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 ## Zillow Scraper Scrape property listings from [Zillow](https://www.zillow.com) search pages. Extracts structured data for every property on any search result — for sale, for rent, recently sold — across any US city, ZIP code, or custom map region. ### How it works This actor calls Zillow's internal search API (the same JSON endpoint the browser uses) rather than parsing HTML. This means: - **Up to 500 results per page** in a single request - **Structured data** — no brittle HTML parsing - **Full pagination** — automatically follows all pages until `maxResults` is reached or the search is exhausted ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `startUrls` | array | ✅ | One or more Zillow search URLs | | `maxResults` | integer | ❌ | Max properties to scrape in total (0 = unlimited) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | ❌ | Apify proxy settings (strongly recommended) | #### Getting the right start URL 1. Go to [zillow.com](https://www.zillow.com) 2. Search for a location and apply any filters you want (price, beds, home type, etc.) 3. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar and paste it as a start URL Both URL formats work: - **Filter URL** — `https://www.zillow.com/new-braunfels-tx/?searchQueryState=...` (recommended — preserves all filters) - **Path URL** — `https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/` (uses Zillow's defaults) You can provide **multiple start URLs** in one run (e.g. several cities, or for-sale + for-rent for the same area). #### Proxy Zillow uses PerimeterX bot detection. Without a proxy, requests from datacenter IPs will be blocked almost immediately. **Apify Residential proxies** are strongly recommended for reliable results. ```json { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } ```` ### Output Each property is saved as one row in the **Dataset**. Fields: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `zpid` | string | Zillow Property ID (unique per listing) | | `address` | string | Full address | | `streetAddress` | string | Street address only | | `city` | string | City | | `state` | string | State abbreviation (e.g. `TX`) | | `zipcode` | string | ZIP code | | `latitude` | number | Latitude | | `longitude` | number | Longitude | | `statusType` | string | `FOR_SALE`, `FOR_RENT`, `RECENTLY_SOLD` | | `statusText` | string | Human-readable status (e.g. `Active`) | | `marketingStatus` | string | e.g. `For Sale by Agent` | | `priceRaw` | number | List price as a number | | `priceDisplay` | string | Formatted price (e.g. `$245,000`) | | `priceLabel` | string | Short label (e.g. `$245K`) | | `zestimate` | number | Zillow's automated home value estimate | | `rentZestimate` | number | Zillow's estimated monthly rental value | | `taxAssessedValue` | number | Tax-assessed value | | `homeType` | string | `SINGLE_FAMILY`, `CONDO`, `TOWNHOUSE`, etc. | | `bedrooms` | number | Number of bedrooms | | `bathrooms` | number | Number of bathrooms | | `livingArea` | number | Living area in sq ft | | `lotAreaValue` | number | Lot area | | `lotAreaUnit` | string | `sqft` or `acres` | | `daysOnZillow` | number | Days on Zillow (`-1` = unknown) | | `listingSubType` | string | e.g. `FSBA`, `FSBO`, `NEW_HOME` | | `brokerName` | string | Listing brokerage | | `agentName` | string | Agent name + license string | | `imgSrc` | string | Primary photo URL | | `has3DModel` | boolean | 3D tour available | | `detailUrl` | string | Full URL to the Zillow detail page | A summary is also saved to the **Key-Value Store** under the `OUTPUT` key. ### Pricing This actor uses **Pay-per-result** pricing — you are only charged for properties that are successfully scraped and saved to the dataset. | Tier | Price per property | |------|--------------------| | Default | $0.004 | You will never be charged more than your configured budget. The budget guard runs before scraping starts and caps `maxResults` to what your budget can afford. ### Resume / fault tolerance If the actor is interrupted (crash, migration, manual abort), it saves its progress to the Key-Value Store. Re-running or resurrecting the actor will **automatically resume from where it left off** — already-completed URLs are skipped and in-progress URLs continue from the last saved page. ### Limitations - Zillow's API returns a **maximum of 500 results per page** and **up to ~20 pages** for most searches (≈ 10,000 results). For larger areas, narrow your search with filters or split into multiple smaller region URLs. - **Detail page data** (full description, school info, price history) is not fetched — the actor uses the search API only. This keeps it fast and low-cost. - Zillow's bot detection is aggressive. Without residential proxies, you will encounter `403` errors. ### Debug logging Set the `APIFY_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable to `DEBUG` to see full request/response details, proxy URLs, and pagination internals. At `INFO` (the default), only user-facing progress is logged. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): One or more Zillow search URLs. Go to zillow.com, search for a location, apply any filters (price, beds, home type, etc.), then copy the full URL from your browser and paste it here. Both filter URLs (with searchQueryState=…) and plain path URLs (/homes/for\_sale/) are supported. You can mix multiple cities or listing types in one run. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum total number of properties to scrape across all start URLs. You are charged per property saved, so this also controls your cost. Set to 0 for unlimited (scrapes all available pages). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for the scraper. Zillow uses aggressive bot detection (PerimeterX) — Apify Residential proxies are strongly recommended. Without a residential proxy, requests from datacenter IPs will be blocked with HTTP 403. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.zillow.com/new-braunfels-tx/rentals/?searchQueryState=%7B%22isMapVisible%22%3Atrue%2C%22mapBounds%22%3A%7B%22north%22%3A29.94026857853072%2C%22south%22%3A29.559929716752492%2C%22east%22%3A-97.88243765917969%2C%22west%22%3A-98.46608634082031%7D%2C%22filterState%22%3A%7B%22fr%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Atrue%7D%2C%22fsba%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22fsbo%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22nc%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22cmsn%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22auc%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22fore%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22land%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22manu%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22mf%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%7D%2C%22isListVisible%22%3Atrue%2C%22mapZoom%22%3A11%2C%22usersSearchTerm%22%3A%22New%20Braunfels%20TX%20homes%22%2C%22regionSelection%22%3A%5B%7B%22regionId%22%3A39966%2C%22regionType%22%3A6%7D%5D%2C%22pagination%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22category%22%3A%22cat1%22%7D" } ], "maxResults": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
