This provision allows Redfin to control programmatic access to its platform and database content. The restriction operates as a gating mechanism that requires users seeking automated access to undergo a separate authorization process rather than accessing the service through standard user channels.
Developers, researchers, and data professionals cannot legally scrape Redfin's platform for property data without written permission, and violation can result in immediate account termination and potential legal action under the CFAA or applicable IP laws.

"You may not automatedly crawl or query the Services for any purpose or by any means (including, without limitation, screen and database scraping, spiders, robots, crawlers and any other automated activity with the purpose of obtaining information from the Services) unless you have received prior express written permission from the applicable Redfin Company.— Excerpt from Redfin's Redfin Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Anti-scraping provisions implicate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA, 18 U.S.C. §1030), which prohibits unauthorized access to computer systems, though the Supreme Court's hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn decision (9th Cir., 938 F.3d 985, 2019) and Van Buren v. United States (593 U.S. 374, 2021) have narrowed CFAA's application to scraping of publicly accessible data. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. §1201) may also apply to circumvention of technical access controls. The DOJ and federal courts are primary enforcement venues. (2)
