## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

### 💡 Use Cases

- **🏠 Real Estate Investment** — Analyze property prices, Zestimates, and price trends across ZIP codes to find undervalued properties
- **📊 Market Analysis** — Track days on market, price reductions, and listing activity for competitive market reports
- **📈 Price Monitoring** — Monitor price changes and new listings in target neighborhoods

- **👤 Agent/Broker Data** — Build databases of active real estate agents and brokers in specific markets
- **📉 Tax Assessment** — Compare tax history and assessed values across properties for investment decisions

### 💲 Pricing

- **$2.00 per 1,000 results** — the most affordable comprehensive Zillow scraper on Apify
- Platform usage fees apply (compute + proxy)
- Residential proxies required (~$0.50/1K requests)
- Estimated cost: ~$3-4 per 1,000 full-detail property extractions

### ⚙️ Technical Notes

- **Anti-bot**: Zillow uses Incapsula/Imperva WAF. This actor uses Camoufox stealth browser with residential proxies to bypass it reliably.
- **Rate limiting**: The actor includes randomized delays and human-like scrolling to avoid detection.
- **Data source**: Extracts from `__NEXT_DATA__` embedded JSON (primary) with HTML selectors as fallback.
- **Proxy requirement**: Residential proxies are **required**. Datacenter proxies will be blocked immediately.
