Rightmove Scraper — UK property listings, prices and agents

Rightmove is the UK's largest property site. This Actor turns its for-sale search results into a clean table: what the property is, what it costs, where it is, when it first went on the market, and which agent is selling it.

Press Start. The defaults return London listings in Rightmove's "newest listed" order, with no configuration needed. In that order a price reduction brings a listing back to the top, so an older home can sit among the new ones; posted_at still tells you when it first appeared.

rooms and bedrooms

Property portals in different countries count different things, so this catalogue keeps the two apart rather than putting whichever number a site happens to publish into one column. rooms is a real room count. bedrooms is a bedroom count. A site that publishes only one of the two leaves the other out of the row entirely, so you never have to guess which quantity you are looking at:

Site	rooms	bedrooms
Willhaben (Austria)	yes	not published
Immowelt (Germany)	yes	not published
Bezrealitky (Czech Republic)	yes, from the 2+kk layout	not published
Immoweb (Belgium)	not comparable, so left out	yes
Rightmove (UK)	not published	yes

Immoweb does publish a roomCount, and it is not a room count in the sense the other countries use: on one Gent search page a 102 m² three-bedroom flat reported 1 and an 81 m² one-bedroom reported 9. Rather than ship a column that cannot be compared, this Actor leaves rooms out and gives you bedrooms. Rightmove publishes bedrooms and bathrooms and no total room count at all, which is the British convention.

living_area_sqm appears when the listing gives a floor area, as it does on about six listings in ten. Every row also carries source_site and scraped_at; floor is always empty.

Agent names are included. Contact persons, phone numbers and email addresses are never collected, and image URLs are deliberately not included — Rightmove's terms restrict loading its images elsewhere, and this Actor respects that.

What people use it for

Price monitoring, where you re-run a saved search on a schedule and watch a postcode district or a town move. Agent and inventory research, where the agent column matters as much as the homes. And feeding a valuation or comparison tool that needs UK market data it cannot get from an official API.

Input

Field	What it does
location	A town, county or postcode district as Rightmove spells it (Manchester, Greater Manchester, SW15), a Rightmove locationIdentifier (REGION^904), or a Rightmove search URL. Leave empty for London.
postedAfter	Only keep listings that first appeared on or after this date (ISO 8601). A price cut does not make a listing new again.
maxItems	Hard stop, so your bill is predictable.
proxyConfiguration	Off by default. Most runs do not need one.

There is no nationwide search on Rightmove, so a location is always used. Ambiguous names resolve the way Rightmove resolves them (Newport is the Welsh one); use the locationIdentifier from a Rightmove URL to pick the other.

How much one run returns

Rightmove serves 24 listings per page and stops at page 42, so one search returns at most about 1,000 listings. Split by postcode district or town across runs for more; duplicates are removed within a run.

Pricing

$3.00 per 1,000 listings, dropping to $1.50 per 1,000 on higher Apify plans, plus $0.005 each time a run starts. Platform usage is not passed on to you.

You are charged for rows you actually receive. If you set a maximum charge for the run, it stops cleanly at that limit instead of overshooting it.

Scope and limits

Public listings only, from the search results page. Floor, year built and plot size are not on that page. Floor area is present on about six listings in ten; postcode district on about three in four. "POA" listings have an empty price. Tenure (freehold/leasehold) is not included.

Rightmove answers some mistakes with a normal page instead of an error — a place name it does not know may resolve to a different place with a similar name, and an unknown sort order silently becomes "highest price". This Actor checks the place and the sort order Rightmove echoes back against what you asked for and fails the run if they differ, rather than charging you for the wrong rows.

If Rightmove changes its page structure, the run goes red. It does not return zero rows and report success — a silent scraper is worse than a broken one, because you find out weeks later.

A run that is blocked or cut short partway also goes red, even though the rows it did collect are in the dataset and yours to keep. Red here means "this is not the complete answer", not "you lost the data" — on a schedule, a run that quietly came back short is the thing you most need to hear about.

Every run also publishes the site's own result count next to the rows it delivered, so you can see "60 rows of 9,969 the site reports" without going back to the site to check. That number is what the site says, not a promise about what one run returns.

Same data, other countries

This Actor shares its output shape with the Immoweb (Belgium), Willhaben Immobilien (Austria) and Bezrealitky (Czech Republic) scrapers. A parser you write for one keeps working on the others.
