Features

Location and filter coverage. Search by city, state, ZIP or neighborhood with rent, beds and type filters. Availability dates. Each listing carries availableFrom when Zillow publishes a move-in date. Rent Zestimate. Compare asking rent against Zillow's own rent estimate on every record. Full property fields. Beds, baths, sqft, property type, coordinates, and photo URL. HTTP-only and lean. Runs on 512 MB with residential proxies for reliable coverage.

How it works

Zillow's official APIs are deprecated and partner-gated, and none give you the full public list of for-rent listings with monthly rent and availability. This actor queries Zillow's own search backend directly with a for-rent filter, resolving any location string to a region automatically.

You control the location, the filters, and the volume. The actor pages through results, extracts each listing into a flat JSON record, and pushes to the dataset. Field availability depends on what Zillow publishes for each rental.
