🏠 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.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to run this actor?

No. You can start right now on the free Apify plan, which includes $5 in free monthly credit. That is enough to run this actor several times and explore the output before committing to anything. Paid plans unlock higher limits, more concurrent runs, and larger datasets. Create a free Apify account here to get started.

🚨 What happens if my run fails or returns no results?

Failed runs are not charged. If the source site changes, proxies get rate-limited, or a specific input matches nothing, re-run the actor or open our contact form and we will investigate. You can also check the run log in the Apify console to see why the run stopped.

📏 How many items can I scrape per run?

Free users are limited to 10 items per run so you can preview the output and confirm the actor works for your use case. Paid users can raise maxItems up to 1,000,000 per run. Upgrade here if you need full scale.

🕒 How fresh is the data?

Every run fetches live data at the moment of execution. There is no cache or delay: the records you get reflect what the source returned at that moment. Schedule the actor to maintain a rolling snapshot of the data you need.

🧑‍💻 Can I call this actor from my own code?

Yes. Apify exposes every actor as a REST endpoint and ships first-class SDKs for Node.js and Python. You can start a run, read the dataset, and handle webhooks from your own app in a few lines. All you need is your Apify API token.

📤 How do I export the data?

Every Apify dataset can be downloaded in one click from the console as CSV, JSON, JSONL, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS. You can also pull results programmatically via the Apify API or stream them into BigQuery, S3, and other destinations through built-in integrations.

📅 Can I schedule the actor to run automatically?

Yes. Use the Apify scheduler to run the actor on any cadence, from hourly to monthly. Results are saved to your dataset and can be delivered to webhooks, email, Slack, cloud storage, or automation tools such as Zapier and Make.
