## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Zillow Scraper — For Sale, For Rent & Sold, with the full filter set

Scrape Zillow listings the way the site's own search works: pick a city, ZIP or neighborhood,
apply the filters you'd click in the app, and get clean structured records back. No cookies, no
login, no API key.

### What makes this one different

Most Zillow scrapers give you a location and a price range. This one exposes **the filters the
site actually has** — home type, sale status (FSBO, foreclosure, coming soon, pending, auction),
lot size, year built, HOA cap, days on Zillow, keyword search, and amenities like pool,
waterfront, garage, single-story or 3D tour. It also handles all three markets: **for sale, for
rent, and recently sold**.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `searchQuery` | `Austin, TX` | City, ZIP, neighborhood or county |
| `listingType` | `forSale` | `forSale`, `forRent` or `sold` |
| `sortBy` | `days` | Days on Zillow, price up/down, newest, beds, baths, sqft, lot size, relevance |
| `maxItems` | `10` | Zillow caps any one search near 800 — narrow the filters to reach deeper inventory |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | — | Monthly rent when `listingType` is `forRent` |
| `minBeds` / `maxBeds` | — | 0 includes studios |
| `minBaths` / `maxBaths` | — | Halves allowed (1.5) |
| `minSqft` / `maxSqft` | — | Living area |
| `minLotSize` / `maxLotSize` | — | Square feet (1 acre = 43,560) |
| `minYearBuilt` / `maxYearBuilt` | — | Year built range |
| `maxHoa` | — | Max monthly HOA dues |
| `homeTypes` | all | Houses, townhomes, condos, multi-family, apartments, lots/land, manufactured |
| `saleStatus` | Zillow default | By agent, FSBO, new construction, foreclosure, auction, coming soon, pending, accepting backup offers |
| `soldInLastDays` | any | 7 / 30 / 90 / 180 / 365 / 1095 — recently-sold searches |
| `daysOnZillow` | any | 1 day up to 36 months |
| `features` | — | Pool, A/C, waterfront, basement, garage, single story, city/water/park/mountain view, 3D tour, open house |
| `rentalFeatures` | — | Large dogs, small dogs, cats, in-unit laundry, on-site parking, accepts applications, income restricted, entire place, room for rent |
| `keywords` | — | Free text, e.g. `casita`, `no hoa`, `workshop` |

### Output

```json

  "zpid": "70335246",

  "dateSold": null,
  "imageUrl": "https://photos.zillowstatic.com/...",
  "detailUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/..."
}
```

Rental listings also carry `priceIsFrom` (true when the price is a building's "from" rate rather
than one unit) and `unitCount`.

### Proxy

Zillow blocks datacenter IPs outright. **Residential proxy is required** and is the default — the
actor warms a browser-like session on a sticky exit and rotates to a new one if a request is
refused. You don't need to configure anything.

### Use cases

Comparative market analysis, rent and price benchmarking, investment screening, lead lists for
agents, tracking new inventory in a farm area, and feeding valuation models with sold comparables.

### Notes and limits

- Any single search tops out around 800 results (Zillow's own limit, 41 per page × 20 pages).
  Split by ZIP or price band to cover a large market completely.
- `daysOnZillow` resets when a listing is relisted, so treat very low values with care.
- Sold searches need `soldInLastDays` to be useful; without it Zillow returns a long tail.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
