Realtor.ca Scraper — Listings, Details & Agents

Realtor.ca Scraper extracts Canadian property listings, full property-page details, REALTOR agent profiles, and brokerage contacts from public Realtor.ca pages. Use it for Canadian housing research, property monitoring, brokerage intelligence, and compliant real-estate lead workflows. Do not use it for US realtor.com data or private MLS fields. It returns one normalized record per listing or agent with stable, MCP-friendly fields and charges $0.005 per record returned plus the small Actor-start event.

The Actor accepts Realtor.ca map searches, city real-estate pages, individual property pages, city/province REALTOR directories, and individual agent profiles. It automatically recognizes each URL type, uses a real browser with consistent Canadian proxy sessions, captures Realtor.ca JSON search responses when available, and falls back to public DOM and JSON-LD data when the internal response shape changes.

What data can I extract with Realtor.ca Scraper?

Data group	Included fields
Listing identity	propertyId, mlsNumber, listingUrl, address
Price and layout	price, currency, bedrooms, bathrooms, sizeInterior
Property classification	propertyType, buildingType, ownershipType
Full page details	description, timeOnRealtor, features, imageUrls
Map data	latitude, longitude when present in the captured search payload
Listing agent	agentId, agentName, agentTitle, agentPhone, profile and website URLs
Brokerage	officeName, officeAddress, officePhone, officeWebsite
Agent profile	languages, specialties, tradingAreas, public social links
Provenance	recordType, sourceUrl, sourceSearchUrl, scrapedAt, warnings

Optional fields are always present as null, [], or {}. This consistent shape is useful for database imports and for AI agents using the Apify MCP server, because consumers do not need to guess whether an absent key means “not available” or “parser failure.”

Realtor.ca Scraper use cases

• Monitor new Canadian property listings within a saved map boundary.
• Build market snapshots by MLS number, property type, price, bedrooms, or brokerage.
• Enrich listing summaries with public descriptions, photos, property facts, and agent contacts.
• Research REALTOR coverage, languages, specialties, and trading areas in a Canadian city.
• Compare brokerage inventory or create internal dashboards for mortgage, inspection, staging, and PropTech teams.
• Schedule repeat runs and compare datasets to detect listing additions, removals, and price changes.
• Give an AI agent a narrow Realtor.ca search/detail tool with predictable input, output, and billing.

This Actor does not provide sold-history databases, owner identities, buyer or tenant data, private broker remarks, showing instructions, or any other login-only MLS information.

How to use Realtor.ca Scraper

1. Open Realtor.ca and configure the map, city search, property page, or REALTOR directory you need.
2. Copy the resulting URL into startUrls.
3. Set maxResults to your required record and billing cap.
4. Leave detail enrichment enabled for richer records, or disable it for the fastest search-card export.
5. Run the Actor and export its dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or JSONL.

Supported URL examples

https://www.realtor.ca/map#ZoomLevel=10&Center=45.25%2C-75.79&...
https://www.realtor.ca/on/toronto/real-estate
https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/30023436/example-listing
https://www.realtor.ca/realtors/ab/edmonton
https://www.realtor.ca/agent/1946468/example-agent

The scraper is Canada-only. A realtor.com URL is rejected with a soft, actionable status message rather than being sent to the wrong extractor.

Input

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/realtors/ab/edmonton" },
    { "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/on/ottawa/real-estate" }
  ],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "enrichPropertyDetails": true,
  "enrichAgentProfiles": true,
  "responseFormat": "detailed"
}

Input	Default	Notes
startUrls	Small Ottawa map search	One or more supported Realtor.ca URLs
maxResults	10	Hard cap across all URLs; range 1–1000
enrichPropertyDetails	true	Visits each listing page for full public details
enrichAgentProfiles	true	Visits each agent page for qualifications and office data
responseFormat	detailed	concise keeps core fields; detailed adds bounded enrichment

Proxy, concurrency, retry, and fingerprint settings are intentionally managed by the Actor. Realtor.ca is protected by Imperva and can reject datacenter or inconsistent sessions; exposing these settings would make successful runs harder for most users and AI agents.

The OUTPUT key in the default key-value store contains the final run summary: pushed listing/agent counts, source modes, failed URLs, warnings, runtime, response format, charge count, and billed result-event total.

How much does scraping Realtor.ca cost?

The Actor uses transparent pay-per-event billing:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005, scaled by allocated memory
Schema-valid listing or agent record	$0.005

Examples: 10 records cost about $0.05, 100 records cost $0.50, and 1,000 records cost $5.00, plus the small start event and any platform usage option shown by Apify. The Actor prints the maximum result-event cost before scraping and charges only after a valid record has been stored. maxResults, Apify’s paid-dataset cap, and the run’s total-charge cap are all enforced before another charge can occur.

API and MCP examples

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('muhammadafzal/realtor-ca-api-scraper').call({
  startUrls: [{ url: 'https://www.realtor.ca/realtors/ab/edmonton' }],
  maxResults: 25,
  enrichAgentProfiles: true,
  responseFormat: 'concise'
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('MY_APIFY_TOKEN')
run = client.actor('muhammadafzal/realtor-ca-api-scraper').call(run_input={
    'startUrls': [{'url': 'https://www.realtor.ca/on/toronto/real-estate'}],
    'maxResults': 20,
    'responseFormat': 'detailed',
})
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items

For MCP clients, configure https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=muhammadafzal/realtor-ca-api-scraper. The concise response format is best when the agent needs to compare many records; detailed format is better for analyzing a small number of properties or agents.

Reliability and limits

Realtor.ca can present Imperva/GeoTest challenges. The Actor uses a low-concurrency Playwright browser, Canadian residential proxy sessions, persistent cookies, browser fingerprints, retries, session retirement on 403/429 responses, a canary page, and partial-result preservation. Search extraction uses two layers: intercepted Realtor.ca JSON when available and stable public card selectors as a fallback. Property pages additionally use JSON-LD and labeled public detail sections.

Fields vary by listing and real-estate board. Missing optional values remain null rather than being guessed. A detail-page failure returns the already captured search-card record with a warning when that is truthful. If every request is blocked, the run fails honestly instead of returning a misleading empty success.
