Nigeria Property Centre Scraper — Nigerian Real Estate Listings

Nigeria Property Centre Scraper collects public Nigerian property listings for sale, rent, short-let, and joint-venture opportunities. Search by city, state, or neighborhood, then download structured property data for market research, valuation, investment analysis, alerts, and lead generation.

🤖 What does this actor do?

This actor turns Nigeria Property Centre searches into a clean, reusable dataset. Each result can include the listing title, asking price, location, property features, photos, advertiser, contact phones, and public listing link.

Use the dataset to compare neighborhoods, monitor available inventory, discover agents and developments, or feed a property research workflow. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel files, and can also be consumed through the Apify API or an MCP-powered workflow.

💡 Why use it?

• Search four common property purposes from one friendly input: buy, rent, short-let, or joint venture.
• Narrow results by location, property type, subtype, price, bedrooms, furnishing, amenities, age, reference, sort order, and keywords.
• Keep useful media and contact information together with each listing.
• Optionally collect richer information from each public property page when a listing-level review is needed.
• Start with a small sample, then scale to a larger market dataset when your research is ready.

4. Choose whether to fetch richer property-page details.
5. Open the dataset after the run and download it as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect to it through the Apify API or MCP.

💳 Pricing

You can test the actor with the Apify Free plan and its included monthly credits. Larger searches and optional detail enrichment use more platform resources, so begin with a modest maxItems value and scale up when the output meets your needs. Check your current Apify plan for the latest usage and credit information.

⚙️ Tips for better results

• Start with a precise location such as Victoria Island, Ikeja GRA, or Wuse 2 instead of a whole country.
• Use the operation that matches the opportunity: sale, long-term rent, short stay, or joint venture.
• Leave price and bedroom bounds at 0 when you want an open search.
• Use propertyTypes for several categories and propertySubtypes for more specific styles or commercial uses.
• Keep fetchDetails off for a fast market scan; enable it when you need richer information per listing.
• Use maxItems: 0 when you need all available pages and have enough time and platform credits for a broad run.

⚖️ Legal and ethical use

Use this actor only for lawful purposes. Respect Nigeria Property Centre’s terms, robots guidance, intellectual-property rights, privacy obligations, and applicable data-protection laws. Collect only information made publicly available, avoid unsolicited contact, apply reasonable collection limits, and attribute the source where appropriate. This actor is an independent community tool and is not affiliated with Nigeria Property Centre.

❓ FAQ

Does maxItems: 0 collect every listing?

It asks the actor to continue through all available result pages until the search ends. Very broad searches may take longer and use more platform resources.

Why would I enable fetchDetails?

Listing results provide the main property information quickly. Detail enrichment can add more page-level information, but it takes longer and may use more usage credits.

Can I search all four listing purposes?

Yes. Use buy, rent, short-let, or joint-venture in the Listing purpose field.

Can I export the results?

Yes. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or connect it to another workflow through the Apify API or MCP.

Why are some values missing?

Listings differ in completeness. Optional fields are left out when the source listing does not publish the information.
