Zillow Scraper by ScrapeBadger — Overview

Scraper API for Zillow

Search for-sale, for-rent, and sold listings, pull maximal property detail with the full resoFacts home-facts block, price / tax / Zestimate history, schools, and listing-agent attribution, look up agent profiles with reviews and past sales, and autocomplete locations across zillow.com — a dedicated Zillow real-estate API. The API handles authentication, anti-bot bypass, and session/proxy routing automatically.

Key Features

Multifamily Buildings

Zillow’s for-rent inventory is mostly apartment communities (home_type: "BUILDING"), which have no single price or zpid. The /v1/zillow/building endpoint returns their floor plans and every available unit with rent, sqft, and move-in date, plus amenities, office hours, pet policy, schools, and walk/transit/bike scores.

Deep Property Detail

~99 top-level fields per property plus a nested home_facts block distilled from Zillow’s resoFacts MLS record — beds, baths, sqft, lot size, systems, features, HOA, parcel, and more.

History & Estimates

Full price history, tax history, and Zestimate value history on the /v1/zillow/property/{zpid} detail endpoint, plus current Zestimate and Rent Zestimate.

Schools & Agents

Nearby schools with ratings, listing-agent attribution, and full agent profiles with reviews, past sales, and licenses.

Map-Bounds Tiling

Beat Zillow’s ~820-result (20-page) cap by re-issuing a search over subdivided north/south/east/west map-bound boxes returned in map_bounds.

Anti-Bot Bypass

Automatic session management, Chrome TLS impersonation, and fingerprint rotation to avoid blocks.

US Proxies

Requests are pinned to US residential IPs — Zillow serves all inventory (including Canadian MLS feeds) from zillow.com behind a US IP.

Zillow caps a single search at 20 pages (~820 results). For dense metros, split the area into smaller north/south/east/west map-bound tiles using the map_bounds box returned on each search.

Coverage

Zillow is a single-domain, single-locale target: every market is served from zillow.com in USD / en-US behind a US residential IP. zillow.ca redirects to zillow.com and Canadian inventory is an MLS data feed surfaced inside zillow.com — there is no separate Canadian portal or currency/locale switcher.

Market	Portal	Country	Currency	Locale
:us: `US`	zillow.com	US	USD	en-US
:canada: `CA`	zillow.com	CA	USD	en-US

Use the /v1/zillow/markets endpoint to get the advertised coverage (with domain, currency, and locale) programmatically. Markets are informational only — there is no market routing parameter.

Anti-Bot Handling

Zillow protects its listings with PerimeterX/HUMAN fingerprinting, IP-reputation scoring, and TLS/HTTP-2 fingerprinting, and renders most data as embedded page JSON (__NEXT_DATA__ search state and gdpClientCache property detail). ScrapeBadger clears these automatically using Chrome TLS impersonation on US-pinned sessions. You never need to manage proxies, sessions, or CAPTCHAs.

A few Zillow datapoints (comparable sales, Walk/Transit/Bike scores, climate risk) are lazy-loaded client-side and are not in the server-rendered JSON, so they are intentionally absent from responses.

Rich Datapoints

Every property carries a deep set of structured fields:

Group	Fields
Pricing	`price`, `zestimate`, `rent_zestimate`, `tax_assessed_value`, `monthly_hoa_fee`, `property_tax_rate`, `last_sold_price`, `price_change`
Size	`bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `living_area`, `lot_size`, `lot_area_value`, `year_built`, plus `home_facts` bath/story/area breakdowns
Location	`street_address`, `city`, `state`, `zipcode`, `county`, `neighborhood`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `time_zone`
Media	`photos[]`, `photo_count`, `virtual_tour_url`, `has_3d_model`, `street_view_image_url`, `static_map_url`
History	`price_history[]`, `tax_history[]`, `zestimate_history[]`, `days_on_zillow`
Facts	`home_facts` (heating, cooling, appliances, flooring, parking, pool, HOA, green, features, parcel — ~125 fields)
Context	`schools[]`, `home_insights[]`, `open_house_schedule[]`, `nearby_cities/neighborhoods/zipcodes`, `agent` attribution, `mortgage_rates`

Search returns each result as a Listing (~50 fields); the property detail endpoint returns a full Property with the nested home_facts, history, schools, and agent blocks.
