Zillow Search Scraper: how to get Homes for Sale, Rent and Sold as JSON/CSV (API, Python, no code)

Q: How do I use the Zillow Search Scraper from Python?

Install the apify-client package, create a client with your Apify API token, call the Actor v0iddo/zillow-scraper with an input like the one above, and read the rows from the run's dataset. The Python snippet above does exactly that.

Q: How do I limit the number of results?

Set the maxItems input field to the number of results you need; the run stops there, so it also caps the cost of one run. You can also set a maximum cost for a run in the run options on Apify, and the run stops when it is reached.

Scrape Zillow search results for homes for sale, rentals and recently sold properties: price, address, beds, baths, living area, lot size, home type, days on Zillow, coordinates and listing brokerage. This guide shows the output fields, a working input, and Python, JavaScript and cURL code for the Actor v0iddo/zillow-scraper on Apify.

Code: Python, JavaScript and cURL

Get your API token in Apify Console under Settings, then Integrations. The Actor id is v0iddo/zillow-scraper.

Python (apify-client)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {'locations': ['Austin, TX'], 'listingType': 'for_sale', 'maxItems': 20}

run = client.actor("v0iddo/zillow-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript (apify-client)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const input = {
  "locations": [
    "Austin, TX"
  ],
  "listingType": "for_sale",
  "maxItems": 20
};

const run = await client.actor('v0iddo/zillow-scraper').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/v0iddo~zillow-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"locations": ["Austin, TX"], "listingType": "for_sale", "maxItems": 20}'

Price

$1.50 per 1,000 results. You pay per result row. There is no separate charge per run. Higher Apify plans pay less per result, down to $1.05 per 1,000. See the pricing tab for your plan. A new Apify account gets $5 of platform credit every month.

Good to know

Zillow shows at most about 820 listings (20 pages) per search. For a bigger area, run several ZIP codes or neighborhoods instead of one city.
Rental searches mostly return apartment buildings: those rows have a price range, the building name and a list of unit types in units, and no beds or baths of their own.
Sold prices are hidden by Zillow in states that do not disclose them (for example Texas); price is empty there.
lotArea is in square feet. Rows are unique by Zillow property ID across all searches of a run.
