## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### What does RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper do?

RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper is an Australian residential real estate extraction tool that scrapes **properties for sale (/buy/), properties for rent (/rent/), and recently sold auction and private-treaty results (/sold/)** directly from **realestate.com.au** across all Australian states and territories (NSW, VIC, QLD, `WA`, `SA`, TAS, ACT, and `NT`).

Whether you are a buyer's agent analyzing suburb-level price guides and auction clearance comps across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or Adelaide, benchmarking competing real estate agencies (Ray White, McGrath, Belle Property, LJ Hooker, Harcourts), or building active listing agent outreach lists, this scraper delivers clean, structured records in seconds.

> 🛡️ **Zero Proxy Configuration Required:** Anti-blocking and regional routing are **handled automatically out of the box** — just paste your target URLs and click **Start**.

### What data can you extract with RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper?

**💵 Price Guide, Weekly Rent or Sold Price** — display `price` (including AUD price guides, "Auction", or $pw weekly rent), `property_type` (House, Apartment, Townhouse, Villa, Land), and unique REA listing `id` <br>
**🏠 Bedrooms, Bathrooms & Car Spaces** — `beds` count, `baths` count, and garage/car `parking` spaces <br>
**📍 Street Address, Suburb, State & Postcode** — full `address`, parsed suburb, Australian `state` (NSW, VIC, QLD, `WA`, `SA`, TAS, ACT, `NT`), and 4-digit postcode <br>
**👔 Listing Agent & Real Estate Agency** — `agent_name` and marketing `agency` branch <br>
**🔗 Direct REA Property Link** — canonical `url` pointing to the full listing on realestate.com.au <br>

1. Click **Try for free** on the Actor page to open Apify Console.
2. Paste one or more realestate.com.au Buy, Rent, or Sold search URLs into **Start URLs** (for example, `https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-sydney+cbd,+nsw/list-1`).
3. Set **Max Results** (`maxItems`) to control how many Australian property listings to collect.
4. Click **Start** to launch the extraction run.
5. Download your Australian property dataset from the **Dataset** tab in Excel, CSV, JSON, or HTML table format.

### Input

RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper accepts a clean 2-parameter JSON configuration. Click on the [Input tab](https://apify.com/misterkhan/realestate-au-scraper/input-schema) for the interactive form.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-sydney+cbd,+nsw/list-1"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 40
}
```

**🇦🇺 `startUrls`** — array of realestate.com.au /buy/, /rent/, or /sold/ search URLs by suburb, postcode, or custom filter (e.g., `https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-sydney+cbd,+nsw/list-1`) <br>
**🔢 `maxItems`** — maximum number of Australian property listings to collect per run (default: 40; Free plan runs collect up to 40 listings per run, while paid Apify plans support unlimited bulk runs) <br>

### Output sample

Results are streamed in real time to your default Apify Dataset. Each record represents a normalized Australian property listing with price text, suburb/postcode, room/parking counts, and agent attribution:

```json
[
  {
    "id": "145928371",
    "address": "18/42 Macleay Street, Potts Point, NSW 2011",
    "suburb": "Potts Point",
    "state": "NSW",
    "postcode": "2011",
    "price": "$1,450,000",
    "property_type": "Apartment",
    "beds": 2,
    "bathrooms": 2,
    "parking": 1,
    "agent_name": "Liam Campbell",
    "agency": "Ray White Elizabeth Bay",
    "url": "https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-potts+point-145928371"
  }
]
```

### How much does it cost to scrape RealEstate.com.au listings?

RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper uses **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing (apify-default-dataset-item) with a `$0.00` startup fee—you only pay for Australian property records delivered to your dataset:

**🆓 Free plan** — `$0.005` per listing ($5.00 / 1,000 listings, up to 40 listings/run) <br>
**🥉 Starter (Bronze) plan** — `$0.00125` per listing ($1.25 / 1,000 listings) <br>
**🥈 Scale (Silver) plan** — `$0.0009` per listing ($0.90 / 1,000 listings) <br>
**🥇 Business+ (Gold) plan** — `$0.00065` per listing ($0.65 / 1,000 listings) <br>

With the monthly free credit on the Apify Free plan, you can extract **up to 1,000 RealEstate.com.au property listings per month for free**.

> 💡 **Predictable, All-Inclusive Pay-Per-Event Pricing:** There is a **`$0.00` run start fee** and **no separate proxy configuration required**. You only pay the flat per-result rate above for data successfully delivered to your dataset — works out of the box on both **Free** and **Paid** Apify plans.

### How many results can you scrape with RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper?

RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper can extract **thousands of Australian property listings per run** on paid Apify plans (up to 40 listings per run on the Free plan). Keep these tips in mind when scraping Australian suburbs:

- **Australian Auction & "Contact Agent" pricing conventions** — in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, many properties are marketed via public auction ("Auction", "Expressions of Interest", or "Contact Agent") rather than a fixed numeric asking price. The `price` field captures the exact price guide or auction label published by the listing agency.
- **Partition state-wide sweeps by suburb or 4-digit postcode** — realestate.com.au caps pagination at 80 pages (~2,000 properties) per individual search URL. When scraping an entire metro (like Greater Sydney or Melbourne), pass multiple suburb or postcode search URLs in `startUrls`.
- **Pair with Allhomes for ACT & NSW depth** — combine realestate.com.au with our **Allhomes Australia Property Scraper** for deep coverage of Canberra (ACT) and regional New South Wales.

### Frequently asked questions about RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper

**🏠 Does the scraper support /buy/, /rent/, and /sold/ URLs on realestate.com.au? <br>**
Yes. Pass any realestate.com.au /buy/, /rent/, or /sold/ search URL—including filters for property type (property-house, property-unit+apartment), price range, or minimum bedrooms.

**👔 Does each record include the listing agent and agency name? <br>**
Yes. Whenever published on the search card, `agent_name` and `agency` (such as Ray White, `McGrath`, or Belle Property) are extracted automatically.

**🛡️ Do I need to configure Australian residential proxies? <br>**
**No — everything works out of the box with zero setup.** Regional routing, session management, and anti-blocking are handled automatically so you do not need to configure custom proxy settings.

### Is it legal to scrape public property listings from realestate.com.au?

Our scrapers are ethical and only extract publicly available real estate listing facts (price guides, suburb and postcode labels, room/parking counts, and public agency attributions) displayed to visitors on realestate.com.au. They do not access private user accounts or personal data. For more details on the legality of web scraping, read Apify's guide on [is web scraping legal](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).
