reality.idnes.cz Scraper — Czech Property & Prices

Export property listings from reality.idnes.cz, the real-estate portal of iDNES — price in CZK, Czech layout code, floor area and address — to JSON, CSV or Excel. Keyless, no login.

What does reality.idnes.cz Scraper do?

reality.idnes.cz carries a broad mix of agency and developer stock across the whole country, and renders results server-side, so this Actor reads them without a browser.

The detail worth knowing about is the layout code. Czech listings describe a property as 3+1 or 2+kk — rooms plus a separate or kitchenette-style kitchen — and that code is the field Czech buyers actually filter on. The site glues it into one title line together with the floor area: "bytu 3+1 118 m²". This Actor splits them into a layout column and a numeric areaSqm column.

That split needs care, and it is a good example of why: Czech numbers use a space as the thousands separator, so "3+1 118 m²" reads as the single number 1 118 unless the layout is removed from the string first. Get that wrong and every three-room flat in the export appears to be a thousand square metres.

Property type and deal type are taken from the listing URL, which is built from them, rather than from display text that changes with the interface language.

Who is it for?

• Estate agencies tracking competitor stock and pricing by region.
• Investors comparing price per m² and by layout across Czech cities.
• Analysts measuring supply, asking prices and auction volume.
• Portal builders who need a structured Czech feed.
• Relocation services monitoring rental supply in Prague and Brno.

Use cases

• Pull every 2+kk apartment for sale in Prague with price and area.
• Compare price per m² between Prague, Brno and Ostrava.
• Track rental supply by layout in a single district.
• Monitor auction listings separately from ordinary sales.
• Watch new supply weekly on a schedule.

Why use this Actor?

• Layout and area as separate columns, correctly split.
• Price as a real number in CZK, with "price on request" left empty rather than faked as zero.
• Deal and property type from the URL, so they stay stable.
• Sale, rent and auctions from one dropdown.
• Keyless and browserless — no login, no headless Chrome, low cost per row.

What data can you extract?

Every row carries the listing ID, title and URL, deal type, property type and its slug, the Czech layout code, floor area in m², address, price as label and number with currency, any promotional badge, and the cover image.

How to use it

1. Choose the deal type — sale, rent or auction.
2. Pick a property type.
3. Enter a region slug from a search URL: praha, brno, ostrava, jihomoravsky-kraj.
4. Optionally set a price band, then set Maximum results and run.

Input example

{
  "deal": "prodej",
  "propertyType": "byty",

  "maxPrice": 9000000,
  "maxResults": 1000
}

Notes and limits

• Prices are asking prices. Some listings publish "cena na dohodě" (price by agreement); those keep the label and leave the numeric price empty.
• The card carries no agency name — that is on the detail page, not the search result — so it is not exported rather than guessed.
• Addresses are street and district level, which is what the portal publishes; there are no coordinates on the result cards.
• The badge column is sparse by design: it only appears on promoted listings.
• Listings are agency and owner content; check the site's terms and applicable law for how you reuse them.

FAQ

Do I need an account? No. Search results are public and the Actor needs nothing from you.

What does 2+kk mean? Two rooms plus a kitchenette. 3+1 means three rooms plus a separate kitchen. It is the standard Czech way of describing a flat's layout.

Where do I get the region slug? Run a search on the site and copy the segment after the property type in the URL.

Are auctions included? Yes — choose "Auctions" as the deal type.

How am I charged? Pay per result — you pay for the listings delivered.
