📌 Universal Real Estate Extractor — Site Compatibility Notes Supported Use Cases

The Universal Real Estate Extractor is designed to extract structured real estate listing data from a wide range of public property websites using a generic, configuration-driven approach.

Core capabilities include:

CSS selector–based extraction

Optional Playwright rendering for JavaScript-heavy sites

Pagination handling

Structured, machine-readable output for analysis, monitoring, and automation

This Actor works best on:

Agency and brokerage websites

Property listing portals with standard HTML or moderate JavaScript rendering

Regional and niche real estate platforms

Public listing pages without aggressive anti-bot enforcement.

⚠️ Limitations (Read Before Use)

Some large, enterprise-grade real estate platforms employ advanced anti-bot and fingerprinting protections that prevent reliable extraction using generic automation tools.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Zillow

Redfin

Similar large-scale real estate marketplaces

These platforms often rely on:

Private or undocumented API / GraphQL data loading

Session-bound request signatures

Behavioral and browser fingerprint detection

As a result:

Listing data may not be present in the rendered DOM

Pages may load partially or return empty content

Proxies alone may not resolve these restrictions

This Actor does not implement site-specific bypass techniques, as it is intentionally designed to remain:

Universal

Stable

Apify Store–compliant

Suitable for long-term automation

Recommended Approach for Restricted Sites

For platforms with advanced protections:

Use this Actor for monitoring, metadata extraction, or availability signals

Consider building site-specific extractors for private or contract-based use cases

Contact the Actor author if a dedicated, custom solution is required

Why This Design Choice Matters

This Actor prioritizes:

Reliability over brittle hacks

Honest outputs over false positives

Broad compatibility over single-site specialization

This approach ensures:

High run success rates

Predictable automation behavior

Safe usage in scheduled and production workflows

Need a Custom Extractor?

If you require a site-specific real estate scraper (e.g. Zillow-only, API-based, or contract-level extraction), please reach out for a custom solution outside this universal Actor.
