FAQ

How do I scrape Property24 listings for South Africa and Kenya? Set country to ZA for South Africa (property24.com) or KE for Kenya (property24.co.ke), pick listingType (sale or rent), and run. Each property listing returns as a structured record with 20+ fields.

Limitations

• Agent contact details — Phone numbers and email addresses 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 will be empty in most records.
• EAAB registration — Only available for South African (ZA) listings where the agent has listed their registration number in their profile.
• Residential proxies required — Property24 blocks datacenter IPs. The default proxy configuration uses Apify residential proxies, which are included in your Apify plan.
• Listing completeness — Very new listings (under a few hours old) may be indexed in the listing feed but not yet fully rendered on the detail page.
