RE/MAX Portugal Scraper

What does RE/MAX Portugal Scraper do?

RE/MAX Portugal Scraper extracts property listings from remax.pt, Portugal's largest RE/MAX network with 45,000+ active listings. It returns 60+ data fields per property including full descriptions, all photos, GPS coordinates, energy ratings, and agent contact details.

Unlike browser-based scrapers, this Actor calls the RE/MAX internal API directly — making it faster, cheaper, and more reliable. A typical run extracts 100 properties in under 10 seconds.

Tips for best results

• English and Portuguese names both work — "Lisbon" or "Lisboa", "Oporto" or "Porto", "Algarve" for the whole Faro district. Accents are optional ("Setubal" = "Setúbal")
• Towns, parishes, and neighborhoods work too — "Ericeira", "Alfama", "Quarteira", "Arroios", "Cacilhas" and many more resolve automatically
• Combine filters for targeted results — e.g., buy + residential + 2-3 bedrooms + 100k-300k price range
• Start small — test with maxItems=20 to verify results before running large extractions
• Sort by price reduction to find discounted properties and investment opportunities
• Disable descriptions (includeDescriptions: false) when you only need structured data — reduces dataset size significantly
• Commercial properties — use listingClass: "commercial" to find offices, warehouses, stores, and hotels

Is it legal to scrape RE/MAX Portugal?

Scraping publicly available real estate listings is generally considered legal. Court rulings such as hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn have affirmed that collecting publicly accessible data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. RE/MAX property listings are publicly visible to anyone browsing the website.

Key points:

• Only publicly listed property data is collected (prices, locations, features)
• No login credentials or private accounts are accessed
• The scraper respects rate limits to minimize server impact
• Extracted data should be used responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws

Always review RE/MAX's Terms of Service and consult legal counsel for commercial use cases. For more details, see Apify's guide on web scraping legality.

Legality

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal according to the US Court of Appeals ruling (HiQ Labs v. LinkedIn). This actor only accesses publicly available information and does not require authentication. Always review and comply with the target website's Terms of Service before scraping. For personal data, ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations.

FAQ

How fast is RE/MAX Portugal Scraper?

Very fast. It extracts properties at ~9 items/second, so 100 properties take about 10 seconds and 1,000 properties take about 2 minutes. This is because it uses direct API access instead of browser rendering.

Does it work for commercial properties?

Yes. Set listingClass to "commercial" to search for offices, warehouses, stores, hotels, industrial spaces, and other commercial property types. Or set it to "all" to get both residential and commercial results.

What locations can I search?

Any location in Portugal that RE/MAX covers — districts, municipalities, towns, parishes, and neighborhoods. Both English and Portuguese names work — "Lisbon" or "Lisboa", "Oporto" or "Porto", "Algarve" for the whole Faro district. Accents are optional ("Setubal" = "Setúbal"). Popular tourist names like "Estoril", "Vilamoura", "Ericeira", "Comporta", and "Quarteira" also work.

Can I get property data in English?

Yes. Set descriptionLanguage to "EN" for English descriptions. Note that not all listings have English translations — the Actor falls back to Portuguese when the requested language isn't available.

How often is the data updated?

RE/MAX Portugal updates listings in real-time. Each Actor run fetches the latest data directly from the API, so you always get current prices and availability.

My search returns 0 results — what's wrong?

Check the spelling of your search term. The actor resolves location names via the RE/MAX API, so very small localities or misspelled names may not match. Try broader terms like district names ("Lisboa", "Porto", "Faro") or well-known towns.

Can I scrape all of Portugal at once?

There is no single "all Portugal" search term. Instead, run multiple searches by district (Lisboa, Porto, Faro, Braga, etc.) to cover the whole country. Each district search can return up to 5,000 results.
