## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability apify-4kne39v7m-merit-systems-vercel-app-181b5ea4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape Zillow for all homes for sale in Austin, TX under $500,000 with at least 3 bedrooms — pull the listing prices, addresses, and square footage for up to 50 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract real estate listing data from Zillow at scale — especially for market research, price analysis, investment screening, or building property databases — and you want a managed, pay-per-use scraping solution without managing your own browser infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed Zillow search URL returns actor error
- Zillow rate-limiting or anti-bot detection causes partial or empty results
- Actor run timeout if too many listings requested
- Invalid API credentials or payment failure returns 402/401 error
- Apify platform downtime causes 503 response

## How this service works

Start the Zillow Search Scraper Apify actor (maxcopell/zillow-scraper).

## Output

Returns an Apify actor run object with a run ID and dataset reference; the scraped Zillow property listings (prices, addresses, beds/baths, sq ft, listing URLs) can be retrieved from the resulting Apify dataset once the run completes.
