Rightmove Property Scraper

Rightmove Property Scraper

Scrape property listings from Rightmove for sale or rent, up to a million per run. Every property comes with its price, bedrooms, location, description, and agent details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Rightmove is the UK's largest property portal, but its official data feeds are limited and require agreements. This Actor reads the public search results directly, filtered by price, bedrooms, property type, radius, and recency, and returns each listing in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape Rightmove for
Property investors	Which areas have the most reduced or newly listed properties this week

What it does

This Actor collects property listings from Rightmove by search URL or filter parameters, and returns each one as a flat row with price, address, description, and agent info.

• 🔍 Search by URL: Paste any Rightmove search URL and the Actor follows the pagination.
• ⚙️ Filter mode: Set location, channel (buy/rent), price range, bedrooms, radius, property types, and recency without a URL.
• 📅 Recency filter: Only collect properties added in the last 1, 3, 7, or 14 days.
• 📊 Sort options: Most Recent, Highest Price, Lowest Price, Most Reduced, or Featured.

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

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your Start URL is a valid Rightmove search URL, or that your filter fields are not conflicting. For example, a radius of 0 with no location may return nothing.

The Actor returns fewer properties than maxItems.

Rightmove limits search results to about 1,000 pages (roughly 25,000 properties). If your filters are narrow, the total available may be less than maxItems.

Can I use both Start URL and filters together?

No, the input schema says use one or the other. If you provide a Start URL, the filters are ignored.

The price field shows 0 for some listings.

Some properties, especially commercial or land, may not display a price on the listing page. Those entries will have price set to 0.

How do I scrape a specific postcode?

Use a Start URL from a Rightmove search for that postcode, or use the locationIdentifier from that URL in filter mode.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Rightmove account or API key?	No. The Actor reads public search results directly, so no login or API key is required.
Can I scrape properties for sale and to rent in the same run?	No, each run is either for sale (BUY) or to rent (RENT). Run the Actor twice with different channel settings to get both.
What does the Location Identifier mean and how do I find it?	It is a code like REGION^87490 that Rightmove uses internally. The easiest way is to use a Start URL instead, which already contains the location.
How many properties can I scrape per run?	Up to 1,000,000 properties per run. The maxItems field controls the limit.
Does the Actor handle pagination automatically?	Yes, it follows the next-page links on Rightmove until it reaches the maxItems limit or the end of results.
Can I filter by property type like flat or house?	Yes, use the propertyTypes field to select one or more types. Leave it empty for all types.
What does 'Include Sold STC' mean?	Sold STC means Sold Subject To Contract. Enabling this includes properties that have an accepted offer but are not yet completed.
What sort orders are available?	Most Recent, Highest Price, Lowest Price, Most Reduced, and Featured. The default is Most Recent.
Can I scrape properties from a specific agent?	Not directly via filters, but you can use a Start URL from that agent's Rightmove page.
Does the Actor return floor plans and photos?	Yes, it returns URLs to all photos and floor plans listed on the property page.
