Zillow Property Search Scraper

How does Zillow Property Search Scraper work?

The Zillow Property Search Scraper extracts real-time property listings from Zillow based on a location, which can be an address, neighborhood, city, or ZIP code. The data extracted includes property attributes such as street address, city, state, ZIP code, price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, living area, home type, home status, coordinates, Zestimate, rent Zestimate, tax assessed value, open house information, and the property identifier (zpid).

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 listing data.

The extraction process involves receiving input parameters for one or more searches, executing the search request with the provided filters for each entry, and returning structured JSON output containing the matching listings together with pagination information such as the number of results per page, the total number of pages, and the total result count.

Search results can be narrowed down using a wide range of filters, including listing status, listing type, price range, number of beds and baths, living area, lot size, year built, HOA fees, monthly payment, home type flags, view and amenity flags, rental-specific flags, school filters, days on Zillow, sorting, and pagination.

Input data

Input data must be provided in JSON format and must contain one mandatory array field "input". Each item in the array represents one search request and can include the following fields:

• location (Required): The location to search in. Can be an address, neighborhood, city, or ZIP code.
• status (Optional): Status type of the properties. Possible values: forSale (default), forRent, recentlySold.
• listing_type (Optional): Listing type. Possible values: by_agent (default), by_owner_other (for off market properties).
• sortSelection (Optional): Sorting of the result set. Possible values include days (Newest, default), priced (Price High to Low), pricea (Price Low to High), paymentd, paymenta, beds, baths, size, lot, zest, zesta, saved, listingstatus, mostrecentchange, globalrelevanceex, featured, priorityscore.
• startPage (Required): First page of the result set to retrieve (integer >= 1).
• endPage (Optional): Last page of the result set to retrieve. If omitted, the Actor keeps paginating until a page returns a 404 response or an empty results array.
• output (Optional): Output format. Possible values: json (default), csv (URL to the generated CSV file), xlsx (URL to the generated XLSX file).
• doz (Optional): Days on Zillow for sale/rent listings, or sold in last for sold listings. Possible values: any, 1, 7, 14, 30, 90, 6m, 12m, 24m, 36m.
• price_min / price_max (Optional): Minimum and maximum price.
• monthlyPayment_min / monthlyPayment_max (Optional): Minimum and maximum monthly payment.
• beds_min / beds_max (Optional): Minimum and maximum number of bedrooms.
• baths_min / baths_max (Optional): Minimum and maximum number of bathrooms.
• sqft_min / sqft_max (Optional): Minimum and maximum living area in sqft.
• lotSize_min / lotSize_max (Optional): Minimum and maximum lot size in sqft.
• built_min / built_max (Optional): Minimum and maximum year built.
• hoa_min / hoa_max (Optional): Minimum and maximum HOA fee.
• parkingSpots_min (Optional): Minimum number of parking spots.
• keywords (Optional): Free text keywords to filter listings.
• isSingleFamily, isMultiFamily, isCondo, isTownhouse, isApartment, isManufactured, isLotLand (Optional): Home type filters.
• isForSaleByAgent, isForSaleByOwner, isNewConstruction, isComingSoon, isAuction, isForSaleForeclosure, isZillowOwnedOnly (Optional): Listing category filters.
• hasAirConditioning, hasGarage, hasPool, singleStory, is3dHome, onlyWithPhotos, onlyPriceReduction (Optional): Feature filters.
• isWaterfront, isCityView, isMountainView, isParkView, isWaterView (Optional): View filters.
• onlyRentalPetsAllowed, onlyRentalCatsAllowed, onlyRentalSmallDogsAllowed, onlyRentalLargeDogsAllowed, onlyRentalIncomeRestricted, onlyRentalAcceptsApplications (Optional): Rental specific filters.
• enableSchools, isElementarySchool, isMiddleSchool, isPublicSchool, isPrivateSchool, greatSchoolsRating_min (Optional): School related filters.

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

Pagination

Each input entry is paginated from startPage to endPage. If endPage is not provided, the Actor continues requesting subsequent pages until one of the following stop conditions is met:

• the API responds with HTTP 404 (a dataset item with statusCode: 404 and statusMessage: "NOT_FOUND" is written for that page),
• the API responds with an empty results array,
• the last page reported by the API (totalPages) has been reached.

Example input

{
  "input": [
    {
      "location": "New York, NY 10001",
      "status": "forSale",
      "startPage": 1,
      "endPage": 2,
      "sortSelection": "days"
    },
    {
      "location": "Santa Monica, CA",
      "status": "forRent",
      "startPage": 1,
      "beds_min": 2,
      "price_max": 5000,
      "output": "json"
    },
    {
      "location": "New York, NY 10001",
      "status": "forSale",
      "startPage": 99
    }
  ]
}

The third entry requests a page beyond the last available page, which returns HTTP 404 and can be used to test the 404 output line.

Output data

Each property found lands as its own item in the dataset, together with the input parameters it originates from, the page it was found on, and the pagination metadata (resultsPerPage, totalPages, totalResultCount). If a page returns HTTP 404, a single item with statusCode: 404 and statusMessage: "NOT_FOUND" is written instead.
