Economicos Scraper — Chile Real Estate & Vehicle Listings

Scrape Economicos.cl, the online classifieds of Chile's El Mercurio newspaper group, into clean JSON, CSV or Excel. One Actor covers both of the site's big marketplaces:

• Real estate (Propiedades) — about 138,000 ads for sale and rent: apartments, houses, land, rural plots, offices, retail, warehouses, parking and more, from brokers and private owners all over Chile.
• Vehicles (Vehículos) — about 21,000 ads: cars, pickups, SUVs, motorcycles, trucks, vans and heavy machinery from dealers and private sellers.

Each listing comes with its price as published (CLP, UF or USD) plus a normalized CLP value taken from the site's own conversion, so you can sort and compare UF and peso listings in one column. Filter by region, comuna, property type, operation, price, bedrooms, vehicle make and year, or paste any Economicos.cl search URL.

No browser, no login: plain HTTP requests, fast and cheap.

What you get

• Core property fields: operation (sale / rent), property type, price + currency, normalized CLP price, bedrooms, bathrooms, comuna, region, publication date, photo — straight from the results pages.
• Detail add-on (fetchDetails): built and total m², street or sector, full photo gallery, full description, exact publication time and the broker's business name.
• Broker data for lead generation: ads from El Mercurio's broker network carry the brokerage name and, for companies, its RUT (Chilean tax ID) — useful for B2B prospecting. Some broker ads also include GPS coordinates.
• Vehicle fields: make, model, year, mileage (km), fuel, transmission, condition (new/used), dealer name, comuna and region.
• Monitoring-ready: results always come newest first, IDs are stable, and a publishedWithin filter limits runs to the last week or month.

Pricing

Pay per event — you only pay for what lands in your dataset. Platform usage (compute and proxies) is included.

Event	When it is charged	Price
property-result	each real estate listing saved to the dataset	US$2.00 per 1,000
vehicle-result	each vehicle listing saved to the dataset	US$2.00 per 1,000
listing-details	each listing whose detail page was opened (fetchDetails on)	US$1.00 per 1,000
Actor start	once per run	US$0.00005

So 1,000 listings cost US$2.00, or US$3.00 with full details. If you set a maximum charge for a run, the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached and never hands out more items than your limit covers.

Use cases

• Price analytics by comuna: median CLP price per m² for apartments in each comuna, rent vs. sale, UF vs. CLP listings in one column.
• Lead generation for brokers and services: list the brokerages active in a comuna (name + company RUT), or spot owner-published ads (publisherType: "private") — without any personal contact data.
• Daily monitoring: schedule a run with publishedWithin: "7d" and diff on id to catch new listings and price changes.
• Used-car market data: prices by make, model, year and mileage across Chilean regions, dealer vs. private.
• Feeds for portals, CRMs and dashboards through the Apify API, webhooks, Google Sheets, Make or Zapier.

FAQ

Is there an official Economicos.cl API? No public one. This Actor reads the public result and listing pages over HTTP and turns them into a fixed schema.

What does "normalized price" mean? Chilean properties are listed in UF (an inflation-indexed unit), CLP or USD. Economicos.cl computes a CLP value for each ad; the Actor stores it in priceNormalized, so you can sort or average everything in pesos. price and currency keep the original.

Why are some fields empty without the detail add-on? The results page shows title, price, location, date and one photo. Surface, the full gallery, description, address and vehicle specs live on each ad's own page — that's the fetchDetails add-on. Broker ads already expose bedrooms, bathrooms and the broker name on the results page.

Can I change the order? Economicos.cl always lists newest first, so every run starts with the latest ads. Use publishedWithin to limit the time window.

How many results can I get? There is no hard cap: the site paginates through all ~138,000 property ads and ~21,000 vehicle ads (40 per page). Use maxItems to control the size of a run.

Do you collect personal data? No. Names of private sellers, phone numbers and e-mails are never stored, and phone numbers and e-mails pasted into titles or descriptions are replaced with [phone removed] / [email removed]. Only business publishers (brokerages and car dealers) are named, and a RUT is only kept when it belongs to a company.

Do I need a proxy? No. The Actor detects when the site refuses a request and routes through Chilean residential proxies automatically, at no extra cost to you.

En español

Economicos Scraper extrae avisos de Economicos.cl (clasificados de El Mercurio): propiedades en venta y arriendo (departamentos, casas, terrenos, parcelas, oficinas, locales, bodegas, estacionamientos) y vehículos (autos, camionetas, motos, camiones). Cada aviso trae precio en CLP, UF o USD tal como se publicó y además el precio normalizado en pesos, dormitorios, baños, comuna, región, fecha de publicación y foto; con el complemento de detalle suma m² construidos y de terreno, dirección o sector, galería completa, descripción y el nombre de la corredora o automotora. Filtra por región, comuna, tipo de propiedad, operación, rango de precio, dormitorios, marca y año.

Precio: US$2 por 1.000 avisos (propiedades o vehículos) + US$1 por 1.000 fichas de detalle. No se guardan nombres, teléfonos ni correos de particulares (Ley 21.719): solo se identifican empresas.

Technical details

• Source: the server-rendered HTML of economicos.cl — 40 ads per results page, newest first, deep pagination supported.
• Comuna names are resolved against the region's own list on the site; a comuna the site doesn't know fails the run with the list of valid names (the site would otherwise silently ignore it and return the whole region).
• Detail pages are fetched 8 at a time; a failed detail page never drops the listing (the results-page data is kept and the error is noted in SUMMARY).
• Transient errors are retried with exponential backoff; if the site blocks, the Actor switches to Chilean residential proxies, and if that fails too, the run fails with a clear message instead of returning an empty dataset.
