Century 21 Real Estate Scraper

Century 21 Real Estate Scraper

Scrape Century 21 real estate listings by city, state, or direct URL, up to a million properties per run. Every listing returns its price, beds, baths, square footage, property type, and full detail page data when enabled. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Century 21's public property search is a primary source for residential real estate listings across the United States, but manually copying listing data is slow and error-prone. This Century 21 scraper reads the public search results and individual property pages directly, letting you collect structured real estate data without writing any code.

Filter by location, price range, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and property type, then receive every matching listing in a clean, flat dataset ready for analysis.

What it does

This Actor collects Century 21 real estate listings from city searches or direct listing URLs and returns each property as a flat row with price, beds, baths, square footage, property type, and optional full detail page data.

• 🏙️ Location search: enter a city and state like 'New York, NY' to scrape all listings in that area.
• 🔗 Direct URL input: paste any Century 21 search results URL to scrape exactly that page and its pagination.
• 💰 Price filters: set minimum and maximum price in USD to narrow results to your budget range.
• 🛏️ Bed and bath filters: specify minimum bedrooms and bathrooms to target specific property sizes.
• 📐 Square footage range: filter by minimum and maximum interior square footage.
• 🏠 Property type selection: limit results to Single Family, Condo, Townhouse, Multi-Family, Land, or Other.
• 📄 Full detail pages: optionally scrape each property's detail page for complete descriptions, features, and photos.
• ⚡ Listing card mode: skip detail pages for faster runs when you only need summary data from search results.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your Location spelling matches Century 21's format exactly, like 'New York, NY'. If using a Start URL, verify the URL still works by opening it in a browser. Also confirm your filters are not too restrictive: a high Min Price combined with a low Max Price may return zero matches.

Why is the scraper getting blocked or returning errors?

Century 21 blocks datacenter proxies. Make sure your proxy configuration is set to US residential proxies. If you are already using residential proxies, try reducing Max Concurrency to 1 to slow down requests and appear more like a normal browser.

Why is the run taking so long?

Full detail mode visits every listing's individual page, which multiplies the number of requests. Switch Include Full Property Details to off for faster runs that collect only search result card data. You can also reduce Max Items to limit the total listings scraped.

Why are some fields empty in my results?

Not every Century 21 listing includes all fields. Some sellers omit square footage, and listing card mode does not include detail-page fields like descriptions or agent info. Enable Include Full Property Details to capture more complete data per listing.

Can I scrape sold or off-market properties?

This scraper collects active listings visible in Century 21's public search results. Sold and off-market properties are not available through the public search interface and cannot be scraped.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Century 21 account or API key to use this scraper?	No. This scraper reads Century 21's publicly accessible listing pages. No account, API key, or registration is required.
Can I scrape listings from a specific city?	Yes. Use the Location field with a city and state like 'Miami, FL' and the scraper will search and paginate through all listings in that area.
How do I scrape a specific search results URL I already have?	Paste your Century 21 search URL into the Start URL field. The scraper will use that exact URL and ignore any location or filter settings.
What is the difference between listing card mode and full detail mode?	Listing card mode returns the summary data visible on search pages: price, beds, baths, square footage, and address. Full detail mode visits each property's page to collect descriptions, features, photos, and agent information, but runs slower.
Why do I need residential proxies?	Century 21 blocks requests from datacenter IP addresses. US residential proxies make your requests appear to come from real home internet connections, which Century 21 allows.
How many listings can I scrape in one run?	Free Apify users can scrape up to 100 listings. Paid users can set Max Items up to 1,000,000 per run.
Can I filter listings by price range?	Yes. Set Min Price and Max Price in USD to return only listings within your budget. Both fields are optional.
Does this scraper work for Century 21 websites outside the United States?	This scraper is built for century21.com, which covers US listings. Century 21 operates country-specific sites with different structures that this Actor does not support.
What export formats are supported?	Your dataset can be exported to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform after the run completes.
Can I schedule this scraper to run automatically?	Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs at intervals you configure, so you can collect new Century 21 listings daily or weekly without manual effort.
