What does Encuentra24 Scraper do?

Encuentra24 is the dominant marketplace in Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. This Actor scrapes its property verticals — sale, rent, land, offices and retail — across any of those six markets, and any other category via a path override.

The site is a React Server Components app, which is worth explaining because it changes what is possible. The listings are not present as HTML markup — they are streamed into the page as escaped string chunks. This Actor reassembles that stream and reads the results array out of it, which means it gets the full record for every listing rather than only the handful of fields the card happens to display.

That difference is large. From a single search page you get price and price per square metre, area and lot size, rooms, bathrooms and parking spaces, exact coordinates, the advertiser's name, company, real-estate licence number, phone and WhatsApp — plus the created and last-updated timestamps.

React's stream also carries its own sentinels: dates come through prefixed with $D and missing values as the literal text $undefined. Both are normalised, because a column full of $undefined is worse than an empty one.

Who is it for?

• Real-estate agencies in Panama City, San José or San Salvador tracking competitor stock.
• Investors comparing price per m² across Central American cities.
• Lead-generation teams building advertiser lists with phone and licence data.
• Analysts measuring supply and pricing across six national markets at once.

Use cases

• Pull every apartment for sale in Panama with price per m², area and coordinates.
• Build an agent and agency contact list, filtered to licensed advertisers.
• Compare rental asking prices between Costa Rica and Panama.
• Track new developments separately using the new-developments category.
• Export office and retail supply for a commercial-market report.

Why use this Actor?

• Six countries from one dropdown.
• Price per m² computed by the site itself, not estimated afterwards.
• Advertiser phone, WhatsApp and licence number where published.
• Exact coordinates on every listing.
• Created and updated timestamps, so you can measure time on market.
• Every property vertical — sale, rent, land, offices, retail — with a path override for anything else.

What data can you extract?

Every row carries the listing ID, title and URL, main and sub-category, vertical, price with currency and price per m², area and lot size, rooms, bathrooms and parking, floor, age, pet-friendly and swimming-pool flags, project status, address, locality and city, latitude and longitude, advertiser name, ID, company, licence, type and verified flag, contact phone and WhatsApp, featured level, active flag, image count and cover image, a plain-text description, and the created and updated dates.

How to use it

1. Choose the country market — Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala or Honduras.
2. Pick a category from the list.
3. To scrape a category that is not listed, paste its path into Category path override.
4. Set Maximum results and run, then export JSON, CSV or Excel.

Input example

{
  "market": "costa-rica-es",
  "category": "bienes-raices-venta-de-propiedades-casas",
  "maxResults": 1000
}

Notes and limits

• Prices are asking prices, quoted in the market's own currency — the currency code is exported per row because Panama and El Salvador use USD while Costa Rica uses colones.
• Advertiser phone numbers are the business contact details published on the advert itself. You remain responsible for how you use them, including under local law when sending marketing.
• Sparse columns — floor, project status, pet-friendly — are populated only where the advertiser filled them in; that is the source data, not a gap in the export.
• The description is converted from HTML to plain text and truncated; open the listing URL for the full advert.
• The category list covers Encuentra24's property verticals, which is where the structured fields (area, rooms, price per m²) exist. Other verticals such as vehicles use different slugs and different attributes; use the override field for those and expect the property-specific columns to be empty.
