It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## 🏢 Zillow Rentals Scraper - Apartments, Units & Rent Prices Pull rental listings from Zillow by city, ZIP code or search URL. Each row is one apartment building or one home for rent, with its rent range, floor plans, individual units, leasing phone and move-in specials. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n. ### 🔎 What is the Zillow Rentals Scraper? It is an Apify Actor that reads Zillow's rental search for the places you name and then opens each listing page for the details. You get the same data a renter sees on Zillow, as structured rows instead of web pages. A search for "Austin, TX" returns apartment communities such as Edison Austin with 12 floor plans, every available unit and the leasing office phone. A search limited to houses returns single homes with the listed rent, Zillow's rent estimate and the rent history. No browser is started and no third-party unblocker is used, so runs are quick. In our tests 10 listings with full details took about 7 seconds, and 300 listings across Chicago and Houston took about 100 seconds. #### What data does it extract? - **Listing identity:** `listingId`, `listingType` (building or home), `name`, `url` - **Location:** `address`, `street`, `city`, `state`, `zip`, `neighborhood`, `county`, `latitude`, `longitude` - **Rent:** `rentMin` and `rentMax` (advertised monthly price), `baseRentMin` and `baseRentMax` (before required monthly fees), `unitTypes` with the starting rent per bedroom count - **Size:** `bedsMin`, `bedsMax`, `baths`, `sqft` - **Availability:** `unitsAvailable`, `totalUnits`, `availableFrom` - **Floor plans and units:** `floorPlans[]` with name, beds, baths, sqft, rent range, lease term and a `units[]` list (unit number, rent, sqft, available date) - **Contact:** `phone`, `leasingContact`, and for single homes `agentName` and `brokerName` when Zillow lists them - **Offers and rules:** `moveInSpecials`, `petPolicy` (fees and limits per pet type), `allowedPets`, `fees`, `leaseTerm` - **Extras:** `amenities`, `description`, `walkScore`, `transitScore`, `bikeScore`, `yearBuilt`, `daysOnZillow`, `rentZestimate`, `priceHistory`, `photoCount`, `imageUrl`, `has3DTour` `detailsLoaded` tells you whether the listing page was read. If it is `false`, the row holds the search data only. ### ⬇️ Input | Field | Type | What it does | |---|---|---| | `locations` | array | Cities ("Austin, TX"), ZIP codes ("78704") or full Zillow rental search URLs | | `maxResults` | integer | Maximum listings to save across all locations | | `minRent`, `maxRent` | integer | Monthly rent range in dollars | | `minBeds`, `minBaths` | integer | Minimum bedrooms and bathrooms | | `propertyType` | string | `any`, `apartments`, `houses` or `townhomes` | | `includeDetails` | boolean | Open each listing for floor plans, units, phone, specials and pet policy. On by default | Filters apply to cities and ZIP codes. A pasted Zillow URL keeps the filters it already contains, which is handy when you have set up a search on zillow.com by hand. #### Example input ```json { "locations": ["Austin, TX", "78704"], "maxResults": 100, "maxRent": 2500, "minBeds": 2, "propertyType": "apartments", "includeDetails": true } ``` ### ⬆️ Output One row per listing. This is a real row, shortened: ```json { "listingId": "2750798958", "listingType": "building", "name": "Edison Austin", "url": "https://www.zillow.com/apartments/austin-tx/edison-austin/CkBPsG/", "address": "4711 E Riverside Dr, Austin, TX 78741", "city": "Austin", "state": "TX", "zip": "78741", "neighborhood": "Pleasant Valley", "latitude": 30.230991, "longitude": -97.71912, "propertyType": "BUILDING", "rentMin": 1541, "rentMax": 3141, "baseRentMin": 1295, "baseRentMax": 2895, "bedsMin": 0, "bedsMax": 2, "unitsAvailable": 12, "totalUnits": 354, "unitTypes": [{"beds": 0, "rentFrom": 1541}, {"beds": 1, "rentFrom": 1841}, {"beds": 2, "rentFrom": 2741}], "phone": "(512) 807-0820", "floorPlans": [ { "name": "E2", "beds": 0, "baths": 1, "sqft": 509, "rentMin": 1541, "rentMax": 1541, "baseRentMin": 1295, "baseRentMax": 1395, "availableFrom": "now", "leaseTerm": "6 Months", "units": [{"unit": "Unit 2315", "rent": 1541, "baseRent": 1295, "sqft": 509, "availableFrom": "now"}] } ], "moveInSpecials": ["Austin's Largest Award-Winning Floor Plans - Luxury Living with Breathtaking Skyline Views!"], "petPolicy": [{"type": "cats", "allowed": true, "monthlyFee": 50, "oneTimeFee": 500, "maxNumber": 5}], "amenities": ["Garbage Disposal", "Dishwasher", "Microwave", "Refrigerator"], "walkScore": 48, "transitScore": 55, "bikeScore": 57, "has3DTour": true, "detailsLoaded": true, "scrapedAt": "2026-10-02T13:30:51+00:00" } ``` A home for rent has the same core fields plus `baths`, `sqft`, `yearBuilt`, `daysOnZillow`, `rentZestimate`, `allowedPets`, `fees` and `priceHistory` (for example `{"date": "2026-09-29", "event": "Listed for rent", "price": 2095}`). ### 💰 How much does it cost? You pay per listing saved, plus a tiny start fee per run. | Apify plan | Price per 1,000 listings | |---|---| | Free | $5.00 | | Starter | $4.75 | | Scale | $4.50 | | Business and above | $4.25 | A run that saves 100 listings costs $0.50 on the Free plan. Set **Maximum cost per run** in the run options and the Actor stops at that amount. Floor plans, units and contact details are included in the listing price. ### 💡 Use cases - 🏘️ **Rental comps:** pull asking rents and unit mixes for a neighborhood before pricing your own units. - 📈 **Market tracking:** schedule a weekly run for the same ZIP codes and compare `rentMin`, `unitsAvailable` and `moveInSpecials` over time. - 📞 **Leasing office outreach:** build a list of communities with phone numbers, unit counts and current specials. - 🧮 **Investment screening:** compare listed rent with `rentZestimate` and rent history on single-family rentals. ### ❓ FAQ **How many listings can I get per search?** Zillow serves about 820 listings per search (20 pages). For a large city, pass several ZIP codes or narrow rent ranges as separate locations and the Actor merges them without duplicates. **Why is `phone` empty on some rows?** Apartment communities almost always publish a leasing phone. Many single homes do not, and Zillow routes those contacts through its own form, so the field stays empty. **What is the difference between `rentMin` and `baseRentMin`?** Zillow now shows a total monthly price that includes required fees. `rentMin` is that advertised total. `baseRentMin` is the rent before those fees, when the listing reports it. **Can I paste a Zillow search URL?** Yes. Set up any rental search on zillow.com, copy the address bar and use it as a location. The URL's own filters are kept and the input filters are ignored for that entry. **Does it cover homes for sale?** No. This Actor reads rentals only. For homes for sale and sold homes use the [Zillow Search Scraper](https://apify.com/benthepythondev/zillow-scraper). **How fresh is the data?** Every run reads Zillow live. Nothing is cached between runs. **What happens if Zillow blocks a request?** The Actor switches to another connection route and retries. If a listing page still cannot be read, the row is saved with the search data and `detailsLoaded: false`, so one bad page never costs you the whole run. **Can I run it on a schedule?** Yes. Create an Apify schedule with the same input, then compare datasets or send each run to Google Sheets, a webhook or your database through Apify integrations. **Is it legal to scrape Zillow rentals?** The Actor collects listing information that Zillow shows publicly to any visitor and does not log in or bypass a paywall. You are responsible for how you use the data. Phone numbers and agent names are business contact details, but privacy and marketing rules such as GDPR, CCPA and CAN-SPAM still apply to outreach, and Zillow's terms of use apply to you as well. If in doubt, ask a lawyer. **Something is missing or broken?** Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with the run ID. Issues are answered within one business day. ### 🧩 Need this as a managed feed?
