FAQ

Which locations are supported? Any UK city, town, or region that Rightmove recognises by name. Examples: London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast, Oxford, Cambridge, Yorkshire.

How many properties can I scrape? Rightmove paginates results in groups of 24. The actor will paginate through all pages up to your maxItems limit.

Does this scrape new-build developments? Yes — use the newHomesOnly flag to restrict to new builds, or leave it off to include all properties.
