Real Estate Scout

Evaluate any address or location for home buyers and renters. Combines location context analysis with targeted amenity searches to surface nearby schools, transit, grocery stores, parks, restaurants, and walkability insights.

Setup

These skills shell out to curl and authenticate via the CAMINO_API_KEY environment variable. Sign up at https://app.getcamino.ai/skills/activate for 100 free calls/month and an API key.

Add your key to Claude Code:

Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "CAMINO_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
  }
}

Restart Claude Code.

Alternative — pay-per-request via x402: Camino's paid endpoints also accept HTTP 402 payments in USDC on Base ($0.001/request) from any x402-capable client, with no signup or API key. These skills don't use this path; it's for agents and clients that speak x402 natively.

Usage

Via Shell Script

# Evaluate an address
./scripts/real-estate.sh '{"address": "742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield", "radius": 1000}'

# Evaluate with coordinates
./scripts/real-estate.sh '{"location": {"lat": 40.7589, "lon": -73.9851}, "radius": 1500}'

# Evaluate with smaller radius for dense urban area
./scripts/real-estate.sh '{"address": "350 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY", "radius": 500}'

Via curl

# Step 1: Geocode the address
curl -H "X-API-Key: $CAMINO_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.getcamino.ai/query?query=742+Evergreen+Terrace+Springfield&limit=1"

# Step 2: Get context with real estate focus
curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: $CAMINO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"location": {"lat": 40.7589, "lon": -73.9851}, "radius": 1000, "context": "real estate evaluation: schools, transit, grocery, parks, restaurants, walkability"}' \
  "https://api.getcamino.ai/context"

}

Examples

Evaluate a suburban address

./scripts/real-estate.sh '{"address": "123 Oak Street, Palo Alto, CA", "radius": 1500}'

Evaluate an urban apartment

./scripts/real-estate.sh '{"location": {"lat": 40.7484, "lon": -73.9857}, "radius": 800}'

Evaluate a neighborhood by coordinates

./scripts/real-estate.sh '{"location": {"lat": 37.7749, "lon": -122.4194}, "radius": 2000}'

Best Practices

• Use address for street addresses; the script will geocode them automatically
• Use location with lat/lon when you already have coordinates
• Start with a 1000m radius for suburban areas, 500m for dense urban areas
• Combine with the camino-relationship skill to calculate commute distances to workplaces
• Combine with the camino-route skill to estimate travel times to key destinations
• Use the camino-school-finder skill for more detailed school searches
