Common issues: failed or timed-out runs

• Zillow Detail Scraper timed out: 0.0% of 711,131 runs timed out.
• Zillow Detail Scraper failed: 1.1% of 711,131 runs ended as failed.

Apify’s public run statistics for each actor, last 30 days to 2026-11-02: FAILED and TIMED-OUT runs as a share of all runs. Shown from 50 runs. A failed run can also come from a bad input. Here an input that cannot be read comes back as a free error row with a code, and the other inputs still arrive.

How to switch

In the Apify Store

1. Open arcadium/zillow-properties and sign in to Apify.
2. On the Input tab, switch the editor to JSON and paste the input you used for maxcopell/zillow-detail-scraper, without the fields listed above as not read.
3. Start the run. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options if you want a hard cap.

Over the API

Change the actor ID in the URL from maxcopell~zillow-detail-scraper to arcadium~zillow-properties; the body stays the same apart from the fields this actor does not read.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/arcadium~zillow-properties/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/17-Zelma-Dr-Greenville-SC-29617/11005484_zpid/"}],"propertyStatus":"RECENTLY_SOLD"}'

In n8n

In the Apify node, change the actor to arcadium/zillow-properties and keep the input JSON. With an HTTP Request node:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "name": "Run arcadium/zillow-properties",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
      "typeVersion": 4,
      "position": [
        0,

        "method": "POST",
        "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/arcadium~zillow-properties/run-sync-get-dataset-items",
        "authentication": "genericCredentialType",
        "genericAuthType": "httpHeaderAuth",
        "sendBody": true,
        "specifyBody": "json",
        "jsonBody": "{\"startUrls\":[{\"url\":\"https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/17-Zelma-Dr-Greenville-SC-29617/11005484_zpid/\"}],\"propertyStatus\":\"RECENTLY_SOLD\"}",
        "options": {
          "timeout": 300000
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "connections": {}
}

From an AI assistant (MCP)

Add the actor as a tool on Apify’s MCP server; an agent can pass the same input fields.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=arcadium/zillow-properties",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
