Land and Farm Property Scraper: Extract Real Estate Listings Fast

---

What Is Land and Farm?

Land and Farm (landandfarm.com) is a specialized marketplace for agricultural and rural properties across the United States. It hosts tens of thousands of listings ranging from small residential lots to large farm acreages, serving buyers, sellers, and brokers nationwide. Manually extracting property data from search results is tedious and error-prone — the Land and Farm Property Scraper automates this entirely, turning property listings into clean, structured datasets ready for analysis or integration.

---

Overview

The Land and Farm Property Scraper crawls search result pages and extracts comprehensive property details from landandfarm.com listings. It is ideal for:

• Real estate investors tracking market trends and identifying opportunities by region
• Property data aggregators building multi-source listing databases
• Market researchers analyzing land pricing, acreage distribution, and regional patterns
• Real estate professionals monitoring competitor activity and market saturation
• API developers who need structured property data for downstream applications

Key advantages include support for large-scale scraping (up to 200 items per URL), flexible URL management, and graceful error handling via ignore_url_failures.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object with three core parameters:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.landandfarm.com/search/lots-in-south-carolina-for-sale/"
  ],
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "ignore_url_failures": true
}

Field	Type	Description	Example
urls	Array	Search result page URLs to scrape	["https://www.landandfarm.com/search/lots-in-south-carolina-for-sale/"]
max_items_per_url	Integer	Maximum properties to extract per URL (1–200)	200
ignore_url_failures	Boolean	If true, continues scraping if a URL fails; if false, halts on error	true

Tips for best results:

• Copy full search URLs directly from your browser's address bar
• Use filters (state, price range, acreage) to narrow searches before scraping
• Set max_items_per_url based on expected results per page (default: 100)
• Enable ignore_url_failures: true for large batch runs to prevent interruptions
