🏡 Zillow Detail Scraper

Turn any Zillow detail URL — or even a plain street address — into clean, structured JSON. This Actor pulls the full property record Zillow's own pages use: price and complete price & tax history, beds/baths, living area and lot size, assigned schools, photo galleries, listing agent & MLS facts, nearby homes & comparable sales, and dozens more fields. It works across homes, apartments, buildings and communities.

⭐ Why Choose Us?

• 🎯 Every page type — homedetails, /apartments/, /b/ buildings and /community/ pages, plus free-form addresses.
• 💸 Cost-efficient by design — starts with a direct connection and only escalates the network (datacenter → residential) when Zillow actually pushes back. No wasted proxy spend.
• 🧱 Deep, faithful data — you get the same rich object that hydrates Zillow's React app, not a thin scrape of the visible HTML.
• 💾 Live results — records are saved one-by-one as they're collected; a stopped run never loses what it already found.
• 📊 Per-section output — every record is tagged with the input it came from, so you can group results in the Output tab.

❓ FAQ

Can I scrape by address instead of URL? Yes — use the addresses field; each one is resolved to its detail page.

What if Zillow blocks a request? The Actor automatically upgrades the network (datacenter → residential, retried up to 3×) and continues. Switches are logged.

Do apartments and buildings work? Yes. Turn on extractBuildingUnits to also get each individual unit as a record.

Will a stopped run lose data? No — records are saved live as they're scraped.

⚖️ Cautions / Legal

• Only publicly available data is collected.
• You are responsible for compliance with Zillow's Terms of Service and applicable laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
• Use reasonable rate limits and scrape responsibly.
