Does Zillow allow AI agents?

Dispute this

Section 5 (Prohibited Use) of the Terms of Use bars automated queries, including screen and database scraping, spiders, robots, crawlers and bypassing "captcha" or similar precautions, and bars bypassing measures that prevent or restrict access. Information may be copied only without the aid of automated processes and only as necessary for personal use. No date was found on the Terms of Use page.

What the site's own pages say

Each line links to the page it comes from. Lines marked as crawler rules come from the site's robots.txt and tell automated crawlers what not to fetch; they are not legal terms.
