Aus Properties and Details Scraper

This Actor is designed to parse public Australian property listing and search pages that expose JSON-LD or property cards. Its intended output fields cover listing identity, title, address, suburb, state, postcode, asking or sale price, currency, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, land and floor areas, agent details, features, photos, and listing URL. Live extraction from the configured realestate.com.au page has not been verified; see Access and reliability.

How to use

Provide one or more official HTTPS realestate.com.au listing or search URLs in listingUrls. A search page can yield multiple property cards, while a detail URL normally yields one richer record. maxItems is a hard output limit. The Actor makes no source request by default: the configured Chrome page remained blank and inconclusive, so set sourceAccessConfirmed only after the page is readable in Chrome and applicable source terms permit the intended collection and storage. This checkbox is an operator attestation, not permission. The Actor does not log in, bypass access controls, solve CAPTCHAs, or collect private information.

The source page is retained as sourceUrl so a record can be traced back to the page used for discovery. listingUrl is the canonical property URL when the page provides one. Relative links and image paths are resolved to absolute URLs. Prices are numeric when a page exposes them, while the original display string is kept in priceText; ranges use priceMin and priceMax. Dates such as datePosted are normalized to ISO 8601.

Input example

{
  "listingUrls": [
    "https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-australia/list-1"
  ],
  "maxItems": 25
}

Output example

The following values are synthetic and illustrate the output shape only; they were not observed on a live listing page.

{
  "recordType": "property-listing",
  "id": "property:145678901",
  "listingId": "145678901",
  "listingType": "buy",
  "propertyType": "House",
  "title": "Contemporary family home in Hawthorn East",
  "address": "14 Garden Street, Hawthorn East, VIC, 3123",
  "priceText": "1650000",
  "priceMin": 1650000,
  "priceMax": 1650000,
  "currency": "AUD",
  "bedrooms": 4,
  "bathrooms": 2,

}

Run status

OUTPUT_SUMMARY.status is SUCCEEDED or FAILED; runStatus and collectionStatus are COMPLETED, PARTIAL, FAILED, or SKIPPED_POLICY. The summary includes bounded generic failureReasons, or a policyReason for a no-request policy skip. An explicit empty result succeeds with zero records. An unrecognized page or a failure with no saved property rows fails; if real rows were saved first, the run remains SUCCEEDED/PARTIAL. The dataset contains property listings only; errors are never emitted as diagnostic or placeholder records. Offline tests use synthetic data and do not verify live source extraction.

Optional values are consistently null or empty arrays when the page does not publish them. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect it to an integration in the Apify Console. Always respect the source website's terms, robots guidance, rate limits, privacy obligations, and local property-data rules.

Access and reliability

Live source verification is currently incomplete. On 2026-09-27, connected Chrome opened the configured realestate.com.au URL but showed a blank white viewport with no readable listing structure. This does not establish whether the cause is the source, network, or browser rendering. There are no saved dataset rows to compare with the 28-field schema. No source-based enrichment was made; see AGENTS.md and BROWSER_REVIEW.md. The Actor does not follow redirects or impersonate Chrome. The checked-in parser tests use synthetic data and verify parsing logic only; they are not evidence of a successful live scrape.
