Zillow Search by Polygon Scraper

How does Zillow Search by Polygon Scraper work?

The Zillow Search by Polygon Scraper retrieves real-time property listings located within a custom map area, defined by a set of polygon coordinates. The data extracted for each property includes attributes such as address, price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, living area, home type, listing status, and Zestimate, among other real estate details.

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 a polygon, together with optional filters such as price, beds, baths, status, and sorting, for one or more search requests, executing the data retrieval for each polygon, and returning structured JSON output containing the matching property listings.

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 polygon search request and is sent 1:1 as the JSON request body of the search. Every field listed below is supported:

Polygon format

The polygon is an array of coordinate pairs, each pair being [latitude, longitude]:

"polygon": [
  [28.9520687326739, -81.9596345263672],
  [28.9544720326552, -81.9939668017578],
  [28.9532703896359, -82.0282990771485],
  [28.9520687326739, -81.9596345263672]
]

The first coordinate pair must be repeated as the last pair to close the shape. At least three distinct points are needed to describe an area. Very narrow polygons or areas without listings return an empty result set.

Multiple polygon searches can be processed in a single run by providing multiple entries in the "input" array. Combining many filters at once narrows the search considerably and may return no results.
