## Pricing

from $1.60 / 1,000 record scrapeds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

## Real Estate Agent Database — Zillow Directory Scraper

A contact and performance database for real estate agents, built from Zillow's agent directory. Search by state or city and get back names, license numbers, and the numbers that actually tell you if an agent is any good.

***

### Zillow Agent Scraper Features

- Searches Zillow's agent directory by state and city, across all 50 states plus DC
- Returns license number, brokerage, and contact details for every agent found
- Captures specialties, languages, and areas served — the fields that qualify a lead before you call it
- Pulls review rating, review count, and (when the agent reports it) sales in the last 12 months and price range
- Deduplicates agents who show up in multiple nearby-city searches, so you don't pay for the same record twice

***

### Who Uses Agent Directory Data?

- **Mortgage lenders** — build a referral list of active agents by market, filtered by license status and recent sales volume
- **Proptech and CRM vendors** — seed a national agent database without hand-collecting license numbers state by state
- **Marketing agencies** — target outreach by specialty (relocation, luxury, first-time buyers) instead of blasting every agent in a zip code
- **Brokerages and recruiters** — scout producing agents in a target market by sales activity and review count

***

### How the Zillow Agent Scraper Works

1. You pick one or more states (or leave it blank for the whole country) and a record limit.
2. The actor searches Zillow's agent directory city by city within your selected states.
3. Each agent card found is opened for the full profile — contact info, license, specialties, service areas, and sales stats.
4. Records stream to your dataset as they're collected, deduplicated by agent so overlapping city searches never double-charge you.

### Input

```json
{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "states": ["TX", "CA"],
  "maxPagesPerCity": 5
}
```

| Field             | Type            | Default | Description |
|-------------------|-----------------|---------|-------------|
| `maxItems`        | integer         | 10      | Maximum number of agent records to return. |
| `states`          | array of string | all     | US states to search, as 2-letter codes (e.g. `["TX", "CA", "NY"]`). Leave empty to search every state. |
| `maxPagesPerCity` | integer         | 5       | How deep to paginate each city search (Zillow caps results at 25 pages per city). Lower it to spread a fixed `maxItems` budget across more cities; raise it to go deeper on fewer cities. |

#### Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a `resumeCursor` in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit `maxItems`, your spend cap (`maxTotalChargeUsd`), or was aborted — start a new run with **the same input** plus that `resumeCursor` to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

- You are **not re-charged** for records the earlier run already delivered.
- Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its `resumeCursor` is no longer valid.
- `resumeCursor` is opaque — supply it unmodified.

Not every field is populated for every agent — `recent_sales_count`, `average_price_range`, and `languages` are self-reported, and plenty of agents leave them blank on their own profile. The rest come straight off the directory and profile page, so they're there whenever Zillow has them.

### FAQ

#### How do I search agents in a specific state?

Pass the two-letter state code(s) in the `states` array — `["TX"]` for Texas, `["TX", "OK"]` for both. Leave it empty and the actor searches every state.

#### Why does an agent's `state` field not match the state I searched?

Zillow's directory search is radius-based, not a strict city-limits filter — an agent found in a Wyoming search can have their licensed business address in a neighboring state if they hold reciprocal licenses and work across the line. Check `areas_served` for confirmation the agent actually covers the market you searched.

#### Why are some fields empty?

`languages`, `recent_sales_count`, and `average_price_range` are self-reported by the agent on their own Zillow profile. An agent who never filled those in on Zillow won't have them here either.

#### Can I get every agent in a state in one run?

Yes — set `states` to the state you want and `maxItems` high enough to cover it. Large states will need multiple runs; use `resumeCursor` to continue where the previous run left off.

### Why Use This Scraper?

- **License numbers, not just names** — every record carries the agent's real estate license number, so you can verify who you're actually contacting.
- **Performance signals included** — rating, review count, and (when reported) recent sales volume and price range, so you can rank leads instead of cold-calling a flat list.
- **National by default** — no state-by-state scraper hunting. Point it at the whole country or narrow to exactly the markets you need.

# Actor input Schema

## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`):

What will this data feed? E.g. lead lists, KYB checks, price tracking.

## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`):

Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

## `sp_contact` (type: `string`):

We'll personally help with your use case. No spam.

## `resumeCursor` (type: `string`):

Leave empty for a fresh crawl. To CONTINUE a previous run where it stopped — without paying again for records you already received — paste the `resumeCursor` value from that run's Output (the run's OUTPUT key). Resume promptly: the previous run's data expires with your account's retention window (free tier: your ~10 most recent runs).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of agent records to scrape

## `states` (type: `array`):

US states to search (2-letter codes). Leave empty to search all states.

## `maxPagesPerCity` (type: `integer`):

How many result pages to paginate through per city search (16 agents/page after the first page of 6; Zillow caps at 25 pages/city). Lower this to spread a fixed maxItems budget across more cities; raise it to go deeper on fewer cities.

## Actor input object example

  "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...",
  "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...",
  "sp_contact": "Share your email here...",

  "states": [],
  "maxPagesPerCity": 5
