Why use this Oikotie scraper?

Oikotie contains a large share of Finnish housing listings.

Manual monitoring is slow when you need repeated comparable data.

This actor turns search pages into structured rows that are ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, or databases.

It is designed for reliable search coverage first and detail-page enrichment when you need more fields.

How much does it cost to scrape Oikotie real estate listings?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small run-start event and then a per-listing event for every saved dataset item. The run-start event is $0.005. Listing prices depend on your Apify plan tier; the Free tier is $0.000065849 per saved listing and higher paid tiers receive lower per-listing prices.

Example run	What it does	Estimated Free-plan actor charge*
Quick sample	20 listings from one filtered search	about $0.0063
City snapshot	100 listings with detail enrichment	about $0.0116
Market monitoring batch	1,000 listings across several URLs	about $0.0708

*Estimate = $0.005 run start + saved listings × $0.000065849 on the Free tier. Apify platform compute, proxy, and storage usage may be billed separately by Apify according to your account plan.

The default input is intentionally small so the first run is inexpensive. Use a higher maxItems value for market-wide analysis after confirming the output format fits your workflow.

How to use the actor

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Paste one or more Oikotie search URLs.
3. Choose auto, sale, or rent mode.
4. Set maxItems.
5. Keep detail enrichment enabled if you need full addresses, numeric prices, and photo sets.
6. Start the run.
7. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API.

Input options

startUrls

Paste Oikotie search pages such as:

• https://asunnot.oikotie.fi/myytavat-asunnot/helsinki
• https://asunnot.oikotie.fi/vuokrattavat-asunnot/tampere

mode

Scheduling and monitoring

Create an Apify schedule for recurring snapshots.

For market monitoring, run the same filtered URL daily or weekly.

Store each dataset ID so you can compare price and supply changes over time.

Detail enrichment

Detail enrichment fetches /api/card/{id} for each listing.

It can improve numeric price fields, full addresses, coordinates, and media coverage.

If you only need quick search-card data, disable it.

Sale listing use cases

• Comparable asking-price datasets.
• Broker share-of-listings reports.
• City and district price monitoring.
• New-development supply tracking.
• Photo and description completeness checks.

Rental listing use cases

• Monthly rent monitoring.
• District supply tracking.
• Rental portfolio benchmarking.
• Vacancy lead discovery.
• Deposit and size comparison.

Data quality notes

Oikotie fields vary by listing.

Some listings do not include every broker, floor, coordinate, or fee field.

The actor keeps optional fields empty when the source does not provide them.

The detailFetched field tells you whether detail enrichment succeeded.

Legality

This actor extracts publicly available listing data.

Always review Oikotie.fi terms and applicable laws before using scraped data.

Avoid excessive request volumes.

Do not use the data for unlawful discrimination, spam, or privacy-invasive workflows.

FAQ

Is this an official Oikotie integration?

No. This actor is an independent scraper for publicly available Oikotie.fi listing pages.

Can I scrape both sale and rental listings?

Yes. Provide both sale and rental search URLs and keep mode set to auto.

Troubleshooting

Why are some fields empty?

Oikotie does not provide every field for every listing.

Enable detail enrichment for the richest output.

Why do city URLs matter?

The actor reads Oikotie page parameters from the URL page, including location filters.

Use the filtered URL you want to reproduce.

Why did I get fewer results than maxItems?

The search may contain fewer active listings than requested, or Oikotie may return fewer cards for a narrow filter.
