What This Actor Does

This actor takes one or more Zillow search URLs (the kind you get after searching by city, ZIP code, or map area on zillow.com) and returns a clean, structured dataset of every property listing in that search — ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or to push into your own database, spreadsheet, or app.

It's built for anyone who needs Zillow's listing data at scale without manually copying and pasting from the website:

• Real estate investors screening markets for deals
• Real estate agents and brokerages building comps or lead lists
• Data analysts and researchers studying housing market trends
• Developers building real estate apps, dashboards, or price-tracking tools
• Proptech companies needing structured MLS-adjacent data

Key Features

• Just paste a URL — copy any Zillow search results URL (for sale, for rent, sold, any city or map area) and the actor handles the rest.
• Handles large searches automatically — searches spanning thousands of listings (e.g. an entire city or state) are processed in full, not capped at Zillow's usual on-page limit.
• Reliable at scale — built-in retry logic and proxy rotation keep long-running searches from getting interrupted by rate limits or blocks.
• Clean, flat output — no nested JSON to untangle. Every listing comes back as a simple row: address, price, beds, baths, square footage, status, listing URL, photo, and more.
• Configurable result limits — cap the number of results per search URL, or pull everything.
• Multiple searches in one run — queue up several Zillow search URLs (different cities, filters, or price ranges) and get them all in a single dataset.

How to Use

1. Go to zillow.com and run a search (e.g. "homes for sale in Austin, TX" or draw a custom area on the map).
2. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar once the results load.
3. Paste it into the Zillow Search URLs field in this actor's input.
4. (Optional) Set a Results limit if you only need a subset of listings.
5. Click Start and export your results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect via API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this actor need a Zillow account or API key? No. It works directly from a public Zillow search URL — no login or API credentials required.

How many listings can it return? As many as exist in your search — including searches that would normally return more results than Zillow shows on a single page. Set resultsLimit if you only need a sample.

Can I search multiple cities or filters at once? Yes. Add multiple URLs to searchUrls and each one is scraped and included in the same dataset.

What's the difference between this and the Zillow API? Zillow does not offer a public API for search listings. This actor extracts the same data you'd see browsing zillow.com, structured for programmatic use.

Can I get both for-sale and for-rent listings? Yes — just use the corresponding Zillow search URL for each (for sale, for rent, or sold/recently sold).

How fresh is the data? Data reflects what's live on Zillow at the moment the actor runs.
