🏠 Zillow Rentals Scraper

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-05

Whether you're a real estate investor tracking rental yields, a property manager monitoring market rates, or a data analyst studying housing trends, this actor makes it easy to extract rental listing data from Zillow at scale.

The Zillow Rentals Scraper extracts rental property listings from any US location on Zillow.com, with 38 data fields per listing, plus parallel page fetching for fast collection.

✨ What Does It Do

• 🏠 Complete rental data - prices, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and property type for every listing
• 📍 Any US location - search Los Angeles, New York, Miami, or any city, neighborhood, or ZIP code on Zillow
• 📸 Full photo galleries - every listing image URL, not just the thumbnail
• 🏢 Building-level detail - multi-unit apartment buildings broken down into individual units with per-unit pricing
• 💰 Market intelligence - rent Zestimates, Zestimates, days on market, and listing status
• ⚡ Fast parallel collection - fetches multiple pages simultaneously for rapid data gathering
• 🔗 Direct listing links - every result includes the full Zillow URL for easy verification

🔧 Input

Zillow Rental Search URL - Go to zillow.com, search for rentals in any area, apply filters (price range, bedrooms, pet-friendly, etc.), then paste the full URL from your browser. The scraper picks up all your filter settings automatically.

Maximum Items - How many rental listings to collect. Free users get up to 10 items as a preview. Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 listings.

Proxy Configuration - Zillow requires residential proxies for reliable access. The default configuration uses Apify's US residential proxy pool, which works out of the box.
