They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### How does Zillow Similar Rental Properties Scraper work? The Zillow Similar Rental Properties Scraper extracts real-time listings of comparable rental homes located near a given property on Zillow. The property can be identified by its ZPID or its property details URL. The data extracted for each comparable rental includes address, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, living area, home type, status, listing agent details, and photos. 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 similar rental listings retrieval for each property, and returning structured JSON output containing the comparable rental data. ### 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 and can include the following fields: - `zpid` (Optional): The Zillow property ID, which uniquely identifies a property. The zpid can be obtained from search endpoints or from the property URL. - `url` (Optional): The full URL to the property details page on Zillow. For example, a URL like https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/15626-Laurel-Heights-Dr-Houston-TX-77084/28253016\_zpid/ can be provided. At least one of `zpid` or `url` should be provided per item. Multiple properties can be queried in a single run by providing multiple entries in the "input" array. #### Example input ```json { "input": [ { "zpid": "28253016", "url": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/15626-Laurel-Heights-Dr-Houston-TX-77084/28253016_zpid/" } ] } ``` ### Output data Each row in the output represents one comparable rental property. The fields `inputZpid` and `inputUrl` echo the input entry that produced the row, so when multiple entries are queried in a single run every result can be attributed to its originating request. ```json { "results": [ { "address": { "city": "Houston", "state": "TX", "streetAddress": "7222 Saint Augustine St", "zipcode": "77021" }, "attributionInfo": { "agentName": "Shayne Singer", "agentPhoneNumber": null, "brokerName": null, "brokerPhoneNumber": null, "mlsId": "97452520", "mlsName": null, "providerLogo": null, "trueStatus": null }, "bathrooms": 2, "bedrooms": 4, "currency": "USD", "hdpUrl": "/homedetails/7222-Saint-Augustine-St-Houston-TX-77021/27779860_zpid/", "homeStatus": "FOR_RENT", "homeType": "SINGLE_FAMILY", "latitude": 29.685062, "livingArea": 1435, "livingAreaUnits": "Square Feet", "longitude": -95.36182, "lotSize": null, "miniCardPhotos": [ { "url": "https://photos.zillowstatic.com/fp/29ff590d1e091e34c54e995a850ad8ed-p_c.jpg" } ], "price": 1600, "providerListingID": "31xnwpjktuh4q", "state": "TX", "zpid": 27779860 }, { "address": { "city": "Houston", "state": "TX", "streetAddress": "2110 Nettleton St", "zipcode": "77004" }, "attributionInfo": { "agentName": "Richard Smaile", "agentPhoneNumber": null, "brokerName": null, "brokerPhoneNumber": null, "mlsId": "12286172", "mlsName": null, "providerLogo": null, "trueStatus": null }, "bathrooms": 2.5, "bedrooms": 3, "currency": "USD", "hdpUrl": "/homedetails/2110-Nettleton-St-Houston-TX-77004/68408988_zpid/", "homeStatus": "FOR_RENT", "homeType": "SINGLE_FAMILY", "latitude": 29.737957, "livingArea": 1287, "livingAreaUnits": "Square Feet", "longitude": -95.35337, "lotSize": null, "miniCardPhotos": [ { "url": "https://photos.zillowstatic.com/fp/2c9943e2bd15d511552c6351e1afc8c5-p_c.jpg" } ], "price": 1900, "providerListingID": "8saqed8jdmu2", "state": "TX", "zpid": 68408988 } ] } ``` ### How much does Zillow Similar Rental Properties Scraper cost? Estimating the cost for this Actor depends on the volume of data and number of similar rental requests. It is recommended to perform a test run with a small input sample to determine the cost for your specific requirements. The cost can then be extrapolated based on your total expected usage. ### What to consider when using this Actor? This Actor integrates the full lifecycle of web data extraction ensuring stability and reliability: 1. **Proxy Rotation:** Uses a large proxy pool to avoid blocks by Zillow, ensuring smooth data retrieval. 2. **Geo Targeting:** Determines appropriate proxy location based on the provided URLs or property locations to minimize geo-restriction issues. 3. **Captcha and Blocking Handling:** Automatically manages captchas or temporary access blocks without user intervention. 4. **Stability and Reliability:** Designed to handle large scale requests with error handling and retries for consistent and dependable operation. ### More Zillow Actors by Axesso Looking for a different slice of Zillow data?
