Proxy Requirements

Residential proxies are strongly recommended. Zillow uses PerimeterX anti-bot protection that blocks datacenter IPs. The default configuration uses Apify's residential proxy group.

Pricing

Pay-Per-Event: $2.00 per 1,000 results ($0.002 per result)

Tips

1. Start small — test with maxResults: 10 to verify your filters work before running large scrapes
2. Use URLs — set up complex filters on Zillow's website, copy the URL, and use searchType: url for exact results
3. Lower concurrency — if you're getting blocked, reduce maxConcurrency to 1-2
4. Skip details for speed — set scrapeDetails: false for basic listing data at 10x speed
5. Map bounds for precision — use bounding box coordinates for exact geographic coverage

Technical Notes

• Uses Playwright with stealth configuration to avoid detection
• Extracts data from Zillow's __NEXT_DATA__ embedded state and GraphQL responses
• Deduplicates results by ZPID across pagination
• Automatic retry on rate limiting with exponential backoff
• Resource blocking (analytics, fonts) for faster page loads
