## 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.

# README

## 🏡 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](https://www.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).

### Why scrape Zillow?

- 📈 **Track the market** — monitor prices, Zestimates, and days-on-market by city or ZIP.
- 🎯 **Build lead lists** — surface fresh for-sale inventory for agents, investors, and data products.
- 🏦 **Source investment deals** — filter by price, beds, baths, and property type.
- 📊 **Feed dashboards & reports** — deliver structured housing data into your BI stack.
- 🤖 **Power AI agents** — supply live Zillow listings to LLM assistants and valuation models.

### 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.

### What data does the Zillow Search Scraper extract?

| | |
|---|---|
| 🏠 Full address | 🏙️ City, state, ZIP |
| 💰 Price (value + label) | 🛏️ Bedrooms |
| 🛁 Bathrooms | 📏 Living area (sqft) |
| 🌳 Lot size + unit | 🏡 Property type |
| 🔖 Status type & text | ⏳ Days on Zillow |
| 💵 Zestimate | 🏦 Rent Zestimate |
| 📍 Latitude & longitude | 📷 Primary photo URL |
| 🔗 Listing detail URL | 🆔 ZPID |
| 🏷️ Listing sub-type | 🧭 Address line 1 |

### How to scrape Zillow in 5 steps

1. Create a free [Apify account](https://console.apify.com/sign-up).
2. Open the **Zillow Search Scraper** and enter a **location** (e.g. `Austin, TX`, `78701`, `Brooklyn, NY`).
3. Optionally set `maxItems`, `minPrice`, `maxPrice`, `minBeds`, `minBaths`, `propertyType`, or `daysOnZillow`.
4. Click **Start** and let the actor page through results.
5. Download your data as **JSON, CSV, or Excel**, or pull it via the Apify API.

### Example input

```json
{
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "minPrice": 400000,
  "maxPrice": 900000,
  "minBeds": 3,
  "propertyType": "SINGLE_FAMILY",
  "daysOnZillow": 30
}
````

### Example output

Each property is returned as a flat JSON record:

```json
{
  "zpid": "29488283",
  "address": "4501 Red River St, Austin, TX 78751",
  "addressLine1": "4501 Red River St",
  "city": "Austin",
  "state": "TX",
  "zipCode": "78751",
  "price": 725000,
  "priceLabel": "$725,000",
  "beds": 3,
  "baths": 2,
  "sqft": 1680,
  "lotSizeSqft": 6534,
  "lotSizeUnit": "sqft",
  "propertyType": "SINGLE_FAMILY",
  "statusType": "FOR_SALE",
  "statusText": "House for sale",
  "daysOnZillow": 12,
  "zestimate": 731400,
  "rentZestimate": 3200,
  "latitude": 30.30542,
  "longitude": -97.72519,
  "detailUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4501-Red-River-St-Austin-TX-78751/29488283_zpid/",
  "imgSrc": "https://photos.zillowstatic.com/fp/abc123-p_e.jpg",
  "listingSubType": { "is_FSBA": true }
}
```

*Field availability depends on what Zillow publishes for each listing. Null fields are omitted from the record.*

### Use cases

- **Investor deal sourcing** — filter by price, beds, and type to surface candidates across a metro.
- **Agent lead lists** — pull fresh for-sale inventory to prospect sellers and buyers.
- **Comparable market analysis** — feed listings + Zestimates into valuation workflows.
- **Price & inventory monitoring** — re-run on a schedule to track new listings and price drops.
- **Market research & dashboards** — power BI reports and housing-trend analytics.
- **AI real estate assistants** — supply live Zillow data to LLM agents and models.

### 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](https://apify.com/themineworks/zillow-property-details) 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:

```javascript
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);
```
