## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Zillow Scraper

Extract public real estate data without a login. Search properties in a city, neighborhood, or zip code, or pull a single property by its URL. Pagination is walked automatically up to the limit you set.

### What it does

- **Location search.** Give it a city, neighborhood, or zip code and it returns the properties found there, paged up to your limit.
- **Property by URL.** Give it a property link or id and it returns that property as a structured row.
- **Clean structured output.** Price, beds, baths, area, home type, address, coordinates, and a link, normalized into one stable shape.

No account, no password, no API key. Give it locations or property links and it returns clean rows.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `locationSearches` | array | Places to pull properties from. A city, a neighborhood, or a zip code. |
| `propertyUrls` | array | Property links or numeric ids to fetch one at a time. |
| `maxItemsPerSource` | integer | Cap per location or property. Default 100. |
| `sort` | string | `relevant`, `newest`, `priceLow`, or `priceHigh`. |
| `includeDetail` | boolean | Enrich each property with its full detail document where available. |
| `concurrency` | integer | Sources processed in parallel. Default 4. |
| `proxyConfig` | object | Apify proxy. Residential is recommended. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "locationSearches": ["Austin, TX", "78704"],
  "maxItemsPerSource": 200,
  "sort": "newest",
  "includeDetail": true
}
```

### Output

Each property row:

```json
{
  "type": "property",
  "propertyId": "12345678",
  "statusType": "FOR_SALE",
  "price": 525000,
  "currency": "USD",
  "bedrooms": 3,
  "bathrooms": 2,
  "livingArea": 1680,
  "areaUnit": "sqft",
  "homeType": "SINGLE_FAMILY",
  "yearBuilt": 1998,
  "address": "123 Example St",
  "city": "Austin",
  "state": "TX",
  "zipCode": "78704",
  "latitude": 30.2433,
  "longitude": -97.7656,
  "zestimate": 531000,
  "rentZestimate": 2600,
  "daysOnZillow": 7,
  "photos": ["https://example.com/photo.jpg"],
  "url": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/123-Example-St-Austin-TX-78704/12345678_zpid/"
}
```

### Notes

- Prices and counts reflect the values at scrape time.
- `maxItemsPerSource` walks as many pages as needed to reach your target.
- Coordinates are returned for mapping and de-duplication.

### Privacy

To improve our actors we collect anonymized usage telemetry (run stats and input patterns). No personal account data is collected.

# Actor input Schema

## `locationSearches` (type: `array`):

Places to pull properties from: a city, a neighborhood, or a zip code. Example: Austin, TX or 78704.

## `propertyUrls` (type: `array`):

Specific property links or numeric ids to fetch. Example: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/123-Example-St-Austin-TX-78704/12345678\_zpid/ or 12345678.

## `maxItemsPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Cap on properties returned per location or per property URL. Pagination is walked across multiple pages until this is reached or the source is exhausted.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Sort order for location searches.

## `includeDetail` (type: `boolean`):

When on, each property is enriched with its full detail document (year built, lot size, broker, photos) where available. Off keeps runs faster.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many sources to process in parallel. Higher is faster but puts more load on proxies.

## `proxyConfig` (type: `object`):

Apify proxy. RESIDENTIAL is the default and recommended option for the most reliable results.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "locationSearches": [
    "Austin, TX"
  ],
  "propertyUrls": [],
  "maxItemsPerSource": 100,
  "sort": "relevant",
  "includeDetail": true,
  "concurrency": 4,
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript

// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "locationSearches": [
        "Austin, TX"
    ],
    "propertyUrls": [],

        ]
    }

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("goat255/zillow-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("goat255/zillow-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "locationSearches": [
    "Austin, TX"
  ],
  "propertyUrls": [],
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}' |
apify call goat255/zillow-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,goat255/zillow-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
