Bolt.new AI and Redfin integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2025

 

Integrating Redfin API in Your Bolt.new AI Project Using TypeScript

 

• In your Bolt.new AI project, create a new directory called integrations within your src folder to organize external API integrations.
• Create a new file named redfinIntegration.ts inside the src/integrations directory.

 

Creating the Redfin Integration Module

 

• Edit the redfinIntegration.ts file and add the following TypeScript code. This module defines a function to fetch property listings from Redfin by using the fetch API. Replace the YOURAPIKEY placeholder with your actual Redfin API key if you have one.

export async function fetchRedfinListings(location: string) {
  const baseUrl = 'https://api.redfin.com/v1/listings';
  // Replace 'YOURAPIKEY' with your actual API key if needed or configure it via a config file
  const apiKey = process.env.REDFINAPIKEY || 'YOURAPIKEY';

  try {
    const response = await fetch(${baseUrl}?location=${encodeURIComponent(location)}&apikey=${apiKey});
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(HTTP error! Status: ${response.status});
    }
    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching Redfin listings:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

• This function uses fetch to call the Redfin API endpoint with the given location parameter.
• If the request is successful, it returns the property listing data as JSON.
• If the request fails, an error is logged and thrown.

 

Configuring API Key in Code

 

• Since Bolt.new AI does not offer a terminal to install dependencies or set environment variables, you can manage your API key directly in the code.
• Create a new file named config.ts in your src directory to hold configuration variables.

// src/config.ts
export const REDFINAPIKEY = 'YOURACTUALREDFINAPIKEY_HERE';

• Then update the redfinIntegration.ts module to import this configuration:

import { REDFINAPIKEY } from '../config';

export async function fetchRedfinListings(location: string) {
  const baseUrl = 'https://api.redfin.com/v1/listings';
  const apiKey = REDFINAPIKEY;

  try {
    const response = await fetch(${baseUrl}?location=${encodeURIComponent(location)}&apikey=${apiKey});
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(HTTP error! Status: ${response.status});
    }
    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching Redfin listings:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

 

Using the Redfin Integration in Your Main Application

 

• Open your main project file where you want to incorporate Redfin data (for example, main.ts located in src).
• Import the fetchRedfinListings function from the integrations module.
• Call this function to retrieve Redfin listings, and handle the data as necessary for your application.

import { fetchRedfinListings } from './integrations/redfinIntegration';

async function integrateRedfin() {
  try {
    // Replace 'Seattle, WA' with the target location you need
    const listings = await fetchRedfinListings('Seattle, WA');
    console.log('Redfin Listings:', listings);
    // Further processing of listings can be done here
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to fetch listings from Redfin:', error);
  }
}

// Call the integration function where appropriate in your app initialization code
integrateRedfin();

• This code will call the Redfin API, log the listings to the console, and allow you to integrate the data further into your application workflow.

 

Finalizing the Integration

 

• Ensure all the above files (redfinIntegration.ts, config.ts, and your main file modifications) are saved within your Bolt.new AI project.
• No terminal commands are needed because dependencies (such as fetch) are available by default in modern JavaScript environments.
• Test the integration by running your project in Bolt.new AI and checking the console for output from the integrateRedfin function.
