Realestate.com.au Scraper: Buy, Rent & Sold Listings

Scrape realestate.com.au listings for many locations in one run: for sale, for rent and recently sold. Every listing comes with its address, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, land and building size, inspections and auction, rent availability, sold date, agency, agents, photos and floorplans.

Why this scraper

• Many searches per run. List searches (location + channel + filters), give locations with one set of filters, or paste search URLs from the site with any filters it offers.
• Buy, rent and sold in the same run.
• Up to ~2,000 listings per search (the site's own limit), every listing once, in the site's order.
• Pay only for results. A search that finds nothing costs nothing.

Input

A location is a suburb, postcode, city, region or state, as you'd type it on realestate.com.au (Bondi, NSW 2026, Perth, WA, Hobart).

Example: rentals and houses for sale

    {"location": "Perth, WA", "channel": "buy", "propertyTypes": ["house"], "minBedrooms": 3}
  ],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 200

A search with no listings is not charged, and the run stops at your spending limit without charging for anything it didn't deliver.

Tips

• Keep the default proxy (Apify residential, Australia). realestate.com.au is protected by Kasada; the scraper opens it in a real browser once and then pages through results quickly.
• Later runs start faster. The browser session is kept for about 20 minutes, so runs close together skip the browser step.
• More than ~2,000 results? Split the search by suburb, property type or price range.
• Market monitoring? Schedule the same input daily and compare by id.

FAQ

Which listings are included? The ones realestate.com.au shows for your search, including its "nearby" suggestions unless you turn them off.

Can I run it on a schedule or through the API? Yes, like any Apify Actor: schedules, the Apify API, webhooks and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets and others).

Is it legal? The Actor collects publicly shown listings; it doesn't log in. Listings include agents' names as published by the agencies. You are responsible for using the data in line with realestate.com.au's terms and the privacy laws that apply to you.
