View.com.au Scraper

Search and extract all real estate properties for sale, rent, and recently sold across Australia from view com au. Collect property prices, full addresses, agent and agency contacts, photos, GPS coordinates, and market insights for any suburb, city, or state — all in structured, ready-to-use format.

What does View com au Scraper do?

This actor searches view.com.au and collects property listing data including:

• For Sale — properties currently on the market
• For Rent — rental listings with weekly prices
• Sold — recently sold properties with sale prices

For every listing, you get the full address, asking price (or sold price), bedrooms, bathrooms, car spaces, land size, property images, listing agent contact details, agency info, GPS coordinates, days on market, and more.

Why use this scraper?

• Lightning fast — extracts ~25 listings per page load with no individual property page visits needed
• Structured data — prices parsed into numeric values, addresses split into components, coordinates included
• Flexible search — state-wide, city-level, or suburb-level searches with price/bedroom/bathroom filters
• Resumable — automatically saves progress and resumes from checkpoint on failure
• Optional detail mode — enable includeDetailPage for full descriptions, floor plans, and sale history

Dataset Views

The output dataset includes 4 pre-configured table views:

View	Fields

Media	ID, address, images, floor plans, hero image
Agents & Agencies	ID, address, agents, agency
Location & Market	ID, address, coordinates, council, days on market, last sold price/year, $/sqm

Proxy Configuration

For best results, use residential proxies with Australian IPs:

{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "proxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "countryCode": "AU"
  }
}

Or use custom proxy URLs:

{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false,
    "proxyUrls": ["http://user:pass@proxy.example.com:8080"]
  }
}

Memory & Performance

Mode	Memory	Speed
Lightning (default)	1024 MB	~25 listings per page load
Detail page mode	2048 MB	~5-10 listings/min (visits each property page)

Memory is automatically allocated based on your includeDetailPage setting.

Tips

• Start small — use maxListings: 25 and maxPages: 1 to verify results before scaling up
• Use suburb + postcode for precise results; omit for broader city/state-level searches
• Lightning mode (default) is 5-10x faster than detail mode and sufficient for most use cases
• Enable detail mode only when you need descriptions, floor plans, or sale history
• Sold properties include lastSoldPrice even in lightning mode
• Checkpoint resume is enabled by default — if the run is interrupted, restart it with the same input and it will continue where it left off
