Why Zillow Detail Scraper?

There are a lot of ways to pull data from Zillow property pages — here’s what sets Zillow Detail Scraper apart.

Flexible inputs: URLs or address-based

You can feed Zillow home detail URLs directly in startUrls, or provide addresses and let the actor resolve them into Zillow home detail links to scrape. This makes it a practical Zillow listing detail extraction workflow when you start from a lead list rather than a URL list.

Building unit extraction support

For multi-unit buildings, you can enable extracting unit details from the building page using extractBuildingUnits. If units are available and you select a unit-inclusive mode, the actor pushes multiple unit records (instead of only the building-level record), which is ideal for Zillow property details for leads.

Robust scraping with retries and resilience

The actor includes retry logic and resilience to improve success rates when pages are temporarily blocked or rate-limited. If it can’t find property data after all retries, it logs that failure for the specific URL rather than silently skipping the page.

Output structured for downstream use

Results are pushed to the Apify dataset as JSON objects. The actor also performs a small transformation for listingSubType by mapping it into listing_sub_type, helping keep the output consistent for Zillow details scraper pipelines and automated enrichment.

Configuring Your Run

Drop this into your input.json to get started:

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4-Huff-Dr-Greenville-SC-29611/49339396_zpid/" }
  ],
  "addresses": [
    "123 Main St, New York, NY"
  ],
  "propertyStatus": "Sold",
  "extractBuildingUnits": "All",
  "datasetId": "YOUR_DATASET_ID_HERE"
}

Parameter	Required	What It Does
startUrls	⬜	A list of Zillow home detail URLs to scrape (each item must include a url).
addresses	⬜	A list of addresses to resolve and scrape (example format: 123 Main St, New York, NY).
propertyStatus	⬜	Sets the status context for properties in your startUrls (choose Sold, For Sale, or For Rent).
extractBuildingUnits	⬜	Controls which unit details are extracted from a building page (Disabled, All, For Sale, Recently Sold, For Rent, Off Market).
datasetId	⬜	If provided, the actor reads URLs from this Apify Dataset ID and processes them (it pulls items and uses url or link fields that contain zillow.com).

Core Capabilities

URL and address-based Zillow property scraping

Zillow Detail Scraper supports two common entry points: direct Zillow home detail URLs via startUrls, and address-based workflows via addresses. This is especially useful for Zillow web scraping software use cases where you start from CRM addresses and need Zillow listing price and address scraper style detail enrichment.

Unit-level detail extraction when available

When your target Zillow listing represents a building with units, extractBuildingUnits lets you control whether to extract unit details (and how). That enables Zillow listing scraper tool outputs suitable for lead segmentation by unit, not just property.

Clean JSON results pushed per scraped item

The actor pushes extracted records to the Apify dataset as it processes each page. When unit extraction is enabled and units exist, it pushes each unit object; otherwise, it pushes the main property object.

Uses proxy support for more reliable scraping

The actor is designed to scrape Zillow pages with built-in proxy support for better reliability. If no proxy configuration is created successfully, the actor logs a warning that Zillow will almost certainly return 403.

Built-in resilience with retries and fallbacks

It attempts multiple tries per URL (up to 3 retries) and includes fallbacks if the expected page script isn’t present. This helps keep Zillow details scraper runs stable across varied page behavior.

Who Gets the Most Out of This

Here’s how different teams put Zillow Detail Scraper to work:

Real Estate Lead Generation Teams — Turn lists of Zillow property pages into consistent JSON records, then use the output to build targeted outreach lists. With building unit support, they can segment leads by unit where available.

Market Researchers & Data Analysts — Collect Zillow property data scraper outputs for analysis (e.g., unit mix, pricing-related fields, and structured attributes) without writing a custom Zillow extraction script for each new dataset.

Sales and Outreach Managers — Use a mix of URL and address inputs to rapidly enrich leads and reduce manual page-by-page work. Outputs from this Zillow HTML scraper style workflow are easy to export and import into internal tooling.

Automation & Integration Developers — Ingest the actor’s dataset results into pipelines using the Apify API, then connect it to your downstream systems for automated Zillow listing detail extraction jobs.

Freelance Researchers — Deliver structured Zillow property details as a reusable output format for client briefs, especially when clients provide addresses and not URLs.

Step-by-Step: How to Use It

No coding needed. Here's how to run Zillow Detail Scraper from start to finish:

1. Open the actor on Apify — go to console.apify.com and find Zillow Detail Scraper.
2. Enter your inputs — choose startUrls (Zillow home detail URLs) and/or addresses (a list of address strings). Set propertyStatus and extractBuildingUnits based on what you need.
3. Configure proxy settings — enable proxy configuration for better reliability (the actor uses residential proxies by default when available).
4. Hit Run and watch the live log — track each URL being processed and see any per-page retry behavior in logs.
5. View results in the dataset tab — the actor pushes records as it processes each property (or each unit, when enabled).
6. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel — download the dataset in the format you need for reporting or importing.

The whole process takes under 5 minutes to set up.

Pricing & Free Trial

Zillow Detail Scraper runs on the Apify platform, which offers a free tier — no credit card required to get started. You can begin with several test runs using the included platform credits on sign-up, then scale based on your workload.

Pay-as-you-go works through Apify’s billing model for compute units (CU), so you only pay for the compute used during your runs rather than a fixed monthly scrape quota. Start for free at apify.com and scale when you're ready.

Reliability & Performance

What We Handle	How
Rate limiting	Detects rate-limited responses and waits before retrying
Temporary blocks	Retries with resilience and logs failures after all attempts
Anti-bot page behavior	Uses a real browser rendering approach so the required page data can load
Proxy support	Supports proxy configurations to improve scraping reliability
Error visibility	Logs per-URL success/failure so you can assess run quality quickly

Limitations: This actor works with publicly accessible pages. If a page doesn’t provide the expected structured data, the actor may not return a record for that URL after retries.

For enterprise-scale runs, contact us to discuss custom configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free plan or trial?

Yes. Apify offers a free tier with platform credits on sign-up, which is enough for several test runs of Zillow Detail Scraper before you scale up.

Do I need to log in to Zillow to use this?

No. Zillow Detail Scraper is designed to scrape property details from publicly accessible listing pages, without requiring an account login for the actor.

How accurate is the data?

The actor extracts property details from the loaded page data and returns what it can find in the page’s structured content. Accuracy depends on what Zillow provides for each property, including whether building units and unit-level details are present.

How many results can I get per run?

The actor processes every URL derived from startUrls, every page resolved from addresses, and every Zillow URL found from the provided datasetId. There’s no hard-coded “max results” in the actor inputs—your practical limit depends on your run size and your Apify plan.

How often is the data updated / how fresh is it?

Freshness matches when you run the actor. If you rerun Zillow Detail Scraper against the same URLs or addresses on a new schedule, you’ll get a newly captured snapshot of the current Zillow property details.

Is this legal? Does it comply with GDPR / CCPA?

You must ensure your use of the scraped data complies with applicable privacy laws and the platform’s terms. Zillow Detail Scraper only accesses publicly available data, and it’s your responsibility to handle it lawfully and responsibly.

Can I export results to Google Sheets or Excel?

Yes. You can export from the Apify dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel, and then import into Google Sheets or other tools as needed. If you’re using automation, you can also connect via Apify integrations and APIs.

Can I run this on a schedule automatically?

Yes. You can schedule runs in Apify so Zillow Detail Scraper refreshes listings on a recurring basis, which is useful for ongoing Zillow listing detail extraction and lead refresh workflows.

Can I access this via API?

Yes. You can trigger and retrieve results programmatically using the Apify API. For details, see https://apify.com/docs/api.

What happens if the actor hits an error?

If the actor can’t load property data for a URL after the retry attempts, it logs that the page failed to scrape after all retries. Results are pushed for successful pages/units during the run, so you keep successful captures even if some pages fail.
