FAQ

How do I get the search URLs? Go to idealista.com (or idealista.pt / idealista.it), set your filters (location, price range, bedrooms, etc.), and copy the URL from your browser. The scraper works with whatever filters you apply on the site.

Does it scrape individual listing detail pages? No — it extracts data from search result pages only. Each listing includes a direct URL you can use to visit the full detail page.

Why does Idealista block requests? Idealista has aggressive anti-scraping measures. The actor uses stealth browser settings and residential proxies to work around this, but some requests may still fail. Running with a lower maxListings value and from Spanish IPs gives the best results.

Does it work with Idealista Italy and Portugal? Yes. Use the appropriate domain: idealista.it for Italy, idealista.pt for Portugal. The scraper extracts the same fields regardless of the country.

❓ Extended FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape Idealista?

Pay-per-result on Apify (no monthly subscription). At $1.00 per 1,000 listings, scraping 100 properties costs ~$0.10. Apify Free plan includes $5 credit (~5,000 listings to start).

Is Idealista scraping legal in Spain?

Idealista listings are public data. Scraping for personal market research, lead generation, or analytics is generally legal under EU GDPR when the data is non-personal. Always respect Idealista's Terms of Service and don't republish copyrighted content.

Can I get historical Idealista price data?

The scraper returns current listings only. To track price history, schedule the scraper to run daily or weekly (Apify supports cron schedules) and store results.

Which Idealista markets are supported?

Idealista España (.com), Italia (.it), and Portugal (.pt) — all three countries Idealista operates in. Pass URLs from any domain.

Can I filter by price range, rooms, or property type?

Yes — apply the filters directly on idealista.com / .it / .pt before copying the URL. The scraper respects all filter parameters in the URL.

What's the difference vs other Idealista scrapers?

HTTP + light browser fallback (no full Puppeteer overhead). 5-10× cheaper compute than browser-only competitors. Built-in residential proxy + retries to handle Idealista's anti-bot measures.
