## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

### What this does
```mermaid
flowchart LR
A[Paste Zillow URL
or city name] --> B[Fetch search page]
B --> C[Parse listings blob]
C --> D[Filter + flag rows]
D --> E[JSON dataset]
````
One input, one clean dataset. No browser automation to write, no captcha to solve, no proxy to manage.
***
### Why people use it
| Role | Job it does |
|---|---|
| Real estate investor | Spot homes priced below Zestimate in target zips. |
| Wholesaler | Track price cuts and stale listings for outreach. |
| Market analyst | Pull daily inventory to chart supply by metro. |
| Proptech builder | Feed Zillow rows into a valuation model. |
| Agent | Watch new listings in a farm area the minute they hit. |
| Rental operator | Benchmark rents by neighborhood. |
***
### Quick start
Paste any Zillow search URL you see in your browser. That is the whole input.
```json
{
"searchUrls": ["https://www.zillow.com/homes/Austin-TX_rb/"],
"maxPages": 3
}
```
Three common variations:
```json
{ "locations": ["78704"], "listingType": "sold" }
```
```json
{ "locations": ["Denver, CO"], "listingType": "for_rent", "maxPrice": 3500 }
```
```json
{ "searchUrls": ["https://www.zillow.com/homes/Austin-TX_rb/"], "dedupe": false }
```
The last one turns off dedupe so you can run it on a schedule and build your own price history table.
***
### What you get back
```json
{
"zpid": "331621763",
"address": "14901 Ben Davis Dr, Austin, TX 78725",
"city": "Austin",
"state": "TX",
"zip": "78725",
"price": 299000,
"beds": 4,
"baths": 2,
"sqft": 2047,
"lotSize": 6930,
"zestimate": 297700,
"rentZestimate": 2174,
"daysOnMarket": 3,
"flags": ["new_listing", "below_zestimate"],
"url": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/..."
}
```
Flags are the fastest way to filter downstream. No need to re read titles.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
A[Row flags] --> B[new_listing]
A --> C[price_cut]
A --> D[below_zestimate]
A --> E[stale_listing]
A --> F[pending / sold / foreclosure]

### Zillow scraper vs the alternatives
| | MLS IDX feed | Zillow public API | **This actor** |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who can use it | Licensed brokers | Closed since 2021 | Anyone |
| Setup | Weeks | Not available | 60 seconds |
| Zestimate | No | Yes | Yes |
| Sold comps | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Rentals | Partial | Yes | Yes |
| Price history | Yes | Yes | Yes (dedupe off) |
| Cost | $500+ /mo | Closed | Pay per item |
***
### Pricing
First 50 rows per run are free. After that you pay per row. A daily snapshot of 200 Austin listings runs under $3.
***
### FAQ
**Is there a public Zillow API?**
No. Zillow closed the public API in 2021. This actor reads the same HTML a browser sees.
**Does it return the Zestimate?**
Yes. Every row that has a Zestimate on the search page returns one.
**Can I scrape rentals?**
Yes. Set `listingType` to `for_rent` or paste a rental URL.
**Can I scrape sold comps?**
Yes. Set `listingType` to `sold` or paste a sold URL.
**Can I track price changes over time?**
Yes. Set `dedupe: false` and schedule it daily. Each row stamps `scrapedAt` so you build your own history.
**Does Zillow block scrapers?**
Yes, aggressively on datacenter IPs. The actor uses residential proxy by default.
**What is a zpid?**
Zillow Property ID. A stable unique id per listing. Used as the dedupe key.
**Is scraping Zillow legal?**
This actor reads public HTML a browser can see. Respect the site terms and rate limit sensibly.
