This might be a zillow error as I am getting the error on 2021.9.x

I'm also getting this on the latest version. It seems to be a change in the Zillow API. Unfortunately I don't think any updates to this integration will be approved since it does not support a config flow and also uses requests to fetch and then parse the zillow website directly. I believe any changes to this will need to use a third party package that does the parsing for us.
