Shiny Real Estate with Zillow API (Free Course)

Written by Matt Dancho


Zillow is a FREE TOOL with an API that allows Data Scientists to connect to a massive repository of Home Prices and Features. In this lab, we use Shiny, Crosstalk, and Zillow API to create an ML-powered Zillow Home Price Explanation tool.

This is an amazing, end-to-end data science lab. Follow along, and learn how I built a Shiny Real Estate App that uses XGBoost, DALEX, Crosstalk, Plotly, Leaflet, and more!
