Overview

This node interacts with the Outscraper API to perform a search operation specifically for Zillow data. It allows users to search Zillow listings with various parameters such as location query, main filter (for sale, for rent, sold), pagination controls (limit and skip), and additional options like asynchronous requests and webhook callbacks. This node is useful for automating the retrieval of real estate listings and related data from Zillow for analysis, monitoring, or integration into other workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. A real estate agent automates daily retrieval of new properties for sale in a specific city to update their database.
  2. A rental agency collects rental listings from Zillow filtered by location and price range to analyze market trends.
  3. A developer integrates Zillow search results into a property comparison app, using asynchronous requests and webhooks for efficient data processing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query Search links with search parameters (e.g., location or specific Zillow search URL). This is a required string input that defines what to search for on Zillow.
Main Filter The main filter for the search, determining the type of listings to retrieve: For Sale, For Rent, or Sold.
Limit Maximum number of results to return from the search. This is a numeric input with a minimum value of 1.
Skip Number of items to skip for pagination purposes, allowing the user to paginate through results.
Async Request Boolean flag indicating whether to make the request asynchronously.
Webhook URL to which Outscraper will send a POST request once the asynchronous task is finished. Used only if async request is enabled.
Additional Fields Collection of optional additional parameters such as specific fields to return (comma-separated) and whether to execute the request as a UI task.
Request Options Node-level settings for request behavior including batching (splitting input into batches with interval), ignoring SSL issues, proxy configuration, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • results - Array of search results returned from the Zillow search operation.
  • taskId - Identifier of the asynchronous task if the request was made asynchronously.
  • status - Status of the search request or asynchronous task.

Dependencies

  • Outscraper API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions to access Zillow data via Outscraper.
  • If using asynchronous requests, verify that the webhook URL is correctly set and accessible to receive POST callbacks.
  • Check network settings if using a proxy or if SSL issues occur; consider enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues' if necessary but be aware of security risks.
  • Validate that the 'query' parameter is correctly formatted as a location or valid Zillow search URL to avoid empty or invalid results.
  • If the limit or skip parameters are set incorrectly, pagination may not work as expected; ensure they are numeric and within valid ranges.
