Zillow Search Scraper

Scrape Zillow real-estate listings by location name or search URL. This Zillow scraper pulls every home off a Zillow Search Results Page with zpid, full address, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, photos, listing status, broker, coordinates, and 40+ further fields.

No Zillow API key, no login, and no headless browser. Results land in a structured dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or pull straight from the Apify API.

What is Zillow Search Scraper?

Zillow Search Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts real-estate search results from Zillow and returns them as clean, structured records. Point it at a city, a ZIP code, or a Zillow URL you have already filtered in the browser, and every filter in that URL is honoured. slimOutput trims the payload when you only need the core columns.

How much does it cost to scrape Zillow?

This Actor runs on pay per result pricing: $0.001 per listing ($1 per 1,000). A one-time start fee of $0.005 applies per run.

Results	Approximate cost
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.01
100,000	$100.00

You pay for rows you actually receive, so a search that returns nothing costs nothing beyond the start fee. Every Apify account includes free monthly usage credit, so you can trial Zillow Search Scraper at no cost.

What can you build with Zillow data?

Build a market inventory feed

Pull every active listing in a metro daily and diff it to detect new listings, price cuts, and pendings the morning they happen rather than a week later.

Generate seller and investor lead lists

Filter to listings with long days-on-market or repeated price reductions — the clearest public signal of a motivated seller.

Feed an automated valuation model

zpid, coordinates, beds, baths, square footage, and price across a whole market is the training frame most AVMs start from.

Monitor rental supply and asking rents

Rental rows carry base rent ranges and unit counts, so you can track how much rental inventory a submarket is absorbing month over month.

Power a real-estate search product

Photos, status, address, and price come back structured enough to render a listings UI directly off the dataset.

Zillow scraping tips and limits

• Zillow's own search caps how deep it paginates. For full coverage of a large metro, split by ZIP code or draw several smaller map regions rather than one broad query.
• Use a filtered Zillow URL from your browser — price, beds, home type, and sold-status filters all carry through.
• Pair with Zillow Detail Scraper using the zpid field to enrich only the homes worth the extra cost.
• Sold and off-market rows behave differently from active ones. Check statusType before treating every row as for-sale inventory.

Integrations and automation

Run Zillow Search Scraper on a schedule to keep a Zillow dataset fresh, or trigger it from your own stack through the Apify API and the official JavaScript and Python clients. Native integrations push results into Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable, Zapier, Make, GitHub, or any webhook endpoint. The Actor also works as an MCP tool, so an AI agent can call it directly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I scrape Zillow without getting blocked?

This Actor handles the request shaping and proxy rotation for you, and the default proxy configuration is already tuned for Zillow. Very aggressive concurrency is the usual cause of trouble, so raise maxConcurrency gradually.

How do I get full property details, not just search rows?

Take the zpid from any search row and feed it to Zillow Detail Scraper, which returns 99 to 141 fields per home including price history, tax history, and schools.

Do I need a Zillow API key?

No. Zillow Search Scraper reads publicly available Zillow pages and endpoints directly, so there is no key to obtain, no OAuth app to register, and no account to connect.

Can I export Zillow data to CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets?

Yes. Every run stores results in an Apify dataset that exports to JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML with one click, and the Google Sheets integration writes rows straight into a spreadsheet.

Can I run Zillow Search Scraper on a schedule?

Yes. Apify schedules run the Actor hourly, daily, weekly, or on any cron expression, and webhooks can notify your systems the moment a run finishes.

Is it legal to scrape Zillow?

Scraping publicly available data is broadly lawful in the US and EU, but the answer depends on what you collect and how you use it. This Actor is built to gather public property listing information Zillow publishes publicly, including agent and broker names. Personal data carries extra obligations under GDPR and CCPA. Read Apify's guide on whether web scraping is legal and take your own legal advice for your use case.
