Zillow data in Zapier

How Zapier fits

Pick a trigger that carries an address or a link

For example a new form submission, a new CRM deal with a property address, or a new row in a sheet of Zillow links.

Trigger: New row in a spreadsheet
  Property address   2640 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94115
  Zillow link        (optional)

Add a Webhooks by Zapier GET action

Choose Webhooks by Zapier, event GET, and fill the fields as below. Use address when the trigger has an address, or url when it has a Zillow link. Send only one of them.

URL:            https://api.propertiesapi.com/v1/zillow/property
Query String Params:
  address       <map the trigger's address field>
Headers:
  x-api-key     <your key>
Unflatten:      yes

Test the step and map the fields

The test runs a real lookup. The response fields arrive under data and meta; map the ones you need into the next step.

Data Address           2640 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94115
Data Home Status       FOR_SALE
Data Price             (list price, or empty when not shown)
Data Zestimate         (empty when Zillow shows none)
Data Rent Zestimate
Data Detail Url        the Zillow page for the home
Meta Cached            true when it came from the cache
Meta Credits           1 for a live lookup, 0 for a cache hit

Handle a lookup that fails

A failed lookup stops the Zap with the API's error message. Add a Filter or Paths step if some triggers won't have a usable address, and send address_ambiguous cases to a person.

{ "error": { "code": "not_found", "message": "No Zillow property matches this input" } }
{ "error": { "code": "address_ambiguous", "message": "...", "details": { "candidate": { "detailUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/..." } } } }
{ "error": { "code": "missing_param", "message": "..." } }

Zapier gotchas

• Send exactly one of url, zpid or address. A Zap that maps both an address and a link answers with bad_param.
• Map the full address including city and state or ZIP. A street line alone fails the address check before any lookup, which is free but returns no data.
• Use the cached flag in later steps if you need to know whether the answer was fresh or from earlier in the day.
• Zapier's Code step can make the same request with fetch if you need to batch several homes from one trigger.
