Idealista Scraper — Spain, Portugal & Italy Real Estate

What does Idealista Scraper do?

Idealista Scraper extracts structured property data from idealista.com — including full descriptions and location data. It supports location filters and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time.

Key features

• Incremental mode — recurring runs emit and charge only for listings that are new or whose tracked content changed. First run builds the baseline state; subsequent runs emit only new or changed records.
• Compact mode — AI-agent and MCP-friendly payloads with core fields only.

What data can you extract from idealista.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (listingId, adId, url, title, operation, propertyType, priceText, and price, and more) and detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description and descriptionLength). 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.

Input

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

Key parameters:

• location — Location slug (e.g. "madrid-madrid", "barcelona", "lisboa", "roma"). Use JSON array for multiple locations.
• locationId — Idealista internal location ID (e.g. "0-EU-ES-28-07-001-079" for Madrid). Overrides location slug if provided.
• country — Idealista market to search. (default: "ES")
• operation — Sale or rental listings. (default: "sale")
• propertyType — Type of property to search. (default: "homes")
• maxResults — Maximum listings to return (0 = unlimited). (default: 50)
• maxPages — Maximum result pages per location (50 listings per page). (default: 5)
• minPrice — Minimum listing price filter.
• maxPrice — Maximum listing price filter.
• minRooms — Minimum number of bedrooms.
• minSizeM2 — Minimum floor area in square metres.
• maxSizeM2 — Maximum floor area in square metres.
• ...and 8 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Default run with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "location": "madrid-madrid",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit jobs that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "idealista-tracker"

  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured property records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental: true, 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.

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of listings 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: 200 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	$0.18	$0.01	$0.17 (92%)	$0.42
15% — moderate broad query	$0.18	$0.03	$0.15 (83%)	$0.96
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.18	$0.06	$0.13 (68%)	$1.77

Full re-scrape monthly cost at daily polling: $5.55. First month with incremental costs $0.59 / $1.11 / $1.90 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.
