Singapore HDB Resale Flat Prices Scraper — data.gov.sg HDB Transaction History API

Crawls historical HDB (Housing & Development Board) public housing resale transactions from Singapore's open-data portal (data.gov.sg). Use it as an HDB resale price API and Singapore property data export: query HDB resale prices by town, by flat type, and by month, with derived price-per-sqft. HDB flats house roughly 80% of Singapore residents, making this the foundational SG residential-property dataset.

What you get

• ~976,000 transactions spanning January 1990 to the current month, refreshed monthly
• For each record:
  • Location: town, block, street name, formatted address, storey range
  • Property: flat type (3-room / 4-room / 5-room / executive / multi-gen), flat model (Improved, Maisonette, DBSS, Premium Apartment, etc.), floor area in sqm and sqft
  • Lease: lease commencement year, remaining lease in years (derived for pre-2015 records using the 99-year HDB lease)
  • Price: resale price in SGD, derived price-per-sqft and price-per-sqm
  • Provenance: source dataset id, transaction basis (resale-approval pre-Mar-2012, registration after), scrape timestamp

Inputs

• Towns — filter to one or more of Singapore's 26 HDB towns (ANG MO KIO, BISHAN, TAMPINES, …). Empty = all towns.
• Flat types — 1/2/3/4/5 ROOM, EXECUTIVE, MULTI-GENERATION. Empty = all types.
• Month from / Month to — YYYY-MM bounds. Useful for incremental refreshes (monthFrom: 2025-01 to pull only the latest year).
• Sort order — newest-first (default) or oldest-first.
• Max items — caps total records across all matching datasets. Default 15 for previews; set to 0 for an unlimited bulk pull.
• Proxy — Apify residential rotation by default. data.gov.sg's open-data endpoint rate-limits aggressively per IP, so spreading requests across many residential exit nodes is required for reliable bulk pulls.

Source & freshness (data.gov.sg Resale Flat Prices)

The actor combines five child datasets that make up data.gov.sg's "Resale Flat Prices" collection:

Coverage	Records (~)	Notes
1990 – 1999	287,000	resale-approval basis
2000 – Feb 2012	369,000	resale-approval basis
Mar 2012 – 2014	52,000	switched to registration basis
2015 – 2016	37,000	adds published remaining_lease
Jan 2017 onward	230,000+	rolling, refreshed monthly by HDB

Pre-2015 records do not ship a remaining_lease field — the actor derives it from lease_commence_date plus the transaction month using the standard 99-year HDB lease.

Live for-sale listings

The original spec asked for active resale listings (asking price, HDB valuation, agent contact). Those live behind Singpass — Singapore's national digital-identity gateway, restricted to citizens and permanent residents — so they are not collectable from this actor. Only the historical transaction record is included.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.10 per actor start + $0.001 per record returned. Default test runs (15 records) cost roughly $0.115; a full historical pull (~976,000 records) costs roughly $976.10.
