## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### Zillow Listings Scraper

**Scrape Zillow property listings from any search page or detail URL, up to a million per run.** Every listing returns price, beds, baths, square footage, address, and listing type. No API key or daily call limits. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Zillow's official API has daily call limits and requires registration. This scraper reads the public listing feeds directly, pulling property data from search results or specific detail pages. You control the target with a single search URL or a list of property detail URLs, and residential proxies keep the run stable.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Zillow for |
|---|---|
| Real estate investors | Monitor new for-sale listings in a target market to find undervalued properties. |
| Market analysts | Track asking prices and inventory volume across neighborhoods over time. |
| Property managers | Pull rental comps from a Zillow search to set competitive lease rates. |
| Data journalists | Collect listing data for a story on housing affordability in a metro area. |

### What it does

This Actor collects Zillow real estate listings from a search page or a list of property detail URLs and returns each one as a flat row.

- 🏠 **Search page scraping:** feed the Actor a Zillow search URL and it paginates through results, collecting every listing up to your maxItems limit.
- 📋 **Detail URL scraping:** provide a list of specific property detail page URLs and the Actor returns the full data for each one, ignoring maxItems.
- 🌐 **Residential proxy support:** the scraper uses Apify residential proxies by default to avoid blocks and keep your runs stable on Zillow.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with Zillow data

**📈 Track market inventory.**

A real estate analyst runs the scraper weekly on a city search URL to count active listings and track median asking prices over time.

**🏡 Build a property database.**

An investor feeds a list of detail URLs from a lead list and collects beds, baths, square footage, and price for every property in one dataset.

**🔔 Monitor new listings.**

A homebuyer sets up a scheduled run on a filtered Zillow search URL to get an alert when a new property matching their criteria appears.

**📊 Compare rental comps.**

A property manager scrapes rental listings in a ZIP code to see what similar units are asking and adjust their own lease pricing.

### Why choose this scraper

|  | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API limits** | Scrape as many listings as you need without daily call caps or app registration. |
| **Flexible targeting** | Use a search URL for broad market scans or detail URLs for specific properties. |
| **Stable runs** | Residential proxies are pre-configured to reduce blocks and CAPTCHAs. |

### How it compares

This actor combines search page scraping and detail URL scraping in one tool, while the competitors below each focus on one mode or input type.

| Feature | ParseForge | Zillow Detail Scraper | Zillow Search Scraper | Zillow ZIP Code Search Scraper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scrapes search results pages | Yes | Not listed | Yes | Yes |
| Scrapes property detail URLs | Yes | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |
| Residential proxy pre-configured | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |
| ZIP code input | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Yes |
| Max items up to 1,000,000 | Yes | Not listed | Yes | Not listed |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor from a Zillow search URL or a list of property detail URLs, and set a maxItems limit to control the number of results. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "listingUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/new-york-ny/",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "detailsUrl": [],
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "listingUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/new-york-ny/",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "detailsUrl": [],
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.0024 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $0.24 |
| 1,000 results | $2.40 |
| 10,000 results | $24.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Zillow Listings Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/zillow-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Zillow through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/zillow-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check that your Zillow search URL is valid and returns listings in a browser. If you are using a very restrictive filter combination, try broadening it. Also confirm you have not set both listingUrl and detailsUrl in the same run.

**Why is my run getting blocked or returning CAPTCHAs?**

Make sure you are using residential proxies. The default proxy configuration uses Apify residential proxies with a US location. If you changed it, switch back to the recommended settings.

**Why did my run stop before reaching maxItems?**

The search page may have fewer total listings than your maxItems value. The Actor stops when it runs out of pages to scrape. Try a broader search or a different area.

**Why are some fields empty in my output?**

Zillow listings do not always have every field populated. If a seller did not provide square footage, for example, that field will be empty. This is expected behavior.

**Can I use both listingUrl and detailsUrl at the same time?**

No. These inputs are mutually exclusive. Provide one or the other. If you need both search results and specific detail pages, run the Actor twice with different configurations.

### FAQ

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I scrape both for-sale and for-rent listings? | Yes. The Actor scrapes whatever listings appear in the Zillow search URL you provide. Set your filters on Zillow first, then copy the URL into the listingUrl field. |
| How do I scrape a specific set of properties? | Use the detailsUrl field. Paste a list of Zillow property detail page URLs and the Actor will return the full data for each one. |
| What proxy settings should I use? | The Actor is pre-configured to use Apify residential proxies with a US location. This is the recommended setup for Zillow. You can adjust the proxy configuration if needed. |
| Is there a limit on how many listings I can scrape? | Free users are limited to 100 items per run. Paid users can set maxItems up to 1,000,000. When using detail URLs, maxItems is ignored and all provided URLs are scraped. |
| Can I scrape Zillow without getting blocked? | The Actor uses residential proxies and standard best practices to reduce blocking. No scraper can guarantee zero blocks, but this setup is designed for stable, long-running sessions. |
| What does the output look like? | Each listing is returned as a flat row with fields like price, address, beds, baths, square footage, and listing type. You can export the dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML. |
| Can I run this on a schedule? | Yes. You can set up a scheduled run in Apify to scrape Zillow daily, weekly, or at any custom interval. |
| Do I need a Zillow API key? | No. This scraper reads the public Zillow website directly. You do not need to register an app or get an API key. |
| Can I scrape recently sold listings? | Yes, if your Zillow search URL includes sold listings. Apply the sold filter on Zillow, copy the URL, and paste it into the Actor. |
| What is the difference between listingUrl and detailsUrl? | listingUrl takes a Zillow search page URL and paginates through results. detailsUrl takes a list of specific property detail page URLs and scrapes each one. They are mutually exclusive. |
