Land.com Scraper

Slug: fatihtahta/land-com-scraper

Overview

Land.com Scraper collects structured public data from land and rural property listings on Land.com, including listing identifiers, titles, descriptions, pricing, acreage, location details, broker information, media, and other property attributes. It can also be used for directory-style agent searches when you want seller, broker, or agent discovery instead of listing inventory. Land.com is a widely used marketplace for land, ranch, farm, recreational, and rural property listings, which makes it a valuable source for market visibility and property discovery. The actor turns that public information into consistent JSON records you can reuse across analysis, reporting, enrichment, and monitoring workflows. This helps teams automate repetitive collection work, reduce manual copy-paste, and keep datasets fresh with less effort.

Why Use This Actor

• Market research and analytics: Track listing volume, pricing, acreage, status changes, and regional inventory patterns for specific markets or property categories.
• Product and content teams: Identify listing themes, featured property types, and content trends to inform landing pages, editorial calendars, and marketplace strategy.
• Developers and data engineers: Feed structured listing data into ETL jobs, dashboards, internal catalogs, and downstream APIs without building a custom ingestion flow.
• Lead generation and enrichment: Find relevant listings, brokers, and market activity to support prospecting, qualification, and CRM enrichment workflows.
• Monitoring and competitive tracking: Watch targeted geographies, fresh listings, price reductions, and brokerage presence over time to spot changes quickly.

Input selection tips

• Use a broad location by itself when you want a wide market view, early-stage discovery, or a larger inventory sample for analysis.
• Add narrower filters such as property_type, listing_status, publication_date, keyword, or price and acreage ranges when you already know the segment you want to track.
• Leave maximize_coverage enabled when your goal is broader collection across a market. Turn it off only when you want a tighter, more direct result set for review or sampling.
• Start with a smaller limit for testing, QA, or schema validation. Increase the limit once your search settings are returning the right type of records.
• Use agents_search only when you want broker, agent, auctioneer, owner, or retailer directory results rather than property listings.

When to use agent scraping

Use agent scraping when your goal is to understand who is active in a market, not just which properties are listed there. It is useful for brokerage research, lead enrichment, territory mapping, partner discovery, and tracking which firms or agents have an active presence in a specific state, county, or city.

To run an agent-focused search, enable agents_search, set agents_location, and optionally narrow the results with agents_type. This mode is a good fit when you want contact and company details, market presence signals, or broker-level inventory context instead of individual listing records.

Example Inputs

Scenario: Broad location-based inventory search

{
  "location": "Montana",
  "property_type": ["ranch", "recreational"],
  "sale_type": ["sale"],
  "listing_status": ["available"],
  "sort_by": "newest",
  "limit": 250
}

Scenario: Fresh owner-financed listings with media

{
  "location": "Arizona",
  "keyword": "off grid",
  "owner_financing": true,
  "publication_date": "past_7_days",
  "have_media": ["video", "custom_map"],
  "geography": "desert",
  "limit": 150
}

Scenario: Agent directory search

{
  "agents_search": true,
  "agents_location": "Texas",
  "agents_type": "real_estate_broker",
  "maximize_coverage": true,
  "limit": 100
}

Common Workflows

• Monitor new ranch listings in Montana: Set location to Montana, choose property_type as ranch, use listing_status such as available, and sort by newest.
• Track recent price reductions in a target state: Use a state-level location with price_reduction_days and optional price or acreage filters to monitor listings with fresh pricing changes.
• Find owner-financed rural land: Combine location, owner_financing, and optional filters like geography, land_usage, or keyword to focus on alternative purchase opportunities.
• Search brokers in Texas: Enable agents_search, set agents_location to Texas, and optionally narrow with agents_type for broker or agent-specific discovery.
• Compare recreational versus hunting inventory: Run separate searches for the same location using property_type values such as recreational and hunting to compare supply and pricing patterns.
• Validate a search before scaling up: Start with your target filters and a smaller limit to confirm the dataset shape, then raise the limit for broader collection.

Output

6.1 Output destination

The actor writes results to an Apify dataset as JSON records. And the dataset is designed for direct consumption by analytics tools, ETL pipelines, and downstream APIs without post-processing.

6.2 Record envelope (all items)

Every record includes a stable record envelope:

• type (string, required): Record category. Current values: listing, agent.
• id (number, required): Stable Land.com identifier for the record.
• url (string, required): Canonical public URL for the record.

Recommended idempotency key: type + ":" + id

Use this key for deduplication and upserts when the same record appears in multiple runs, search inputs, or refresh cycles.

Data guarantees & handling

• Best-effort extraction: fields may vary by region, session, availability, and UI experiments.
• Optional fields: null-check in downstream code.
• Deduplication: recommend type + ":" + id.

Performance

Estimated run times:

• Small runs (< 1,000 outputs): ~2–3 minutes
• Medium runs (1,000–5,000 outputs): ~5–15 minutes
• Large runs (5,000+ outputs): ~15–30 minutes

Execution time varies based on filters, result volume, and how much information is returned per record.

FAQ

What is the difference between listing search and agent search?
Listing search returns property listing records based on location and listing filters. Agent search is used for directory-style discovery of brokers, agents, auctioneers, owners, or retailers in a selected area.

How should I choose limit?
Use a smaller limit when testing inputs or validating output shape. Use a larger limit when you are ready to collect a deeper dataset for analysis, monitoring, or export.

What happens if some optional fields are missing?
Some records may not include every optional field. Downstream systems should treat optional values as nullable and only rely on fields that are present.

How should I deduplicate records?
Use type + ":" + id as the recommended idempotency key for deduplication, upserts, and change tracking across recurring runs.

When should I use broader versus narrower filters?
Start broad when exploring a market or building a larger inventory view. Use narrower filters when you want more targeted results for a defined property type, pricing band, geography, or buying criteria.
