immobilienscout24-scraper

What it does

Scrapes public Immobilienscout24.de buy and rent search results. Builds /Suche/de/{state}/{city}/{estate}-{mieten|kaufen} from a known German city or accepts live /Suche URLs. Camoufox (Firefox anti-detect) + Apify Residential DE clears AWS WAF ("Ich bin kein Roboter"). Parses the embedded resultListModel / searchResponseModel JSON into flat MCP-ready rows (~20/page) and paginates with ?pagenumber=.

ICP

German PropTech, agencies, investors, and AI agents monitoring Immobilienscout24 buy/rent supply — sibling to Immowelt when you need IS24 coverage.

Why use this Actor?

• WAF-aware: Plain HTTP gets 401; this Actor uses Camoufox + DE residential like production Jumia/Kununu patterns.
• Structured JSON first: Reads resultListModel, not brittle CSS cards.
• MCP-ready flat rows: price, rooms, m², address, agency phone, images, coordinates when present.
• Honest outcomes: OUTPUT / RUN_SUMMARY with COMPLETE | PARTIAL | VALID_EMPTY | INVALID_INPUT | UPSTREAM_FAILED.

How to use

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console (or call via API / MCP as apify--immobilienscout24-scraper).
2. Leave Location as Berlin (or set München / Hamburg / …) or paste Immobilienscout24 /Suche URLs.
3. Choose Rent or Buy and estate type when building from location.
4. Set Max items (prefill 3 for a cheap canary).
5. Keep the default Residential DE proxy.
6. Run. Download the dataset as JSON / CSV / Excel.

Pricing

Pay per event + platform usage pass-through (you pay compute/proxy):

Event	Price
apify-actor-start	$0.00005
property-scraped (primary)	$0.005 / listing

Example: 3 Berlin rent listings ≈ $0.00005 + 3 × $0.005 = $0.01505 in event charges, plus Residential DE usage.

Tips

• Prefer pasting a live /Suche URL for districts (e.g. Berlin-Mitte) — the location builder covers major cities only.
• Detail /expose/{id} enrichment is out of v1 (deferred); SERP rows already include the public card fields.
• If every page is WAF-blocked, the run ends UPSTREAM_FAILED — do not treat zero rows as success in that case.
• Sibling: Immowelt All-in-One for Immowelt.de (HTTP Cheerio).

FAQ

Why Camoufox? Immobilienscout24 fronts AWS WAF; Cheerio/HTTP alone returns challenge HTML.

Why Residential DE? Non-DE / datacenter exits rarely clear the challenge.

Empty results? Valid empty searches return VALID_EMPTY. Persistent WAF → UPSTREAM_FAILED.
