## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Zillow Scraper 🏠 — Scrape Zillow.com Listings, Prices, Zestimates & Agents

**Zillow Scraper** — Search Zillow real-estate listings by location and filters, or look up full property detail by ZPID, via Zillow's private mobile API. Returns the maximum field set: all photos (full-res), price, tax assessment, facts & features, agent contact, geo and IDs. It reads Zillow's own API directly, so it's **fast, reliable and complete** — no flaky HTML parsing, no headless browser. Export to **JSON, CSV, Excel, or an API**.

> Search any US city, ZIP, neighborhood or address — for-sale, for-rent and sold homes — or look up exact ZPIDs.

***

***

### 🚀 How to scrape Zillow.com (3 steps)

1. **Set your input** — provide `q` or `zpids` (see the table below; defaults work out of the box).
2. **Pick options** — filters, a `proxyConfiguration`, and a `maxItems` cap.
3. **Run & export** — click **Start**, then download the dataset as JSON/CSV/Excel or fetch it via the API.

### ⚙️ Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `q` | string | `Austin, TX` | City, ZIP code, neighborhood, or street address to search — e.g. "Austin, TX", "90210", "Downtown, Austin, TX". This is the main search input; it is resolved to a map area automatically. |
| `zpids` | array of string | `[]` | Look up full detail for these Zillow property IDs. If set, the location/search inputs are ignored. |
| `north` | string | – | Advanced: raw bounding-box north latitude (e.g. 30.35). Optional power-user override — supply all four of north/south/east/west to search an exact map box instead of a Location. |
| `south` | string | – | Advanced: raw bounding-box south latitude (e.g. 30.20). Optional power-user override; used only when all four of north/south/east/west are given. |
| `east` | string | – | Advanced: raw bounding-box east longitude (e.g. -97.70). Optional power-user override; used only when all four of north/south/east/west are given. |
| `west` | string | – | Advanced: raw bounding-box west longitude (e.g. -97.85). Optional power-user override; used only when all four of north/south/east/west are given. |
| `priceMin` | integer | – | Minimum price (USD) |
| `priceMax` | integer | – | Maximum price (USD) |
| `bedsMin` | integer | – | Minimum bedrooms |
| `bathsMin` | integer | – | Minimum bathrooms |
| `includeDetail` | boolean | `false` | Enrich each search result with facts & features + agent contact from the GraphQL HDP endpoint (slower, one extra request per property). |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | 0 = all matches |
| `listingType` | enum | – | What kind of listings to search for — one of `fsba,fsbo,newConstruction,comingSoon,auction`, `forRent`, `recentlySold`, `foreclosure,preforeclosure,foreclosed` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy | Route requests through a proxy. Residential (US) is the default and recommended — Zillow's PerimeterX blocks datacenter IPs. |

#### Example input

```jsonc
{
  "q": "Austin, TX",

| --- | --- |
| **Listing row — basic data** | **$1.00 per 1,000 rows** |
| **Listing details — photos, price/tax history, facts** | **$0.50 per 1,000 rows** |

***

### 🔌 Use the Zillow Scraper via API

Run it programmatically with the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2):

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zillow-api-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "q": "Austin, TX",
  "zpids": [],
  "includeDetail": false,
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}'
```

Or with the Apify CLI: `apify call zillow-api-scraper -i input.json -o`.

***

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need an account or API key for Zillow?**

No. The actor talks to Zillow's public/mobile API for you — you only need an Apify account.

**Do I need a proxy?**

A proxy is recommended for reliable runs; set `proxyConfiguration` (Residential is safest for geo-restricted or bot-protected sites).

**What export formats are supported?**

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, JSONL, RSS, or live via the Apify API and dataset endpoints.

**Is scraping this legal?**

You are responsible for how you use the data. Scrape only public real-estate listing data and comply with Zillow.com's Terms and applicable law (e.g. GDPR/CCPA for personal data).

***

### 🛠️ How it works

The actor impersonates Zillow's official app/site and calls its private API the same way the app does, then normalises each response into the flat record above. No browser, no HTML scraping — just clean, structured data.

***

### 📌 Good to know

- Scrape only public real-estate listing data and respect Zillow.com's Terms of Service and robots policy.
- For personal data, comply with GDPR/CCPA and applicable law — you are the data controller.
- Fields can be `null` when Zillow doesn't expose them for a given record.
