Given a redfin.com house listing URL, save all full-size images

save-redfin-listing-images-bashrc

# usage: redfin-images "http://www.redfin.com/WA/Seattle/123-Home-Row-12345/home/1234567"
function redfin-images() {
 wget -O - $1 | grep "full:" | awk -F \" '{print $4}' | xargs wget -
}

save-redfin-listing-images.sh

wget -O - http://www.redfin.com/WA/Seattle/123-Home-Row-12345/home/1234567 | grep "full:" | awk -F \" '{print $4}' | xargs wget -

@gauravchak managed to make it work for listings that require signing in, by using the method outlined here: How do I use wget/curl to download from a site I am logged into?.

1. Logged into Redfin in Firefox.
2. Open "Network" tab of Web Developer tool: Ctrl-Shift-E
3. I took the very first request that was sent when I refreshed the screen on Firefox.
4. Pasted it in Sublime, and saw a large amount of cookie values in there. To figure out where cookies started and stopped, I just searched for "-H" in the file and took what was there for cookies only. I took everything that was in between 'Cookie: key1=value1; key2=value2; [....]; keyn=valuen'
5. Recreated the wget command as such:
   wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: key1=value1; key2=value2; [....]; keyn=valuen" --user-agent="Mozilla" -O - <RedFinURL> | egrep -o "https:\\\\u002F\\\\u002Fssl.cdn-redfin.com\\\\u002Fphoto\\\\u002F\d*\\\\u002Fbigphoto\\\\u002F\d*\\\\u002F[A-Z0-9_]*.jpg" | ascii2uni -Z '\u%04X' | xargs wget --user-agent="Mozilla"

And that did the trick. Hope that helps.

@punjabdhaputar Thanks, it works for me.

Redfin seems to be blocking this now, getting 403 Forbiden

I created a lil Go program to do this https://github.com/timendez/go-redfin-archiver

Clone repo, and just run e.g. go run archive.go https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Jose/206-Grayson-Ter-95126/home/2122534

@timendez I just tried your Go program and it worked great. Nice work!

For anyone else who encounters this gist: Strongly consider using @timendez's program instead: https://github.com/timendez/go-redfin-archiver

⬆️ @timendez's program still works in 2025, Thanks !!

go script still works in 2026, thanks!
