Zillow Scraper

What does Zillow Scraper do?

Zillow Scraper reads Zillow's own location search page and returns the address, price, beds/baths, square footage, home type, days on market, price reduction history, open house details, broker name and image for each listing. Give it a city, zip code, or a full search URL with your own filters already applied.

Why use Zillow Scraper?

• Covers Zillow, the single largest and most-visited real estate marketplace in the US.
• Returns days-on-market and price-reduction history directly, useful for finding motivated sellers.
• Captures open house details and broker/agent attribution alongside the listing.
• Works with any location - city, zip code, or a full filtered search URL copied from your browser.
• No account or API key.

What makes this different

Most real estate scrapers return a price and an address. This Actor also surfaces Zillow's own days-on-market and price-reduction signals directly from the site's own data, useful for spotting price drops and stale listings at a glance.

Who can use the Zillow Scraper and how?

• Home buyers: Monitor a specific city or zip code for new listings and price drops.
• Real estate investors: Screen for days-on-market and price-reduction signals across a market.
• Agents and brokers: Track competitor listings and pricing by neighborhood.
• Market researchers: Study price distributions and inventory by home type and location.

How it works

1. Your input — give it a city/zip, or paste a full Zillow search URL with your own filters
2. The Actor collects it — the Actor reads that location's own search-results page directly
3. Your output — you get one row per listing, with price, specs and market signals

Tips for Best Results

• Apply your filters directly on zillow.com first, then copy that URL in for the most control.
• Re-run on a schedule with the same location to catch new listings and price drops.
• Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

Known Limitations

• Pulls from a single search-results page per run, not every page of a very large market.
• openHouse only reflects what's currently scheduled, not historical open houses.

Integrations

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or from a webhook. Send results straight to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack or your own database with Apify's built-in integrations.

Export Formats

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS from the Output tab or the API.

Up to 200 per run from a single location's search-results page.
