They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Zoopla Scraper - UK Property Listings, Prices & Agent Contacts > **Disclaimer:** This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Zoopla Limited or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "Zoopla" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from. Extract **UK property listings from Zoopla** at scale - **price, address, bedrooms, bathrooms, floor area, coordinates, photos, and the listing agent's name and phone number** - for sale, to rent or new homes, anywhere in the UK. Switch on full detail and every property also brings back its own listing page: description, key features, **EPC rating, tenure, council tax band, service charge, ground rent, floor plan, price history, Zoopla's own estimate, nearest stations and the exact postcode**. No API key and no login. Give it a location, and results stream into a dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel. ### Why this Zoopla scraper? Zoopla sits behind Cloudflare, and its CSS class names are rebuilt on every deploy (`price_priceText__3ffbf`), so tools that scrape the rendered HTML break quietly. This Actor opens Zoopla in a real browser over UK residential IPs and reads the **structured data payload behind the page** instead of its class names, so a Zoopla redesign does not silently empty your dataset. Only that payload is fetched - images, fonts, stylesheets and third-party scripts are blocked at the wire, which is what keeps the per-property price low. | Data | Typical scrapers | This Actor | |---|---|---| | Price, address, beds, baths, property type | ✅ | ✅ | | Floor area, living rooms, listing summary | partial | ✅ | | Latitude / longitude | partial | ✅ | | **Listing agent name + phone number** | ❌ | ✅ | | Agent logo, profile URL, branch ID | ❌ | ✅ | | Price-reduction flag, with the date and the % cut | ❌ | ✅ | | Full photo gallery + floor-plan and video counts | partial | ✅ | | **EPC rating and certificate image** | ❌ opt-in add-on | ✅ opt-in | | **Tenure, council tax band, service charge, ground rent** | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | **Price history with dates + Zoopla estimate** | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | **Exact postcode, street, UPRN, nearest stations** | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | Choose your own columns (90 available) | ❌ | ✅ | | Monitor mode - only new listings | ❌ | ✅ | | Pricing | base + add-ons | flat per-property fee | ### What you get **From every search result (the default):** | Field | Notes | |---|---| | `listingId`, `url`, `title`, `section` | `for-sale`, `to-rent` or `new-homes` | | `price`, `priceLabel`, `pricePerWeek` | number and as-shown text; weekly rent on lettings | | `isPriceReduced`, `reducedDate`, `reducedPercent` | the reduction, already worked out for you | | `propertyType`, `numBedrooms`, `numBathrooms`, `numLivingRooms` | | | `sizeSqFt`, `summary` | floor area where the agent published one | | `address`, `latitude`, `longitude` | | | **`agentName`, `agentPhone`** | the branch marketing the property, and its number | | `agentLogo`, `agentProfileUrl`, `branchId` | | | `listedOn`, `availableFrom`, `status`, `isUnderOffer` | | | `tags`, `image`, `images`, `imageCount`, `floorPlanCount`, `videoCount` | full gallery, not just the hero shot | **With *Open each property page for full detail* on, each property adds:** the complete description and key features, `epcRating` and the certificate image, `tenure`, `councilTaxBand`, `serviceCharge`, `groundRent`, `leaseRemaining`, Zoopla's material-information block, the floor-plan image, `priceHistory` with dates, `estimatedValue`, `pricePerSqFt`, `priceQualifier` ("Guide price", "Offers in region of"), `postcode`, `street`, `outcode`, `incode`, post town, county, region, `UPRN`, `nearestStations` with distances in miles, chain-free / shared-ownership / retirement flags, new-build or pre-owned, the agent's brand and branch, and captioned photos. ### Use cases - **Investment and market analysis** - pull every flat in a borough with price, floor area, tenure and price per square foot, and compare yields street by street. - **Price-reduction alerts** - filter to price-reduced stock and put the run on a schedule to see what is softening while it is still on the market. - **Estate-agent lead lists** - every listing carries the marketing branch and its phone number, so a search doubles as a prospect list for proptech, photography, EPC and conveyancing services. - **Proptech and valuation datasets** - coordinates, UPRN, exact postcode, EPC, tenure, council tax band and price history are the columns AVM and comparables tooling actually needs. - **New-listing monitoring** - monitor mode remembers what it has already returned, so a daily run emits only what is new. - **Rental market tracking** - switch section to *to rent* for weekly and monthly rents, availability dates and furnishing detail. ### How to use 1. [Sign up for Apify](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) - the free plan is enough to try this Actor. 2. Open the **Zoopla Scraper**, type one or more **locations** (`london`, `manchester`, `bristol`, `wandsworth`), choose a **section** and click **Start**. 3. Watch properties stream into the dataset table. 4. **Export** as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS - or pull results programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). Zoopla files some towns under their county. If a plain slug returns nothing, use the two-part form - `west-yorkshire/leeds`. If a place has no Zoopla search page at all, the run says so plainly instead of failing. ### Input ```json { "locations": ["london", "west-yorkshire/leeds"], "section": "for-sale", "propertyType": "flats", "includeDetails": true, "maxPagesPerLocation": 3, "minPrice": 300000, "maxPrice": 900000, "minBeds": 2, "onlyPriceReduced": false, "monitorMode": false } ``` - **locations** - UK places as Zoopla writes them. Use `county/town` where a town sits under a county. - **section** - *for sale*, *to rent* or *new homes*. - **propertyType** - any, houses, flats, bungalows, farms and land, cottages, retirement, shared ownership, student accommodation. - **includeDetails** *(default false)* - open each property's own page for the full record (EPC, tenure, price history, exact postcode, stations…). Charged as the detail event instead of the standard one, never on top of it. - **maxPagesPerLocation** *(default 3)* / **maxResults** - how much to fetch. - **minPrice / maxPrice / minBeds / maxBeds / minBaths / minSizeSqFt** - filters. - **onlyPriceReduced / onlyWithFloorPlan / excludeUnderOffer** - more filters. Properties removed by any filter are **never charged**. - **startUrls / urlsFromFile** - paste Zoopla search URLs, link a `.txt` or `.csv` file, a Google Sheet or a Drive file, or use the `{"requestsFromUrl": …}` shape. - **outputFields** - pick exactly the columns you want from all 90. - **monitorMode / monitorStoreName** - return only properties that are new since the last run. ### Output One row per property. Empty fields are omitted, so exports never carry blank filler columns: ```json { "listingId": "72663952", "url": "https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/72663952/", "section": "for-sale", "title": "2 bed flat for sale", "propertyType": "flat", "address": "Scarsdale Villas, London W8", "postcode": "W8 6PP", "price": 875000, "priceLabel": "£875,000", "priceQualifier": "Guide price", "pricePerSqFt": 1354, "numBedrooms": 2, "numBathrooms": 1, "sizeSqFt": 646, "latitude": 51.497521, "longitude": -0.1947, "tenure": "Share of freehold", "councilTaxBand": "G", "serviceCharge": "£1,600 per year", "epcRating": "D", "estimatedValue": 1305537, "agentName": "Savills - Kensington", "agentPhone": "020 8022 3223", "nearestStations": [{ "name": "High Street Kensington", "miles": 0.3 }] } ``` ### Good to know - **Search by location, not by keyword.** Zoopla's `robots.txt` disallows any URL carrying `q=`, so there is no free-text "cottage with a paddock" box. Search by location, section and property type instead. - **No radius search and no sold prices.** `radius=` and `include_sold=` are disallowed by the same file, as are the `/property/`, `/api/` and `/search/` trees. Hand the Actor such a URL and it skips it, names the rule that forbids it, and charges nothing. - **New-build listings carry no exact address.** Zoopla's own new-homes pages publish no postcode or street, so those fields are null for new builds while every other field is filled. - **Floor area, reception rooms, EPC and council tax are supplied by the agent** and are genuinely absent on some listings. A null means Zoopla published nothing there - the Actor never invents a value. - **A run never fails on a transient block.** It ends *Succeeded* with whatever it collected plus a status message explaining what happened, and stops before its own time limit rather than timing out. ### How much does it cost to scrape Zoopla? This Actor uses Apify's **pay-per-event** pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are: - **Property** - One Zoopla property from a results page - price, address, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, floor area, coordinates, listing agent with phone number, photo gallery, price-reduction and under-offer flags. Properties dropped by your price, bedroom, bathroom, size, price-reduced, floor-plan or under-offer filters are never charged. - **Property with full detail** - One Zoopla property including its own listing page - full description, key features, EPC rating and certificate, tenure, council tax band, service charge and ground rent, floor plan, price history, Zoopla estimate, nearest stations with distances, exact postcode and street, and the agent's brand and branch. Charged instead of the standard Property event, never on top of it. The current price of each event is shown on the **Pricing** tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches. ### Automate & schedule Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack: - **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST. - **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** - official SDKs. - **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current. - **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes. ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/zoopla-scraper').call({ // your input - see the Input section above }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`); ``` ### Integrate with any app Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required: - **[Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make)** - multi-step automation scenarios. - **[Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier)** - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet. - **[Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack)** - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new. - **[Google Drive / Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive)** - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet. - **[Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte)** - pipe results into your data warehouse. - **[GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github)** - trigger runs from commits or releases. ### Use with AI assistants (MCP) The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT or any agent framework through the **[Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp)** - describe the data you need and let the assistant run this Actor for you. ### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire) This actor is **agent-ready** — AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards: - **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — no account, no API key. - **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows. Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes. ### More scrapers from scrapesage Related Actors in the same category: - **[Real Estate Scraper for Redfin](https://apify.com/scrapesage/redfin-scraper)** - Listings, Sold Comps & Leads - **[BizBuySell Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/bizbuysell-scraper)** - Businesses For Sale & Broker Leads - **[VivaReal & ZAP Imóveis Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/vivareal-zap-imoveis-scraper)** - Brazil Real Estate - **[PropertyGuru Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/propertyguru-scraper)** - Singapore Property & Agent Leads - **[Airbnb Scraper & Market Monitor](https://apify.com/scrapesage/airbnb-scraper)** ### Tips - **Go narrow for volume.** A borough or town slug returns a far larger share of its own market than a whole-city slug. Pass several narrow locations rather than one broad one. - **Two-pass workflow.** Run without detail to survey a market cheaply, then re-run with `includeDetails` on the shortlist you care about. - **Watch reductions.** Combine `onlyPriceReduced` with a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) and monitor mode for a daily feed of what has just been cut. - **Trim your columns.** Set `outputFields` to the handful you need and the CSV lands ready for a spreadsheet instead of 90 columns wide. - **Agent lead lists.** `agentPhone`, `agentName` and `branchId` are on every row, so deduplicate by `branchId` to turn any search into a branch-level prospect list. ### FAQ **How is this Actor billed?** Pay-per-event: you pay only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The per-event price is shown on the Pricing tab. **Can I schedule it and get results automatically?** Yes - create a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) and add a [webhook](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) or an integration (Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier) to push each run's dataset wherever you need it. **Which export formats are available?** Every run's dataset can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, HTML or RSS from the Apify Console or the API. **Can I run it from code or an AI agent?** Yes - through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) and client libraries, or from Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants via the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). **Is it legal to scrape Zoopla?** This Actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with applicable laws (including data-protection law where personal data is involved) and the source's terms. See **Data & lawful use** and the **Disclaimer** below. **Is this an official Zoopla tool?** No. It is an independent, third-party Actor with no affiliation to, endorsement by or sponsorship from Zoopla Limited. See the **Disclaimer** below. ### Data & lawful use This Actor reads public listings and the seller information shown on them. Sellers on Zoopla include private individuals, so seller names, usernames and any contact details are personal data. If you are in the EU or UK you are the data controller for what you do with them: have a lawful basis, use the data for market research, price monitoring or lawful sourcing, honour deletion requests, and do not send private sellers unsolicited marketing.

Feature requests are welcome - this Actor is actively maintained. # Actor input Schema ## `locations` (type: `array`): UK places to search on Zoopla - for example London, Manchester, Bristol, or an area like Wandsworth. Zoopla sometimes files a town under its county, in which case use the two-part form (west-yorkshire/leeds). If a location has no Zoopla search page the run says so instead of failing. ## `section` (type: `string`): Which part of Zoopla to search. ## `propertyType` (type: `string`): Narrow the search to one property type. Zoopla's robots.txt forbids a few section/type combinations (all rental cottages, new-build cottages and new-build shared ownership); those are skipped with an explanation rather than requested. ## `sort` (type: `string`): How Zoopla should order the results. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Off, every property comes from the results page: price, address, beds, baths, size, coordinates, agent name and phone, and the photo gallery. On, the actor also opens each property's own page and adds the full description, key features, EPC rating, tenure, council tax band, service charge, ground rent, floor plan, price history, nearest stations with distances and the exact postcode. It is much slower and is charged as a separate, dearer event. ## `maxPagesPerLocation` (type: `integer`): Zoopla returns about 28 properties per page. Raise this to go deeper into each location. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many properties in total. 0 means no limit. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Lowest price to include, in pounds. Sent to Zoopla as a search filter and re-checked on every record. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Highest price to include, in pounds. For rentals this is the monthly rent. ## `minBeds` (type: `integer`): Only keep properties with at least this many bedrooms. ## `maxBeds` (type: `integer`): Only keep properties with no more than this many bedrooms. ## `minBaths` (type: `integer`): Only keep properties with at least this many bathrooms. Applied to the data, not to Zoopla's own filters. ## `minSizeSqFt` (type: `integer`): Only keep properties with at least this floor area. Not every agent publishes a size, and those properties are excluded when this is set. ## `onlyPriceReduced` (type: `boolean`): Keep only properties Zoopla marks as reduced. ## `onlyWithFloorPlan` (type: `boolean`): Keep only properties that have at least one floor plan. ## `excludeUnderOffer` (type: `boolean`): Drop properties already under offer. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Zoopla search URLs to scrape directly, for example https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/property/london/. Accepts a plain URL, a {"url": …} object, or a {"requestsFromUrl": …} link to a text file. URLs on paths Zoopla's robots.txt disallows are skipped and named in the run message. ## `urlsFromFile` (type: `string`): Paste Zoopla URLs one per line, or give one link to a .txt/.csv file, a Google Sheet, a Google Drive file or an Apify key-value-store record. Every URL found is added to Start URLs. ## `outputFields` (type: `array`): Pick the fields each row should carry. Leave empty for all of them. Detail-only fields are filled in only when "Open each property page for full detail" is on. ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Remember the listings already returned and emit only properties that are new since the last run. Ideal on a schedule for a new-listing alert. ## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`): Named key-value store holding the monitor's memory. Use different names to track different searches independently. ## Actor input object example ```json { "locations": [ "london" ], "section": "for-sale", "propertyType": "property", "sort": "", "includeDetails": false, "maxPagesPerLocation": 3, "maxResults": 0, "onlyPriceReduced": false, "onlyWithFloorPlan": false, "excludeUnderOffer": false, "monitorMode": false, "monitorStoreName": "zoopla-monitor" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Every property scraped in this run. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
