In case, you want to quickly test through Apify dashboard, you can provide following 3 inputs to perform quick test.

Input example

1{
2    "onlyMatched" : false,
3    "openAiApiKey": "API Key from https://platform.openai.com/api-keys",
4    "anthropicApiKey": "API Key from https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys",
5    "propertyType": "End of Terrace",
6    "epc": "https://media.rightmove.co.uk/204k/203042/155790182/203042_1716851-1_EPC_00_0000.pdf",
7    "outcode": "M9",
8    "incode": "8GF",
9    "threads": 1
10}

onlyMatched - In case you want to output only propeties which are successfully matched with epc records and full address is found, turn this on.

openAiApiKey - Optional. If you provide open AI API key, it will use AI to match EPC score. This will significantly increase the number of match.

anthropicApiKey - Optional. If you provide Anthropic AI API key, it will use AI to match EPC score. This will significantly increase the number of match.

⬆️ Output

The scraped data is stored in the dataset of each run. The data can be viewed or downloaded in many popular formats, such as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, and HTML.

Output example

The result for scraping a single property like this:

1{
2  "epcMatched" : "accurate", /* It can be 'none' or 'approax' or 'accurate' */
3  "fullAddress": "4 Faringdon Road, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN1 5BJ",
4  "possibleAddresses": ["4 Faringdon Road, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN1 5BJ","6 Faringdon Road, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN1 5BJ"]
5  // + All existing rightmove scraper fields will be here 
6}

possibleAddresses - When using AI, sometimes match is not 'approx'. In such cases, you will have narrowed down list in this column which gives you possible addresses.

❓Limitations

This automation is cross matching rightmove listing with epc data. That means finding exact address of listed property depends on whether Rightmove has proper epc information available or not. This also depends on whether EPC database is cros matched successfully or not. So, there can be some properties for which epc match is not found and fullAddress would remain empty for such properties.

💰 How much will be the scraping cost?

This scraper scans rightmove epc for the match and cross check it will epc database. So it really varies from property to property whether match is found or not including whether you are using AI or not. However as a general rule of thumb 20k properties scan will cost you around 10 USD. Notably, this cost is within monthly credits you get when you are on $49 Starter Plan.
