Homegate.ch Swiss Real Estate Scraper

Homegate.ch Swiss Real Estate Scraper

Scrape property listings from Homegate.ch — one of Switzerland's leading real-estate portals — into clean, structured JSON. The Homegate.ch Swiss Real Estate Scraper pulls the price, rooms, area, floor, full address, canton, GPS coordinates, features, and every listing image for any city, canton, or pasted search URL, with no login and no Homegate API.

Paste a Homegate.ch search URL, or build one from listing type, city, canton, price, and rooms, and get a structured record per property — price, rooms, area, floor, address, GPS coordinates, features, and 15–20 images per listing straight from the search results, with agent contact info available on request.

What does the Homegate.ch Swiss Real Estate Scraper do?

Homegate.ch lists tens of thousands of Swiss apartments, houses, and commercial properties for rent and for sale. There is no public Homegate API — this Homegate scraper reads the site's own search data instead. For every property in a search it extracts:

• 💶 Pricing — gross price, and (with includeDetails) net rent and extra costs (Nebenkosten) separately.
• 📐 Size — living area in m², room count in the Swiss half-room system, and floor.
• 📍 Location — full street address, city, postal code, canton, and GPS coordinates.
• 🏷️ Features — balcony, parking, elevator, washing machine, pets allowed, Minergie, and more.
• 🖼️ Media — every listing image (typically 15–20 per property), already in the search results.
• 👤 Advertiser — agent or agency name, company, phone, logo, and website (with includeDetails).
• 📅 Freshness — the listing date and the direct listing URL.

Common uses: Swiss real-estate market research, rent and price benchmarking by canton or city, private-buyer or renter lead sourcing, and building a property dataset or price-tracking dashboard.

Use cases

• Rent and price benchmarking — compare prices per m² across cities and cantons.
• Private-buyer / renter lead sourcing — collect fresh listings the moment they're posted.
• Portfolio and portal seeding — feed a property-comparison site with Homegate inventory.
• Agency monitoring — track what a specific agency lists, at what price, with includeDetails.
• Market dashboards — schedule daily runs and chart supply and pricing over time.

How it works

1. URL — the scraper uses your searchUrls, or builds one from listingType, propertyType, city, or canton.
2. Listing — it reads each result page's server-rendered data (20 listings per page): price, rooms, area, address, coordinates, features, and images.
3. Paginate — it walks through pages until maxResults, maxPagesPerTask, or the end of the results.
4. Filter — price and room-count bounds run in memory over the fetched listings.
5. Detail — when includeDetails is on, each listing's page is opened for agent contact info and the net-rent / extra-costs breakdown.
6. Rows stream to the dataset.

How much does it cost to scrape Homegate.ch?

This actor is pay per result with two events.

Event	Price per 1,000
listing-scraped — every saved listing	Free $1.39 · Bronze $1.29 · Silver $1.19 · Gold $0.99
listing-detail-scraped — additional, only with includeDetails	Free $5.99 · Bronze $5.49 · Silver $4.99 · Gold $4.49

A small platform Actor start fee also applies per run. Scraping 1,000 listings without details on the Free plan costs about $1.39; with includeDetails on, each listing also adds the detail-event price. maxResults caps the billed rows.

FAQ

Do I need a Homegate account or API key? No. The scraper reads public Homegate.ch search pages only. Homegate has no public API — this actor is the alternative.

Why does proxyConfiguration matter so much here? Homegate.ch runs DataDome bot protection and blocks datacenter IPs outright. Swiss residential proxy is set by default and is required for reliable runs.

Do I need includeDetails to get images, coordinates, or features? No. The search results already carry full address, GPS coordinates, all images, features, and description. includeDetails only adds agent contact info and the net-rent / extra-costs price split.

Where do canton values come from? When includeDetails is on, the canton comes directly from the listing's own detail page. Otherwise it's resolved live from the listing's postal code — not a hardcoded table.

Why did my price or room filter return fewer listings than expected? Homegate does not expose price or room count as URL filters, so priceMin/Max and roomsMin/Max run after fetching. A listing that omits its price is dropped by a min/max bound — set bounds to 0 to see everything.

Something's not working. Open an issue on the Issues tab with your input and the run link — we respond quickly.

Is it legal to scrape Homegate.ch?

Homegate.ch listing pages are public information that any visitor can see without logging in. Scraping publicly available pages is legal in most jurisdictions, and this actor does not access private data or bypass any login. You are responsible for how you use the data — follow Homegate's Terms of Use and the Swiss FADP / GDPR when handling any personal data, and consult a lawyer if you are unsure. See Apify's guide on the legality of web scraping.
