Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your listingUrl is a valid Zillow rentals search URL and that Zillow shows listings for that area. Also make sure maxItems is at least 1.
Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?
The Actor stops when Zillow has no more listings for that search URL. Try broadening your filters or using a larger area.
Why are some fields empty?
Zillow sometimes omits data for certain listings. Empty fields mean the information was not present on the page.
Why did I get blocked or see a CAPTCHA?
Zillow may rate-limit aggressive scraping. Try running with a lower maxItems, use a proxy, or space out your runs.
Can I scrape a specific rental listing by URL?
This Actor is designed for search result pages, not individual listing detail pages. For individual listings, use a Zillow detail scraper.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need a Zillow API key? | No. This Actor reads the public Zillow rental search pages directly. You only need a valid Zillow rentals search URL. |
| How do I get the right URL? | Go to zillow.com, search for rentals in your desired area, apply any filters you want, then copy the full URL from your browser and paste it into the listingUrl input. |
| Can I scrape more than one city at a time? | Each run takes one URL. To cover multiple cities, run the Actor once per city URL, or use a Zillow search URL that already spans multiple areas. |
