Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Rightmove Scraper A fast, configurable Apify Actor that scrapes property listings from **Rightmove (UK)** — sale, rent, new homes, commercial, and sold house prices — and returns clean, structured JSON. Built on **Crawlee + Cheerio** (with Playwright for the sold-prices SPA), so it's significantly cheaper and faster than browser-only scrapers. --- ### Features - ✅ **6 search modes** — for sale, to rent, new homes, commercial sale, commercial rent, sold prices - ✅ **Search by location text** (`London`, `SW1A 1AA`, `Brighton`) — auto-resolves to Rightmove's internal location ID - ✅ **Search by URL** — paste any Rightmove search URL or property URL, scraper auto-detects - ✅ **Scrape by property ID** — feed a list of IDs directly - ✅ **70+ fields per property** — price, address, agent, photos, EPC, floorplans, station distances, council tax, tenure, listing history, broadband, mortgage helper, and more - ✅ **Smart pagination** — handles up to ~1,050 results per search with auto-stop at `maxItems` - ✅ **Filters** — price range, bedrooms, property type, radius, added-to-site, sort order, furnishing - ✅ **Detail toggle** — disable detail pages for fast card-only scraping (much cheaper) - ✅ **Built-in IP rotation** — proxy is bundled into the Actor; you don't need to configure anything --- ### Input All fields are optional, but you must provide **at least one** of: - `startUrls` — Rightmove search or property URLs - `propertyIds` — list of numeric property IDs - `searchLocation` (with `searchType`) — to build a search | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `startUrls` | array | List of Rightmove URLs (search, property, or sold-prices). Auto-classified. | | `propertyIds` | string[] | Numeric Rightmove property IDs to scrape directly. | | `searchType` | enum | `SALE` / `RENT` / `NEW_HOMES` / `COMMERCIAL_SALE` / `COMMERCIAL_RENT` / `SOLD` | | `searchLocation` | string | Free-text location: `"London"`, `"Brighton"`, `"SW1A 1AA"`, etc. | | `radius` | enum | Search radius in miles (`0.0`–`40.0`) | | `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | int | Price filters (£) | | `minBedrooms` / `maxBedrooms` | int | Bedroom filters (0–10) | | `propertyTypes` | array | `detached`, `semi-detached`, `terraced`, `flat`, `bungalow`, `land`, `park-home` | | `addedToSite` | enum | `anytime`, `1`, `3`, `7`, `14` (days) | | `includeSold` | bool | Include Sold STC / Under Offer (sale) | | `includeLetAgreed` | bool | Include Let Agreed (rent) | | `furnishType` | enum | `furnished`, `partFurnished`, `unfurnished`, `furnishedOrUnfurnished`, `any` | | `sortType` | enum | `6` newest / `10` most reduced / `1` highest / `2` lowest / `3` oldest / `4` most recently reduced | | `maxItems` | int | Cap on records pushed (0 = unlimited). Default `200`. | | `scrapePropertyDetails` | bool | If `true` (default), opens each property page for full data. If `false`, returns search-card data only (cheaper, fewer fields). | | `maxConcurrency` | int | Default `10` | | `maxRequestRetries` | int | Default `5` | | `debugLog` | bool | Enable verbose logging | #### Example inputs **1. Search by location** ```json { "searchType": "SALE", "searchLocation": "Brighton", "minBedrooms": 2, "maxPrice": 500000, "maxItems": 100 } ```` **2. Scrape a Rightmove search URL with all defaults** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?searchType=RENT&locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490&radius=1.0&minBedrooms=2" } ], "maxItems": 50 } ``` **3. Scrape specific properties** ```json { "propertyIds": ["165056381", "164778192"] } ``` **4. Sold house prices** ```json { "searchType": "SOLD", "searchLocation": "SW1A 1AA", "maxItems": 50 } ``` *** ### Output One JSON record per property, pushed to the dataset. Sample (truncated): ```json { "id": 165056381, "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/165056381", "transactionType": "BUY", "channel": "RES_BUY", "propertySubType": "Flat", "bedrooms": 2, "bathrooms": 2, "price": 425000, "priceCurrency": "GBP", "primaryPriceText": "£425,000", "priceQualifier": "Guide Price", "displayAddress": "Frans Hals Court, Amsterdam Road, LONDON E14", "postcode": "E14 3UX", "outcode": "E14", "incode": "3UX", "ukCountry": "England", "latitude": 51.495241, "longitude": -0.006648, "tenureType": "LEASEHOLD", "description": "GUIDE PRICE - £425,000 - £450,000\n\nThis bright and spacious 800+ sq ft two-bedroom...", "keyFeatures": ["*Chain Free*", "Long Lease & Low Service Charge", "..."], "images": [ { "url": "https://media.rightmove.co.uk/property-photo/.../1bddb90d75f72ff2f6d13018ec3772be.jpeg", "thumbnail": "...max_135x100.jpeg", "medium": "...max_476x317.jpeg", "large": "...max_656x437.jpeg" } ], "floorplans": [{ "url": "...", "caption": "Floorplan 1" }], "epcGraphs": [{ "url": "...", "caption": "EPC 1" }], "nearestStations": [ { "name": "Crossharbour & London Arena Station", "types": ["LIGHT_RAILWAY"], "distance": 0.34, "unit": "miles" } ], "listingUpdateReason": "Reduced on 11/03/2026", "agent": { "branchId": 11472, "branchDisplayName": "Felicity J Lord, Canary Wharf", "companyTradingName": "Spicerhaart", "displayAddress": "22-23 Harbour Exchange Square London E14 9GE", "logoPath": "https://media.rightmove.co.uk/partner-logo/...jpeg" }, "agentTel": "020 ...", "councilTaxBand": null, "annualServiceCharge": null, "scrapedAt": "2026-05-05T13:21:44.000Z" } ``` For card-only mode (`scrapePropertyDetails: false`) the schema is smaller (~30 fields) but extracted in a single request per page (much cheaper). *** ### Tips - **Free-text location not found?** Provide a more specific name (e.g. `"London Borough of Camden"`) or paste a Rightmove search URL into `startUrls` instead. - **Cost control:** set `maxItems`. The scraper enqueues at most `maxItems × 1.2` detail requests, so you only pay for what you ask for. - **Rightmove caps** search results at ~1,050 per query (42 pages × 25). To go beyond, split your search by sub-region or postcode area. *** ### Disclaimer This Actor is provided for **educational and research** purposes.

The scraper auto-detects the type (search vs. property vs. sold prices). If you fill this in, the `Search by location` fields below are ignored. ## `propertyIds` (type: `array`): List of Rightmove property IDs (numeric) to scrape directly without going through search. ## `searchType` (type: `string`): Used together with `searchLocation` to build a search URL. Ignored if you provide Start URLs. ## `searchLocation` (type: `string`): Free-text location (postcode, town, region) used to build a search URL — e.g. `London`, `SW1A 1AA`, `Brighton`. The scraper resolves it to Rightmove's `locationIdentifier` automatically. ## `radius` (type: `string`): Search radius around the location. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Lower bound for property price (in £). Leave empty for no lower limit. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Upper bound for property price (in £). Leave empty for no upper limit. ## `minBedrooms` (type: `integer`): Minimum number of bedrooms (0–10). Leave empty for no lower limit. ## `maxBedrooms` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of bedrooms (0–10). Leave empty for no upper limit. ## `propertyTypes` (type: `array`): Restrict by property type (sale/rent only). ## `addedToSite` (type: `string`): Filter by how recently the listing was added. ## `includeSold` (type: `boolean`): For sale searches, include properties marked Sold STC or Under Offer. ## `includeLetAgreed` (type: `boolean`): For rent searches, include properties marked Let Agreed. ## `furnishType` (type: `string`): Restrict by furnishing status. Only applies to rental searches. ## `sortType` (type: `string`): Order in which Rightmove returns the results. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of property records to push to the dataset (across all start URLs / searches). 0 = unlimited. ## `scrapePropertyDetails` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, the scraper opens each property page to extract the full data set (description, EPC, floorplans, agent contact, station distances, history, etc.). Disable to save credits and only collect search-card data. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of parallel requests. Lower this if you hit rate limits. ## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`): How many times to retry a failed request before giving up. ## `debugLog` (type: `boolean`): Enable verbose debug-level logs (useful for troubleshooting). ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [], "propertyIds": [], "searchType": "SALE", "searchLocation": "London", "radius": "0.0", "propertyTypes": [], "addedToSite": "anytime", "includeSold": true, "includeLetAgreed": true, "furnishType": "any", "sortType": "6", "maxItems": 50, "scrapePropertyDetails": true, "maxConcurrency": 10, "maxRequestRetries": 5, "debugLog": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `properties` (type: `string`): Dataset of Rightmove property records produced by this run. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
