Zillow Property Photos Scraper

How does Zillow Property Photos Scraper work?

The Zillow Property Photos Scraper extracts the full photo gallery for any property listed on Zillow, using either the property's ZPID or its details URL. The data extracted includes each photo's caption and multiple image sources in different formats (JPEG and WebP) and resolutions, allowing full-resolution and responsive images to be retrieved directly from Zillow.

This Actor performs live queries directly to Zillow, ensuring that all data returned is current and accurate at the time of the request. There is no caching involved, so every invocation retrieves fresh data.

The extraction process involves receiving input parameters for one or more properties, executing the photo retrieval for each property, and returning structured JSON output containing the photo gallery information.

Input data

Input data must be provided in JSON format and must contain one mandatory array field "input". Each item in the array represents a request for a specific property's photos and can include the following fields:

• zpid (Optional): The Zillow property ID, which uniquely identifies a property. The zpid can be extracted from the searching endpoints (/search, /search_url…), or from a property's URL.
• url (Optional): The property details URL, e.g., https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/15626-Laurel-Heights-Dr-Houston-TX-77084/28253016_zpid/.

Multiple properties can be queried in a single run by providing multiple entries in the "input" array.
