## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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`).

## Zillow Search Scraper — Extract Real Estate Listings from Zillow Search URLs

Extract structured property data from any Zillow search results page — homes for sale, homes for rent, price, beds, baths, square footage, location, and more — by simply pasting a Zillow search URL. No coding, no API key, no browser required.

### 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](https://www.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.

### Input Parameters

| Parameter      | Type    | Required | Description                                                                 |
|----------------|---------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `searchUrls`   | Array   | Yes      | One or more Zillow search result URLs to scrape.                             |
| `resultsLimit` | Integer | No       | Maximum number of listings to return per search URL. Leave empty for all results. |

### 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.

### Use Cases

- Building a real estate comps database
- Monitoring price changes across neighborhoods over time
- Lead generation for real estate agents and investors
- Market research and housing trend analysis
- Populating a property search app or dashboard with live listings
- Academic or journalistic research into housing affordability

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
