Zillow Lenders Scraper

How it works

This actor allows you to scrape mortgage lender profiles from Zillow.com and extract important details such as lender name, reviews, contact information, loan types, and other relevant data. The scraper is designed to help you gather comprehensive data on mortgage lenders, which can be useful for market research, contact building, or analyzing lender performance and offerings.

Features

• Multiple Search Queries: Supports scraping based on multiple start URLs (just copy and paste the link/url from Zillow.com site), formatted as:
  • https://www.zillow.com/lender-directory/?sort=Relevance&location=East%20Point%20GA&language=English
  • https://www.zillow.com/lender-directory/?sort=Relevance&location=East%20Point%20GA&name=us&language=English&page=1
  • NEW: You can now also provide direct lender profile URLs, for example:
    • https://www.zillow.com/lender-profile/Jonathan%20L%20Harris/

How to Use

1. Set Up: Ensure you have an Apify account and access to the Apify platform.
2. Configure Proxy Settings: (Optional) For enhanced reliability, configure proxy settings, as Zillow employs anti-scraping measures.
3. Provide Start URLs: Copy the link of the lender directory or lender profile from Zillow.com and paste it into the scraper. Make sure the URLs point to lender directory or lender profile pages.
4. Run the Scraper: Execute the scraper and obtain the extracted data in your preferred format, such as JSON, CSV, Excel, or others as supported by Apify.
