JSON Decode Error

[SirWillae]

Tried running the sample code and got a JSON Decode error. Here is the stack trace:

I wasn't able to replicate the issue. Could you try using a VPN or a proxy to check if it works? It's working well on my side. What probably happened is that you were making multiple calls to Zillow's server, and it flagged your IP

I apologize. I just tried it again and it worked - without a VPN. The only thing I did differently is I created a new virtual environment, so I could send over a package list. So... don't know what to tell you. Sorry to waste your time.
