Zillow Search Actor

Extract structured data from Zillow property search results. This actor is designed for developers needing to collect real estate listings at scale without writing code.

Overview

This actor scrapes and outputs data from Zillow's property search pages. You provide a search region, and it returns a dataset of matching listings. It handles the scraping logic and proxy rotation, delivering results in a structured JSON format.

Note: This is a paid actor. Usage is not included in the free Apify plan. Check https://apify.com/pricing?fpr=python_automation for details.

Key Features

• Structured Data Extraction: Pulls key fields from search results like price, address, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and Zillow's property URL.
• No-Code Operation: Configure via input settings; no need to build a scraper.
• Built-in Proxy Handling: Manages proxy requirements for large-scale runs.
• Cost-Effective: Priced at $1.99 per 1,000 results. No additional proxy or usage fees.
• Reliable & Maintained: The scraping logic is regularly updated to match Zillow's site changes.

How to Use

You run the actor by providing an input configuration. The primary required parameter is a region_id, which defines the geographic area to search (e.g., a city or ZIP code).

Getting a region_id:
Use the companion actor Zillow Region Search to find the correct ID for your target location.

Getting Detailed Property Data:
This actor returns summary data from search listings. For in-depth details on a specific property (like year built, lot size, or full description), feed the resulting property URLs into the Zillow Property Lookup actor.
