Zillow Scraper is a ready-to-run Apify actor from FlowExtract API for real estate. Scrape property listings from [Zillow](https://www.zillow.com) search pages. Extracts structured data for every property on any search result — for sale, for rent, recently sold — across any US city, ZIP code, or custom map region. This page explains what it does, who it's for, and how to get the most out of it — then includes the full technical documentation below.

Use cases

up to 500 results per page in a single request
structured data — no brittle HTML parsing
full pagination — automatically follows all pages until maxResults is reached or the search is exhausted
filter URL — https://www.zillow.com/new-braunfels-tx/?searchQueryState=... (recommended — preserves all filters)

Documentation

Zillow Scraper

Scrape property listings from Zillow search pages. Extracts structured data for every property on any search result — for sale, for rent, recently sold — across any US city, ZIP code, or custom map region.

How it works

This actor calls Zillow's internal search API (the same JSON endpoint the browser uses) rather than parsing HTML. This means:

Up to 500 results per page in a single request
Structured data — no brittle HTML parsing
Full pagination — automatically follows all pages until maxResults is reached or the search is exhausted

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
`startUrls`	array	✅	One or more Zillow search URLs
`maxResults`	integer	❌	Max properties to scrape in total (0 = unlimited)
`proxyConfiguration`	object	❌	Apify proxy settings (strongly recommended)

Getting the right start URL

Go to zillow.com
Search for a location and apply any filters you want (price, beds, home type, etc.)
Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar and paste it as a start URL

Both URL formats work:

Filter URL — https://www.zillow.com/new-braunfels-tx/?searchQueryState=... (recommended — preserves all filters)
Path URL — https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/ (uses Zillow's defaults)

You can provide multiple start URLs in one run (e.g. several cities, or for-sale + for-rent for the same area).

Proxy

Zillow uses PerimeterX bot detection. Without a proxy, requests from datacenter IPs will be blocked almost immediately. Apify Residential proxies are strongly recommended for reliable results.

{
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
}

Pricing

This actor uses Pay-per-result pricing — you are only charged for properties that are successfully scraped and saved to the dataset.

Tier	Price per property
Default	$0.004

You will never be charged more than your configured budget. The budget guard runs before scraping starts and caps maxResults to what your budget can afford.

Resume / fault tolerance

If the actor is interrupted (crash, migration, manual abort), it saves its progress to the Key-Value Store. Re-running or resurrecting the actor will automatically resume from where it left off — already-completed URLs are skipped and in-progress URLs continue from the last saved page.

Limitations

Zillow's API returns a maximum of 500 results per page and up to ~20 pages for most searches (≈ 10,000 results). For larger areas, narrow your search with filters or split into multiple smaller region URLs.
Detail page data (full description, school info, price history) is not fetched — the actor uses the search API only. This keeps it fast and low-cost.
Zillow's bot detection is aggressive. Without residential proxies, you will encounter 403 errors.

Debug logging

Set the APIFY_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to DEBUG to see full request/response details, proxy URLs, and pagination internals. At INFO (the default), only user-facing progress is logged.
