🏠 Zillow Rentals Scraper

🚀 Pull US rental listings from Zillow in minutes. Prices, addresses, beds, baths, photo galleries, broker info, Zestimates. No API key, no manual CSV wrangling.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-08 · 📊 35+ fields per listing · 📍 Any US location · 🚫 No auth required

Pull live US rental property listings from Zillow.com. The actor accepts any Zillow rental search URL (you build it on zillow.com with the filters you want), walks the result pages, and returns one structured row per property ready for analysis, dashboards, CRM imports, or investment workflows.

Every run fetches data live, so you get the current state of Zillow at run time, not a stale dump. Multi-unit apartment buildings are broken down into individual units with per-unit pricing. Records include image galleries, geo coordinates, listing status, days on Zillow, and Zestimate values where Zillow exposes them.

📋 What the Zillow Rentals Scraper does

• 📍 Any US location. Pass any Zillow rental search URL: a city, neighborhood, ZIP, or saved filter.
• 🏠 Full property details. Address, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, sqft, property type, and listing status.
• 📸 Image galleries. Primary photo plus the full gallery URL list.
• 💰 Market signals. Zestimate, rent Zestimate, days on Zillow, deposit ranges, and lease terms.
• 🏢 Multi-unit buildings. Buildings broken down into individual units with per-unit pricing.
• 📍 Geocoded. Latitude and longitude on every record for mapping and proximity queries.

The scraper accepts the URL of any Zillow rentals search page. Set it once in zillow.com with all the filters you want (price range, beds, pets, etc.) and the actor inherits them. It paginates the result set, fetches detail pages in parallel, and returns clean records.

💡 Why it matters: Zillow has the largest US rental inventory but its UI is paginated, JS-rendered, and rate-limited. A live, structured pull beats manual scraping for investment research, market intelligence, and CRM lead generation.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Name	Description
listingUrl	string	Zillow Rental Search URL	Required. Any Zillow rentals URL (city, neighborhood, ZIP, or saved filter). Filters in the URL are inherited automatically.
maxItems	integer	Max Items	Free users: limited to 10 items (preview). Paid users: optional, max 1,000,000.
proxyConfig	object	Proxy Configuration	Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify residential proxy (US country) which is required for reliable Zillow access.

Example 1. Los Angeles rentals, 50 items.

{
  "listingUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/los-angeles-ca/rentals/",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Example 2. Pet-friendly Miami apartments under $3,000.

{
  "listingUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/miami-fl/rentals/?searchQueryState=%7B%22filterState%22%3A%7B%22price%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3A3000%7D%2C%22pets%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Atrue%7D%7D%7D",
  "maxItems": 100
}

⚠️ Good to Know: Zillow requires residential proxies. The default proxyConfig uses Apify's US residential pool which works out of the box.
