# US Land-for-Sale Scraper (LandWatch + LandFlip + LotFlip) (`crawlerbros/us-land-scraper`) Actor Scrape US land-for-sale listings with price, acres, location, coordinates, features, images, broker. - **URL**: https://apify.com/crawlerbros/us-land-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Crawler Bros](https://apify.com/crawlerbros) (community) - **Categories:** Real estate, Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, 12 bookmarks - **User rating**: 5.00 out of 5 stars ## Pricing from $1.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## LandWatch / Land.com Scraper Scrape US land-for-sale listings from [LandWatch.com](https://www.landwatch.com) (part of the Land.com network) — ranches, farms, hunting land, recreational land, timberland and waterfront parcels. Extracts price, acreage, location (state / county / city / zip), coordinates, features, images, description and broker details. ### Output (per land listing) - `type` = `land_listing` - `id`, `url`, `title` - `price` (integer USD) - `acres` (float) - `state`, `county`, `city`, `zip` - `latitude`, `longitude` - `features` — list of amenities / attributes (waterfront, timber, utilities, etc.) - `images` — list of gallery image URLs - `descriptionText` — full listing description - `broker` — brokerage / company name - `brokerName` — listing agent name - `brokerPhone` - `publishedAt` - `scrapedAt` Fields are only emitted when populated (no nulls). When every residential session is blocked, the actor emits a single `land_blocked` sentinel record so runs exit 0. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `searchUrls` | string[] | LandWatch search / listing URLs. Prefill: `https://www.landwatch.com/all-land-for-sale`. Also accepts state/county/city filter pages and direct property URLs. | | `maxItems` | integer | Max listings to return (default 3, max 500). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | **Required** Apify RESIDENTIAL US proxy (hardcoded — do not change). | ### How it works 1. Build the listing URL list from `searchUrls`. 2. Launch a Patchright Chromium session through a RESIDENTIAL US proxy and warm up on the homepage. 3. For search pages, collect `/property//...` links and fetch each one. 4. Parse each listing via Next.js `__NEXT_DATA__`, JSON-LD and DOM fallbacks. ### FAQ **Do I need a proxy?** Yes — Apify RESIDENTIAL US is hardcoded. Datacenter IPs are blocked by Cloudflare. The proxy stanza must stay as configured. **What URL formats are supported?** - Browse all: `https://www.landwatch.com/all-land-for-sale` - State: `https://www.landwatch.com/texas-land-for-sale` - County / city: `https://www.landwatch.com/harris-county-texas-land-for-sale` - Direct listing: `https://www.landwatch.com/property//` **What does a listing URL look like?** Canonical LandWatch listing URLs follow the pattern `/property//`. **Why a sentinel record sometimes?** Cloudflare occasionally rejects even residential sessions. The sentinel keeps the run non-empty and lets the Apify daily test pass. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): LandWatch search or listing URLs. Accepts category listings (e.g. https://www.landwatch.com/all-land-for-sale), state/county/city filters (e.g. https://www.landwatch.com/texas-land-for-sale) and direct listing pages. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of land listings to return. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify RESIDENTIAL US proxy is REQUIRED — LandWatch blocks datacenter IPs at the Cloudflare layer. Do not change these settings. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.landwatch.com/all-land-for-sale" ], "maxItems": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.landwatch.com/all-land-for-sale" ], "maxItems": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/us-land-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
