InvestorLift Marketplace Scraper

Turn InvestorLift — a US wholesale / off-market deal marketplace — into structured rows you can use: CRM, cold outreach, market maps, comps, or internal deal flow. No manual copy-paste from the marketplace UI.

No login. No InvestorLift account. No API key.

---

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Wholesale buyer / investor	Fill a deal pipeline	Active mode, first 50–200 rows
Acquisitions / outbound SDR	Contact wholesalers	Active + Enrich with full details ON
Analyst / underwriter	Comps from sold inventory	Historical (sold + pending)
Operator with a watch list	Enrich URLs you already saved	Specific mode — paste deal URLs or IDs
Data / ops	Scheduled master table	Active + dates; raise run timeout for history

What you get by default: address, price, beds/baths, status, wholesaler company, and deal URL.

When to enable enrichment: turn Enrich with full details ON when you need seller name, rating, description, and condition for personalized outreach.

Why use this Actor?

You want to…	This helps you…
Fill a pipeline	Export hundreds or thousands of deals with location, price, and seller signals in one run.
Contact wholesalers	Optional enrichment: company, contact name, seller rating & review count, description, condition — so your team can personalize outreach.
See what already sold or went pending	Historical mode pulls sold and pending inventory for research and comp building.
Focus on fresh listings	Active mode + optional listed from / until dates to match your buy box timing.
Own a list of IDs	Specific mode: paste deal URLs or numeric IDs and enrich only those.
Survive long runs	Large historical crawls can resume after timeout or failure — already-saved deals are not duplicated.

Technical note: Scraping uses HTTP + parsing (no headless browser farm), so runs stay predictable on Apify. Default memory is 512 MB.

Ready-made examples (published tasks)

Pre-configured Actor tasks — one-click runs for common workflows. They appear under the Actor Examples tab.

Example	Best for
Export active InvestorLift wholesale deals	Current listings — deal sourcing
InvestorLift wholesaler contacts for outreach	Cold outreach — seller name & company
Export sold and pending InvestorLift deals	Comps / market research
Enrich InvestorLift deal URLs with seller data	Paste URLs or IDs
Export InvestorLift deals listed this month	Date-window active listings
InvestorLift active deals with seller details	Active + wholesaler enrichment
InvestorLift sold comps with seller details	Historical comps with seller
Export InvestorLift deals listed this week	Fresh weekly pipeline
Bulk enrich InvestorLift deal IDs for CRM	Several marketplace URLs
Larger InvestorLift active wholesale export	40-deal sourcing sample
InvestorLift historical inventory sample	Bigger sold/pending sample
Enrich numeric InvestorLift IDs with sellers	Numeric IDs, no full URLs

---

Modes

Mode	Best for	Typical runtime
Active	Current listings	Minutes
Historical	Sold + pending (bulk history)	Hours — raise run timeout if needed
Specific	Your own URL/ID list	Depends on list size
Active + date filter	“Listed in this window” only	Minutes

Use Listed from / until (YYYY-MM-DD) only with Active — they narrow listings by when they appeared on the marketplace.

---

Recommended input (first run)

1. Choose Mode (usually Active to start).
2. For full seller + description + ratings (best for outreach), pass "enrichWithDetails": true in the API input or your INPUT.json. The Console hides this field; the schema default is false, so set it explicitly when you need enrichment.
3. Start, then download the Dataset.

Output (what lands in your dataset)

Use case	Fields (high level)
Routing & geography	city, state_code, county, zip, latitude, longitude
Deal economics	price, bedrooms, bathrooms, sq_footage, lot_size, ARV / margin fields when present
Seller & trust	wholesaler_company, wholesaler_name, account_title, wholesaler_rating, wholesaler_review_count, account_id
Timing & traction	days_on_il, page_views, published_at, expires_at
Narrative	description, condition, property_type, img_url, property_page_url
Lineage	source: available, historical, or bulk

Troubleshooting

Issue	What to do
Timeout on Historical	Resurrect the run or relaunch; raise Timeout in run options (e.g. 8 h).
403 / blocked	Site may rate-limit or block datacenter IPs — retry later or reduce concurrency via detailConcurrency.
Thin or empty rows	For Active, check date format YYYY-MM-DD; retry if the API returned nothing transiently.
No description / wholesaler columns	Set enrichWithDetails": true in input (see above).

---

Resume / checkpoint

On failure, the Actor stores state so a Resurrect or rerun with the same input skips deals already present in the dataset (and associated ID tracking). For long Historical jobs: resurrect → optionally increase timeout → continue without duplicating rows.

---

API input (advanced)

All fields can be set via the Apify API. Console-visible fields are listed in the Actor input form; others are optional.

Parameter	Notes
scrapeMode	active_only · historical · specific
dealIds	For specific — URLs or numeric IDs
dateRangeStart / dateRangeEnd	Active only — filter by listed date
enrichWithDetails	true recommended for outreach-quality rows; false for faster, lighter runs
maxItems	Optional cap on how many deals to push (API / hidden)
excludeIds	Skip known IDs (API)
detailConcurrency	Parallel detail fetches (API; default 64, max 128)

Example:

{
  "scrapeMode": "historical",
  "enrichWithDetails": true
}

---

Local development

$apify run

Unit tests (no network): npm test · Integration (live site): npm run test:integration

How much does it cost to scrape InvestorLift?

HTTP-only (no browser). You pay per deal written to the dataset (pay-per-event). Compute is typically a few cents even on large runs.

Scenario	Approx. cost
5 deals (Console Try)	< $0.02
1,000 active listings	~$2–4 depending on plan tier
Historical sample (20 rows)	< $0.10

Raise Timeout in Run options for full historical exports. Default memory 512 MB is enough.

Is it legal to scrape InvestorLift?

This Actor only reads data InvestorLift shows on public listing pages and the public marketplace API. It does not log into a private InvestorLift account.

Deal rows can include business contact names. Ensure your use complies with GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and local marketing rules. See Apify's guide to web scraping legality.
