❓FAQ
Is there a Zillow API?
Around 20 of them. Zillow offers several APIs to facilitate access to its rich real estate data, for example, Zillow Property Details API or Zillow Neighborhood Data API. However, it's worth noting that Zillow's API offerings are subject to change, and their availability or the details of their functionality might vary. Additionally, accessing these APIs usually requires an API key, and there may be usage limitations or costs associated with high-volume use. Which is why a lot of people opt for scrapers and crawlers as a stand-in for a web scraping API, e.g. 🏘 Zillow Search Scraper.
Why would anyone scrape Zillow?
Zillow has over 110 million properties in its database, more than 245 million monthly unique visitors, and 80% of all homes in the United States have been viewed on the website.
So what could you do with all that real estate listings data?
- Use the data to add value to your real estate business by providing extra information to your visitors.
- Extract business intelligence to predict the future of the real estate market, track demographic changes, and identify popular new neighborhoods.
- Make smarter investment decisions by ensuring that you understand how the market is changing.
- Automate real estate agency lead generation and make sure that you can find, and keep, the right clients in the long term.
- Find new ways to provide tech services to real estate agencies and local listing agencies.
- Train AI models to predict future trends and act fast when opportunities arise.
These are just some ideas to get you thinking about how web scraping can give you the data you need.
How much does Zillow Search Scraper cost?
This scraper uses the Pay-per-result pricing model, so your costs can be easily calculated: it will cost you $2 to scrape 1,000 search results, so $0.002 per item. It is possible to limit the number of output items in input configuration, under the last Options section.
Apify provides you with $5 free usage credits every month on the Apify Free plan, so you can get 2,500 results for free for those credits from Zillow.
But if you need more data or to extract data regularly, you should get an Apify subscription. We recommend our $49/month Starter plan — you could get up to 24,500 Zillow results every month with the monthly plan.
Can I integrate Zillow Scraper with other apps?
Yes. Zillow Search Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can integrate with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, LangChain and more.
Or you can use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g. get a notification whenever Zillow Search Scraper successfully finishes a run.

What scraping modes does Zillow Search Scraper support?
This scraper offers three modes: Map markers, and Pagination with and without zooming in. The first two modes are useful if you want to quickly get a sample of results from a given area, or if you want to know which results Zillow shows on the first pages(for example to find out if your property is featured).
The third mode, Pagination with zoom-in, takes longer but is the most powerful, and therefore is the default.
Map markers
This mode is the simplest of them all: the scraper simply loads the map from your search request and then returns data from each of the markers visible on the map. This mode is the fastest, but it only returns a limited number of results.
Pagination without zooming in
This mode loads the map for your search requests and then iterates through the pages of results that you can see on the right-hand side of the page. Zillow shows up to 20 pages of 41 items each, so this mode can extract up to 820 results from a single search.
Pagination + zooming in
This mode is the most powerful, since it can return all results from any given area. Note that the number of results found can be even larger than what Zillow shows you on the website, and therefore the scrape can be quite expensive too!
How it works: The scraper loads the map for a given area. It returns the items from the first page and checks the total number of pages available. If there are 20 pages (= the maximum that Zillow offers), it splits the map into 4 parts and repeats the process with increased zoom for each of them. Finally, when it reaches a zoom level where there are less than 20 pages of results for the given map area, it returns the results from all of them.
A big advantage of this approach is that you aren't wasting money on scraping both dense areas and areas with few results at the zoom level - the scraper only zooms in if it needs to do so in order to get complete results. Using this method, it is possible to scrape over 600 thousand results from a single search!
Can I use Zillow Search Scraper data with API?
Yes, by using Apify API. This API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors.

Can I use this Zillow Search API in Python?

Is it legal to scrape Zillow data?
It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as property prices, availability, or street address. However, you should be aware that the results from your Zillow scrape might contain personal information.
Personal data is protected by GDPR (EU Regulation 2016/679), and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, please consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping.
