Rightmove Scraper — UK Property Listings Data

Scrape property listings from Rightmove (rightmove.co.uk) — the UK's largest property portal — for both sales and rentals, and get clean, typed JSON: price as a number in GBP, weekly rents normalized to per-calendar-month, bedrooms/bathrooms, agent name and phone, coordinates, and the date each listing was added or reduced. No HTML parsing on your side.

What it does

• Crawls Rightmove search-result pages (24 listings per page request — fast and cheap; no detail-page fetches in v1).
• Reads the structured JSON embedded in each page (__NEXT_DATA__) instead of brittle CSS selectors — markup redesigns don't break extraction.
• Normalizes every value: "£425,000" → 425000, "£295 pw" → 1278.33 pcm, "Offers Over" → offers_over, "POA" → null price + poa qualifier, "Reduced on 06/05/2026" → 2026-05-06.
• Searches by plain UK place names (resolved through Rightmove's own location service) or accepts any Rightmove search URL you paste in.
• Typical uses: price tracking and comps, rental-yield analysis, lead generation from agent contacts, market dashboards, ML datasets, alerting on new listings in an area.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
searchUrls	array of strings	—	Full rightmove.co.uk search-result URLs (/property-for-sale/find.html or /property-to-rent/find.html). When set, the fields below are ignored; sale vs. rent is detected per URL.
locations	array of strings	["Manchester"]	Plain UK place names ("Leeds", "Bristol", "SW1A") — resolved automatically.
listingType	string	"sale"	"sale" or "rent".
propertyTypes	array	—	Optional filter: detached, semi-detached, terraced, flat, bungalow, land, park-home, private-halls.
minPrice / maxPrice	integer	—	Optional GBP bounds (sale: total price; rent: pcm).
includeSoldSTC	boolean	false	Include Sold STC / Let Agreed listings.
maxResults	integer	100	Hard cap per run (max 10,000). Free-plan users are capped at 50.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify datacenter proxy	Datacenter proxy works well for Rightmove.

Example input:

{
    "locations": ["Manchester"],
    "listingType": "sale",
    "maxResults": 100
}

Output sample

One dataset item per listing:

{
    "id": "88964910",
    "display_address": "Manchester Property Investment, Manchester City Centre, M1",
    "price_gbp": 375000,
    "price_qualifier": "offers_in_region_of",
    "listing_type": "sale",
    "rent_period": null,
    "property_type": "Apartment",
    "bedrooms": 3,
    "bathrooms": 3,
    "size_sqft": null,
    "agent_name": "RW Invest, Manchester",
    "agent_phone": "0161 524 4934",
    "added_or_reduced": "2026-05-06",
    "latitude": 53.4794,
    "longitude": -2.2453,
    "detail_url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/88964910#/?channel=RES_BUY",
    "image_count": 11,
    "scraped_at": "2026-06-12T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Field notes: price_gbp is the asking price for sales and the normalized monthly rent for rentals (weekly rents are converted at ×52⁄12; rent_period is always "pcm" for rentals). price_gbp is null for POA (price-on-application) listings — check price_qualifier. size_sqft, bedrooms, bathrooms, agent_phone, coordinates are null when Rightmove doesn't list them. Featured/premium listings that Rightmove repeats on the page are deduplicated — you are never charged twice for the same property.

Pricing & free-tier policy

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

Event	Price	When charged
Actor start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Automatically by Apify, once per run (per GB of memory)
Property listing (apify-default-dataset-item)	$1.50 / 1,000 items	Automatically by Apify, per default-dataset item

You only pay for listings that pass output-schema validation — malformed rows are never charged. Set Maximum cost per run in Apify Console to cap spend; the Actor stops gracefully at the limit and keeps everything scraped so far.

Free tier — stated plainly: users on the Apify free plan get up to 50 listings per run. The run still finishes successfully with a clear status message when the cap is reached. Any paid Apify plan unlocks the full 10,000-listings-per-run limit.

Limitations

• Search-result pages only (v1). Fields shown only on detail pages (full description, floorplans, EPC, tenure, price per sq ft, station distances) are not included yet.
• ~1,000 results per query — a Rightmove platform cap (42 pages × 24). To collect more, add more locations or split a city into narrower searches (the Actor handles multiple queries in one run).
• Politeness by design: pages are fetched sequentially with a randomized 2–5 s delay through rotating datacenter proxies.
• Data is scraped from public, logged-out Rightmove pages; listings change constantly, so treat results as a snapshot (scraped_at is on every row).
