CIAN Scraper: Property Listings, Prices, Photos & Contacts

CIAN Scraper turns CIAN (Cian.ru), Russia's largest real estate listing site, into a clean property data feed. Collect apartment, room, house, new building and commercial listings for sale or rent, with prices, addresses, room counts, floor and building details, coordinates, photos, descriptions and contact phone numbers included on every row. Search by location and filters, or paste Cian search result links directly, then export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or read the results through the API.

Why This Scraper?

• Two ways in. Search by location and filters, or paste Cian search result URLs directly.
• Every row comes ready to use. Price, address, rooms, area, floor, coordinates, photos, description and contact phone numbers are included on every saved listing, no extra step.
• An optional detail step. Turn on Fetch listing details for fields that only live on the listing page itself: agent and agency identity, a running view count, BTI-verified build year, renovation type, and more.
• Covers the whole market. Flats, rooms, houses, new buildings, and commercial categories, for sale or for rent.
• Built for monitoring. Resume one interrupted crawl, or track a saved search across a schedule and get back only what changed.
• A power-user escape hatch. Pass Cian's own raw filter fields when the built-in filters aren't enough.
• Fails loudly instead of guessing. If nothing could be read or matched, the run stops with a clear message instead of quietly returning an empty dataset.

Use Cases

• Real estate agencies and brokers: build and refresh a listings feed for a market segment, building complex, or client search.
• Price and market research: track price per square meter, floor, and room count trends across districts and cities.
• Property investment monitoring: watch a saved search over time and get back only the new, updated, or delisted properties.
• Lead generation and outreach: collect agent and agency names alongside contact phone numbers and listing details.

Data You Get

Sample shape: values are illustrative placeholders, not from a live record.

Field	Example
id	123456789
url	Cian link to the listing
title	"2-комн. кв., 54 м², 5/9 эт."
jkName	"ЖК Северный" (new building complex name, when the listing belongs to one)
price / priceValue	"12 500 000 ₽" / 12500000
pricePerMeter / currency	231481 / "rur"
address	"Москва, Пресненский р-н, ул. Ленина, 10"
district / metro / metroTime	"Пресненский" / "Баррикадная" / 7
metroLineId / metroLineColor	3 / "00701A" (line of the nearest station)
roomsCount	2
totalArea / livingArea / kitchenArea	54 / 32 / 10
floorNumber / floorsCount	5 / 9
buildYear / materialType	2015 / "monolith"
dealType / category / offerType	"sale" / "flatSale" / "flat"
isFromDeveloper / isPremium / isApartments	false / false / false (true for apartment-hotel units)
phoneNumbers	["+79991234567"]
latitude / longitude	55.7601 / 37.6103
description / formattedFullInfo	"Просторная квартира с ремонтом, рядом метро" / "4-комн.кв. · 6/21 этаж" (short card summary)
imageUrls	array of photo links
mainImage / siteUrl	{"full": "https://img.cian.site/a.jpg"} (cover photo) / "https://www.cian.ru/sale/flat/123456789/" (same link as url)
formattedAddress / formattedFullPrice	"Москва, Пресненский р-н, ул. Ленина, 10" / "12 500 000 ₽" (as displayed on the card)
ceilingHeight	2.8 (metres, when the listing states it)
agent / geo	{"userId": 141493134, "accountType": "agency", "agencyName": "Компания PIONEER", "isAgent": true, "isBuilder": true} / {"coordinates": {"lat": 55.7601, "lng": 37.6103}}
creationDate / addedLabel	"2026-09-20T10:00:00+03:00" / "вчера, 14:40"
scrapedAt	"2026-09-28T08:00:00.000Z"

The mainImage, siteUrl, formattedAddress, formattedFullPrice, ceilingHeight, agent, geo, metroLineId, metroLineColor and isApartments fields come from the search card itself, so they are present even with Fetch listing details off (a field the listing does not state is null).

When Fetch listing details is on, a successfully enriched row also carries agentName, agentCompanyName, agentType, agentIsPro, agentOffersCount, agentAvatarUrl, viewsTotal, viewsToday, houseBuildYear (BTI-verified, often populated when the search card's own buildYear is empty), houseEntrances, houseFlatCount, houseLiftsTotal, houseHeatSupplyType, houseGasSupplyType, houseIsEmergency, repairType, windowsViewType, balconiesCount, bathroomsCombined, bathroomsSeparate, parkingType, amenities, and a detailStatus of ok. When a detail fetch fails, that row still ships with detailStatus: "skipped" and no extra fields, at no extra charge. Incremental mode adds changeType, changedFields, firstSeenAt and lastSeenAt to every row, only when it is switched on.

How to Use

1. Pick a mode: search (location and filters) or url (paste Cian search-result links).
2. For search mode, set Location, Operation, Category, and any of the price, area, floor, or room filters you need.
3. Set Max items to control run size and cost, and turn on Fetch listing details if you need agent info, view counts, or BTI-verified building data.
4. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

In URL mode, Cian answers a link without a city (a plain www.cian.ru search link) with the page of the city nearest the connection. The actor checks that the page it received belongs to the host you pasted; if not, it discards that page and retries the link on a fresh connection, so you always get the city your link names. Use a city subdomain (for example spb.cian.ru) or a cat.php link with region= to pin another city.

Search Moscow flats for sale under 15,000,000 RUB:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "location": "Москва",
  "operationType": "sale",
  "category": "flatSale",
  "rooms": ["2"],
  "maxPrice": 15000000,
  "maxItems": 50
}

Paste a Cian search-result URL:

{
  "mode": "url",
  "urls": ["https://www.cian.ru/cat.php?deal_type=sale&engine_version=2&offer_type=flat&region=1&p=2"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Saint Petersburg rentals with full listing details:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "location": "Санкт-Петербург",
  "operationType": "rent",
  "category": "flatRent",
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 30
}

Power-user filter using Cian's own raw query field:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "location": "Москва",
  "operationType": "sale",
  "advancedFilters": { "repair": { "type": "terms", "value": [2, 3] } },
  "maxItems": 20
}

Run it from your code

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("abotapi/cian-ru-scraper").call(run_input={"mode": "search", "location": "Москва", "operationType": "sale", "maxItems": 50})
for listing in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(listing["title"], listing["price"])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('abotapi/cian-ru-scraper').call({ mode: 'search', location: 'Москва', operationType: 'sale', maxItems: 50 });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or webhooks from the Integrations tab.

Filters and sorts (search mode)

• Sort: default, price low to high, price per m² low to high or high to low, area large first, newest first, walking time to metro, oldest first (creationDateAsc), area small first (totalAreaAsc).
• Numeric filters: price, total area, living area (minLivingArea, maxLivingArea), floor, building floors, building year (minHouseYear, maxHouseYear), ceiling height (minCeilingHeight, maxCeilingHeight).
• Toggles: only from owners (isByHomeowner), from developer (fromDeveloper), first floor only (isFirstFloor), not last floor (notLastFloor), with video (hasVideo), with floor plan (withLayout), short-term daily rent (shortTermRent).
• Lists and windows: rooms, repair (1 none, 2 cosmetic, 3 euro, 4 designer), publishPeriod (last hour, 12 hours, today, 24 hours, week, month).

In URL mode the filters and sort are read from the pasted URL instead.

Output views

The dataset has three views, also linked from the run's Output tab: Overview (the main listing columns), Changes (incremental) (changeType, changedFields, firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt, price) and Detail enrichment (phones, views, BTI build year, renovation type, detailStatus). Every view reads the same rows.

Fetch listing details

fetchDetails loads each saved listing's own page for fields the search results don't carry: agent and agency identity, a running view counter, BTI-verified build year, renovation type, window view, balcony and bathroom counts, parking type, and amenities. It runs only on rows already selected to be saved, after any incremental suppression and the Max items cap, so a suppressed or capped-off listing is never fetched or charged for. It is billed as a detail-enrichment charge, only for listings whose detail page was actually read successfully; a failed detail fetch still returns the base row (with detailStatus: "skipped") at no extra charge.

Resume and recurring updates

• Resume (resumeFromRunId) continues one interrupted crawl: paste its run or dataset ID and this run skips every listing id already saved there, appending only new ones.
• Incremental mode (incrementalMode) is for scheduled runs over the same saved search. Each listing is classified NEW, UPDATED (with changedFields), UNCHANGED (suppressed and not billed unless emitUnchanged is on), REAPPEARED, or EXPIRED (only after a run that scanned the entire tracked search from its first page, and only with emitExpired; a pasted URL that starts past page one, such as one with p=2, never computes EXPIRED). stateKey names or shares the stored baseline; leave it empty and identical searches share one automatically, while different ones never mix. With incremental mode off, output is exactly as before. The search filters (living area, house year, ceiling height, owner, developer, floor, video, layout, renovation, publication period, daily rent) are part of the tracked search, so two schedules that differ only in one of them keep separate baselines. Change detection always leaves out scrapedAt (the actor's own timestamp) and addedLabel (cian's relative "yesterday, 14:40" label); both are still saved in the row. Use ignoreFieldsForChanges to also leave out any other field (for example imageUrls or description): it stays in the output but never makes a listing UPDATED, and changing the list later does not cause a one-time wave of UPDATED rows.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape: the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each record, not the full JSON. Each item becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. (If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.)
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where items should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
mode	string	search	search for filters, or url for pasted Cian links.
urls	array	12 example URLs (see below)	Cian search-result URLs (encode filters in the URL). URL mode only; the search filters below are ignored in this mode. With the field left untouched, URL mode now scrapes the default example URLs (a behaviour change: it previously had no default).

maxPages	integer	0	No page limit when set to 0. The run still stops at Max items.
fetchDetails	boolean	false	Load each saved listing's own detail page for richer fields not on the search card. Billed as a detail-enrichment charge.
proxy	object	Apify Proxy	Connection settings.
mcpConnectors	array	(none)	Optional: send a summary of each record to apps you authorized under Integrations.
notionParentPageUrl	string	(none)	Notion connector only: page under which item pages are created.
maxNotifyListings	integer	50	Cap on items written to each connector per run.
resumeFromRunId	string	(none)	Continue one interrupted crawl: paste a previous run ID (or dataset ID) and this run skips listings it already saved.
incrementalMode	boolean	false	Remember this search's results between scheduled runs and report only what changed.
stateKey	string	(none)	Incremental mode only. Optional manual key identifying this tracked search. Left empty, one is derived automatically from mode, filters, and URLs.

ignoreFieldsForChanges	array	[]	Incremental mode only. Field names (dotted paths for nested fields) left out of change detection. They stay in every saved row.

URL mode: supported URL shapes

URL mode with the urls field untouched scrapes these default example URLs (one per supported shape); replace them with your own. A cat.php p= page number is honoured as the start page.

Shape	Example
City search path	https://www.cian.ru/kupit-kvartiru/
cat.php search, start page p=2	https://www.cian.ru/cat.php?deal_type=sale&engine_version=2&offer_type=flat&region=1&p=2
cat.php filtered and sorted rent search	https://www.cian.ru/cat.php?deal_type=rent&engine_version=2&offer_type=flat&region=1&room1=1&minprice=50000&maxprice=100000&sort=creation_date_desc
City subdomain search	https://spb.cian.ru/kupit-kvartiru/
House sale search	https://www.cian.ru/kupit-dom/
Agency page	https://www.cian.ru/company/10127440/
Agent page	https://www.cian.ru/agents/107153484/

A bare path such as /snyat-kvartiru/ on the main host is redirected by the site to a city chosen from the visitor's location, so use a city subdomain or a cat.php URL with region= to pin the city. Single-listing detail pages (/sale/flat/<id>/) are not supported: the run logs a clear warning for each and skips it.

In search mode, location takes a typed city name (Москва, Санкт-Петербург, Казань). Unknown names are resolved through the site's own city pages; if nothing matches, the run stops with an error telling you to fix the spelling or set Region ID (an unrecognised location now stops the run instead of silently using Moscow).

Plan Requirement

A residential proxy is required. Datacenter connections were measured against this site and are answered with a captcha page ("Captcha - база объявлений ЦИАН") instead of listings, so the actor defaults to a Russian residential connection and cannot work on a datacenter group. Residential traffic is billed to your Apify plan, and Apify free plans do not include residential proxies. Single listing detail pages also served the captcha page on residential tests, so Fetch listing details can leave some rows with detailStatus: "skipped" (not charged).

What you will see in the log and run status:

• When the residential connection is unavailable, the log warns "The selected connection is unavailable to this run. Apify free plans do not include residential proxies. Continuing on a backup connection; some pages may still be unavailable. For residential access, upgrade at https://apify.com/pricing or supply your own proxy URLs." Pages served that way log "Served over the backup connection (the default connection was unavailable)." This warning and the backup connection apply only to the Apify proxy: with your own proxy URLs there is no backup, and a refused proxy ends the run with the "proxy connection was refused" message instead.
• If the account has no proxy access at all, the run stops with "The proxy connection was refused for this account, so no page could be read. Your Apify plan does not include proxy access; a paid plan is required".
• If residential is unavailable and the backup cannot load the pages, the run stops with "No results: residential proxies are unavailable on this run (Apify free plans do not include them), and the backup connection could not load the requested Cian pages."
• If nothing loads for another reason, the run stops with "Could not load any results page (the requests failed), so nothing was collected. This is a connection problem, not an empty search. Please try again later."

You can supply your own proxy URLs under Proxy & connection.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

Pay per event. The current rates are shown on the Pricing tab (paid Apify plans get lower tiered rates). The events and when each one is charged:

Event	When it is charged
Actor start (apify-actor-start)	once per run, per GB of memory
Dataset item (apify-default-dataset-item)	once for each saved listing
Detail enrichment (detail-enrichment)	once per saved listing whose detail page was actually read (Fetch listing details on); skipped rows are not charged

Unchanged or suppressed listings in incremental mode are not billed. Use Max items to cap the cost of any run.

Is it legal to scrape CIAN?

This actor collects only publicly available real estate listings. You are responsible for how you use it: follow CIAN's terms and the laws that apply to you, and get legal advice if you plan commercial redistribution. Contact phone numbers are published by listers and agents as part of the public listing; handle them under the privacy and telecom laws that apply to you.

Can I get only new or changed listings on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule the actor from the Schedules tab and turn on Incremental mode. Each run then classifies every listing as new, updated, unchanged, reappeared, or expired against the previous run of the same search, and unchanged listings are not billed unless you turn that on too.

What is the difference between Resume from run and Incremental mode?

Resume from run continues ONE specific interrupted crawl: it skips listing ids already saved in a past run's dataset so that run can finish without duplicates. Incremental mode is for a recurring, scheduled search: it keeps its own state between separate runs and reports what changed each time. They can combine to bootstrap a monitoring baseline from an interrupted crawl's dataset, but not once that baseline already has tracked listings, in which case the run stops with a message asking you to remove Resume from run or set a different State key.

Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset?

A run fails when it cannot read the site at all after several attempts, when none of the pasted URLs could be read, or when the search matched no listings whatsoever, since the actor treats a completely empty result as indistinguishable from a blocked run and stops with a clear message rather than guessing. Run it again, try broader filters, or try a different region. The one case where a successful run can still save nothing is Incremental mode finding every previously tracked listing unchanged.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push results into Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify.
