Putting our content where our blog text is
All this talk about finding interesting data and mashing it together and pinning it down to a map - if you don't mind the rough housing description - may make you wonder what Nestoria is doing to promote this sort of thing – apart from getting excited about it on the blog. Nestoria is putting its content where it's blog text is, by making our API available to developers interested in mashing or layering it up or using it to create something new and exciting on the web.
The Nestoria API has been around since the early days when you could get a thumbnail, details of the property and a link for more information, but it's undergone a lot of improvements and updates since then; including increasing the image sizes and allowing different kinds of search filtering, from highest and lowest prices to land size or number of bathrooms.
The Nestoria team have watched with interest and sometimes excitement as a whole range of cool things have been done with the data on the API, the current faves are iphone applications UKProperty, Locati and Property Near Me.

As yet no one has mashed up Nestoria's average house price data, and some senior members of the Nestoria team would love to see that happen if anyone has any ideas...
If you're not a developer the API might sound a bit beyond you, but that's not going to stop you from having your own co-branded version of Nestoria onto which you can cut and paste property lists and listings and embed dropin maps into – this is all available at the exceptional good value price of free.
As of yet the Australian site isn't accessible, but it's only a matter of time.
