## Status Codes

The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of a request.

*   **200 OK:** The request was successful, and the response body contains the requested data.
*   **201 Created:** (Not typically returned by this GET-only API) Indicates a resource was successfully created.
*   **400 Bad Request:** The request was malformed or contained invalid parameters. Check your request body, headers, and query parameters against the documentation.
*   **401 Unauthorized:** Authentication failed. Your API key is either missing or invalid. Verify that your `x-api-market-key` header is correctly set.
*   **403 Forbidden:** The API key is valid, but the associated account does not have permission to access the requested resource or perform the action.
*   **404 Not Found:** The requested resource could not be found. This might indicate an incorrect endpoint path.
*   **429 Too Many Requests:** You have exceeded your rate limit. Slow down your requests and implement a retry mechanism.
*   **500 Internal Server Error:** An unexpected error occurred on the API server. This is usually a transient issue.
*   **503 Service Unavailable:** The API is temporarily unable to handle the request due to maintenance or high load.

## Rate Limits

Rate limits are implemented to ensure fair usage and service stability. If your application exceeds the allocated rate limit, you will receive a `429 Too Many Requests` HTTP error. The specific limits are dependent on your API subscription plan. It is recommended to implement exponential backoff with jitter for retries when encountering `429` errors.




## FAQ

**Q: What data sources does the API use for property valuation?**

A: The API uses a combination of address data, market data, and property characteristics to generate its valuation estimates.

**Q: How accurate are the property valuation estimates?**

A: The accuracy of the estimates depends on the availability and quality of the underlying data for the specific property and market. The API provides an estimated value along with a low and high range to reflect potential variability and confidence.

**Q: What do I do if I receive an "Internal Server Error" (500)?**

A: An "Internal Server Error" usually indicates a transient issue on the API server. It is recommended to wait a few minutes and retry your request. If the problem persists after several attempts, please contact support.

**Q: Is the API synchronous or asynchronous?**

A: The Home Valuation API is synchronous. Each GET request to the `/home-value-estimate` endpoint will directly return the valuation result in the response.
