Rightmove UK Property Scraper

Scrape UK property listings from Rightmove — the UK's largest property portal — including price (GBP), bedrooms, bathrooms, full address, agent, listing URL, photo, and posting date.

Why Rightmove data matters

Rightmove lists the overwhelming majority of UK residential property on the market at any given time. Structured listing data powers:

• Investment & buy-to-let analysis — track asking prices, yield estimates, and time-on-market by postcode
• Market research & pricing intelligence — compare price-per-bedroom across cities, boroughs, and postcodes
• PropTech & comparison tools — feed listings into price-prediction models, alerts, and aggregators
• Estate agents & lettings agencies — competitive monitoring of stock, agent activity, and pricing
• Relocation services & journalism — surface housing-market trends with verifiable, current evidence

Pulling this data manually is a non-starter — a single search-result page lists 24 properties and a major city like London easily yields tens of thousands.

What this actor does

You give it a UK location string (city, town, area, or postcode prefix). The actor resolves it to Rightmove's internal location identifier, paginates through the search results, and returns a clean JSON record per property.

It handles the awkward bits — location lookup, pagination, retries, residential UK proxies — so you only think about the data.

Notes & fair use

• Respect Rightmove's terms of service. This actor is intended for research, analysis, and product use — not for republishing the full dataset.
• Listings change throughout the day; re-run for fresh data.
