Rightmove UK Property Scraper (Unofficial)

Scrape Rightmove UK property listings, locations, filters, and property details with normalized output for price monitoring, property research, market research, and real estate workflows.

This is an unofficial actor and is not affiliated with Rightmove.

Proxy behavior

This actor uses the shared Apify proxy contract used across the workspace. rightmove_uk is expected to work in direct mode first, with proxy fallback if the site starts blocking cloud runs. UK proxies are recommended for improved location accuracy.
