realestate.com.au API Scraper

Scrape realestate.com.au property listings — for sale, for rent, or sold — straight from the site's own private mobile API. Get full addresses, prices, geo-coordinates, all photos, floorplans, agent and agency contact details, and inspection times for any suburb or region in Australia, without HTML parsing or CAPTCHA fights. Just enter a location (e.g. "Richmond, VIC 3121" or "Bondi Beach") and run.

Because this Actor talks to the same GraphQL API that powers the realestate.com.au app instead of scraping rendered HTML, it returns clean, complete, structured data on every run — no broken CSS selectors, no missing fields when the site's frontend changes. Run it on demand, on a schedule, or wire it into your stack via the Apify API and integrations for Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack and more.

Why use this realestate.com.au scraper?

Whether you're building a property portal, feeding a CRM, or tracking a market, this Actor turns realestate.com.au into structured data you can act on:

• Real estate agents & agencies — pull competitor listings, prices, and agent contact details to prospect for new business.
• Buyers' agents & investors — monitor new listings and price movements across suburbs, filtered by beds/baths/price/parking.
• Proptech & data teams — feed listing data into valuation models, market dashboards, or lead-gen pipelines.
• Researchers & journalists — track sold prices and market trends over time.
• Developers — get accurate geo-coordinates and full media galleries for mapping and visualization projects.

How to scrape realestate.com.au listings

1. Click Try for free.
2. Enter a Location — a suburb, postcode, or region (e.g. Bondi Beach, Perth, Richmond, VIC 3121).
3. Pick a Channel: Buy, Rent, or Sold.
4. Optionally set filters — price range, minimum beds/baths/car spaces, and whether to include surrounding suburbs.
5. Click Start and download your results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML once the run finishes.

No coding required, but everything above is also available as JSON input via the Apify API if you want to trigger runs programmatically.

Input

Configure the run from the Input tab in Apify Console, or pass the equivalent JSON via the API:

Field	Description
location	Suburb, postcode, or region to search, e.g. "Richmond, VIC 3121".
channel	buy, rent, or sold.
maxItems	Cap on listings returned (0 = no limit, fetch every result).
priceMin / priceMax	Price range filter.
bedroomsMin / bathroomsMin / carsMin	Minimum beds / baths / car spaces.
surroundingSuburbs	Also include listings in neighboring suburbs.
includeDetails	Fetch full listing detail (all photos, description, features, agent & agency contact). Turn off for a faster, cheaper, address-and-price-only run.
proxyConfiguration	Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify's Residential (AU) proxy group, which is required — realestate.com.au blocks datacenter IPs.

Example input:

{
  "location": "Richmond, VIC 3121",
  "channel": "buy",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "bedroomsMin": 2,
  "includeDetails": true

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel from the Output tab, or pull it via the Dataset API.

Data table

Field	Description
id	realestate.com.au listing ID.
channel	buy, rent, or sold.
listingStatus	e.g. "For sale", "Under offer", "New development".
propertyType	House, Apartment, Townhouse, etc.
priceDisplay	Price as displayed on the listing (asking price, rent, or auction guide).
bedrooms / bathrooms / parkingSpaces / studies	General features.
landSize	Land area, when listed.
fullAddress / suburb / state / postcode	Address components.
latitude / longitude	Geo-coordinates.
title / description	Listing headline and full description.
propertyFeatures	List of feature tags (pool, air conditioning, etc.).
images	Full-resolution photo URLs.
agencyName / agencyAddress	Listing agency.
agents	Agent name, phone, photo, and profile URL.
inspections	Scheduled inspection times, when available.
url	Canonical realestate.com.au listing URL.

Listings that are missing the fields needed to build a valid url (rare, mostly incomplete new-development placeholders) are skipped rather than pushed with a broken link.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

• $1 per 1,000 listings — charged for every listing returned (address, price, images, agent — the shallow data).
• +$0.50 per 1,000 listings with full detail — charged only when includeDetails is on, for the extra description, feature list, and agency data.

Turn includeDetails off for address/price/geo-only runs at half the cost. Apify's free tier gives you monthly platform credit to try the Actor before committing to a paid plan.

Tips for optimizing your runs

• Set maxItems to the number of listings you actually need — the Actor stops as soon as it hits the cap, saving compute and event charges.
• Turn off includeDetails if you only need address, price, and coordinates — this roughly halves the per-listing cost and speeds up the run.
• Narrow the search with priceMin/priceMax and bedroomsMin/bathroomsMin/carsMin instead of filtering client-side — fewer irrelevant listings fetched means a faster, cheaper run.
• Use sold as the channel to track historical sale prices for market analysis instead of scraping current listings repeatedly.
• Schedule recurring runs (daily/weekly) via Apify Schedules to track new listings or price changes in a suburb over time.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape realestate.com.au? This Actor only collects publicly available listing data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with realestate.com.au's terms of service and applicable law (e.g. not republishing agent contact details for unsolicited marketing). This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to REA Group or realestate.com.au.

Why does it need a residential proxy? realestate.com.au's edge (Akamai) blocks datacenter IP ranges by reputation. The Actor defaults to Apify's Residential (AU) proxy group, which is required for reliable results.

Some listings are missing beds/baths/price. New-development and off-market listings often don't expose every field through the app's API the way standard resale listings do — the Actor returns null for fields that genuinely aren't present rather than guessing.
