Redfin Scraper - Real Estate Listings, Prices & Property Data

Give it a Redfin search URL (a city, zipcode, neighborhood, or county) and get back clean, structured data: homes for sale, rentals, or recently sold, with prices, beds and baths, square footage, lot size, HOA, the full address and coordinates, MLS id, the listing text, and direct links to every photo. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

It calls Redfin's own search API directly instead of driving a headless browser, so it's quick and runs fine on cheap datacenter proxies. You don't need residential.

What it can scrape

Set listingType:

• for_sale — active and coming-soon listings (the default)
• rentals — rentals, with rent ranges, how many units are available, and the leasing contact
• sold — recently sold homes with the sale date and price; use soldWithinDays to pick the window

Drop one or more search URLs into startUrls. The URL only decides which area gets scraped. Any price/bed//filter/ parts in it are ignored, so set those through the inputs below instead.

Fields (for-sale)

price, beds, baths, sqft, price_per_sqft, lot_size, hoa, year_built, property_type, is_new_construction, street, unit, city, state, zip_code, latitude, longitude, days_on_market, mls_id, mls_status, description, key_facts, listing_tags, badges, open_house, photos_count, photo_urls, url (plus property_id / listing_id).

Rentals and sold return their own fields: rent ranges, available units and a contact for rentals; sale date, sold price and status for sold.

Input

Field	Description
startUrls	Redfin city / zipcode / neighborhood / county search URLs.
listingType	for_sale, rentals, or sold.
soldWithinDays	For sold: how far back to look (Redfin caps the export at ~350 per URL).
maxItems	Stop after this many results across all URLs (0 = no limit).
sort	recommended, price_low_high, or price_high_low.
propertyTypes	House / Condo / Townhouse / Multi-family / Land / Other.
proxyConfiguration	Apify Proxy — datacenter is enough.
impersonate	Browser TLS fingerprint (chrome by default).

Photos

Every listing comes with photo_urls: direct links to the full-size images on Redfin's CDN. They're built from the listing data itself, so there's no extra request per home and no residential proxy needed. photos_count tells you how many to expect.

A few things worth knowing

• Sold is capped at ~350 homes per URL. That's Redfin's own limit on the sold export, not the actor. For a busy area, scrape it by zipcode or use a shorter soldWithinDays.
• Nothing fails silently. If an area gets blocked or a request fails, you get a typed error row for it, so an empty result always means "nothing found" and never a hidden block.
• You're billed per valid result delivered, so error rows and duplicates don't cost you anything.

Roadmap

Per-home detail (price history, tax records, schools, the Redfin Estimate) sits behind heavier protection than the search API, so it needs a different approach. It's planned as an optional add-on rather than something bolted on half-working.

Notes

Only public, unauthenticated Redfin pages are scraped. The data comes from Redfin's public site, so follow Redfin's Terms and the laws that apply to you, and use it responsibly. Removal requests are honored.

Who built this

I build scrapers for my own projects and publish the ones that turn out genuinely useful. This is one of them. If you need a custom scraper, a data pipeline, or a change to this actor, I'm available for freelance work.
