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 Rental Application Request Submitter [![Send Zillow rental requests automatically. Your details. Your message. Submission status.](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/pJ7iaZsTFhR3k9tjV/records/zillow-rental-application-submitter-readme-hero-v1.png)](https://console.apify.com/actors/vGu8Ujn448eqOjb6g/input) From **Clearpath**, creators of [Zillow Bulk Search](https://apify.com/clearpath/zillow-bulk-search-unlimited-scraper) and [Zillow ZIP Code Search](https://apify.com/clearpath/zillow-zip-code-search-scraper). Find rentals, build your shortlist and send a request to apply. ### Why choose this actor? - **Automate your request to apply.** Provide a Zillow property ID or listing URL, your contact details and a message. The actor submits the rental request for that listing. - **Make every message your own.** Use custom text or the built-in template. Add `{name}` to insert the applicant’s name automatically. - **Keep a record of each request.** Get the property ID, applicant name and email, message, timestamp and success status in your dataset. Connect it to a search workflow, using one run for each selected rental.

### Prepare your first rental request Replace the example property ID and contact details with your own. Each run processes one rental listing. ```json { "zpid": 2069918407, "name": "Your Name", "email": "you@example.com", "phoneNumber": "+12025550123", "message": "Hi, I'd like to apply for this rental." } ``` [Open actor input](https://console.apify.com/actors/vGu8Ujn448eqOjb6g/input) to review your details and message before starting. Running the actor sends a real request to apply. It does not complete tenant screening or upload application documents. Listings that require a Zillow login are not supported; successful submission is not landlord approval.

### Pricing **$0.25 per confirmed application request**, with the same price on every Apify plan. Platform usage is included. | Confirmed-request charges | Price | | --- | ---: | | 1 request | $0.25 | | 10 requests | $2.50 | | 100 requests | $25.00 | Failed requests, invalid input and test simulations do not incur the application-request charge. A confirmed request remains billable if saving its output subsequently fails. Check its outcome before starting a new run to avoid sending it again. ### Quick start Provide a property ID, your own contact details and a message: ```json { "zpid": 458222521, "name": "Your Name", "email": "you@example.com", "phoneNumber": "+12125551234", "message": "Hello, I'm interested in applying for this property. Please let me know the next steps. Thank you, {name}" } ``` Replace the sample property and contact details before running. You can use `propertyUrl` instead of `zpid`. If both are supplied, the property ID takes priority. `{name}` is replaced with your supplied name. ### Inputs | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `zpid` | An 8–10 digit Zillow property ID. Required unless you provide `propertyUrl`. | | `propertyUrl` | A Zillow listing URL, including supported apartment building URLs. | | `name` | Your full name. Required. | | `email` | Your email address. Required. | | `phoneNumber` | US or Canada phone number in `+1XXXXXXXXXX` format. Required. | | `message` | Optional message. The default asks how to apply without making claims about your income or credit history. | ### Output A confirmed request returns: ```json { "zpid": 458222521, "propertyUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/458222521_zpid/", "applicantName": "Your Name", "applicantEmail": "you@example.com", "message": "Hello, I'm interested in applying for this property. Please let me know the next steps. Thank you, Your Name", "success": true, "scrapedAt": "2026-09-16T12:00:00+00:00" } ``` `success: true` means Zillow confirmed the request, not that a landlord accepted your application. Rejected requests return `success: false` with an explanation. An `uncertain` result means a request may have reached Zillow even though completion could not be confirmed. Inspect the outcome before trying again. The Actor checks the available run budget before sending. If a run is interrupted during submission, billing or output delivery, it stops for review instead of automatically repeating an uncertain action. A new run is a new request, so do not rerun blindly after an interruption. ### Use with your workflow Search for suitable rental properties, review the matches and call this Actor once per property you want to contact. Use accurate contact information and a message that reflects your circumstances. #### Copy to your AI assistant ```text Use clearpath/zillow-rental-application-submitter on Apify to send one request to apply per run.

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/vGu8Ujn448eqOjb6g/builds/mGlzGSNMicB0XvuE2/openapi.json
