Trovit Homes Scraper

Extract rental and for-sale property listings from Trovit Homes — a leading real-estate aggregator that collects listings from hundreds of portals and classified sites into a single search interface.

What does this Actor do?

The Trovit Homes Scraper crawls Trovit Homes search result pages and outputs structured data for every listing found. Because Trovit is a search-result aggregator (SERP), all the key details — title, price, location, bedroom count, size, description, and image — are embedded directly in the search-result cards. No separate detail-page visit is required, making the scraper fast and efficient.

For each listing the Actor collects:

• id — Trovit's internal unique identifier for the property
• title — Listing headline as shown on the card
• propertyType — Property category (e.g. Apartment, House, Studio)
• priceText — Raw price string as shown on the page (e.g. USD 795/month)
• price — Parsed numeric price value
• currency — Detected currency code (USD, GBP, EUR, BRL)
• location — City, county, or region where the property is listed
• bedrooms — Number of bedrooms (parsed from card text)
• bathrooms — Number of bathrooms (parsed from card text)
• sizeSqFt — Floor area in square feet (parsed from card text)
• features — Array of amenity/feature tags shown on the card (e.g. Air conditioning, Garden, Parking)
• description — Snippet description from the listing card
• imageUrl — Direct URL to the listing thumbnail image
• updatedText — Recency label (e.g. 26 days ago, Today)
• clickUrl — Outbound tracking link (to the originating portal)
• searchUrl — The Trovit search page the listing was found on

Frequently asked questions

Does the Actor visit individual property portals? No. Trovit embeds all listing metadata in its search-result cards. The Actor never navigates to the third-party portal links.

Can I scrape multiple searches at once? Yes — add multiple URLs to the Start URLs field. Each URL gets its own independent maxItems counter.

Why do I need a proxy? Trovit Homes returns HTTP 401 for requests from many data-centre and residential IP ranges. Apify datacenter proxies (the default) work reliably for homes.trovit.com.

Will it work for all Trovit country domains? The Actor validates the hostname against all known Trovit Homes country domains listed in the table above.
