Zillow Scraper

Zillow Scraper: search results and full listing details, from one actor

Paste Zillow URLs and get property rows back. A /homedetails/ link gives you the full record: price, beds, baths, square feet, the address and coordinates, year built, Zestimate and rent Zestimate, photos, price history, tax history and nearby schools. A search-results link gives you the cards off that page. Same actor, same price for both. No login, no API key.

The limit to know before you plan around it: there is no pagination. A search URL is fetched once, and you get up to 50 rows from that one page. Five search URLs and ten listing URLs per run. Scraping a whole metro means feeding it many narrower search URLs, not one broad one.

🔍 What Zillow Scraper does

Two kinds of input, one dataset.

propertyUrls takes canonical /homedetails/ links. Each one is read in full, so those rows carry the history, the nearby schools, the description and the broker attribution when Zillow publishes them.

searchUrls takes result pages copied out of your browser after you have picked a location and any filters on Zillow itself. Those rows are the cards from that page: address, price, beds, baths, living area, Zestimate, status, a photo and the listing URL. They are marked type: "search_listing" so you can tell them apart.

Tracking parameters are stripped and identical URLs collapse, including a listing that appears both in your detail list and on one of your search pages. You pay for it once.

📥 What you give it

{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.zillow.com/austin-tx/"],
  "maxSearchResultsPerUrl": 10,
  "propertyUrls": [
    "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7300-Quicksilver-Cir-Austin-TX-78744/29508680_zpid/"
  ],
  "includeHistory": true,
  "includeSchools": true
}

Start the run with both lists empty and you get one clearly labelled sample row, so a new task has something in its dataset without pulling any real property.

📤 What you get back

A real detail row from a recent run, with most of the 30 photo URLs cut short:

{
  "ok": true,
  "zpid": "29508680",
  "url": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7300-Quicksilver-Cir-Austin-TX-78744/29508680_zpid/",
  "address": "7300 Quicksilver Cir, Austin, TX, 78744",
  "city": "Austin",
  "state": "TX",
  "zipcode": "78744",
  "county": null,
  "latitude": 30.174002,
  "longitude": -97.75795,
  "homeStatus": "OTHER",
  "homeType": "SINGLE_FAMILY",
  "price": 320200,
  "currency": "USD",
  "bedrooms": 2,
  "bathrooms": 2,
  "livingArea": 1030,
  "lotSize": 8712,
  "yearBuilt": 1983,
  "zestimate": 320200,
  "rentZestimate": 1695,
  "daysOnZillow": 3516,
  "description": null,
  "brokerName": null,
  "mlsId": null,
  "photos": ["https://photos.zillowstatic.com/fp/3924195d7f4f98284b710c16ff170b00-p_d.jpg", "..."],
  "priceHistory": [],
  "taxHistory": [],
  "schools": [
    { "name": "Perez Elementary School", "rating": 4, "distance": 0.3, "level": "Primary", "type": "Public" },
    { "name": "Paredes Middle School", "rating": 2, "distance": 3.3, "level": "Middle", "type": "Public" },
    { "name": "Akins High School", "rating": 4, "distance": 3.1, "level": "High", "type": "Public" }
  ],
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-25T00:07:12.598Z"
}

Fields Zillow leaves out come back null or as an empty array. That does not make the row invalid, and those rows are still charged.

🧾 Reading the output

Three kinds of row can land in your dataset.

One bad URL never stops the others, and a diagnostic row never fails the run.

A NO_RESULTS that surprises you is worth one retry. Zillow occasionally declines to serve a page in a way that reads as an empty page rather than a refusal, and a second attempt often gets it.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open Zillow Scraper and click Try for free. 2. On Zillow, pick your location and filters, then copy the address bar into Zillow search-result URLs. 3. Paste any specific listings into Zillow property URLs. 4. Set Maximum search listings per URL, then click Start. 5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the Apify API.

💰 How much does it cost?

$0.80 per 1,000 properties. Flat on every Apify plan, no volume tiers.

Search rows and detail rows cost the same. Photos, price history, tax history and schools are included at that price and do not add anything per property.

You pay per property row delivered. Duplicates across your two lists, the sample row and every diagnostic row are free.

💡 What people use it for

• Building comps for a valuation: a handful of /homedetails/ URLs in one run, with tax and price

history attached.

• Screening a neighbourhood by pasting a filtered search from Zillow and keeping the top 50 cards.
• Tracking what a specific address does over months, keyed on zpid, using price and

priceHistory.

• Feeding a model with beds, baths, living area, lot size, year built and Zestimate in one row.
• Pulling listing photos for a set of properties without saving each one by hand.

🚧 What it does not do

• No pagination. One fetch per search URL, capped at 50 rows. A whole city needs many narrower

searches.

• Five search URLs and ten listing URLs per run. That is the hard ceiling.
• No agent contact details. Broker and agent attribution appear only where Zillow publishes

them on the page.

• No Zestimate history. The current estimate, not the series behind it.
• It returns what Zillow publishes. A field Zillow has no data for comes back empty, toggles or

not.

• No logins, no private listings, nothing behind an account.
• Zestimates are Zillow's numbers, with Zillow's accuracy. Nothing here recalculates them.
• Rentals, sold homes and off-market properties come back with whatever Zillow chooses to show

for that status, which is less than an active for-sale listing.

🧭 Which property scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need a Zillow account or API key? No. Paste a public URL.

Can I scrape a whole city in one run? No. Each search URL gives you one page, up to 50 rows. Narrow the search on Zillow first, by ZIP, price band or home type, and run several.

Do photos, history and schools cost extra? No. Same price per property either way.

Why is priceHistory empty when I switched it on? Because Zillow did not publish it for that property. The toggle keeps the data when it exists, it does not create it.

Can I schedule it? Yes, like any Apify actor. A saved set of search URLs makes a weekly sweep straightforward.

Is scraping Zillow legal? These are public listing pages. They can carry personal data, which GDPR, CCPA and similar laws cover, and Zillow has its own terms, so have a reason for collecting it and keep to a sensible request rate. Apify's write-up on scraping and the law is a good place to start, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the exact URL and the run ID. The errorCode on the diagnostic row usually names the problem on its own.
