UK Property Scraper

Scrapes UK property listings from Rightmove and OnTheMarket in one run (for-sale & to-rent), normalized to a single schema. HTTP-first (no browser), so it's fast and cheap.

Zoopla: included in the code but not available in cloud runs — Zoopla's search pages are behind a Cloudflare JS challenge that returns HTTP 403 from datacenter and residential IPs (confirmed), so it is skipped. It stays selectable for local/experimental use; cloud support would require a browser-based bypass (planned, not in this version).

Input

• locations (required): place names or postcodes (e.g. London, Manchester, SW1A). Auto-resolved per portal.
• channel: for-sale (default) / to-rent.
• portals: subset of rightmove, onthemarket (default both). zoopla is selectable but experimental — see note above.
• minPrice / maxPrice / minBeds / maxBeds: numeric filters.
• propertyType: e.g. detached, flat, terraced, bungalow.
• radius: miles from each location.
• addedSinceDays: only listings added within N days.
• keywords / features: text filters (e.g. garden, parking).
• newBuild / chainFree: booleans.
• includeDetails (default false): fetch each listing's page for full description + all photos (slower).
• maxListings (default 1000): hard cap across all portals/locations.
• failOnError (default false): skip vs abort on a portal/location failure.
• proxyConfiguration: Apify proxy (optional). Rightmove + OnTheMarket work without a proxy.

Output

One dataset row per listing with: listingId, portal, channel, url, displayAddress, price, priceQualifier, rentFrequency, bedrooms, bathrooms, receptions, propertyType, tenure, latitude, longitude, agentName, agentPhone, addedOn, summary, descriptionText, descriptionHtml, images, soldPrice, soldDate, scrapedAt.

(descriptionText / descriptionHtml populate only when includeDetails is on; soldPrice / soldDate are reserved for a future sold-prices channel.)

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.001 per listing scraped.
