Is there no other way?

Unfortunately, there is no other way to pull data from Zillow to Excel. Zillow does not provide an API to pull data from their website. It is understandable that they do not want to provide an API. They want to keep their data to themselves.

The reason for that is that Zillow is a real estate website. They want to make money by selling their data to real estate agents and advertisers.
