Automate Trulia

Turn the repetitive Trulia work you do by hand (search an area, open a listing) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

why

Stop doing Trulia by hand

The Trulia tasks you repeat (search an area, open a listing, extract listing fields) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Trulia has no general public API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Trulia has no general public API for its search and listing detail data.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Trulia task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Trulia tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Trulia action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }search an area
{ }open a listing
{ }extract listing fields
{ }page through results

Workflows extract structured fields such as list price, beds/baths, square footage, days on market along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Trulia automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

Record itDo the Trulia task once in a real browser (search an area, then open a listing) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Trulia in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Trulia's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Trulia

The reason Trulia is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Trulia listing pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture fields that load dynamically.

Run the Trulia automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

On a scheduleRun the Trulia task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
On a changeWatch Trulia for new listing or price change and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Trulia workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Trulia changes. It runs on your own Trulia account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/trulia/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Trulia automation too.

Trigger the Trulia automation on a change

Monitor Trulia for new listing, price change, status change to pending and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Trulia automation in seconds. Monitor Trulia ▸

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Trulia even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.

The same Trulia automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Trulia for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/trulia/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Trulia task too.

Automating Trulia: questions

How do I automate Trulia?
Record the Trulia task once in the recorder (search an area, open a listing, extract listing fields) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Trulia account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Trulia this way?
Collect Trulia data you have the right to access and respect its Terms of Use and rate limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Trulia automation work behind login and 2FA?
Trulia listing pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture fields that load dynamically. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Trulia session.
Can I run the Trulia automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Trulia is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
