Brazil Real Estate Scraper Features

• Scrapes both portals — VivaReal and ZAP Imóveis — through one actor
• Filters by state (UF), city, business type (sale, rental, seasonal), and property type (apartment, house, land, commercial, farm, office)
• Returns 40+ fields per listing including IPTU and condominium fee, the holding-cost data investors actually need
• Includes publisher CRECI license number for agent verification
• Geo coordinates (lat/lon) on every listing — useful for map overlays, neighborhood scoring, or just satisfying your curiosity
• Cloudflare bypass and residential proxy handling are built in. You configure a state and city; the scraper does the rest

Who Uses Brazil Real Estate Data?

• PropTech startups — Build comp pricing models, valuation engines, or rental yield analytics on Grupo ZAP's catalog
• Foreign investors — Screen Brazilian properties for sale by city, neighborhood, and price range without a local broker
• Real estate agencies — Track competitor inventory, pricing trends, and agent activity across both portals
• Mortgage brokers — Pull property metadata and IPTU into underwriting workflows. The IPTU number alone saves a phone call
• Market analysts — Aggregate listing volumes by region for monthly reports, or track price-per-square-meter shifts over time
• Lead generation teams — Extract verified agent contacts (CRECI, phone, email, website) for partnership outreach

How Brazil Real Estate Scraper Works

1. Pick a portal (VivaReal, ZAP, or both), business type (sale or rental), state, and city.
2. The scraper clears Cloudflare once per portal using a managed-challenge solver and a Brazilian residential session, then paginates the underlying JSON endpoint that powers both sites.
3. Each listing is normalized into a flat record with consistent field names, snake_case, and predictable types — no nested arrays of unknown shape.
4. Output lands in the dataset, ready to export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or pipe into your warehouse.

FAQ

How do I scrape VivaReal and ZAP Imóveis?

Brazil Real Estate Scraper handles both portals through one input. Pick VIVAREAL, ZAP, or BOTH, set the state and city, and run. Both portals share the same backend, so the output schema is identical regardless of which portal a listing came from — only the portal and url fields differ.

How much does Brazil Real Estate Scraper cost to run?

The scraper is priced at $0.10 to start a run plus $0.002 per listing returned. 1,000 listings cost $2.10. 10,000 listings cost $20.10. The Cloudflare bypass and residential proxy are bundled into the per-record price, which keeps billing predictable.

What data can I get from VivaReal?

Brazil Real Estate Scraper extracts 40+ fields including price, IPTU, condominium fee, total and useful area, bedroom/bathroom/parking counts, amenities, full address (street, neighborhood, city, state, CEP), latitude/longitude, agent name and CRECI license, phone, email, website, photos, videos, and timestamps. The same fields are returned for ZAP Imóveis.

Can I filter by neighborhood or property type?

Brazil Real Estate Scraper filters by state, city, business type (sale/rental/seasonal), and property type. Neighborhood-level filtering happens client-side from the output — every listing returns its neighborhood field, so you can filter the dataset post-hoc.

Does Brazil Real Estate Scraper need proxies?

Brazil Real Estate Scraper requires Apify residential proxies pinned to Brazil. Both portals sit behind Cloudflare's managed challenge, and datacenter IPs get blocked at the edge. The default proxy configuration is set up correctly — you don't need to change anything unless you're routing through your own infrastructure.

Is the data fresh?

Brazil Real Estate Scraper hits the live source on every run, so listings reflect the current state of both portals at scrape time. There's no caching layer between you and the source. Active listings change daily — about 5-10% of inventory churns per day across the catalog.

Why Use Brazil Real Estate Scraper?

• Two portals, one actor — VivaReal and ZAP Imóveis through a single input. Most scrapers only cover one
• IPTU and condo fee included — These are the holding costs that determine whether a Brazilian property is actually a good investment, and most competing scrapers don't return them
• Affordable — ~$0.002 per listing, predictable PPE billing, no surprise residential bandwidth charges
