MagicBricks & 99acres Property Data Scraper - Search URLs, Amenities & Prices

Scrape public Indian real-estate listings from MagicBricks and 99acres, with prices, price per square foot, BHK, area, locality, furnishing, amenities, seller category, property details, images, and listing URLs. Paste full portal search URLs to preserve website filters and paginate them automatically, or configure a simple source/city search. Export clean data to JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or pull it via the Apify API. No source-site login or API key is required.

Built with Node.js 20, TypeScript, and the Apify SDK using native fetch over Apify residential proxies, with retries and resilient extraction so runs are reliable and repeatable. The actor reads each portal's structured listing data (JSON-LD and embedded page state) instead of fragile DOM scraping.

Quick Start

The input form is ready to run without editing: it collects one Mumbai property-for-sale listing from MagicBricks through the recommended Residential India proxy. Click Start, inspect the clean dataset record, and then increase the result limit or change the portal, city, transaction type, or filters.

If you already filtered a search on MagicBricks or 99acres, paste the complete results-page URL in Exact portal search. That keeps the portal's locality, BHK, property type, furnishing, budget, and posted-by filters.

What It Extracts

• Property title, source (MagicBricks or 99acres), and transaction type (sale or rent)
• City queried, locality, project name, and address text when published
• Price display text and parsed INR price
• Normalized price per square foot when the listing publishes a usable price and area
• BHK, property type, area and area unit, and area type (carpet / built-up / super built-up)
• Bedrooms, bathrooms, balconies, furnishing, status, and floor when available
• Public seller category (owner, agent, or builder), verification/featured markers, and posting date when published
• Property age, facing, ownership, parking, RERA ID, maintenance, and detected amenities
• Latitude and longitude when published by the source
• Primary image, published card image URLs, image count, listing URL, and short description
• Search-page URL, page number, and result position for traceability
• MagicBricks and 99acres records merged into one deduplicated dataset

This independent Actor does not extract phone numbers, emails, private contact details, accounts, messages, saved properties, or private dashboard data. If sensitive text appears in a public page description, it is redacted before saving.

Use Cases

1. Real-estate market research for brokers, agencies, and proptech teams
2. Property price monitoring and trend tracking by city and locality
3. Competitor inventory tracking across major Indian portals
4. Rental market research and housing supply analysis
5. Listing-price and location analytics across cities

Pricing

Property records are charged only when delivered to the dataset. The apify-actor-start event is charged according to Actor memory, with at least one startup event.

This Actor uses Apify Pay Per Event pricing. Failed, blocked, or empty pages do not create property-scraped charges, but the startup event and platform resource consumption can still apply. A valid search with no matching listings finishes successfully with an empty dataset; the run fails only when every requested property page fails after retries or output billing fails.

Event name	Price per event	1,000 results	10,000 results
apify-actor-start	$0.00005 / GB	-	-
property-scraped	$0.003	$3.00	$30.00

Cost-control tips:

• Run the prefilled MagicBricks + Mumbai sample with maxResults: 1.
• Leave price filters empty for the first run; unknown-price listings are excluded when filters are active.
• Set a maximum cost per run in Apify Console. The Actor stops requesting additional pages when Apify reports that limit.
• Use both only after checking a one-source result.

API Example

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('fascinating_lentil/magicbricks-99acres-property-scraper').call({
  source: 'magicbricks',
  transactionType: 'sale',
  cities: ['Mumbai'],
  maxResults: 1,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} properties`);

How It Works

1. Validates full search URLs, or resolves the selected sources and cities.
2. Fetches the supplied search URL without rewriting its filters, then follows bounded result pages toward maxResults; or builds simple portal search URLs.
3. Extracts structured listing data (JSON-LD and embedded page state), then cleans and normalizes fields.
4. Deduplicates by property ID / URL and applies optional price filters.
5. Writes each clean record to the Apify Dataset together with the property-scraped charge event.

Known Limits

• Many detail fields are conditional: geo coordinates, seller category, RERA ID, floor, balconies, parking, and deposit are only saved when the source publishes them. MagicBricks rarely exposes coordinates, so those may be null.
• Price filtering skips listings with an unknown price, since they cannot be compared.
• MagicBricks and 99acres can reject datacenter traffic. The default input uses Apify Residential proxy with India targeting for reliability.
• Listing availability and prices can change after scraping; verify important decisions against the source page.
• Pagination is bounded to 20 pages per search. Highly repetitive pages can yield fewer unique records than maxResults.
