Zillow for-sale, rental and sold listings skill for AI agents

Search Zillow by city, state or ZIP for active, rental or recently sold listings, with pricing, Zestimate, agent, school, tax and price history for each property.

What the skill does

It tells your agent when a request fits the Zillow For-Sale, Rent & Sold Listing Extractor Actor, which input to send and which fields come back (address, price, sold price, beds and 54 more). The agent runs it through the Apify API with your token and gets JSON rows.

Install by hand

Save the five files into a folder named zillow-for-sale-rent-and-sold-listing-extractor: ~/.claude/skills/zillow-for-sale-rent-and-sold-listing-extractor/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/zillow-for-sale-rent-and-sold-listing-extractor/ for Codex and most other agents.

The same five files as one download: zillow-for-sale-rent-and-sold-listing-extractor.zip (6.7 KB).

Run it

Ask your agent in plain words, for example "Zillow scraper", and it picks the skill from its description. Or run the script yourself:

export APIFY_TOKEN=your_apify_token
cd zillow-for-sale-rent-and-sold-listing-extractor                             # the skill folder
node scripts/run.mjs                     # the example input
node scripts/run.mjs my-input.json       # your own input

Without an argument the script uses references/example-input.json. It waits for the run and prints the rows as JSON; for long runs SKILL.md shows the async API calls.

## When to use

Use this skill when the user wants:

- Zillow for-sale, rental and sold listings
- Zillow scraper
- real estate comps
- a repeatable export of public Zillow data as CSV or JSON

Do not use it for private, login-protected or paywalled data.

## What it returns

One JSON row per result. Columns from the Actor's dataset schema:

- `address`: Address
- `price`: Price
- `soldPrice`: Sold Price
- `beds`: Beds
- `baths`: Baths
- `sqft`: Sqft
- `propertyType`: Type
- `status`: Status
- `daysOnZillow`: Days
- `url`: URL

All 58 declared fields: `references/output-fields.json`.

## Inputs

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `mode` | string | yes | BUY | Search active for-sale listings, rentals, or recently sold listings. |
| `search` | string | no |  | City, ZIP, neighborhood, county or state to search (for example 'Houston, TX' or '77002'). |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | 50 | Maximum number of records for the whole run across all sources (1-5000). |
| `endPage` | integer | no | 5 | Maximum search result pages per search task (1-24). Zillow returns up to 41 listings per page. |
| `startUrls` | array | no | [] | Property detail URLs, /apartments/ building URLs, or Zillow search page URLs. Search URLs keep their own filters and mode. |
| `zpids` | array | no |  | Zillow property IDs or URLs containing _zpid. Each ZPID is resolved to its canonical detail page. |
| `addresses` | array | no |  | Full street addresses to resolve to Zillow property pages, for example '1306 Castle Ct, Houston, TX 77006'. |
| `priceMin` | integer | no |  | Minimum listing price in US dollars. |
| `priceMax` | integer | no |  | Maximum listing price in US dollars. |
| `bedsMin` | string | no | any | Minimum number of bedrooms. |
| `bathsMin` | string | no | any | Minimum number of bathrooms. |
| `sqftMin` | integer | no |  | Minimum living area in square feet. |
| `sqftMax` | integer | no |  | Maximum living area in square feet. |
| `lotSizeMin` | string | no | any | Minimum lot size in square feet. |

19 more optional fields on the Actor's Input tab.

Example (`references/example-input.json`):

```json
{
  "mode": "BUY",
  "search": "Austin, TX",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "daysOnZillow": "7",
  "sortBy": "newest"
}
```

The input passes the Actor's input schema (checked at every publish). First run: `maxItems` = 25, small enough for the 300-second sync wait; raise it once the rows look right.

## Run it

Set `APIFY_TOKEN`, then call the synchronous endpoint for small and medium runs (it waits up to 300 seconds):

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nimbryxo-studio~zillow-for-sale-rent-and-sold-listing-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @references/example-input.json > output.json
```

Or with Node 18+: `node scripts/run.mjs [input.json]`.

For large runs, start an async run and read its dataset when it finishes:

```bash
RUN=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nimbryxo-studio~zillow-for-sale-rent-and-sold-listing-extractor/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @references/example-input.json)
RUN_ID=$(echo "$RUN" | jq -r '.data.id'); DATASET=$(echo "$RUN" | jq -r '.data.defaultDatasetId')
curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID?waitForFinish=60" -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.status'
curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/$DATASET/items?format=json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" > output.json
```

## Cost and limits

- Apify bills the Actor's usage on your account; the Actor's Pricing tab shows the current price.
- Keep the limit in the input small for a first run.

## Guardrails

- Public data only. Do not pass cookies, sessions or private account data.
- Do not use the output for spam, harassment or unlawful discrimination.
- Check the target site's terms and local law before running at scale.

Questions people ask

Which agents can use this skill?

Any agent that reads Agent Skills folders: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and the other agents the skills CLI installs into. The skill is a SKILL.md file plus a small Node script, so an agent without skill support can still follow the file by hand.

Does the skill cost anything?

The skill is free. Running it starts the Zillow For-Sale, Rent & Sold Listing Extractor Actor on your own Apify account, which bills the run at the Actor's Store price; the Apify Free plan includes $5 of usage a month.

What does npx skills add install?

The whole folder: SKILL.md, scripts/run.mjs and the three reference files, downloaded from this site and checked against the SHA-256 digest in scraperfinder.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json. Add -g to install it for every project.
