Tips for Best Results

Use Strong Search URLs

• Start from valid Zoopla search result pages.
• Keep URL filters aligned to your exact use case.
• Validate each URL manually before long runs.

Scale Gradually

• Start with a smaller results_wanted for validation.
• Increase volume after confirming field quality.
• Split very large jobs across multiple runs.

Keep Proxy Settings Consistent

• Use UK residential proxy settings for stable access.
• Avoid switching proxy profiles mid-workflow.
• Re-run failed jobs with the same proxy strategy.

Build Repeatable Monitoring

• Schedule runs at regular intervals.
• Store snapshots by run date for trend analysis.
• Compare normalized fields such as priceValue over time.

Proxy Configuration

Recommended proxy setup:

{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "countryCode": "GB"
  }
}

If UK residential proxies are not available in your account, the actor automatically falls back to alternative proxy strategies so runs can continue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many listings can I collect in one run?

You can set the results_wanted value based on your needs. Start smaller for testing, then increase for production runs.

Can I run multiple location searches at once?

Yes. Use startUrls to pass multiple Zoopla search URLs and collect data in one actor run.

Will the output include empty or null fields?

No. Output records are cleaned to remove null values automatically.

Are coordinates and impressions included?

No. Coordinate-related fields and impression arrays are removed from output records.

Why are some optional fields missing on certain listings?

Some listings do not publish every attribute. The actor returns only available non-null values.
