Actor - Idealista Scraper

Idealista scraper

Since Idealista doesn't provide a public API, this actor retrieves property data from Idealista (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France).

Features

• Scrape property details — price, price per m², size, floor, rooms, bathrooms, description, energy certification, lift/parking/feature flags, location breakdown (district, municipality, province, neighborhood), photos, videos, 3D tours, contact info, and more.
• Scrape for-sale or rental properties — target sale or rent listings directly.
• Search by location — one or several city/district names, or a radius around a point.
• Filter by URL — paste any Idealista search URL (with filters already applied) as a startUrl.
• Advanced filters — price range, published within, bedrooms, bathrooms, size range, home type, floor height, condition, and features; sort by price, date, price drop, €/m² or size.
• All results from big searches — Idealista returns at most 2,500 listings per search; bigger searches are split by price automatically, with no duplicates.
• Monitoring — return only listings that are new since your previous run, for scheduled daily runs.

Note: Due to Idealista's privacy policy, exact property locations may be hidden. In those cases the scraper returns the map center coordinates accessible from the property detail.

Note: description is returned in the language the advertiser wrote it in (usually Spanish), even though titles and other labels come back in English.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event billing — you are not charged for Apify platform usage (compute, proxy bandwidth), only for the results you get.

Event	Price	When it's charged
list-result	$1.00 / 1,000 results	One per property returned from a search (district or a search startUrl) with fetchDetails disabled
detail-result	$3.50 / 1,000 results	One per property fetched from its detail page — every result when fetchDetails is enabled, plus any direct property startUrl

Each property is charged once: with fetchDetails: true search results are not pushed on their own, so you pay detail-result only — never both events for the same property.

Detail results cost more because each one needs its own extra API request through residential proxies, on top of the search request. If you only need the fields listed in the search response (see the note under Example Result), leave fetchDetails off and pay the list-result rate.

Use maxItems to cap how many results — and therefore how much — a run can produce.

Input Parameters

Field	Type	Required	Description
country	String	✓	es (Spain), pt (Portugal), it (Italy), fr (France). Used with district; a startUrl always uses the country of its domain.
operation	String	✓	sale or rent
proxy	Object	✓	Proxy configuration — RESIDENTIAL proxies required
district	String		Location name or postal code to search, e.g. Madrid or 28013. Required if no startUrl, radius search, agency or propertyIds provided.
districts	Array		More locations or postal codes searched in the same run, e.g. ["Barcelona", "28013"].
agency	String		Only one agency's listings: its short name or page URL (https://www.idealista.com/pro/<agency>/). Agency page URLs also work as a startUrl.
propertyIds	Array		Listing IDs to fetch directly (billed as detail-result), on the country site.
propertyType	String		homes (default), newDevelopments, bedrooms, vacationRentals (rent only), offices, premises, transfers, garages, lands, storageRooms, buildings
startUrl	Array		List of Idealista property detail or search URLs from any supported domain (idealista.com, .pt, .it, .fr), including map-view (/mapa) and drawn-area URLs (/areas/...?shape=...)
maxItems	Integer		Maximum number of results for the whole run (across all districts, URLs and price bands). Leave empty for all results.
endPage	Integer		Last search page per search, 50 results per page (default and maximum 50)
splitByPrice	Boolean		One Idealista search returns at most 2,500 listings. When a search has more, it is split into price bands so you get the full result set. Default true.
monitoringMode	Boolean		Return only listings that previous runs with the same search did not return (see Monitoring). Default false.
minPrice / maxPrice	Integer		Price range in €.
publishedWithin	String		any (default), last24Hours (rent only), last48Hours (sale only), lastWeek, lastMonth
sortBy	String		weigh (relevance, default), price, publicationDate, modificationDate, priceDown, ratioeurm2, size, distance (radius search only)
sortOrder	String		desc (default) or asc
language	String		Language of titles and labels: en (default), es, ca, pt, it, fr, de, nl. Descriptions stay in the advertiser's language.
latitude / longitude / radiusKm	Number		Radius search around a point instead of a district, e.g. 40.4168, -3.7038, 2. Default radius 5 km.
fetchDetails	Boolean		For each search result, also fetch the full property detail page (adds description, energyCertification, and more accurate floor/hasLift/location fields). Slower, uses one extra request per property, and bills at the detail-result rate (see Pricing). Default false.
minSize	String		Minimum property size in m², e.g. "60"
maxSize	String		Maximum property size in m², e.g. "200"
bedrooms	Array		e.g. ["studio","1","2","3","4"]
bathrooms	Array		e.g. ["1","2","3"]
homeType	Array		flat, penthouse, duplex, studio, chalet (houses), countryHouse, apartment, villa, loft, atticStudio, casaBaja. Several values widen the search. detachedHouse, semiDetachedHouse and terracedHouse are searched as chalet — Idealista has no separate filter for them.
condition	Array		newDevelopment, good, renew
propertyStatus	Array		bareOwnership, tenanted, illegallyOccupied, free
floorHeights	Array		topFloor, intermediateFloor, groundFloor
features	Array		airConditioning, builtinWardrobes, elevator, exteriorDomesticSpace, balcony, terrance, exterior, garage, garden, swimmingPool, storeRoom, accessible, luxury, seaViews, bankOffer (bank-owned), virtualTour, hasPlan (floor plan), petsAllowed (rent only)
energyRating	String		any (default), high, medium, low
furnished	String		Rent only: any (default), furnished, furnishedKitchen
auction	String		any (default), only, exclude
onlyNewest	Boolean		Return only newest listings
debugLog	Boolean		Enable verbose debug logging

This solution requires Proxy servers. Use Apify Proxy with the RESIDENTIAL group or your own residential proxies.

Note: By default, search results (district or search-URL scraping) return the data included directly in the search response — it does not include everything a single property page has. Enable fetchDetails to fetch the full detail page for every search result instead:

• energyCertification is only available from the detail page — there's no way to get it from search results, fetchDetails or not.
• description, size, and priceByArea are present in both search results and detail pages.
• neighborhood, parkingSpace, newDevelopment, and highlight are only present in search results — they're not returned by the detail endpoint at all, so scraping via a direct property URL (/inmueble/, /immobile/, /imovel/) or with fetchDetails enabled won't populate them.
• district/municipality/province use a different, coarser location breakdown on the detail page (it's approximated from Idealista's administrativeAreaLevel1-3 fields, which don't line up cleanly with the search response's own district/municipality/province).
• features (pool, terrace, air conditioning, etc.) is less complete from the detail page — some flags (terrace, air conditioning) only exist there as free-text, not structured fields, so they're left out to avoid unreliable text-matching.

Tip

To use a filtered search: go to Idealista, apply filters on the search page, then copy and paste the URL as a startUrl entry.

Drawn-area searches work too: draw the area on Idealista's map, then paste the resulting /areas/...?shape=... URL as a startUrl. The polygon is used as the search area, so no district name is needed.

Filters in the URL path (price, size, rooms, bathrooms, home type, condition, features) are applied to the search and override the same fields in the actor input. Two caveats: the chalet subtypes (chalets-independientes, chalets-adosados, casas-de-pueblo, ...) are searched as one "houses" bucket, because the API has no subtype filter; and any filter token that cannot be mapped is logged as a warning and ignored.

How to get more than 2,500 results from one search

Idealista's API serves at most 50 pages of 50 listings for one search. With splitByPrice on (the default), a search that reports more results is re-run as price bands that each stay under that limit, and the bands are merged into one dataset. Each property is returned and charged once, even when it appears in two bands. Set maxItems to cap the run; with maxItems at 2,500 or less no splitting happens.

Monitoring: new listings only

Set monitoringMode: true and schedule the Actor (e.g. daily). The first run returns the full result set. Every later run with the same search returns only listings that no earlier run returned, so you pay only for new listings. The list of seen listings is kept in your account's idealista-monitoring key-value store, separately for each search: changing a location or filter starts a new list, while changing maxItems, sorting or language does not. Tip: sort by publicationDate so new listings come first. Property detail URLs in startUrl are always returned.
