Century 21 Scraper — US Property Listings, MLS Numbers and Listing-Agent Leads

Extract Century 21 real-estate listings and listing-agent contact data from century21.com for market analysis, agent lead generation and property monitoring. Search by city, state or ZIP with price, bed, bath and sqft filters.

Two modes: fast mode returns one compact row per listing straight from the search page with no extra requests, or contact mode visits each property page to add the listing agent's phone, email, office, description, MLS number and photos.

Century 21 has no public developer API. Its listings are only reachable through the site's own front-end, which is exactly what this Actor reads — as clean JSON or HTML, without a browser.

Main use cases

• Real-estate agent lead generation — listing agent name, phone, email and brokerage, with MLS number and property context attached
• Comparable-sales and pricing research — price, beds, baths, sqft, lot size, year built and status per listing
• Neighborhood and ZIP-level market tracking — run the same search on a schedule and diff price and inventory
• Property aggregator and portal builds — photo URLs and listing URLs straight into your own catalog
• Investor prospecting — filter by price band, bedroom count or sqft to build a shortlist before outreach
• Brokerage footprint analysis — group by agentOffice to map which offices cover which markets

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
startUrls	array	no	[]	Direct century21.com/homes/list or /homes/detail URLs. Leave empty and use city / state / zip below instead. Takes priority over the location fields.

Build a listing monitor and agent lead list on a schedule

Every Apify Actor is callable over HTTP, so the standard setup is a recurring run against the same search:

• Daily — same zip or city + state; diff price and status to catch price drops, new listings and status changes
• Weekly — contact mode on a smaller maxListings to keep an agent lead list warm with fresh phone and email
• Monthly — new ZIP codes to grow a market-coverage dataset
• Wire it into your CRM — Apify webhooks, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and 100+ integrations fire on run completion; results export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML or RSS

Pick one memory profile per mode: 256 MB is enough for both, since neither uses a browser.

FAQ

Is there an official Century 21 API?

No. Century 21 does not publish a public developer API for listing data. Its listings come from MLS feeds, and the clean official route — the RESO Web API / IDX — requires a licensed broker of record to sign a display agreement and typically $50–$500 per MLS per month. You cannot buy your way in with a credit card. This Actor reads the same public listing surface directly, with no licence in the chain.

What are the alternatives to this Actor?

• RESO Web API / IDX providers — the clean, licence-compliant route, but weeks of paperwork and a broker of record in the loop.
• Zillow Group's MLS Listings platform — invite-only, partner-by-partner, and normalised to the RESO dictionary.
• Aggregator portals (Zillow, Realtor, Rightmove APIs) — a different schema per source, so you rebuild normalisation yourself.
• Browser-based scrapers — unnecessary here, because this Actor's mode reads the site's own front-end payload directly.

Why is the Agent contact data behind includeDetails?

Because it costs extra requests. Fast mode reads the search result page, which already carries price, beds, baths, sqft, status and agent name — one request for the whole page of results. Agent phone, email, brokerage, description, MLS number and the full photo set only exist on the individual property page, so contact mode makes one extra request per listing. That is the trade-off: includeDetails: false for cheap inventory sweeps, true for lead lists.

How do I search by location?

Three ways. city + state (state is required for a city search), zip on its own, or startUrls with a raw century21.com/homes/list/... URL, which bypasses location building entirely. The resolved location comes back on every row as placeName and placeType, so you always know what was actually searched.

What do I get if I pass a direct listing URL?

startUrls accepts /homes/detail URLs as well as search URLs. Pass detail URLs and you get those specific properties (with agent contact, since there's no search page to shortcut from); pass a search URL and you get that search's result set.

Does it work without a proxy?

Yes. Cheerio mode reads the site's own front-end payload and works from a normal datacenter IP. proxy defaults to useApifyProxy: false — enable it only if you hit rate-limiting at high volume.

How much does it cost?

Listing rows are billed at $0.0019–$0.002 per row, so roughly $1.90–$2.00 per 1,000 listings. Agent contact details are a separate pay-per-event (Contact detail, $0.00085–$0.0009 each) charged only in contact mode. No browser is used, so compute cost is a fraction of a Playwright-based actor.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Callable via the Apify MCP server and the Apify API. Returns US real-estate listings from century21.com, one flat row per property, with listing-agent contact fields when contact mode is on.

Minimal valid input — fastest possible run, one row per listing from the search page:

{ "city": "Austin", "state": "TX" }

Agent lead list — one extra request per listing, adds phone, email and office:

{ "city": "Los Angeles", "state": "CA", "includeDetails": true, "maxListings": 100 }

ZIP-targeted inventory filter:

{ "zip": "33101", "minPrice": 400000, "maxPrice": 900000, "minBeds": 3 }

Explicit URLs — bypasses location building entirely:

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.century21.com/homes/list/city/ca/los-angeles" }] }

Output fields — url, listingId, title, price, address, street, city, state, zip, bedrooms, bathrooms, sqft, lotSize, yearBuilt, propertyType, status, description, mlsNumber, photoCount, photos, agentId, agentName, agentPhone, agentEmail, agentOffice, placeName, placeType, source, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know

• state is required whenever you use city or zip. city alone will not build a usable search URL.
• zip overrides city and state. If both are supplied, the ZIP wins.
• startUrls overrides all location fields. When set, city / state / zip are ignored.
• includeDetails defaults to false. Leaving it off is the cheap path — one request per results page. Turning it on makes one extra request per listing and bills a Contact detail event per row.
• Fast mode does not populate agentPhone, agentEmail, description, mlsNumber, photos or yearBuilt. Do not assume those fields exist unless includeDetails is true.
• maxListings is hard-capped at 1000. Setting it higher does nothing.
• price, bedrooms, bathrooms, sqft and yearBuilt can arrive as numbers, strings or booleans depending on which front-end surface produced the row (see source). Coerce before arithmetic.
• photos is an array of URLs, not an image payload — no image bytes are downloaded, so this stays cheap.

Billing model — pay per event: one result event per listing row ($0.0019–$0.002) and, in contact mode only, one Contact detail event per row with agent contact data ($0.00085–$0.0009).
