Zillow ZPID lookup by address
Every home on Zillow has a ZPID, the number in its page address. Type a US address to get the ZPID and the link. Free, no sign-up.
Type an address above to get its ZPID.
One home at a time, no sign-up. The figures are read from the home's public Zillow page; the Zestimate and rent Zestimate are Zillow's estimates, not ours. PropertiesAPI is not affiliated with Zillow.
What a ZPID is
A ZPID is Zillow's own identifier for a property. It is the number in a Zillow listing address, the part before "_zpid", and it stays with the home when the listing changes.
It matters because most property tools and APIs take a ZPID rather than a street address: an address can match more than one home, a ZPID matches exactly one.
Why a lookup is useful
Zillow offers no way to turn an address into a ZPID, so people copy it out of the page address by hand. That breaks down when you have a list of homes.
- Building on an API that takes a ZPID: look the ZPID up first, then call with it.
- Keeping records tidy: a ZPID is a stable key, a typed address is not.
- Checking you have the right home before you store anything about it.
Where the number comes from
The figures come from the home's public Zillow page, read when you look it up. PropertiesAPI does not produce estimates of its own: the Zestimate and rent Zestimate are Zillow's.
Zillow does not show this for every home. When it is missing the result says so instead of guessing.
Questions
How do I find a home's ZPID?+
Type the address in the tool above. It reads the home's public Zillow page and shows the ZPID, the matched address and the link, so you can check it is the right home.
What is a ZPID?+
A ZPID is Zillow's identifier for one property: the number in the Zillow page address before "_zpid". One home, one ZPID.
Can I look up many addresses at once?+
Not in this free tool, which does one at a time. The API takes a batch of addresses or ZPIDs in a single request.
Does the ZPID change?+
It belongs to the property, not the listing, so it normally stays the same when a home is relisted. Treat it as stable but verify the address it returns.
