OpenRent Scraper - UK Rental Listings, Rents and Landlord Data

The OpenRent Scraper collects public UK rental listings from OpenRent. It returns rent per month and per week, deposit, address, postcode, coordinates, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, EPC rating, furnishing, tenant preferences, transport links, landlord response data and photos.

Use it for rental market research, lettings lead generation, portfolio monitoring and relocation analysis. Start from an OpenRent search URL, a location and property type, or listing sitemaps, and choose between lightweight search cards and fully enriched property details.

Main Use Cases for UK Rental Listings

• Rental market research - compare asking rents, deposits and property types across London boroughs and UK cities.
• Lettings lead generation - find landlords and letting agents with public response rates and contact context.
• Portfolio monitoring - track new listings, price changes and availability in a target postcode.
• Relocation analysis - compare commute links, EPC ratings and furnishing across candidate neighborhoods.
• Investment screening - estimate rent bands and deposit requirements before a deeper property review.
• Housing market dashboards - feed rent, bedroom and EPC fields into a BI tool or map.
• Comparable research - collect a reproducible set of listings for a neighborhood or property type.

How It Works

Provide an OpenRent search URL in startUrls, or let the Actor build one from locations and propertyType. Search pages are crawled up to maxCrawlDepth, and each detail page is opened when includeDetails is true. maxItems is the overall listing budget, while maxRequestsPerStartUrl protects each starting search from runaway pagination.

With includeDetails enabled, the parser reads the property page for the full address, postcode, coordinates, rent per month and per week, deposit, bedrooms, bathrooms, maximum tenants, available date, minimum tenancy and tenant preferences. It also captures furnishing, EPC rating, features, landlord name, response rate, response time and a long description.

Transport links are extracted as structured entries with a station or stop name, type and walking time. Photos and the static map image are kept as URL arrays or single URLs so they can be downloaded separately. isLondon marks listings in the London dataset, and source records which OpenRent surface produced the row.

When includeDetails is false, the Actor saves lightweight search cards with the title, rent, deposit, badges and thumbnail but without the full landlord, EPC, transport and photo data. This is faster for broad market counts. includeSitemapUrls can add listing sitemaps for wider discovery, bounded by sitemapCount.

The free preview stops after 10 fully scraped listing details. Some listings omit the deposit, minimum tenancy or landlord response data, and those fields remain null. OpenRent pages change over time, so keep url, listingId and scrapedAt with every row and compare snapshots instead of assuming a listing is still live.

Input

Use a search URL for a reproducible run, or set a location and property type to let the Actor build the search. Detail mode adds the fields needed for property-level analysis.

Field	Type	Required	Default	What it does
startUrls	array	No	London search	OpenRent search, listing or sitemap URLs.
locations	array	No	Empty	One or more UK locations used to build search URLs when startUrls is empty.
propertyType	string	No	Empty	Filter for flats, houses or rooms.
includeSitemapUrls	boolean	No	false	Add OpenRent listing sitemaps as discovery sources.
sitemapCount	integer	No	2	Number of sitemap files to scan when sitemap discovery is enabled.
maxItems	integer	No	50	Maximum listings saved in one run.
maxRequestsPerStartUrl	integer	No	60	Maximum detail requests triggered by one start URL.
includeDetails	boolean	No	true	Open each listing for rent, EPC, landlord, transport and photo data.
maxCrawlDepth	integer	No	2	Maximum pagination depth from each starting URL.
proxy	object	No	No proxy	Optional Apify Proxy configuration for larger or repeated runs.

Start with a single location or search URL and maxItems around 20 to validate coverage. A higher maxItems does not guarantee more rows if the search has fewer listings. The free preview is limited to 10 detailed listings, and detail mode uses more requests than card mode.

Output

The default dataset contains one row per listing. Pricing, property facts, location, landlord signals, media and provenance are separated for analysis.

Field group	Fields	What you get
Identity	url, listingId, title, source	Canonical listing URL, OpenRent listing ID, title and source surface.
Pricing	rentPcm, rentPw, deposit, billsIncluded	Monthly and weekly rent, deposit and whether bills are included.
Property	propertyType, bedrooms, bathrooms, maxTenants, furnishing, epcRating, features	Property type, room counts, furnishing, EPC and feature flags.
Location	address, postcode, latitude, longitude, transportLinks, transportSummary, isLondon	Address, postcode, coordinates, nearby transport and London flag.
Landlord and availability	landlordName, landlordResponseRate, landlordResponseTime, availableFrom, minimumTenancy, tenantPreferences	Public landlord signals, availability date, tenancy terms and tenant preferences.
Media and provenance	photos, mapImageUrl, description, availabilityBadge, scrapedAt	Photo URLs, map image, description, badge and observation timestamp.

Deposit, minimum tenancy, landlord response data and some transport fields can be null when OpenRent does not publish them. rentPw is a derived weekly figure from the listing, not a separate negotiation. Use listingId as the stable key and keep both rent fields because UK lettings comparisons often use different periods.

Pricing

Pricing is pay-per-event with separate events for full listing details and lightweight search cards. There is no actor-start event in the current pricing configuration.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD+
Listing detail	$0.0005	$0.00049	$0.000485	$0.00048
Search card	$0.00015	$0.00014	$0.000135	$0.00013

A fully enriched listing costs $0.50 per 1,000 on FREE, falling to $0.48 per 1,000 on GOLD+. A search card costs $0.15 per 1,000 on FREE and $0.13 per 1,000 on GOLD+. A 1,000-listing detail run is therefore about $0.50 before compute, while the same volume in card mode is about $0.15. The free preview is limited to 10 detailed listings.

Example Input

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.openrent.co.uk/properties-to-rent/london" }
  ],
  "locations": [],
  "propertyType": "flats",
  "includeSitemapUrls": false,
  "maxItems": 20,
  "maxRequestsPerStartUrl": 60,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxCrawlDepth": 2,
  "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

This searches London flats, keeps up to 20 listings and opens each detail page. Sitemap discovery stays off so the run remains focused on the supplied search.

Example Output

This is a trimmed real record. Photos, features, tenant preferences and the full description are omitted here but appear in the dataset.

Integrations and Automation

Run the Actor from the Apify API, Apify MCP, a scheduled task, Zapier, Make, n8n or your own data pipeline. Export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or load rows into a property database, Google Sheets, Airtable, a BI warehouse or a webhook.

Use listingId as the stable key and retain url for provenance. Normalize rentPcm and rentPw before comparing neighborhoods, and keep deposit separate because it may represent a different number of weeks. Join transport links by listing ID rather than flattening arrays into a single string.

For market monitoring, schedule a daily or weekly run and compare rent, availability and landlord response fields between snapshots. Keep scrapedAt with every row so a withdrawn or re-priced listing has a clear timeline. Card mode is a cheaper way to detect new listings before enriching selected rows.

FAQ

Does OpenRent require a login?

No. The Actor reads public rental search and listing pages without logging in. It does not contact landlords or submit enquiries.

What is the difference between detail and card mode?

Detail mode opens each listing and returns the full address, EPC, landlord, transport and photo data. Card mode returns the lighter search-result fields and costs less.

Why is the deposit missing?

Some OpenRent listings do not publish a deposit or tenancy term. The field remains null rather than being estimated from rent.

Can I scrape multiple cities?

Yes. Add several locations or supply multiple search URLs. maxRequestsPerStartUrl limits detail requests per starting URL.

How many listings can the free preview return?

The free preview stops after 10 fully scraped listing details. Paid runs are limited by maxItems, the search results and normal platform limits.

Are sitemap URLs required?

No. Sitemap discovery is optional and useful for broad coverage. For a reproducible city or property-type run, a normal search URL is usually better.

For AI Agents and LLM Apps

The Actor returns structured UK rental listings with rents, property facts, location, transport and landlord signals, suitable for market analysis and enrichment.

• One row represents one public OpenRent listing. Use listingId as the key and scrapedAt as the observation time.
• rentPcm and rentPw are different representations of the asking rent; do not sum them or treat both as independent prices.
• deposit, minimumTenancy, landlordResponseRate and some transport fields can be null. Missing data is not a zero value.
• transportLinks and photos are arrays. Preserve them as arrays or explode them deliberately in a warehouse.
• The free preview is limited to 10 detailed listings; search-card events are priced separately from detail events.

Legal and Compliance

This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by OpenRent. It reads publicly visible rental listings for legitimate market research and lettings analysis. The source platform terms and applicable housing law still apply.

Rental listings can include personal data such as a landlord name and contact context. Use the data for a lawful purpose, keep a documented basis where required, honor deletion and opt-out requests, and do not use it for discriminatory housing practices or unsolicited bulk contact.
