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 relationship skill to calculate commute distances to workplaces
• Combine with the route skill to estimate travel times to key destinations
• Use the school-finder skill for more detailed school searches
