FAQ

How do I get estate agent phone numbers from Property24? Phone numbers are loaded via a separate API call on the portal and are not available in the scraped HTML. The agent_phone and agent_email fields are empty in most records. The agent_name, agency_name, and agent_registration fields are reliably populated.

Can I scrape Property24 listings by province? Yes — paste the Property24 search page URL for the province, suburb, or search you want (e.g. a Gauteng or Western Cape results page) into startUrls and the run is scoped to that page instead of the default national feed. You can also paste a single listing's URL directly. Without startUrls, the actor crawls the full national feed for your chosen country and listing type; each record still carries suburb, city, and province for post-run filtering.

Is it legal to scrape Property24? Property24 listing data is publicly accessible without login. This actor retrieves the same information a browser user would see. Users are responsible for ensuring their downstream use of the data complies with Property24's terms of service and applicable laws.
