LoopNet Scraper – Commercial Real Estate Listings Extractor

Extract commercial real estate listings from LoopNet — the largest CRE marketplace in the US — for deal sourcing, competitive analysis, broker intelligence, and market research. Paste any LoopNet search URL and get structured property data delivered to your Apify dataset in real time.

🎯 What This Scraper Does

This actor navigates LoopNet search results pages with a real Chrome browser, bypasses Akamai BotManager via residential proxies, and extracts structured CRE listing data. An optional ScrapFly API key (scrapflyApiKey) enables a second-tier bypass for pages that resist residential proxy alone. See SELECTORS.md for the CSS selector map and data/pricing-comparison.md for tier benchmarks.

Quick test: run apify run -i '{"searchUrls":["https://www.loopnet.com/search/office/dallas-tx/for-sale/"]}' or execute scripts/selftest.sh to validate a live run locally.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Go to loopnet.com and run any search
2. Copy the full URL from the address bar
3. Open this actor on Apify Store → Try for free

❓ FAQ

Will I get blocked? No — the scraper uses a real browser via residential proxies to clear LoopNet's bot protection. If a single block appears in the logs, the run retries automatically on a fresh session.

Can I get broker emails? Broker phone is extracted from public detail pages. Broker email is intentionally not collected — LoopNet hides it behind a click-to-reveal gate. Supply costarCookies from your own CoStar account to unlock gated financial fields (cap rate, NOI, tenant rosters).

How fresh is the data? All listings are fetched live from loopnet.com at run time. Run hourly, daily, or weekly for monitoring workflows.

Can I run multiple markets at once? Yes — pass multiple LoopNet search URLs in searchUrls[] and the scraper pages through each in sequence.

What if I want data from a custom filter? Any LoopNet search URL works — price range, size, submarket, auction-only, or any other filter you can apply on the website.
