Zoopla /search/byzip API

Power your real estate application with reliable /search/byzip data from Zoopla. This endpoint is built on infrastructure that processes millions of requests daily with consistent sub-second latency and high availability across all regions. Unlike DIY scraping solutions that degrade over time and require constant maintenance, RealtyAPI provides a stable interface that your team can depend on quarter after quarter. The data is fresh — every request fetches live information from Zoopla — and the response format is designed for easy parsing and storage. It is the kind of data infrastructure that lets your engineering team focus on product work instead of plumbing.

What You Can Do With the /search/byzip Endpoint

Here's what this endpoint provides and how you can use the data it returns.

Endpoint Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`postalCode`	STRING	Required	UK postcode — outward code preferred (the part before the space). Full postcodes like `NW3 1AA` typically return 0 results because Zoopla's slug-based search treats them as a single literal location. Outward codes (`NW3`, `SW1A`, `EC1A`, `M1`) resolve to area slugs. Examples: `NW3`, `SW1`, `EC1A`, `M1`, `OX1`
`radius`	NUMBER	Optional	Search radius in miles around the postcode. Zoopla's slug-based search already covers the postcode area; this expands further. Examples: `0.25`, `1`, `5`
`page`	NUMBER	Optional	1-based page number. Each page returns up to 25 listings (Zoopla's fixed page size). The response includes a `nextPage` boolean — keep paging until `nextPage = false`.

`tenure`	ENUM	Optional	Property tenure (UK-specific). Default: omit (any tenure). - `freehold` — own the building and the land - `leasehold` — own the property for a fixed term, ground rent paid to freeholder - `share_of_freehold` — leasehold + share in the building's freehold company Values: `freehold, leasehold, share_of_freehold`

`chainFree`	BOOLEAN	Optional	Set to `true` to return only chain-free listings (no onward chain — common for new builds, executor sales, repossessions).
`retirement`	BOOLEAN	Optional	Set to `true` to return only retirement / over-55 properties.
`sharedOwnership`	BOOLEAN	Optional	Set to `true` to return only shared-ownership listings (buy a share, rent the rest from a housing association).
