Incorrect Zip Code

The scraped list I created contained numerous listings outside of the zip code I used for my main search parameter. Any ideas on a solution?

Hi, thanks for reaching out, we'll look into it and let you know what can be done.

Hi, I checked your run and there were indeed no listings with the required ZIP code 80001 saved in the dataset. However, when I applied the same search criteria on the Zillow's website, it also searched properties from nearby ZIP codes and no properties from 80001 (see the first screenshot attached). It searched listings from other ZIP codes like 80211 so I tried to use 80211 in my search instead. This way, I got fewer results and all of them were from the correct ZIP code 80211 (see the second screenshot and test run).

So, my understanding is that when there're no properties matching the search criteria, Zillow returns at least nearby properties from other ZIP codes. Whereas when there's at least 1 property matching the search filters precisely, you won't get any nearby results.

Generally, we want our scraper to behave the same way as the search on Zillow's website. But we could filter the results and only keep those that actually match ZIP codes from the input. We'll discuss if this should be the default behavior, even when it's different from Zillow's website. We could also add a new input field to enable/disable nearby results. In the meantime, please make sure that your search criteria yield more than 0 results.

We'll keep you updated about the progress here.
