🇬🇧 Rightmove UK Real Estate Scraper — Property Listings & Comps

Scrape Rightmove (UK's largest property portal — 60M+ visits / month) for sale or rental listings.

FAQ

Q: Do I need a Rightmove account or API key? A: No. The scraper reads the publicly visible search results pages.

Q: Can I scrape rentals? A: Yes — set searchType: "rent". Rent listings expose extra fields like let_available_date and rent frequency.

Q: How do I find a good searchUrl? A: Build the search you want on rightmove.co.uk (filters, radius, bedrooms, price), then copy the resulting URL into searchUrl.

Q: Does this include sold prices? A: No — sold prices come from the Land Registry / "Sold Prices" path. This actor covers the live for-sale and to-rent listings.

Q: How fresh are listings? A: Live — Rightmove pushes new listings within minutes of agents adding them. Use the first_visible_date / listing_update_date fields to dedupe vs. your last run.

Q: Will it return 1000 listings every time? A: Up to your maxResults cap, or until pagination ends (Rightmove caps total pages around 1000–1500 for very broad searches; narrow with location/radius/bedrooms to cover fully).

Q: Does this work for commercial property? A: This actor targets residential. Commercial Rightmove uses a different URL path; ping us if you'd like a commercial variant.
