🏡 Zillow Scraper — Redfin, HouseCanary, ATTOM Data & CoreLogic Alternative

Scrape Zillow listings + Zestimates by city, ZIP, or URL — addresses, list / sale prices, beds, baths, sqft, lot, year built, Zestimate, Rent Zestimate, days on market, price history, tax history, school ratings, photos, and agent details. Built as a pay-per-result alternative to the Zillow public API (deprecated), Redfin direct (limited), HouseCanary ($$$$), ATTOM Data, and CoreLogic for investors, brokerages, PropTech builders, and analysts.

Why Zillow Scraper Beats HouseCanary, ATTOM Data, CoreLogic & Manual Browsing

Most investors, PropTech builders, and brokerages pick this actor instead of HouseCanary / CoreLogic because their per-record cost runs $0.50-$5 with annual contracts and minimums in the tens of thousands; this actor returns the Zillow surface (Zestimate, price history, days on market, school ratings) at $0.005 per listing with no contract. Cheaper than ATTOM Data at any volume and a drop-in alternative to the long-deprecated Zillow public API for teams that need Zillow's surface, not a proprietary AVM.

What You Get Per Listing

Each dataset item is a flat JSON record:

• zpid, address, city, state, zip, lat, lng
• home_type — single-family / condo / townhouse / multi / land
• status — for-sale / pending / sold / off-market / for-rent
• list_price, last_sold_price, last_sold_date
• zestimate, rent_zestimate, zestimate_low, zestimate_high
• beds, baths, sqft, lot_size, year_built, parking
• price_history — array of {date, price, event} (listed / price-change / sold / etc.)
• tax_history — array of {year, tax_paid, assessment}
• school_ratings — array of {name, level, rating, distance}
• walk_score, transit_score, bike_score
• description, features, photos — listing imagery URLs
• days_on_market, days_on_zillow
• listing_agent, agent_phone, agent_email, broker
• mortgage_estimate_monthly

• Appraisers — pull comps with full price history + tax history in a single call
• Relocation services — generate market-snapshot reports for corporate-relocation clients
• Academic + policy — fair-housing, school-rating, and gentrification studies

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result / item: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
