How much does it cost to scrape Zillow data?

Zillow scraping on Apify uses a pay-per-result model. You only pay for properties you successfully extract.

Free tier: New Apify users get $5 in free credits - enough to scrape approximately 1,600 Zillow properties for free!

Cost estimates:

• Basic property data: ~$3 per 1,000 properties
• With photos & history: ~$3 per 1,000 properties
• 1 property = $0.003 (less than a penny!)

Pricing breakdown:

• Actor start: $0.00005 (one-time per run)
• Per property: $0.003 ($3 per 1,000 properties)

Example costs:

• 100 properties = $0.30
• 500 properties = $1.50
• 1,000 properties = $3.00
• 10,000 properties = $30.00

Tips to reduce costs:

• Set maxProperties to limit results
• Disable includeNearbyHomes if not needed
• Use filters to get only relevant properties
• Import URLs from search results to avoid duplicates

The scraper is highly optimized and uses minimal compute resources, making it one of the most cost-effective Zillow scrapers available.

Is it legal to scrape Zillow data?

Yes, scraping publicly available data from Zillow is legal in most jurisdictions. This scraper only extracts publicly visible information that anyone can see without logging in - property listings, prices, addresses, and public agent information.

What we extract:

• ✅ Public property listings
• ✅ Prices and property details
• ✅ Agent contact information (publicly listed)
• ✅ Photos from public listings
• ✅ Tax and price history (public records)

What we DON'T extract:

• ❌ Private user data
• ❌ Login-required information
• ❌ Personal data not publicly displayed

Best practices:

• Use scraped data ethically and responsibly
• Respect Zillow's rate limits (use appropriate concurrency)
• Don't use data for spam or harassment
• Review Zillow's Terms of Service for your specific use case

For commercial use at scale, you may want to review Zillow's official API options. However, the API has strict rate limits and can be expensive for large datasets. This scraper provides a cost-effective alternative for research and analysis purposes.

Troubleshooting

No results or empty dataset?

• Verify that your URLs are valid Zillow property detail pages (should contain /homedetails/)
• Check that properties haven't been removed from Zillow
• Look for "✅ SAVED" messages in the log to confirm data is being extracted
• Enable debugMode to save HTML for inspection

Getting blocked or rate limited?

• Use residential proxies in proxy configuration (recommended)
• Reduce maxConcurrency to 3-5 for safer scraping
• Add delays between requests
• Zillow may block datacenter IPs - residential proxies work best

Missing data fields?

• Some properties may not have all fields (e.g., no HOA fee, no tax history)
• Older listings may have limited data
• Rental properties have different fields than sale properties
• Check the homeStatus field to understand property type

Scraper running slow?

• Reduce maxProperties for faster runs
• Disable includeNearbyHomes (adds extra processing)
• Increase maxConcurrency to 10-15 (if not getting blocked)
• Use faster proxy groups

Import from dataset not working?

• Verify the dataset ID is correct
• Ensure the dataset contains URLs in fields named: url, hdpUrl, detailUrl, or link
• Check that URLs are valid Zillow property pages
