Zillow Listings Scraper

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.

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.

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.
