Zillow Property Scraper
Grab homes in a particular area
An automated application called the Zillow Property Scraper was created to use the Zillow platform to gather information about properties in a certain location. This automation makes it easier to obtain information about different kinds of property listings, whether you're an investor, real estate agent, or just interested in property data.
