Tips for best results

• 🎯 Start small — use maxResults: 10 for your first run to verify the data matches your needs
• 📍 Use specific locations — "Wandsworth, London" gives better results than just "London"
• 💷 Filter by price — use minPrice and maxPrice to narrow down results and reduce costs
• 📅 Schedule daily runs — track new listings and price changes automatically
• 🔄 Sort by Newest — the default sort ensures you always get the latest listings first
• 🏠 Use property type filters — searching for a specific type (flat, detached) is faster than "All"
• 📊 Combine with other scrapers — pair with Zoopla or OnTheMarket scrapers for comprehensive UK property data

FAQ

How fast is Rightmove Scraper? Very fast. It uses pure HTTP requests (no browser), so it can scrape 25 properties in about 5 seconds. A run of 100 properties typically completes in under 20 seconds.

How much does it cost to scrape 10,000 Rightmove listings? On the free plan: approximately $34.50 (10,000 x $0.00345) plus a $0.005 start fee. On the Scale plan: approximately $23.40.

Can I scrape specific postcodes? Yes. Enter any UK postcode (e.g., "SW1A 1AA", "M1 1AA") in the searchLocation field. The scraper will resolve it automatically and search that area.

Why are some results missing prices? Some Rightmove listings show "Price on Application" (POA) — the price field will be null for these. The displayPrice field will show the text as displayed on Rightmove.

Why do I get fewer results than expected? Rightmove limits search results to approximately 1,000 properties per query. For large areas, use more specific locations or apply filters (price range, bedrooms) to get targeted results.
