### 🎯 What this scrapes
Give this Actor a UK location and a listing type and it returns structured Zoopla property rows — price, address, bedrooms, bathrooms, floor area, tenure, EPC rating, key features, agent details, photos, and (optionally) the full listing description and floor plan straight from each property's detail page.
1. Searches Zoopla for the location + listing type you give it, with optional price and minimum-bedroom filters.
2. Collects up to your configured cap of listing rows from the search results.
3. Optionally visits each listing's detail page for the fuller field set — full description, floor plan URL, EPC graph, and full agent phone.
4. Emits one row per property to the default dataset.
Zoopla is the UK's #2 property portal, and its listing pages are the closest thing to a canonical source for a huge share of the UK's for-sale and to-rent inventory. This is the Zoopla twin of our Rightmove scraper, built to the same field depth so the two feel like a matched product line.
### 🔥 Features
- 🛡️ **We clear the JS-execution gate Zoopla puts in front of raw HTTP requests** — a hardened browser layer renders the page like a real visitor instead of bouncing off a challenge screen.
- 🌐 **We rotate proxy sessions** through Apify Proxy — a fresh exit IP and session on every block.
- 🧭 **Built-in UK geo-splash guard** — every fetched page is checked for genuine UK Zoopla markers (currency symbol, canonical domain) before its data is trusted, so a bad proxy exit never silently returns wrong-country data.
- 🧱 **We back off when the target pushes back.** Partial successes surface with a clear status message — we never silently return an empty dataset.
- 🎯 **Per-listing fault isolation** — one bad listing is logged and skipped; it never fails the whole run.
- 🧊 **Pydantic v2 input + output validation** — every row is a typed, schema-enforced record; nullable fields are always `null`, never silently dropped.
- 💰 **Pay-Per-Event pricing** — you're charged per listing row written to your dataset, not per page fetched.
### 💡 Use cases
- **Market research** — track UK listing supply, pricing, and inventory mix by area over time.
- **Estate agent competitor monitoring** — see what other agents have listed in your patch, at what price, and with what features.
- **Investment screening** — filter for-sale or to-rent inventory by area, price, and bedroom count for deal sourcing.
- **Proptech / analytics pipelines** — feed structured listing data into a warehouse or model without maintaining your own scraper.
### ⚙️ How to use it
1. Click **Try for free** at the top of the page.
2. Enter a UK `searchLocation` (city, district, postcode prefix, or region) and pick `listingType` (`for-sale` or `to-rent`).
3. Optionally set `maxPriceGbp`, `minBedrooms`, and whether to enrich each row from the detail page (`enrichDetails`).
4. Click **Start**. Output streams into the run's dataset.
5. Export from **Storage → Dataset** as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or fetch via the API.

### 🚧 Limitations
v0 covers search-by-location and optional detail-page enrichment only — no sold-price history (Zoopla's separate "house prices" vertical), no map/polygon search (location is a free-text string, not lat/lng bounds), and no OCR of the EPC graph image (we surface the URL instead of rendering it).
### ❓ FAQ
**Is this legal?**
We only fetch content Zoopla makes publicly available on its search and listing pages. Respect Zoopla's terms of service before using output commercially.
**Why is a field `null`?**
Detail-page fields (`epc_graph_url`, `description`, `agent_phone`, `floor_plan_url`) are `null` when `enrichDetails` is `false`, or when Zoopla doesn't expose that field publicly for a given listing.
**Do I need my own proxy?**
No — Apify Proxy is wired in by default.
**Why did I get fewer rows than `maxProperties`?**
Zoopla's search pagination for a given location/filter combination can return fewer results than the cap, and any listing that fails to parse is skipped rather than failing the run — check the run's status message for a breakdown.
