RealEstate.com.au Property Extractor

Turn any RealEstate.com.au search into a clean, structured dataset. Paste a Buy, Rent, or Sold search URL and this actor collects every property on the page, follows the pagination for you, and returns full listing details ready for JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Built for real estate agents, buyers agents, proptech teams, data analysts, and anyone who needs Australian property data at scale without copying and pasting by hand.

Why use this actor

• Works from a plain search URL. No API keys to manage, no query language to learn. Search on the site, copy the link, paste it in.
• Handles all three channels. Buy, Rent, and Sold are detected automatically from the URL.
• Follows pagination. One search can return hundreds of listings in a single run.
• Complete listing detail. Price, address, features, land size, agents, agency, photos, floorplans, inspection times, and auction dates.
• Clean output. Tracking tokens stripped from URLs, image size resolved, one record per property.
• Batch friendly. Add several search URLs and cover multiple areas in one go.

Quick start

1. Open realestate.com.au and run a search (suburb, region, price filters, whatever you need).
2. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
3. Paste it into the searchUrls field.
4. Set maxItems and click Start.

That is it. The dataset fills up as the run progresses.

Example input

{
    "searchUrls": [
        "https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-sydney,+nsw/list-1",
        "https://www.realestate.com.au/rent/in-melbourne,+vic/list-1"

About includeSurrounding

RealEstate.com.au splits search results into two groups: exact matches inside the area you searched, and surrounding listings from neighbouring suburbs that the site adds to fill out thin results (the "properties in nearby suburbs" strip).

• false (default): only exact matches. Every row is genuinely in the area you searched. Best for suburb-level analysis and valuations.
• true: exact plus surrounding. Wider coverage for lead lists and small search areas.

Listings are de-duplicated by listingId within each search URL, so you will not get the same property twice from a single search.

Output

Each property becomes one dataset record.

Tips

• Keep maxItems tight while testing so runs stay fast and cheap, then raise it for full pulls.
• To cover several areas at once, add each area's search URL to searchUrls in one run.
• Any valid RealEstate.com.au search page works, including filtered searches (price, bedrooms, property type). Set the filters on the site, then copy the URL.

FAQ

Do I need an account or API key for RealEstate.com.au? No. You only provide a public search URL.

Can it scrape rentals and sold listings, not just for-sale? Yes. Paste a Rent or Sold search URL and the channel field reflects which one.

How many properties can it return? Up to 1000 per run, across all your search URLs, controlled by maxItems.

Does it collect individual property pages? It collects the rich listing data available on search result pages, which already covers price, address, features, media, agents, inspections, and more.

Notes

• Only public listing data shown on RealEstate.com.au search pages is collected.
• Large searches take longer. Use maxItems to keep runs focused.
• Please use the data responsibly and in line with RealEstate.com.au's terms of use.
