## Pricing

from $0.70 / 1,000 property listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Fotocasa Scraper — Spain Sale & Rent Listings

> **Disclaimer:** Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Fotocasa or its affiliates. Data is read from publicly accessible search result pages only. No login. You are responsible for complying with applicable law (including GDPR where a phone number or agency name appears) and the site’s terms. No warranty on accuracy or availability. Provided for informational and research use.

**Fotocasa scraper** for Spanish property **for sale or for rent**: homes, offices, commercial premises, garages, land, storage, and buildings. Each row has price, m², €/m², rooms, bathrooms, address, agency, and the public phone when the search card already shows one. Use it as a **Fotocasa API alternative** from **Python**, **Node.js**, **cURL**, or **Apify MCP**, and export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

**Best for:** Spain real estate comps, agency coverage in one city, and a filtered results URL you already built in the browser.

| :--- | :--- |
| Fotocasa Scraper ◄── you are here | Spain sale and rent |
| [Rightmove Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/rightmove-scraper) | UK sale and rent |
| [SeLoger Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/seloger-scraper) | France sale and rent |
| [ImmobilienScout24 Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/immobilienscout24-scraper) | Germany rent and buy |

### When to use this Actor

- **Search URL in, rows out** — Paste a filtered results page (city, district, price, property type). Query filters stay on every page.
- **City slug** — Leave Start URLs empty and set sale or rent, a property type, and a location slug such as `madrid-capital`.
- **Comps** — Price, m², and €/m² on every saved card.
- **Publisher and phone** — Agency name and the phone printed on the card. The phone stays empty when the card has none. There is no extra contact request and no login.

### When not to use this Actor

- **A single listing URL** — This Actor reads search result pages, not a detail URL ending in `/d`.
- **A full-country dump in one run** — Cap `maxItems`. Split by city or price band.
- **Hidden contacts** — If the card does not show a phone, the field is empty.

### Key features

- **Search HTML** — One HTTP call per results page (about 30 listings). No browser. Default **256 MB**.
- **Sale and rent** — Homes, offices, commercial premises, garages, land, storage rooms, and buildings.
- **Structured fields** — Price, rent period, surface, €/m², rooms, bathrooms, floor, coordinates, postal code.
- **Phone on the card** — Saved only when the results card already includes it.
- **Proxy off by default** — Enable Apify Proxy only if a run is blocked. Try datacenter before residential.

### Input

| :--- | :--- |
| **Start URLs** | Fotocasa search pages. When set, the builder fields are ignored. |
| **Sale or rent** / **Property type** / **Location slug** | Builder used when Start URLs is empty. The slug is the path segment, for example `madrid-capital`. |
| **Min / max price** | Euros. Applied only by the city builder. |
| **Maximum listings** | Cap on dataset rows. Default 30. Maximum 1000. |
| **Proxy** | Off unless you enable it. |

```json

  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 30,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}
```

- **Agency coverage** — Who is listing in a neighborhood, with the phone printed on the card.
- **Offices and commercial** — Switch property type, or paste the commercial results URL.
- **Dataset export** — One JSON row per listing, then CSV or Excel from the same dataset, or a pull with the Python and Node.js clients below.
- **Cross-border book** — Spain from this Actor, then France, Germany, or the UK from the suite.

### Integration examples

Replace `YOUR_TOKEN` with an Apify API token. The Actor id is `crawloop/fotocasa-scraper`.

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "YOUR_TOKEN" });
const run = await client.actor("crawloop/fotocasa-scraper").call({
  startUrls: [
    { url: "https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l" },
  ],
  maxItems: 30,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("crawloop/fotocasa-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [
        {"url": "https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l"}
    ],
    "maxItems": 30,
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)
```

### FAQ

**Can I paste a results URL with filters?**\
Yes. Price, rooms, and district filters in the URL are kept while the Actor turns the pages.

**What is a location slug?**\
The city piece of a results path, such as `madrid-capital` or `valencia-provincia`. Copy it from a results URL. A bare city name is not looked up.

**Does a quiet search still finish?**\
A location with no listings saves zero rows and the run succeeds. A blocked session fails with a proxy hint instead of pretending the city is empty.

**Is the phone always filled?**\
Only when that number is already on the search card. Rent cards often omit it.

**How do I scrape Fotocasa with Python or Node.js?**\
Call `crawloop/fotocasa-scraper` with the clients in the integration section. The same input works from an AI assistant through Apify MCP. The dataset is one listing per row.

**Sale or rent?**\
A results URL with `/comprar/` is a sale. `/alquiler/` is a rent. If you skip the URL, set `transaction` to `sale` or `rent` and pass a location slug such as `madrid-capital`, `barcelona-capital`, or `valencia-capital`.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
