Get properties assessed between a range of values
In this example, we are retrieving houses that have been assessed between $500,000 and $600,000 in Calgary, for the year 2023. Setting 'filter_expand_match=all' ensures we only return properties that have assessment data. We are also selecting some fields for each property - the latitude, longitude, community, and the size of the interior in square meters. We are then limiting the results per each page to 3.
