Zillow Search Scraper This Apify Actor scrapes property listings from Zillow based on a location search query. It supports searching properties that are For Sale, For Rent, or have been Sold. ## Features - Search properties by location query (e.g. city names, addresses) - Filter by listing type (For Sale, For Rent, Sold) - Get detailed property information - Handles pagination automatically - Robust error handling and retry mechanisms - Bypasses Zillow's anti-scraping protections ## Installation ### Prerequisites - Python 3.9+ - Apify CLI (optional, for local development) ### Deployment to Apify 1.
