You cannot use automated tools to collect data from Redfin's website or app unless Redfin has given you specific written permission to do so.
This analysis describes what Redfin's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This restriction applies to researchers, journalists, and developers who may wish to analyze Redfin's publicly displayed real estate data; violation of this provision could expose them to legal action under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act or state equivalents.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of anti-scraping provisions against automated access to publicly displayed data is legally contested following federal court decisions such as hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn; application varies by jurisdiction and fact pattern.
For most consumers this provision has no practical impact, but for developers, researchers, or businesses attempting to programmatically access Redfin's property data, it creates significant legal exposure if done without written authorization.

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Anti-scraping provisions in online platforms engage the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and potentially the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The enforceability of such provisions against public-data scraping has been contested in federal courts, most notably in hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn, where the Ninth Circuit limited CFAA application to publicly accessible data. The FTC has also weighed in on data access restrictions that may harm competition or consumer interests. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium for institutional users. The restriction is broader than a narrow anti-malicious-use rule; it covers 'any purpose,' which may include legitimate research, journalism, or competitive analysis. The enforceability of this broad prohibition against accessing publicly displayed information is legally uncertain following recent federal court decisions. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn decision is particularly relevant given Redfin's Seattle headquarters and primary US operations. Organizations in California and other jurisdictions within the Ninth Circuit may have stronger arguments that automated access to publicly displayed data does not violate the CFAA. International users face varying legal frameworks regarding automated data access. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Technology vendors, data aggregators, and proptech companies that aggregate real estate data should conduct legal review before accessing Redfin's platform programmatically, even if the data is publicly visible. Procurement teams should note that any data partnership with Redfin will likely require a separate written agreement to permit authorized data access. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations that have historically scraped or programmatically accessed Redfin's data without written authorization should assess their legal exposure under this provision and seek written authorization or cease such activities. Journalistic and academic use cases should be evaluated against the specific legal landscape in the relevant jurisdiction.
