Harcourts Property Scraper — buy, rent, sold & leased

What does Harcourts Property Scraper do?

Harcourts Property Scraper extracts structured property listings from harcourts.net across Australia (au), New Zealand (nz) and Fiji (fj) — for sale, for rent, sold and leased. Every listing includes the address with GPS coordinates, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, car spaces, land size (normalised to m²), photo gallery, floorplan and video-tour links, open-home inspection times, auction dates and the listing agent's email and phone. It supports filtering by keyword, suburb or region (with optional surrounding suburbs), property type, price band, bedrooms, bathrooms, car spaces, land size and floor area, so you can run the same query consistently over time.

Key features

• 🌏 Three-market coverage — one actor covers all 3 Harcourts markets: au, nz, fj.
• 📅 Inspection & auction times — open-home slots and auction datetimes as structured fields, not free text.
• 📧 Agent contact details — optional per-listing agent email, phone and bio via the agent's profile page.

What data can you extract from harcourts.net?

Each result includes Core property fields (listingId, listingKey, title, subtitle, entityName, category, location, and priceText, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, and descriptionLength), and contact information (agentPhone, contactEmail, and contactPhone). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as full descriptions and contact information where the source provides them.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape harcourts.net?

Harcourts Property Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Per result: $0.0015 per property record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.02
• 25 results: $0.042
• 100 results: $0.15
• 200 results: $0.3
• 500 results: $0.76

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of properties that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 results per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Event-pricing examples scale linearly with result count.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.15	$0.01	$0.14 (92%)	$0.38
15% — moderate broad query	$0.15	$0.03	$0.13 (82%)	$0.82
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.15	$0.05	$0.11 (68%)	$1.50

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $4.65. First month with incremental costs $0.52 / $0.95 / $1.60 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
