CIAN.ru Real Estate Scraper — Sale & Rent Listings (Russia)

CIAN.ru Real Estate Scraper collects public property cards from CIAN.ru — Russia’s leading classifieds marketplace for buy and rent inventory. Paste a CIAN search or listing URL, or set filters (dealType, location/regionId, rooms, price band). Each dataset row includes asking price (RUB), rooms, area m², floor, metro, address, and the canonical listing URL. Runtime is Camoufox + Apify Residential RU (plain Chromium/Cheerio receives HTTP 403 WAF). Usable via Apify Console, API, and MCP. No phone unlock — only fields visible on public cards.

Best fit and connected workflows

Use this Actor when the workflow is Russian residential inventory from CIAN.ru:

• Moscow / SPB buy screens with 1–3 room filters and RUB price caps
• Rent lead lists with monthly rent and metro proximity
• URL-driven collection after you already filtered on CIAN.ru
• CRM / spreadsheet import where one flat row per listing is the next step

Practical scenario

Anna is screening Moscow 1-room flats for sale under a client budget. She sets location to moscow, dealType to sale, rooms to [1], and maxItems to 10. The dataset returns priceRub, areaSqm, floor, metro, address, and url. She sorts by ₽/m², shortlists three metro stations, and opens each url for photos before sharing a shortlist. Phone numbers stay out of scope — CIAN phone unlock is not part of this Actor.

Input

Use either startUrls or filter mode (location / regionId + dealType).

Field	Type	Purpose
startUrls	array	CIAN search (cat.php / filtered search) or listing (/sale/flat/{id}, /rent/flat/{id}) URLs
dealType	string	sale or rent for filter mode
location	string	City key such as moscow, spb, kazan (mapped to CIAN region id)
regionId	integer	Numeric CIAN region (1=Moscow, 2=SPB); overrides location
rooms	array	Room counts (1–5, 6=6+, 0/9=studio)
minPrice / maxPrice	integer	RUB filters
propertyType	string	flat, room, or house
maxItems	integer	Cap on rows and property-scraped charges (prefill 3)
proxyConfiguration	object	Defaults to Apify RESIDENTIAL country RU

Focused input example (matches quality prefill):

{
  "dealType": "sale",
  "location": "moscow",
  "rooms": [1],
  "propertyType": "flat",
  "maxItems": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,

How to scrape CIAN.ru

1. Open this Actor in Apify Console.
2. Keep the Moscow 1-room sale prefill or paste your own startUrls / filters.
3. Leave Residential RU proxy defaults unless you have a reviewed override.
4. Click Start. Review the dataset, then schedule or call via API/MCP.

Pricing

Pay per event + platform usage (passed through to the caller):

Event	Price
apify-actor-start	$0.00005 / run start
property-scraped (primary)	$0.004 / saved listing

A 3-listing smoke run is about $0.012 in events plus Residential browser usage. See the live Pricing tab for the authoritative schedule.

Best results

• Prefer Residential RU; datacenter and plain HTTP hit cian_waf_block.
• Keep maxItems small for quality tests (≤3) so runs finish under 5 minutes.
• Use startUrls when you already built a CIAN search with districts/metro.
• Expect VALID_EMPTY for over-constrained filters, INVALID_INPUT for empty location, and UPSTREAM_FAILED when WAF blocks every attempt.

API / MCP

apify call khadinakbar/cian-ru-scraper -i '{
  "dealType": "sale",
  "location": "moscow",
  "rooms": [1],
  "maxItems": 3
}'

MCP tool name after publication: apify--cian-ru-scraper.

Agent prompt card

Scrape 5 Moscow 1-room flats for sale from CIAN.ru under 20M RUB. Return priceRub, areaSqm, metro, address, url. Do not unlock phones.

FAQ and responsible use

• Is phone scraping included? No. Only public card fields.
• Why Camoufox? CIAN’s WAF returns 403 for Cheerio/plain Chromium; Camoufox + Residential RU is the verified path.
• Legal / ToS: You are responsible for complying with CIAN.ru terms, applicable law, and personal-data rules. This Actor is for legitimate research and lead workflows on public listings.
• Support: Use the Issues tab on the Actor page.

Builder’s note

Local probes confirmed [data-name="CardComponent"] holds full price/rooms/area/floor/metro/address text, while bare HTTP returns cian_waf_block. Camoufox geoip must stay false on Apify Residential RU or launch aborts.
