It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ### What does Zillow Scraper do? **Zillow Scraper** extracts **every home for sale, for rent or recently sold in any US place** β€” a city, a ZIP code, a county, a neighborhood, or any Zillow search link with your filters β€” with price, Zestimate and Rent Zestimate, beds, baths, square feet, lot, home type, days on Zillow, price cuts, tax assessed value, broker and coordinates. Turn on **listing details** and each home also comes with its **price history, tax history, schools, every fact Zillow lists** (heating, cooling, parking, HOA, appliances, construction…), **listing agent and broker, page views and saves**, description and all photos. Apartment buildings come with **each floor plan and every available unit's rent and move-in date**. **It reads whole cities.** Zillow shows at most 820 listings per search, which is why other scrapers stop there. This one splits the map into cells until each one fits and returns every listing in the area, once: **Austin for sale, 5,090 homes in 20 seconds**. ### Why use it? - 🏘️ **Real estate investing** β€” every listing of a market with price, Zestimate, rent estimate and days on market, to find deals and estimate yields. - πŸ“‰ **Market analysis** β€” inventory, price cuts and days on Zillow by ZIP code or neighborhood; recently sold homes with their sale price and date for comps. - 🏒 **Rental research** β€” apartment buildings with every floor plan, each available unit's rent and move-in date, fees, pets and special offers. - πŸ”” **Monitoring** β€” schedule it on a search and see new listings, price changes and homes going pending. - πŸ€– **Feed dashboards, CRMs, sheets and AI agents** β€” JSON, CSV or Excel, or straight into Google Sheets, Make or Zapier through Apify integrations. ### Features - βœ… **By place, search link or property link** β€” type `Austin, TX`, `78704` or `Brooklyn, NY`; paste a Zillow search link with any filters (price, beds, baths, home type, keywords, the map area you drew); or paste home and building links, or bare zpids. - βœ… **For sale, for rent, recently sold** β€” pick the listing type for places; search links carry their own. - βœ… **Full coverage** β€” past Zillow's 820-result limit, the whole area cell by cell, each property once. - βœ… **Homes, buildings and new-construction communities** β€” each row says which (`kind`), with the fields that fit it. - βœ… **Listing details** β€” price history, tax history, schools with ratings, ~190 facts, agent and broker with phones, MLS id, parcel id, HOA, property tax rate, page views and saves, description, all photos in full size. - βœ… **Apartment buildings** β€” floor plans with beds, baths, square feet and price range, every available unit with its rent and move-in date, amenities, pets, special offers, walk/transit/bike scores, phone and manager. - βœ… **Hard limits and fair billing** β€” the maximum per search is a hard stop, the spending limit is checked before any page is read, a property found twice is charged once, and links Zillow does not know are reported and **not charged**.

A place it takes for a single property is reported, not searched. - **Full coverage** reads a city of ~5,000 listings with ~35 requests in about 20 seconds. Rentals are mostly buildings: a big city has tens of thousands of units in a few thousand buildings. - **Listing details** cost one request per property: about 30 homes in 25 seconds. New-construction communities are returned from the search without a page. - Prices are in US dollars; rents are monthly. ### Is it legal to scrape Zillow? This Actor reads only data Zillow shows publicly to anyone, without logging in. Listing agents' and brokers' names and phone numbers are the business contacts Zillow publishes with each listing. Scraping public data is generally legal; still, make sure your use complies with Zillow's terms and the laws that apply to you, and use it responsibly. Read Apify's [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/) guide. ### Your feedback Missing a field or a filter? Open an issue on the **Issues** tab: issues are answered, and the Actor is checked against the live site so it keeps working when Zillow changes. # Actor input Schema ## `locations` (type: `array`): Places as you would type them on Zillow: Austin, TX, 78704, Brooklyn, NY, a county or a neighborhood. Zillow covers the United States. ## `listingType` (type: `string`): What to search for in the locations above. Search links carry their own. ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Zillow search links, with every filter they carry (price, beds, baths, home type, keywords) and the map area you drew or moved to. Set the filters on Zillow, then paste the address bar here. ## `propertyUrls` (type: `array`): Homes (https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/…\_zpid/ or just the zpid number) and apartment buildings (https://www.zillow.com/apartments/…). Each one is read from its own page, with all its details. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Read each property's own page too: description, price history, tax history, schools, every fact Zillow lists (heating, parking, HOA, appliances…), agent and broker, page views and saves, all photos; for an apartment building, its floor plans with each available unit's rent and move-in date. One extra request per property, and the price of a property with details. ## `maxItemsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): 0 = everything the search finds. A hard limit: nothing past it is read or charged. ## `fullCoverage` (type: `boolean`): Zillow shows at most 820 listings per search and answers about 500 per map area. On, a search with more is read map cell by map cell until every listing is in. Off, only the first answer. ## Actor input object example ```json { "locations": [ "78704" ], "listingType": "forSale", "searchUrls": [], "propertyUrls": [], "includeDetails": false, "maxItemsPerSearch": 20, "fullCoverage": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `properties` (type: `string`): No description ## `summary` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
