. If it becomes more complicated with more logic, then I will add tests.
