🏠 Zillow Search Scraper - Homes For Sale & Sold by City or ZIP

Search Zillow for homes for sale or recently sold homes in any US city or ZIP code and get every listing as structured data: price, address, beds, baths, size, status, days on Zillow, Zestimate and broker. Large areas are split automatically, so a search is not cut off at 500 results. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🔎 What is the Zillow Search Scraper?

It is an Apify Actor that runs Zillow's own search for the places you name and saves one row per listing. You can search by city ("Austin, TX"), by ZIP code ("78704") or by pasting a search URL from zillow.com.

Zillow shows at most about 500 homes for one map view. When an area holds more, the Actor cuts the map into smaller tiles and reads each tile, the way you would zoom in by hand. In our test one run collected all 5,073 homes for sale in Austin in 20 seconds.

Turn on Include property details and each home also gets its full Zillow record: listing agent with phone number, price history, tax history, schools, home facts, climate risk scores and photo links.

No browser is started and no third-party unblocker is used, which keeps runs quick and cheap.

• Identity: zpid, url, listingType (home or building), homeStatus, statusText, listingTags

⬇️ Input

Field	Type	What it does
locations	array	Cities ("Austin, TX"), ZIP codes ("78704") or full Zillow search URLs
listingType	string	forSale or sold
maxResults	integer	Maximum listings to save across all locations

Example input

Houses and townhomes under $400,000 with at least three bedrooms that sold in Chicago in the last 30 days:

{
  "locations": ["Chicago, IL"],
  "listingType": "sold",
  "maxResults": 500,
  "maxPrice": 400000,
  "minBeds": 3,
  "homeTypes": ["houses", "townhomes"],
  "daysOnZillow": "30"
}

⬆️ Output

One row per listing. This is a real row from a search for sale:

{
  "zpid": "29575407",
  "listingType": "home",
  "url": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/13126-Greybull-Trl-Austin-TX-78729/29575407_zpid/",
  "homeStatus": "FOR_SALE",
  "statusText": "Active",

  "address": "13126 Greybull Trl, Austin, TX 78729",
  "street": "13126 Greybull Trl",
  "city": "Austin",
  "state": "TX",
  "zip": "78729",
  "latitude": 30.448298,
  "longitude": -97.75281,
  "bedrooms": 3,
  "bathrooms": 2,
  "livingArea": 1433,

  "has3DTour": true,
  "detailsLevel": "search",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-02T14:30:58+00:00"
}

A sold home carries the sale instead: "homeStatus": "RECENTLY_SOLD", "price": 385000, "soldDate": "2026-09-02", "zestimate": 394400, "rentZestimate": 4671.

With details on, the same row grows by about 40 fields, for example:

{
  "agentName": "Atoosa Ponsford",
  "agentPhone": "(512) 480-0848",
  "mlsId": "2986990",
  "yearBuilt": 1958,
  "priceHistory": [{"date": "2026-09-30", "event": "Listed for sale", "price": 1185000, "pricePerSqft": 499, "source": "Unlock MLS"}],
  "taxHistory": [{"year": 2025, "taxPaid": 19236.43, "assessedValue": 939974}],
  "schools": [{"name": "Highland Park Elementary School", "rating": 10, "grades": "PK-5", "distance": 0.6}],
  "climateRisk": {"flood": {"score": 1, "label": "MINIMAL"}, "wind": {"score": 8, "label": "SEVERE"}},
  "detailsLevel": "full"
}

detailsLevel is search for a row with search data only and full once the property record was added.

💰 How much does it cost?

You pay per listing saved, plus a tiny start fee per run. Property details are a separate, optional charge per home.

Apify plan	1,000 listings	1,000 listings with details
Free	$2.00	$5.00
Starter	$1.90	$4.75
Scale	$1.80	$4.50
Business and above	$1.70	$4.25

All 5,073 Austin homes for sale cost about $10.15 on the Free plan without details. Set Maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops at that amount. The details fee is charged only for homes whose record could be loaded.

❓ FAQ

Is there a limit of 500 or 820 results? No. Zillow shows about 500 homes per map view and 820 per result list. The Actor splits a large area into map tiles and merges the results without duplicates, so the limit you set in maxResults is the only one.

Can I search several places at once? Yes. Add as many cities, ZIP codes or URLs as you need. maxResults is shared evenly between them, and a home that appears in two searches is saved once.

Can I paste a Zillow search URL? Yes. Set up any search on zillow.com, including a drawn area, 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.

Why is price empty for some sold homes? Some states, Texas among them, do not disclose sale prices, so Zillow has none to show. soldDate and zestimate are still filled.

What is a building row? A community or condo building where several homes are for sale under one card. It has a name, a starting price and a unit count, and no ZPID. Details are not available for these rows.

Does it cover rentals? Use the Zillow Rentals Scraper, which also returns floor plans, units and leasing phone numbers.

I already have addresses or ZPIDs. Do I need a search? No. The Zillow Detail Scraper takes URLs, ZPIDs or street addresses directly.

What happens if Zillow blocks a request? The Actor switches to another connection route and continues. If details cannot be loaded for a home, the row keeps its search data and no details fee is charged for it.

How fresh is the data? Every run reads Zillow live. Nothing is cached between runs.

Is it legal to scrape Zillow listings? The Actor collects listing information Zillow shows publicly to any visitor and does not log in or bypass a paywall. You are responsible for how you use the data. Agent names and phone numbers are business contact details, but privacy and marketing rules such as GDPR, CCPA, CAN-SPAM and the TCPA 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.
