Zoocasa Property Listings Scraper

Zoocasa Property Listings Scraper

Scrape Zoocasa property listings from any area URL: thousands per run. Each listing comes with price, address, beds, baths, MLS number, brokerage and coordinates. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Zoocasa's website has no public API, and manual copying of listings is slow and error-prone. This Actor reads the same public search endpoint the site itself calls, so you can collect structured property data for any city, neighbourhood, province or state in Canada and the US. It returns each listing as a flat row, ready for analysis or your own database.

Who uses it	What they scrape Zoocasa for
Real estate investors	Monitor new listings and price changes in target neighborhoods
Market analysts	Build datasets of active listings for pricing and trend analysis
Property managers	Track rental or sale inventory in specific areas
Data journalists	Investigate housing market patterns and affordability

What it does

This Actor collects Zoocasa property listings from a search results URL and returns each one as a flat row with all available details.

• 🔍 Area URL input: paste any Zoocasa area page: city, neighbourhood, province or state: with its filter segments.
• 📊 Structured output: each listing is a flat row with price, address, beds, baths, MLS number, brokerage, and latitude/longitude.
• 🚀 Fast and deep: around 1,000 listings per minute, well past the 27 shown on the first page of the site.
• ⚙️ Max items control: set a limit on the number of listings to scrape per run.

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

  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }

  "maxItems": 2000,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Which URLs work

Copy the URL straight from your browser after searching on Zoocasa. Every one of these shapes is supported:

URL	What you get
https://www.zoocasa.com/toronto-on-real-estate	Every active listing in the city
https://www.zoocasa.com/toronto-on-real-estate/church-yonge-corridor	One neighbourhood
https://www.zoocasa.com/ontario-real-estate	A whole province or state
https://www.zoocasa.com/mount-pleasant-wi-real-estate	US cities work the same way
.../toronto-on-real-estate/for-rent	Rentals instead of sales
.../toronto-on-real-estate/sold	Sold listings, with the sold price
.../toronto-on-real-estate/condos	condos, houses, townhouses, land, commercial, farms
.../toronto-on-real-estate/open-houses	open-houses, with-garage, with-swimming-pool, on-waterfront

Segments combine, and ?sort=-price is honoured. Older /for-sale/toronto-on links still work, they are rewritten to the current format.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

The area in the URL was not recognised. Open the URL in a browser: it has to be a Zoocasa area page such as https://www.zoocasa.com/toronto-on-real-estate. A listing detail page or a search box URL will not work.

Which proxy should I use?

The default Apify datacenter proxy is enough and is the cheapest option. Residential proxies also work if you prefer them, but they are not needed.

I only get a few listings even though there are more.

The maxItems input limits the number of listings. Increase it to scrape more. Also check if the search URL has filters that restrict results.

Some fields are missing in the output.

Not all listings have the same data available. The Actor returns whatever is present on the page. If a field is consistently missing, it may not be exposed on Zoocasa's search results.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What is Zoocasa?	Zoocasa is a Canadian real estate website that lists properties for sale and rent. It aggregates listings from various brokerages and provides search tools for buyers and renters.
Do I need an API key or login?	No. The Actor scrapes public search result pages, so no authentication is required. You only need a valid search URL.
Can I scrape listings from any city?	Yes, any Canadian or US city on Zoocasa, plus neighbourhoods, provinces and states, with the for-rent, sold and property-type filters from the URL.
How many listings can I scrape in one run?	You can set the maximum number of listings with the maxItems input. The default is 100, but you can increase or decrease it as needed.
What data fields are returned for each listing?	Each listing is returned as a flat row with fields such as price, address, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, property type, and more. The exact fields depend on what is available on the page.
