CIAN.ru Real Estate Scraper — Sale & Rent

What is CIAN.ru Real Estate Scraper — Sale & Rent?

CIAN.ru Real Estate Scraper — Sale & Rent returns one dataset row per public CIAN.ru property listing in Russia: listing ID and URL, deal type, asking price or monthly rent in rubles, price per square metre, rooms and a studio flag, area in m², floor and total floors, nearest metro station and the full address. Real estate agents, investors, relocation services, analysts and AI agents use it to screen flats for sale or rent by city, rooms and price, or to collect a CIAN search they already filtered on the site.

Why people use this CIAN scraper

• Filters or URLs. Set dealType, location or regionId, rooms, propertyType and a price band, or paste CIAN search and listing URLs into startUrls.
• Price per m² included. pricePerSqmRub sits next to priceRub, ready for value comparisons across districts.
• Building context. floor and floorsTotal show where a flat sits in its building.
• Metro on every row. metro and address make commute screening quick.
• Sale and rent. dealType switches between asking prices and monthly rents.

Best fit for this Actor

• Best fit for screening Russian flats, rooms and houses for sale or rent, especially in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
• Designed for public CIAN listing cards, collected through Russian residential proxies by default.
• Use regionId (1 for Moscow, 2 for Saint Petersburg) for exact regions, or location keys such as moscow, spb or kazan.
• Use startUrls when you already set districts, metro lines or other filters on cian.ru.
• To see private-seller and classifieds listings in the same city, continue with Avito Scraper and compare prices per m².

Example workflow: from a client budget to a shortlist

A relocation consultant starts with dealType set to rent, location set to moscow, rooms set to ["1", "2"] and maxPrice at 120,000 rubles, with maxItems at 100. The dataset returns each flat's priceRub, areaSqm, floor, metro and url. They filter on metro stations near the client's office, compare rent per square metre, and drop ground-floor flats. They export a shortlist of ten links to share with the client, then schedule the same input daily to catch new rentals first.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. Each listing saved is one Property scraped event, and each run has one Actor Start event plus the platform and residential proxy usage of the run. For example, a daily rental search capped at 100 listings is up to 100 Property scraped events plus the start event and usage. maxItems doubles as a spending limit. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current event prices.

API example

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~cian-ru-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"dealType": "rent", "location": "spb", "rooms": ["1", "2"], "maxPrice": 80000, "maxItems": 30}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("khadinakbar/cian-ru-scraper").call(run_input={"dealType": "sale", "regionId": 1, "rooms": ["2"], "maxItems": 50})
flats = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
for flat in sorted(flats, key=lambda f: f["pricePerSqmRub"])[:10]:
    print(flat["metro"], flat["areaSqm"], flat["priceRub"], flat["url"])

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Actor to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through Apify MCP and ask:

Find 20 one-room flats for sale in Moscow on CIAN under 20 million rubles and list the five cheapest per square metre with their metro station and link.

The agent sets dealType, location, rooms, maxPrice and maxItems, reads rows with get-dataset-items, sorts by pricePerSqmRub, and cites each url. It can check OUTPUT.outcome to tell a narrow search from a full one, and each saved listing is one event, so maxItems keeps the cost of the request predictable.

Best results

Starting situation	Helpful action	Expected outcome
A first test	Keep maxItems small, such as 3 to 10	A quick check of the result shape
Exact regions	Use regionId instead of location	The precise CIAN region
District or metro filters	Build the search on cian.ru and paste it into startUrls	Your exact filters, collected
Value screening	Sort by pricePerSqmRub	Underpriced flats first
Rental monitoring	Set dealType to rent and schedule daily	New rentals each run
Few results	Widen rooms or the price band	More listings per run

Builder's note

I built this around the fields Russian buyers and renters scan first on a CIAN card: price, price per square metre, floor and the metro station. I kept URL mode alongside filters because CIAN's own search has district and metro options that are easiest to set on the site and then collect as is.
