Built for real-estate analysts, investors, proptech teams, and anyone tracking the Brazilian housing market.

⚡ Quick start

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.imovelweb.com.br/apartamentos-aluguel-sao-paulo-sp.html"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5
}

🧩 Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	array	yes	—	imovelweb.com.br URLs to scrape. Search pages (e.g. https://www.imovelweb.com.br/apartamentos-aluguel-sao-paulo-sp.html) and property pages (/propriedades/...) are both supported.
maxItems	integer	no	5	Maximum number of listings to return per start URL. Search pages are paginated until this limit is reached.
proxyConfiguration	object	no	{ "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "BR" }	Apify proxy settings. The site is protected by Cloudflare, so Brazilian residential proxies are used by default.

📤 Output

Every listing is one dataset row. The itemType field tells the two shapes apart: search for a card from a results page (display strings as shown on the site) and property for a full listing page (numeric fields, address, phone, and photo URLs).

❓ FAQ

• Do I need a proxy? Yes. imovelweb.com.br is protected by Cloudflare, so the Actor defaults to Brazilian residential proxies; other settings are likely to be blocked.
• How many results can I get? maxItems caps results per start URL and the Actor pages through search results until it is reached. Add more start URLs (other cities, property types, or filters) to widen coverage.
• Where do propertyType and schemaType come from? From each listing, never from the start URL. On search cards they are read from the card's own structured data; on property pages from the listing's own type. New-build projects (postingType: DEVELOPMENT) carry the portal's development label instead, e.g. Imóvel novo vertical. The value is the portal's own classification, so it is there even when a card's title is a long description or its URL slug says nothing about the type. When a listing carries no type, both fields are null — the Actor never fills them in from the search.
• Does every item match the property type in my search URL? Not guaranteed. The Actor returns every listing the portal shows for that search and does not filter it. The portal does filter by type, but it groups subtypes under one type (a penthouse, flat, or loft is listed as Apartamento). If you need a strict match, filter on propertyType.
• Can I scrape a single property? Yes — pass its /propriedades/... URL as a start URL to get the property shape with address, phone, and photos.
• Why did a run return fewer items than expected? The site may have changed its layout or tightened its protection. Open an issue and we will update the Actor.
