Rightmove Scraper

Rightmove Scraper is an Apify actor that extracts Rightmove property listings and full property records from a search location term or startUrls. Full property records cost $0.0004 each, or $0.40 per 1,000 properties, plus $0.005 per search.

The Rightmove Scraper runs 3 request flows, accepts 21 input fields, returns 51 top-level fields per full property record, and bills through 3 charge events. A 1,000-property search with full details costs $0.3978 all-in. Every price below is a per-event charge, with no subscription and no monthly minimum on paid plans.

What Does the Rightmove Scraper Extract?

The Rightmove Scraper extracts Rightmove data from 5 sources: properties to rent, properties for sale, new homes, student accommodation, and individual property pages. Location search, direct URLs, or both feed the same run.

Rightmove Source	How the Rightmove Scraper Targets It	What It Covers
Properties to rent	channel: rent, or /property-to-rent/find... URLs in startUrls	Rental listings, with lettings terms and deposit
Properties for sale	channel: sale, or /property-for-sale/find... URLs in startUrls	Sale listings, with tenure and living costs
New homes	channel: new, or /new-homes-for-sale/find... URLs in startUrls	New build listings for sale
Student accommodation	channel: student, or /student-accommodation/find... URLs in startUrls	Student lettings, including private halls
Individual properties	/properties/{id} URLs in startUrls	One full property record per URL, archived listings included

The Rightmove Scraper runs 3 request flows: a search with full details (the default), a summaries-only search (includeDetails: false), and a direct /properties/{id} lookup.

Commercial property (/commercial-property-to-let/...) is not one of the 5 sources. The Rightmove Scraper skips those URLs with a warning and charges nothing for them.

Which Identifiers Does the Rightmove Scraper Accept?

The Rightmove Scraper accepts 2 input identifiers: startUrls and search. Either one satisfies the run on its own, and one run accepts both at once.

• startUrls takes an array of Rightmove URLs, such as https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133723646/ or https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490. Each URL resolves to a property detail lookup or a search request depending on its path.
• search takes a location string, such as London, a town, a city, a postcode or a region. The Rightmove Scraper resolves it to a Rightmove location key, logs the region it matched, and runs the search on the selected channel.

The channel field narrows a search term to one of 4 values, rent, sale, new or student, and defaults to rent. A start URL carries its own channel in its path and ignores this field.

Who Uses the Rightmove Scraper?

Listed below are the 6 roles that run the Rightmove Scraper against UK property data.

• Property portals and aggregators keep a current view of listings across channel values and locations, reading addedOn, price and primaryPrice on every run.
• Estate agencies and letting agents track competitor stock in their postcodes, reading branch.brandName, branch.companyName and addedOn.
• PropTech and valuation teams assemble comparable-sales and comparable-rent datasets filtered by minPrice, maxPrice, minBeds, maxBeds and type, with maxItems capping the sample size.
• Investors and build-to-rent operators compare rents and sale prices by running channel: rent and channel: sale on the same search location.
• Mortgage, insurance and lending analysts collect tenure.tenureType, tenure.yearsRemainingOnLease, livingCosts.councilTaxBand, livingCosts.annualServiceCharge and livingCosts.annualGroundRent, the fields that bear on affordability and risk.
• Relocation and search agents run a search with minBeds, maxPrice and furnished matched to a client brief and read lettings.letAvailableDate, lettings.deposit and nearestStations.

Each role pays per search and per property, priced below.

What Does the Rightmove Scraper Cost?

The Rightmove Scraper charges 3 event types. List queries cost $0.005 per search, detail queries cost $0.0001 per property, and dataset items cost $0.0003 per item stored.

Event Type	Price	What Triggers It
list-query	$0.005 per search	One search, from a search term or a search start URL, including all of its pages. Charged only when the search returns results
detail-query	$0.0001 per property	Each property detail lookup, whether enriching a search result or serving a /properties/{id} start URL
dataset-item	$0.0003 per item stored	Each item saved to the dataset. On paid plans, items from the first page of each search (24 results) are free

The Rightmove Scraper charges direct-URL detail queries at the start of the run, charges a list query when its search's first page returns results, and charges enrichment detail queries as each lookup is sent.

Rightmove Scraper Cost Examples

The table below prices 7 scenarios against the rate card above, all on a paid plan unless stated.

Scenario	Charge Events	Calculation	Total Cost
1 search with full details, 24 properties	1 list query + 24 detail queries	$0.005 + ($0.0001 x 24)	$0.0074
1 search with full details, 100 properties	1 list query + 100 detail queries + 76 dataset items	$0.005 + $0.01 + $0.0228	$0.0378
1 search with full details, 1,000 properties	1 list query + 1,000 detail queries + 976 dataset items	$0.005 + $0.10 + $0.2928	$0.3978
1 search, summaries only, 100 properties	1 list query + 76 dataset items	$0.005 + $0.0228	$0.0278
1 search, summaries only, 24 properties	1 list query	$0.005 x 1	$0.0050
1 direct property URL	1 detail query + 1 dataset item	$0.0001 + $0.0003	$0.0004
Free plan, 1 search with full details, 10 properties	1 list query + 10 detail queries + 10 dataset items	$0.005 + $0.001 + $0.003	$0.0090

Rightmove Scraper Unit Economics

The 5 figures below are derived from the rate card above. The first 3 cover only the detail query and dataset item pair, not the per-search list query or the free first page.

Metric	Value
Cost per property, including its dataset item	$0.0004
Properties per $1	2,500
Cost per 1,000 properties	$0.40
Dataset-item value of one free first page	$0.0072 (24 x $0.0003)
Ratio between cheapest and most expensive charge event	A list query costs 50 times a detail query

Three principles control cost on a Rightmove Scraper run:

• Turn off details when summaries are enough. includeDetails: false drops a 100-property search from $0.0378 to $0.0278.
• Split one deep search into narrower ones. Each extra search costs $0.005 when it returns results, and returns a free first page worth $0.0072 in dataset items.
• Filter at the source. minPrice, minBeds and type exclude listings before a detail query is paid for them.

Free-plan users run the Rightmove Scraper without a subscription, capped at 5 runs per month and 10 items per run. This cap overrides any maxItems value, the first-page dataset-item discount does not apply, and the API is not available on the Free plan.

How Is the Rightmove Scraper Configured?

The Rightmove Scraper exposes 21 input fields covering targeting, channel selection, detail depth, volume limits, search filters, output customization and delivery to other services.

Field	Type	Description	Default
startUrls	array	Rightmove URLs to scrape: search pages or property detail pages. Filters in the URL are honoured.	not set
search	string	Location to search for: town, city, postcode or region.	not set
channel	string	Which listings to search: rent, sale, new or student.	rent
includeDetails	boolean	Look up the full detail of every search result. Set to false for cheaper listing summaries.	true
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of listing items to output. On paid plans the account's per-run limit also applies; on the Free plan every run stops at 10 items.	all items
endPage	integer	Last search page to fetch, applied to each search and each start URL individually.	no end page
sort	string	Sort order: newest, oldest, highest or lowest.	not set
minPrice	integer	Lowest price to include. Monthly for rentals. Minimum 0.	not set
maxPrice	integer	Highest price to include. Monthly for rentals. Minimum 0.	not set
minBeds	integer	Lowest number of bedrooms, 0 to 10. 0 selects studios.	not set
maxBeds	integer	Highest number of bedrooms, 0 to 10.	not set
maxDaysSinceAdded	string	Only listings added in the last "1", "3", "7" or "14" days.	not set
type	string	Property type: all, detached, semi_detached, terraced, flat, bungalow, land, park_home or student_halls. Valid values differ per channel.	not set
furnished	string	all, furnished, part_furnished or unfurnished. Applies to rent and student only.	not set
includeLetAgreed	boolean	Include properties already let agreed. Applies to rent and student only.	not set
includeSSTC	boolean	Include properties sold subject to contract. Applies to sale and new only.	not set
customMapFunction	string	A single function that takes each output item and returns the object to keep.	not set
outputConnector	string	MCP connector to deliver the results to — pick one (see How Do You Send Rightmove Scraper Results to Notion, Todoist and More?).	not set
deliverTarget	string	Where the connector writes — paste the URL or ID (Notion example: https://www.notion.so/My-Posts-24f8a1b2c3d44e5f8a9b0c1d2e3f4a5b); some services need none.	not set
deliverMode	string	perPost (one record per item) or summary (one roll-up per run).	perPost
deliverMaxItems	integer	Optional cap on how many records perPost delivers (ignored in summary).	not set

A filter set in the input acts as a default. The same filter written into a start URL wins, being the more specific instruction.

Which Input Rules Does the Rightmove Scraper Enforce?

The Rightmove Scraper enforces 15 usage constraints covering required fields, channel validity, filter scope, URL handling, output functions and volume caps.

Rule	Applies To	Behavior
At least one identifier is required	startUrls, search	The run fails immediately when both are empty
channel must be a known value	channel	The run fails immediately when set outside rent, sale, new, student
A property type is valid only for its channel	type	student accepts only all, flat, terraced and student_halls; student_halls is not valid for sale or new. An invalid value is dropped with a warning
furnished and includeLetAgreed apply to lettings channels only	furnished, includeLetAgreed	Ignored with a warning for sale and new
includeSSTC applies to sale channels only	includeSSTC	Ignored with a warning for rent and student
sort must be a known value	sort	An unknown value is dropped with a warning
Rightmove serves at most 42 pages per search	endPage, startUrls	Pagination stops at page 42 whatever endPage says; a start URL whose index offset points past page 42 is rejected with C012
A start URL must be an http or https Rightmove URL with a supported path	startUrls	Any other URL is skipped with a warning
maxDaysSinceAdded must be a window Rightmove offers	maxDaysSinceAdded, startUrls	Only 1, 3, 7 and 14 are accepted; any other value is dropped with a warning
A filter written into a start URL wins over the same input field	minPrice, maxPrice, minBeds, maxBeds, maxDaysSinceAdded, type, furnished, sort, includeSSTC, includeLetAgreed	The URL's own value is used; the input field is the fallback
radius in a start URL is not applied	startUrls	Ignored with a warning; the search covers the location itself
customMapFunction must be a plain synchronous function	customMapFunction	A function that fails to parse, is not a function, is async or a generator, uses new Date, Date.now or 1970, throws, or returns a non-object or a Promise is rejected with a warning, and the original items are saved
Unknown input keys are reported, not rejected	any field outside the 21 listed above	Logged as a warning; the legacy start_urls key is read as startUrls
The Free plan caps volume regardless of maxItems	maxItems	Capped at 10 items per run and 5 runs per month; the API is not available on this plan
The maximum cost per run must cover the start-of-run query charges	all identifiers	The run exits before any query when the direct-URL detail queries charged at start exceed the limit

What Changed When the Rightmove Scraper Replaced Its Legacy Scraping Method?

The Rightmove Scraper now calls the API directly instead of scraping rendered pages. startUrls, maxItems, endPage and customMapFunction are unchanged, and the 2 retired fields only log a warning.

Before	Now	What to Do
proxy	ignored	Delete it. The Rightmove Scraper does not scrape pages
extendOutputFunction	customMapFunction	Rewrite the body. It receives the finished item, not a Cheerio $ handle
Numeric fields returned unrelated values	now correct	See below
url was the URL you pasted	canonical https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/{id}	The pasted URL is now in inputSource

The previous version resolved numeric fields a second time, so beds, baths, livingCosts.annualServiceCharge, lettings.deposit and every other numeric detail field came back as unrelated values. Remove any workaround built around the old behavior.

The output is a superset of the previous one. The 15 newly available fields are channel, transactionType, incode, outcode, countryCode, displayPriceQualifier, sharedOwnership, ownershipPercentage, commercialUseClasses, sizes, tenure.yearsRemainingOnLease, lettings.minimumTermInMonths, branch.logo, branch.brandName and inputSource on every item.

How Do You Search Rightmove by Location With the Rightmove Scraper?

The Rightmove Scraper runs a location search in 5 steps: set search, pick channel, apply filters, set maxItems, and start the run. The example below searches Manchester rentals with 2 or more bedrooms at up to 2,000 GBP per month.

{
  "search": "Manchester",
  "channel": "rent",
  "minBeds": 2,
  "maxPrice": 2000,
  "maxItems": 50
}

How Do You Scrape a Rightmove Search URL With the Rightmove Scraper?

The Rightmove Scraper reads the filters encoded in a pasted search URL, such as locationIdentifier, minBedrooms, propertyTypes, maxDaysSinceAdded and index, so no separate input fields are needed.

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490&minBedrooms=2&propertyTypes=flat"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}

How Do You Scrape Individual Rightmove Properties With the Rightmove Scraper?

The Rightmove Scraper turns a list of /properties/{id} URLs into full property records, one detail query per URL, with no list query charged. Each record costs $0.0004 including its dataset item.

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/133723646/",
    "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/87624684/"
  ]
}

How Do You Get Cheaper Rightmove Listing Summaries With the Rightmove Scraper?

The Rightmove Scraper returns the lighter listing-summary shape when includeDetails is set to false, with no detail query charged per property. The example below fetches up to 5 pages of Leeds sale listings.

{
  "search": "Leeds",
  "channel": "sale",
  "includeDetails": false,
  "endPage": 5,
  "maxItems": 120
}

How Do You Send Rightmove Scraper Results to Notion, Todoist and More?

Skip the manual exports — the Rightmove Scraper can deliver its results directly into the tools you already work in, through Apify MCP Connectors:

1. Authorize a connector (Notion, Todoist, or any service whose MCP server offers non-destructive write tools) once in Console → Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors.
2. Pick it from the Send results to Notion, Todoist, … dropdown.
3. Fill in where and how to write:
   • Destination target — paste the URL or ID (Notion example: https://www.notion.so/My-Posts-24f8a1b2c3d44e5f8a9b0c1d2e3f4a5b); share it with your connector first via Notion's ••• → Connections menu. For structured columns use a page URL (the Actor builds the database for you) or a database that already has columns — an empty database only receives titles. (Some services need no target.)
   • Write mode — perPost writes one record per property; summary writes a single roll-up for the run.
   • Max records to deliver (optional) — cap on how many records perPost delivers.

Notion, structured like a spreadsheet: for a table of typed columns, point the target at a Notion page — the Actor auto-creates a database from the data, one matching, correctly-typed column per field (URL, number, date, text). Pointing at an existing database fills the columns it already has (matched by name); an empty database receives only the title, and the rest of each record goes to the row body — the connector can't add columns to an existing database without destructive access it never requests. Nested fields are flattened into columns too — a tenure object becomes tenure.tenureType, tenure.yearsRemainingOnLease, … and a list like features becomes a comma-joined column — so everything is sortable and filterable in the grid. Fields that don't fit a column go to the row's page body, so nothing is lost.

Your credentials stay yours: the Actor talks to your services exclusively through your own authorized connector and only ever uses non-destructive write tools — it cannot delete or overwrite anything you already have. Delivery is best-effort and runs after the scrape: if a connector is misconfigured or a delivery fails, your run still finishes normally with all results intact — the failure is reported in the run log, never by failing the run. If the run is about to hit its timeout, delivery stops early so the run still succeeds, and the log tells you how many records were delivered.

Which Fields Does the Rightmove Scraper Output?

The Rightmove Scraper outputs 51 top-level fields per property in the full detail record and 24 top-level fields per property in the listing summary, covering identification, location, pricing, tenure, living costs, lettings terms, media and branch data.

Four of the 51 detail fields are grouped objects with nested fields of their own: tenure (3 fields), livingCosts (8 fields), lettings (5 fields) and branch (11 fields), for 27 nested fields. Four further detail fields, summary, displaySize, numberOfImages and numberOfFloorplans, are carried over from the search result and are absent when the record comes from a /properties/{id} start URL. The listing summary carries a lighter tenure (1 field) and branch (6 fields).

Every item carries inputSource, the URL or search term it came from. The dataset's Overview tab shows 25 of the 51 detail fields as a table.

Which Errors Does the Rightmove Scraper Report?

The Rightmove Scraper reports 13 error codes. 10 of the 13 codes are non-terminal, logging the failure and letting the run continue on other sources. 3 codes terminate the run: C098, C099 and C100.

The 10 non-terminal codes split into 4 recovery behaviors:

• 3 codes (C001, C002, C008) skip only the current property.
• 5 codes (C003, C004, C005, C006, C012) stop only the current search or start URL.
• 1 code (C007) is informational: the source returned zero results.
• 1 code (C019) writes an error item to the dataset and retries the request after a 1 second delay.

Code	Trigger	Behavior
C001	The detail request for a property id fails	Skips that property; the run continues
C002	The detail request answers but carries no property	Skips that property; saves the search summary instead when one exists
C003	The search request for a start URL or search term fails	Stops that source's pagination
C004	The search response has no results array	Stops that source's pagination
C005	The location lookup for a search term fails	Stops that search
C006	No Rightmove location matches the search term	Stops that search
C007	A search's first page returns zero results	Logged; no items for that source
C008	No property exists for a given id	Skips that property; the detail query is still charged
C012	A requested page exceeds Rightmove's 42-page limit	Stops that source's pagination; earlier pages are kept
C019	The account's rate limit is exceeded	Writes an error item with code: "C019" to the dataset, waits 1 second, then retries
C098	An unhandled promise rejection occurs anywhere in the run	Terminates the run
C099	An uncaught exception occurs anywhere in the run	Terminates the run
C100	The run fails to initialize	Terminates the run before any query executes

Which Rightmove Scraper Questions Come Up Most Often?

Can the Rightmove Scraper run a location search and direct URLs in one job?

Yes. search and startUrls are accepted together in a single Rightmove Scraper run, and at least one of the two is required.

Why does the Rightmove Scraper return fewer results than Rightmove reports?

Rightmove serves at most 42 pages of 24 results, 1,008 listings, per search regardless of how many matches it reports. Covering a larger area takes 2 or more narrower searches, each capped at 1,008 listings.

Is there a free way to test the Rightmove Scraper?

Yes. The Free plan runs the Rightmove Scraper without a subscription, limited to 5 runs per month and 10 items per run, with no API access.

What happens when the Rightmove Scraper looks up a property that no longer exists?

The Rightmove Scraper logs C008 and writes no item, and the detail query is still charged. An archived listing still has a full record on Rightmove, so the Rightmove Scraper returns it complete.

Does the Rightmove Scraper support commercial property?

No. The Rightmove Scraper skips /commercial-property-to-let/ URLs with a warning and charges nothing for them.

Does a Rightmove Scraper sale search ever return something other than a full property?

Yes. Rightmove mixes commercial listings into some residential sale results, and the Rightmove Scraper saves those from the search data in the listing-summary shape, with no detail query charged.

When does the Rightmove Scraper charge for queries?

The Rightmove Scraper charges direct-URL detail queries at the start of the run, a list query when its search's first page returns results, and enrichment detail queries as each lookup is sent.

Where Do You Get Rightmove Scraper Support?

Rightmove Scraper support runs through epctex.com: the site lists the full product range, its chat box handles custom integrations, and the team is reachable at business@epctex.com.
