Zoopla UK Property Listings Scraper

Zoopla UK Property Listings Scraper

Scrape UK property listings from Zoopla by location, postcode, or direct URL, with full filters for price, bedrooms, and property type. Every listing returns its asking price, address, description, floor plans, and agent details. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Zoopla's website is built for browsing one page at a time, which makes collecting property data for market analysis slow and manual. This actor reads the public search results and listing pages directly, applies your price, bedroom, and property type filters as it goes, and returns every match in a consistent flat schema. It works for both sales and lettings, across any UK location or postcode.

Who uses it	What they scrape Zoopla for
Estate agents	Monitor competitor pricing and stock levels in their local area.
Property investors	Identify below-market-value opportunities by comparing asking prices across a postcode.
Data analysts	Build UK housing market datasets for price trend modelling and reports.
Lettings managers	Track rental yields and furnishing trends in specific city districts.

What it does

This Actor collects Zoopla property listings for sale or to rent by location, postcode, or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row with price, address, description, and agent details.

• 🏠 For sale and to rent: switch between sales listings and lettings with one dropdown.
• 📍 Location and postcode search: target a city, area, or full UK postcode like SW1A 1AA.
• 🔗 Direct URL mode: paste a Zoopla search or listing URL and scrape exactly that page, ignoring all filters.
• 💰 Price range filter: set minimum and maximum price in GBP to narrow results to your budget band.
• 🛏️ Bedroom count filter: specify a minimum and maximum number of bedrooms.
• 🏢 Property type filter: restrict results to detached, semi-detached, terraced, flats, bungalows, land, or park homes.
• 📅 Added since filter: only return listings published in the last 24 hours, 3 days, week, fortnight, or month.
• 🔑 Keyword search: filter by words found in the property description, like 'garden', 'garage', or 'period'.
• 🛋️ Furnishing filter for rentals: choose furnished, unfurnished, or part-furnished when scraping lettings.
• 📏 Radius control: set a search radius in miles from your chosen location, from a quarter mile up to 40 miles.

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

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your location is spelled correctly and that your filters are not too restrictive. Try broadening the price range, removing the keywords filter, or increasing the radius to see if listings exist for that combination.

The actor returns fewer results than I see on the Zoopla website.

Confirm your Max Items setting is high enough. Also check that your filters match what you entered on the website. Zoopla sometimes shows slightly different results between visits.

I am getting blocked or seeing captchas.

Add a proxy configuration in the optional Proxy Configuration field. Residential proxies work best if you are running many requests in a short period.

The Start URL is not working.

Make sure the URL is a full Zoopla search results page or listing page URL, starting with https://www.zoopla.co.uk. When a Start URL is set, all filter fields are ignored.

The furnishing filter is not applying.

The furnishing filter only works when Listing Type is set to 'To Rent'. For sales listings, this filter is ignored even if a value is selected.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Can I scrape both for-sale and to-rent listings with this actor?	Yes. Use the Listing Type dropdown to choose 'For Sale' or 'To Rent'. The actor uses the same filters for both, and the furnishing filter activates for rentals.
How do I scrape a specific Zoopla search result page?	Paste the full Zoopla URL into the Start URL field. When a Start URL is provided, all other filters are ignored and the actor scrapes exactly that page.
What locations can I search?	You can search by city name, area name, or full UK postcode. The radius filter lets you expand or narrow the search around that point.
Does this actor return sold price history?	This actor returns active listing data from Zoopla's search results and listing pages. Sold price history is not included in the current output.
Can I filter by property type?	Yes. The Property Type dropdown lets you choose from detached, semi-detached, terraced, flat, bungalow, land, and park home, or leave it on 'Any'.
How many listings can I scrape in one run?	Free accounts are limited to 10 items as a preview. Paid accounts can set a Max Items value up to 1,000,000 per run.
Do I need a proxy to scrape Zoopla?	A proxy is not required for normal use. The Proxy Configuration field is available if you experience blocking, but most runs work without it.
What format does the data export in?	You can export your dataset in CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform after the run completes.
Can I search for keywords inside property descriptions?	Yes. The Keywords field filters listings to only those whose descriptions contain your search terms, such as 'garage' or 'period features'.
Does the actor handle Zoopla's pagination automatically?	Yes. It follows the pagination links on search results pages and stops when it reaches your Max Items limit or there are no more pages.
