Hey everyone,
I’ve been trying to scrape some data from Zillow for a project, but I’m kinda stuck. Can anyone explain how to find the json field on Zillow?
I’ve been inspecting the page and all, but I’m not sure where exactly the json data is hiding. Like, is it in the network tab or somewhere else?
Also, if anyone’s used their API, is it easier to just go that route instead of scraping? Just tryna figure out the best way to get the data without getting blocked lol.
Thanks in advance! Any tips or tricks would be super helpful.
P.S. If you’ve got a step-by-step on how to find the json field on Zillow, that’d be awesome. Cheers!
Hey! So, I’ve been in the same boat trying to figure out how to find the json field on zillow. What worked for me was checking the network tab in Chrome DevTools.
Just filter by "XHR" or "Fetch" and look for responses that have "json" in the URL or response type. Sometimes it’s nested in the HTML as a script tag too, so don’t forget to check the page source.
If you’re still stuck, maybe try using a tool like Postman to inspect the API calls directly. Good luck!
Yo, scraping Zillow can be a pain lol. I’d recommend using their API if you can. It’s way cleaner and less likely to get you blocked.
But if you’re set on scraping, the json data is usually in the network tab under XHR requests. Look for something like "search" or "listings" in the request names.
Also, check out BeautifulSoup or Scrapy if you’re into Python. They make scraping way easier. Hope that helps!
Hey there! I’ve been scraping Zillow for a while now, and finding the json field on zillow can be tricky.
What I do is open DevTools, go to the network tab, and filter by "json." Then, reload the page and look for requests that return json data. Sometimes it’s labeled as "graphql" or something similar.
If you’re still having trouble, try using a proxy service to avoid getting blocked. Good luck with your project!
Honestly, scraping Zillow is a headache. I’d say go with their API if you can. It’s way more reliable and you won’t have to deal with their anti-scraping measures.
But if you’re determined to scrape, the json data is usually in the network tab under XHR requests. Look for something like "search" or "listings" in the request names.
Also, check out tools like Octoparse or ParseHub. They’re great for scraping without coding. Cheers!
Hey! I’ve been trying to figure out how to find the json field on zillow too. What worked for me was using the "Inspect" tool and searching for "json" in the page source.
Sometimes it’s hidden in a script tag, so you’ll need to parse the HTML to extract it. If you’re using Python, check out the `json` and `re` modules. They’re super helpful for this kind of thing.
Also, make sure to use headers and proxies to avoid getting blocked. Good luck!
Thanks so much for all the tips, everyone! I tried checking the network tab like a few of you suggested, and I think I found the json data under an XHR request. It was labeled as "graphql," which I totally missed before.
I’m still a bit confused about how to parse it properly, though. Do you guys have any tips on how to extract the data once I’ve found it? Also, I’m thinking about giving their API a shot since it seems less risky. Has anyone here used it before? Would love to hear your experiences!
Thanks again for all the help—this community is awesome!
Yo, I feel your pain. Scraping Zillow is no joke. The json data is usually in the network tab under XHR requests. Just filter by "json" and look for something like "search" or "listings."
If you’re still stuck, try using a tool like Puppeteer. It’s great for scraping dynamic content.
Also, don’t forget to rotate your IPs and use headers to avoid getting blocked. Good luck with your project!
