Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use 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 Scrape Zillow listings by city, ZIP code, or URL. Supports **For Sale**, **For Rent**, and **Recently Sold**. Returns 22+ fields per property including price, Zestimate, beds/baths/sqft, lot size, home type, days on market, broker name, lat/lng, image URLs, and Zillow Property ID (zpid). No API key, no manual browser clicks — pay only for records returned. ### Features - **Three listing types**: For Sale, For Rent, and Recently Sold - **Rich fields**: price, Zestimate, rent Zestimate, beds, baths, sqft, lot area, home type, status, days on market, broker, coordinates, images - **Flexible input**: city/state (`Austin, TX`), ZIP code (`90210`), or paste a full Zillow search URL - **Filter support**: price range, minimum bedrooms, home type (house, condo, townhome, multi-family, land, manufactured) - **Automatic pagination**: follows Zillow's next-page links automatically up to your `maxItems` limit - **Pay-per-result**: charged only for records actually delivered — never for blocked pages or empty runs ### How to scrape Zillow listings 1. Open the actor and enter a **Location** (e.g. `Seattle, WA` or `10001`) or paste a Zillow search URL. 2. Pick a **Listing type**: For Sale, For Rent, or Recently Sold. 3. Optionally set price, bedroom, and home type filters. 4. Set **Max listings** (default 100; set to 0 for unlimited — be aware costs scale linearly). 5. Leave **Proxy configuration** at the default Apify Residential US setting — this is required for Zillow. 6. Click **Start** and wait. Results appear in the dataset as they stream in. Typical run time for 100 listings: under 60 seconds. For 1,000 listings expect ~3–5 minutes. ### How much does it cost? This actor uses **pay-per-result** pricing: you pay only for listings actually returned. | Volume | Approximate cost | |--------|-----------------| | 100 listings | ~$0.30 | | 1,000 listings | ~$3.00 | | 10,000 listings | ~$30.00 | Proxy usage (Apify Residential) is billed separately to your Apify account by Apify platform at their standard rates. No external proxy key or subscription needed. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `location` | string | City/state, ZIP, or neighborhood. Example: `Austin, TX` or `90210` | | `searchUrl` | string | Optional: paste a full Zillow search URL to override location + filters | | `operation` | enum | `sale` (default), `rent`, or `sold` | | `maxItems` | integer | Max records to return (default 100; 0 = unlimited) | | `priceMin` | integer | Minimum price in USD | | `priceMax` | integer | Maximum price in USD | | `bedsMin` | integer | Minimum bedroom count | | `homeType` | enum | `house`, `condo`, `townhome`, `multi-family`, `land`, `manufactured` | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Apify Residential US proxy (required — Zillow blocks datacenter IPs) | #### Input example ```json { "location": "Austin, TX", "operation": "sale", "priceMin": 300000, "priceMax": 800000, "bedsMin": 3, "homeType": "house", "maxItems": 200, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `zpid` | Zillow Property ID | | `url` | Property detail page URL | | `price` | List price (USD) | | `sold_price` | Sold price (for "Recently Sold" mode) | | `zestimate` | Zillow's automated valuation (when available) | | `rent_zestimate` | Estimated monthly rent (when available) | | `tax_assessed_value` | Tax assessed value | | `beds` | Bedrooms | | `baths` | Bathrooms | | `sqft` | Living area square footage | | `lot_area_value` | Lot size value | | `lot_area_unit` | Lot size unit (sqft or acres) | | `home_type` | SINGLE\_FAMILY, CONDO, TOWNHOUSE, etc. | | `status` | FOR\_SALE, FOR\_RENT, RECENTLY\_SOLD | | `status_text` | Human-readable status (e.g. "Active", "For Sale (Broker)") | | `days_on_zillow` | Days the listing has been on Zillow | | `date_sold` | Sale date (YYYY-MM-DD, for sold listings) | | `address` | Full address string | | `address_street` | Street address | | `address_city` | City | | `address_state` | State code (e.g. TX) | | `address_zipcode` | ZIP code | | `lat` | Latitude | | `lng` | Longitude | | `broker_name` | Listing broker/agency name | | `image_urls` | Array of full-resolution photo URLs | | `image_count` | Number of photos | | `thumbnail` | Primary photo URL | #### Output example ```json { "zpid": "29391332", "url": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4608-Wally-Ave-Austin-TX-78721/29391332_zpid/", "price": 495000.0, "sold_price": null, "zestimate": null, "rent_zestimate": null, "tax_assessed_value": 387930.0, "beds": 3, "baths": 2.0, "sqft": 1200, "lot_area_value": 6982.668, "lot_area_unit": "sqft", "home_type": "SINGLE_FAMILY", "status": "FOR_SALE", "status_text": "Active", "days_on_zillow": 5, "date_sold": null, "address": "4608 Wally Ave, Austin, TX 78721", "address_street": "4608 Wally Ave", "address_city": "Austin", "address_state": "TX", "address_zipcode": "78721", "lat": 30.281445, "lng": -97.684395, "broker_name": "Sprout Realty", "image_urls": ["https://photos.zillowstatic.com/fp/..."], "image_count": 40, "thumbnail": "https://photos.zillowstatic.com/fp/...", "search_location": "Austin, TX", "operation": "sale", "page_number": 1, "scraped_at": "2026-06-07T16:52:30+00:00" } ``` ### Proxy requirement Zillow uses PerimeterX anti-bot protection that blocks datacenter IPs. **Apify Residential proxy (US) is required.** The actor is pre-configured to use Apify's standard `proxyConfiguration` input — no external proxy account, API key, or subscription needed. Proxy compute is billed to your Apify run at Apify's standard rates. ### FAQ **Q: Why is Zestimate null for most listings?** Zillow only exposes Zestimate in search results for a fraction of listings (~5–15%). This is Zillow's deliberate data policy, not a parsing bug. Zestimate is always available on individual property pages. **Q: Can I scrape a specific neighborhood or zip code?** Yes — enter the ZIP code (e.g. `90210`) or a neighborhood name directly in the Location field. Zillow's URL slug resolver handles both. **Q: Will this break if Zillow updates their site?** The actor uses Zillow's embedded `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON (server-side rendered), not brittle CSS selectors. This approach is significantly more stable than HTML scraping and tolerates most layout changes. **Q: How many results can I scrape?** Zillow typically returns up to ~500 pages × 41 listings ≈ 20,500 results per search query. Set `maxItems` to 0 for unlimited, or cap it to control cost. ### Legal disclaimer This actor is provided for legitimate data collection use cases such as market research, price analysis, academic study, and business intelligence.
