🏡 Zillow Search Scraper — Listings & Zestimate Data

What is the Zillow Search Scraper?

The Zillow Search Scraper extracts for-sale real estate listings from Zillow.com by city, ZIP code, or neighborhood — returning clean, structured JSON for every property, with no login and no API key. Give it a location and get back address, price, beds, baths, square footage, Zestimate, days on market, coordinates, and the listing URL for hundreds of homes in a single run.

Built lean and HTTP-only (no browser, 512 MB), it runs on Apify residential proxies and bills pay-per-result — the first 25 properties are free (lifetime), then just $1 per 1,000 results ($0.001 each).

Go beyond the limits of the official Zillow API

Zillow's official APIs are deprecated, gated behind partner agreements, and cap what you can pull — and none of them give you the full public search results you see on the site. This actor queries Zillow's own search endpoints directly, resolving any location string to a region automatically, so you are not blocked by API keys, partner approval, or per-call quotas. You control the location, the filters, and the volume. No API key, no account, no browser.

FAQ

Do I need a Zillow account or API key?

No. The scraper requires no login, no cookies, and no API key. You only need an Apify account to run it.

What is the Zestimate field?

The Zestimate is Zillow's automated valuation estimate for a home; rentZestimate is its estimated monthly rent. Both are returned when Zillow publishes them for a listing.

How much does the Zillow Search Scraper cost?

Pay-per-result: the first 25 properties are free (lifetime), then $1 per 1,000 results ($0.001 per property). You only pay for properties actually returned.

Can I enrich results with full property details?

Yes. Feed the detailUrl or zpid from this actor into the Zillow Property Details Scraper to pull price history, tax history, schools, HOA, and more.

Is scraping Zillow legal?

Scraping publicly available listing data is generally permissible, but results may include personal data protected under laws like GDPR. Ensure you have a legitimate purpose and comply with applicable regulations.

Use in Claude, ChatGPT & any MCP agent

This actor is available as a hosted MCP server, so AI agents can call it directly:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/zillow-search-scraper

Add that endpoint to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client and ask it to pull Zillow listings on demand. Or call it from code with the Apify client:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('themineworks/zillow-search-scraper').call({
  location: 'Austin, TX',
  maxItems: 100,
  minBeds: 3,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
