Propertyguru Scraper

Scrape property listings from PropertyGuru Group's Southeast Asia portals — propertyguru.com.sg (Singapore), propertyguru.com.my (Malaysia) and ddproperty.com (Thailand) — with price, PSF, beds/baths, floor and land area, tenure, MRT proximity, agent details, photos, description and coordinates. Sale and rent listings from all three markets merge into one dataset, at $0.00085 per listing — and it works against Cloudflare-protected portals without a browser, reading the JSON each site already embeds in its own pages.

Built for SE Asia proptech teams, buyer agents, mortgage brokers, expat relocation services and price-trend researchers.

Main Use Cases

• Singapore property data — build a clean database of SG sale and rental listings with price, PSF, tenure and MRT proximity
• Thailand real estate data — Thai listings via ddproperty, with Thai titles and prices returned as correct Unicode
• Malaysia property listings — KL-area condos, landed homes and new launches with agent and agency data
• Property price monitoring — scheduled runs track price changes, new listings and delistings per district or project
• Agent lead generation — collect agent name, agency, CEA licence number and profile URL for outreach
• HDB resale and condo research — filter by property type (CONDO, HDB, LANDED, APARTMENT, COMMERCIAL) and district

How It Works — No Browser, Reads the Sites' Own JSON

PropertyGuru portals are Next.js SSR sites: every page embeds its data as a JSON blob in a <script id="__NEXT_DATA__"> tag. The actor fetches the page HTML over plain HTTP and parses that embedded JSON directly — no browser, no DOM scraping, no JavaScript execution, roughly ~10x cheaper than a Playwright actor. A pasted listing URL on the Singapore or Malaysia portal goes one step further and is read from the portal's own JSON listing endpoint — a few KB instead of the ~58 KB detail page, about 9x less residential proxy traffic per row — with the HTML page kept as an automatic fallback.

The one thing that makes it work: Cloudflare blocks requests that look like plain Node. The actor impersonates a real browser's TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint at the transport layer (impit). The measured evidence, from an A/B test against a live MY listing page on the same residential proxy pool:

Transport	Requests passed
Node / Crawlee default TLS signature	1 of 6
Browser fingerprint impersonation	6 of 6

Every failure under the default signature was a Cloudflare managed challenge (__cf_chl) — a response to how the request looks on the wire, not a puzzle to solve. No JavaScript was ever executed in either arm.

Both search pages and single-listing detail pages are supported. The actor reads the result pages — one request per ~20 listings — so a run of any size stays cheap and fast; paste individual listing URLs to read that specific listing. Singapore and Malaysia URLs are fetched from the portal's own JSON listing endpoint (a few KB per row), while Thailand and any lookup that fails fall back to the listing's HTML page. Either way you get the detail-only fields (coordinates on every portal, land area, description, full gallery). Blocks are handled by rotating residential IPs (up to 12 attempts per request, paced across a ~7-minute window). Each portal draws from a small pool of exit IPs (three by default) and each individual IP is spaced 1s apart by default (requestDelayMs, raise it to 2000 for the more conservative pacing), so a run goes several times faster than a single IP would allow without any one IP being hit harder — the same per-IP politeness, just more IPs.

Build a Southeast Asia Property Database Without the PropertyGuru API

There is no documented PropertyGuru listing API. The route widely documented in the wild (/api/v10/web/search/listings) belongs to 99.co, a competitor of PropertyGuru — it does not exist on these domains, and the published mobile-app endpoints are third-party reverse-engineering that existing scrapers only reach after launching a browser to clear Cloudflare. What does work is exactly what PropertyGuru serves its own pages: the SSR __NEXT_DATA__ blob, and — for Singapore and Malaysia listing URLs — the portals' own JSON listing endpoint (/api/consumer/agent-profile/listing-by-id), read over plain HTTP with TLS impersonation and no browser at all. That is the cheapest way to get structured property data for Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand — while SG-only competitors on the Store cover just one market.

Coordinates: detail pages publish lat/lng for all three portals; the search surface exposes coordinates only for Singapore (map-search). Paste individual listing URLs to get detail-page coordinates everywhere. Thai text: ddproperty sends an incorrect charset in Content-Type; the actor pins UTF-8 decoding so Thai titles, prices and agent names come back correct (before the fix, prices read as mojibake like a++ 3,950,000).

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
countries	array	No	["th"]	Portals to scrape: Thailand (ddproperty.com), Singapore (propertyguru.com.sg), Malaysia (propertyguru.com.my) — combine several in one run, results merge
startUrls	array	No	[]	Exact URLs to scrape (result pages or single listings, any of the three portals, mixed freely). Overrides countries and all filters below
listingType	enum	No	sale	sale or rent
freetext	string	No	""	Location / district / MRT / project search text, e.g. Orchard, Mont Kiara
propertyType	enum	No	""	CONDO, HDB, LANDED, APARTMENT, COMMERCIAL
minPrice / maxPrice	integer	No	0	Price range in local currency (SGD / MYR / THB); 0 = no bound
bedrooms	integer	No	-1	Exact bedroom count (0 = studio, -1 = any)
useMapSearch	boolean	No	false	Singapore only: return lat/lng for every listing via the map-search surface
maxItems	integer	No	50	Max listings for the whole run (split evenly across selected portals); the run fetches as many pages as needed to reach it
requestDelayMs	integer	No	1000	Gap between requests from the same exit IP; each portal uses a small pool of IPs, so lower is faster but blocks sooner
maxBlockRetries	integer	No	12	Retries for a blocked request on a freshly rotated IP
blockRetryBudgetSecs	integer	No	420	Total seconds one blocked page may wait between retries
proxy	object	No	RESIDENTIAL	Every portal sits behind Cloudflare; each selected portal gets a geo-matched exit IP automatically

A pasted URL wins over the Portals dropdown — a .com.sg link scrapes Singapore even if Thailand is selected, and the run logs which portals went unused so the override is never silent. maxItems is a total for the run, split evenly between selected portals.

Output — Property Listing Records for Market Research

One dataset item per listing. Search-surface rows include:

Field	Description
id, title, url	Listing identity and direct detail URL
price, priceMin, priceMax, pricePretty, currency, priceQualifier	Price in local currency; range bounds for new-build projects; "Price on Ask" qualifier when no figure exists
pricePsf	Price per square foot, when published
floorArea, floorAreaValue, landArea, landAreaValue	Areas as published and as bare numbers (land on detail pages; key for Thai listings)
bedrooms, bathrooms, tenure, buildYear	Room counts, freehold/leasehold code (F, L99), completion year
propertyType, propertyTypeCode, projectId	Condo/HDB/Landed/Apartment/Commercial + portal code + project grouping
fullAddress, shortAddress, districtCode, districtText, regionText, areaText, nearestMrt	Location tiers; Thai-only subdistrict; nearest MRT/BTS with distance (Singapore)
description, features, photoCount, images	Listing text, amenity tags, photo count and URLs
agentName, agentId, agentLicense, agentProfileUrl, agentVerified	Agent identity, CEA registration, profile link
agencyName, agencyId	Agency identity
latitude, longitude	Coordinates on detail pages for every portal; SG map-search on the search surface
postedOn, updatedOn, recencyText	First-posted vs last-changed dates (an edited listing is not "new")
statusCode, isProjectListing, isPremiumProjectListing, projectListingSubType, isVerified, isOfficialListing, isDeveloperListing	Listing provenance flags. isProjectListing comes from the page; Singapore and Malaysia detail rows carry the endpoint's own isPremiumProjectListing and projectListingSubType instead
sourcePageUrl	The page the row came from

}

Detail-page rows (from pasted single-listing URLs) additionally carry landArea, latitude/longitude for every portal, the full image gallery, and both postedOn and updatedOn. On Singapore and Malaysia these rows are built from the portal's JSON listing endpoint; Thailand — and any Singapore/Malaysia lookup that fails — is built from the HTML page.

SE Asia Property Listings at $0.00085 Per Listing

The actor bills $0.00085 per listing (Apify's apify-default-dataset-item) plus the standard $0.00005 actor start. Listings read from a pasted single-listing ("detail") URL additionally carry a detail-listing event — charged once per row. Scraping by detail URL costs one request and one result per listing, whereas a search result page returns 20-30 listings from a single request, so runs that feed search, MRT or district URLs stay at the flat per-result rate and only pasted listing URLs pay the surcharge. The actor uses 256 MB memory, fetches only as many result pages as maxItems needs, and de-duplicates by listing ID so overlapping result pages never duplicate rows. Proxy cost (RESIDENTIAL, geo-matched) is billed separately by Apify by data transfer; free accounts get a preview, paid plans run to your caps.

Integrations & Automation

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the official PropertyGuru API?

There is no documented public PropertyGuru listing API. The /api/v10/web/search/listings route often cited in tutorials belongs to 99.co, a PropertyGuru competitor, and does not exist on these domains. This actor reads the same JSON PropertyGuru renders server-side to its own pages — the __NEXT_DATA__ blob on search and Thai listing pages, and the portals' own listing endpoint for Singapore and Malaysia listing URLs.

What are alternatives to this actor for Southeast Asia property data?

SG-focused Store actors: shahidirfan/propertyguru-scraper, abotapi/propertyguru-sg-scraper, lentic_clockss/propertyguru-sg-scraper. Off-Store, 99.co operates its own competing portal in Singapore. Ours is the only no-browser actor covering SG, MY and TH.

Why is my run returning an empty dataset?

Nearly always Cloudflare blocking — the actor logs the exact cause. The default RESIDENTIAL proxy with geo-matched country is essential (datacenter IPs get challenge pages, not listings). Check proxy is on, then wait and re-run: exhausted residential IPs turn over in minutes, and blockRetryBudgetSecs (default 420s) rides that out automatically.

Why not just use a browser?

A JS challenge is a reaction to how a request looks on the wire, so a browser-accurate TLS/HTTP2 fingerprint satisfies it without executing anything — the A/B above measured 1/6 vs 6/6. A browser also changes the cost profile by ~an order of magnitude (hundreds of MB RAM and seconds per page vs a few KB and a couple of seconds), which defeats the reason to use this actor at all.

Why are coordinates null in my run?

Coordinates are published on detail pages for all three portals; on the search surface only Singapore returns them, and only when you enable map-search. A plain search run returning null lat/lng is by design, not missing data — paste individual listing URLs to get detail-page rows with coordinates, land area and the full gallery.

Why is a price missing on some listings?

New-build projects are advertised as a range ("RM 1,300,000 - RM 1,500,000") or as "Price on Ask". The range lands in priceMin/priceMax; "Price on Ask" leaves price as null (never a misleading 0) with priceQualifier recording the case. tenure holds only the freehold/leasehold code (F, L99), not a full lease-length statement.

Can I scrape by district or MRT station?

Yes — freetext accepts areas, districts, MRT/BTS stations and project names (e.g. Orchard, Tampines, Mont Kiara); nearestMrt comes back for Singapore listings. For complex filters, the most reliable path is building the URL in your browser and pasting it into startUrls.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

• Purpose: given portals, filters or direct URLs, returns one structured row per property listing (price, PSF, rooms, tenure, location tiers, MRT, agent, photos, coordinates on detail pages) from PropertyGuru's SG/MY/TH portals.
• Minimal working input:

{ "countries": ["sg"], "listingType": "sale", "maxItems": 50 }

• Variant inputs — direct URL: { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/..." }] }; rent: { "countries": ["my"], "listingType": "rent", "freetext": "Mont Kiara", "maxItems": 100 }.
• Output fields: id, title, url, country, portal, listingType, price, priceMin, priceMax, pricePretty, priceQualifier, currency, pricePsf, floorArea, floorAreaValue, landArea, landAreaValue, bedrooms, bathrooms, tenure, buildYear, propertyType, propertyTypeCode, projectId, fullAddress, shortAddress, districtCode, districtText, regionText, areaText, nearestMrt, description, features, photoCount, images, agentName, agentId, agentLicense, agentProfileUrl, agentAvatar, agentVerified, agencyName, agencyId, latitude, longitude, postedOn, postedUnix, updatedOn, updatedUnix, recencyText, statusCode, isProjectListing, isVerified, isOfficialListing, isDeveloperListing, isPreLaunched, sourcePageUrl.
• Behaviors an agent should know: all three portals sit behind Cloudflare — keep the default RESIDENTIAL proxy with geo-matched countries; datacenter IPs yield empty runs. startUrls overrides countries and every filter. maxItems is split evenly between selected portals. Rows from pasted listing URLs carry land area and lat/lng for every portal; plain search rows return null coordinates except SG map-search. tenure is a code (F, L99), not a full statement; agentLicense is null for Thailand. price is null (with priceQualifier: "Price on Ask") when no figure exists — do not retry such listings seeking a price. postedOn is first-posted; updatedOn records edits and must not be treated as a new listing. Thai text is already UTF-8 correct. A run that returns nothing while pages load is Cloudflare — wait and retry, widening blockRetryBudgetSecs first.
• Billing: pay-per-result — $0.00085 per listing + standard $0.00005 actor start; listings read from pasted single-listing URLs add a detail-listing event per row; residential proxy traffic billed separately by Apify.
