Plusvalia Ecuador Scraper - $0.003/Listing, No Login

Why use this scraper

Plusvalia.com is Ecuador's leading real estate portal, part of the Navent network that also runs Properati and similar sites across Latin America. Anyone researching the Ecuadorian property market, building a price comparison tool, or sourcing leads for an agency needs its listings in structured form, not copied by hand from search pages. Plusvalia has no public API, so getting that data at scale means scraping the site and keeping the scraper working as it changes. This actor does that for you: give it one or more Plusvalia search-result URLs and get back every listing as clean JSON with price, location, size and the agency behind it, at a fraction of what the other scrapers covering this market charge per listing.

Overview

Input is one or more Plusvalia.com search-result URLs, the same pages you get by filtering on the site in your browser. Output is one JSON item per listing found across those URLs, up to the maxItems cap you set. A single search URL with the default cap of 100 listings typically finishes in a couple of minutes. You are billed per listing returned, not per page crawled, so a narrow search that returns 20 listings costs a fraction of a full category pull.

Supported inputs

• startUrls (required array) - one or more Plusvalia.com search-result pages, built with the site's own filters (city, neighborhood, property type, sale or rent). Build the search in your browser, copy the URL, and paste it in.
• maxItems - caps the total number of listings returned across all startUrls combined (default 100, up to 2000).

Use cases

• Market research: pull current asking prices for a city or neighborhood to understand where the Ecuadorian market sits today.
• Price analysis by area: compare price per square meter across neighborhoods by running one search URL per area.
• Lead generation: collect agency and publisher names from active listings in a target area for outreach.
• Price-tracking pipelines: re-run the same search URL on a schedule and diff listings over time to catch new inventory or price drops.
• Development and project monitoring: track pre-sale and new horizontal-development listings (condos, planned communities) by property type.
• Investor due diligence: pull every active listing from a developer or agency (by searching their name or project name) before negotiating.
• Rental yield estimates: combine a sale-listing run and a rental-listing run for the same neighborhood to estimate gross rental yield from current asking prices.

How it works

The actor opens each search-result URL you provide and reads the listing data straight from Plusvalia's own structured page data, the same record format the site itself uses to render the page, rather than scraping visible text. That keeps fields like price, area and address reliable even when the page's visual layout changes. It paginates automatically through the search results for each start URL until it reaches maxItems or runs out of listings, moving to the next startUrls entry once one search is exhausted.

Input configuration

Single search URL, default cap:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.plusvalia.com/casas-en-venta.html"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Rental listings:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.plusvalia.com/departamentos-en-alquiler.html"],
  "maxItems": 50
}

Multiple searches in one run (e.g. houses and apartments for sale):

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.plusvalia.com/casas-en-venta.html",
    "https://www.plusvalia.com/departamentos-en-venta.html"
  ],
  "maxItems": 200
}

What makes this richer than the competition

scrapers_lat/plusvalia-scraper is the other actor on the Apify Store that scrapes Plusvalia.com directly (2 users in the last 30 days); the same publisher's scrapers_lat/properati-scraper (6) covers Properati, a sibling Navent-network site also active in Ecuador. Both charge a tiered per-result price starting at $0.008 on the free plan. This actor charges a flat $0.003 per listing regardless of plan, under half their starting price, with no tiers to track: what you see in the pricing table above is what you pay, on the free plan or any other.

Notes & limitations

• bedrooms is currently not populated by this actor even when the listing title mentions a bedroom count (e.g. "3 Dorm."); use title and areaBuilt as a proxy for unit size until this is fixed.
• areaLot is only populated for houses and land listings with a disclosed lot size; apartment listings typically only have areaBuilt.
• New-development listings (propertyType: "Desarrollos horizontales") often have areaBuilt, areaLot and bathrooms as null, since pre-sale projects are commonly listed without per-unit specs.
• Only data visible on Plusvalia's own listing pages is returned; this actor does not contact agencies or verify listing accuracy.
• Listings are returned in the order Plusvalia's own search results list them for your URL; the actor does not re-rank or deduplicate across different startUrls that happen to overlap.
• Ecuador's main property markets (Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca) are well covered on Plusvalia; smaller towns may have few or no active listings for a given search, which is a market gap, not a scraping failure.

FAQ

Can I scrape a specific city or neighborhood only? Yes, build that filter into the search URL on Plusvalia.com itself (city, neighborhood, property type, sale or rent) and pass that URL in startUrls.

Why is bedrooms null even when the title says "3 Dorm"? That field is not reliably parsed by this actor yet. Treat the listing title and areaBuilt as the best current signal for unit size.

Can I combine sale and rental searches in one run? Yes, startUrls accepts multiple URLs of different operation types in the same call; operationType in each item tells you which is which.

Does maxItems apply per URL or across all of them? Across all startUrls combined. Split your searches into separate runs if you need a guaranteed minimum per URL.

Is the price always in US dollars? Ecuador's economy uses the US dollar, so currency is USD for essentially every Plusvalia listing.

Can I tell new developments apart from individual resale listings? Yes, propertyType returns "Desarrollos horizontales" for pre-sale and planned-community projects, versus "Casas", "Departamentos" and similar categories for individual listings.

How fresh are the listings? Each run reads Plusvalia's live search results at the moment it runs, so results reflect whatever is active on the site right then, not a cached snapshot.

Does it work for commercial or land listings too? Yes, any Plusvalia search URL works as a start URL, including commercial property and land (terrenos) categories; propertyType reflects whatever category that search covers.
