🏡 OnTheMarket Scraper — UK Property Listings (For Sale & To Rent)

Extract UK property listings from OnTheMarket.com, one of Britain's three big property portals, as clean, structured data — price, bedrooms, property type, full address, listing agent, geo-coordinates and key features — for both for sale and to rent. It reads OnTheMarket's own embedded data, so you get typed fields instead of brittle HTML scraps, and a great complement to Rightmove/Zoopla coverage for UK real-estate analysis, lead generation and proptech. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🏡 What is the OnTheMarket Scraper?

It turns any OnTheMarket search into a structured dataset. Enter a location (and optional filters for sale/rent, price or bedrooms), or paste exact search URLs for precise control, and it returns every matching listing with full details, agent contact and latitude/longitude. Because it parses OnTheMarket's embedded structured data and paginates automatically, the output is clean and consistent — ready for mapping, dashboards or a property product.

What data does it extract?

• Price as text (£435,000) and as a numeric price_value for filtering and maths
• Price qualifier (e.g. "Guide price", "Offers over")
• Bedrooms, bathrooms and property type (apartment, terraced, detached, …)
• Full address and the listing's latitude/longitude for mapping
• Listing agent name and phone number for lead lists
• Key features (balcony, parking, station distance, …) as a list
• For-sale vs to-rent flag and how recently it was added
• Cover image and the listing URL, plus a scraped_at timestamp

⬇️ Input

Run it two ways — search a location with filters, or paste exact OnTheMarket URLs:

Field	Description
listingType	for-sale or to-rent
location	OnTheMarket location slug, e.g. london, manchester, bristol, leeds
startUrls	Paste exact onthemarket.com search URLs (overrides the fields above; most precise)
minPrice / maxPrice	Price range in £
minBedrooms	Minimum number of bedrooms
maxResults	Max listings to return (1–10000)
proxyConfiguration	Apify Proxy (default); switch to RESIDENTIAL GB if you hit blocks

Example input

  "listingType": "for-sale",
  "location": "manchester",
  "minPrice": 200000,
  "maxPrice": 500000,
  "minBedrooms": 2,

❓ FAQ

How do I scrape OnTheMarket listings? Enter a location slug, choose for-sale or to-rent, add optional price/bedroom filters, and Run. You get structured listings with price, beds, type, address, agent, geo-coordinates and features.

Do I need an API key or login? No — it reads publicly available listing data. Just give it a location (or a search URL) and your filters.

How do I find a location slug? Search on onthemarket.com and copy the part after /property/ in the URL (e.g. .../for-sale/property/london/ → london). For any filter the site supports, paste the whole search URL into startUrls.

Can I scrape both for sale and to rent? Yes — set listingType. If you paste startUrls, the Actor detects sale vs rent from each URL automatically.

Do the listings include geo-coordinates? Yes — every listing carries latitude and longitude, so you can map results or run spatial analysis out of the box.

Do I need a proxy? Apify Proxy (the default) works for most runs. For very large runs or if you hit blocks, switch the proxy to RESIDENTIAL with country GB.

How many listings can it return? Up to your maxResults cap (up to 10,000); it paginates through the search results automatically.

Can I run it on a schedule or via API? Yes — schedule recurring runs in Apify, call it via the API/SDK, or connect it to Make, Zapier or n8n.

Is scraping OnTheMarket legal? It extracts publicly available listing data. Use it responsibly for research and lead generation, and follow applicable laws and OnTheMarket's terms.
