Homegate Rental Listings Scraper (Homegate.ch)

Scrape rental and sale listings from Homegate.ch, a Swiss property portal. Paste a search URL or set city, canton, price and rooms filters, and get structured listings with CHF prices, GPS coordinates and agent contact.

Anti-Bot Protection Note

Homegate.ch uses DataDome anti-bot protection. The Actor manages its own proxy and anti-bot handling, so there is nothing to configure. If a run is blocked entirely it fails with a clear status message; running again usually helps.

Use with AI Agents (MCP)

Connect this actor to any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom agents.

Apify MCP server URL:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=santamaria-automations/homegate-scraper

Example prompt once connected:

"Use homegate-scraper to scrape property listings from homegate. Return results as a table."

Clients that support dynamic tool discovery (Claude.ai, VS Code) will receive the full input schema automatically via add-actor.

What You Get

• Prices in CHF (gross, net, extra costs)
• Location with address, city, postal code, canton, and GPS coordinates
• Property details — rooms, area in m², floor, property type
• Features — balcony, parking, elevator, dishwasher, pets allowed, and more
• Images — all listing photos with full URLs
• Description and availability — description text, available_from
• Agent (with includeDetails) — agent_name, agent_company, agent_phone, agent_logo_url, agent_url, project_url
• Listing metadata — listed_at, source_url, source_platform, scraped_at

How To Use

Option 1: Paste a search URL

Copy any Homegate.ch search URL directly from your browser:

https://www.homegate.ch/mieten/immobilien/ort-zuerich/trefferliste
https://www.homegate.ch/kaufen/immobilien/ort-bern/trefferliste
https://www.homegate.ch/mieten/immobilien/kanton-zuerich/trefferliste

Both URL styles work: the German browser style above (/mieten/ and /kaufen/) and the English style (/rent/ and /buy/, e.g. https://www.homegate.ch/rent/real-estate/city-zurich/matching-list). Any URL that is not /buy/ or /kaufen/ is treated as a rental search.

Option 2: Use filters

Set the listing type, city, canton, price range, and minimum rooms in the input fields.

Input Example

{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.homegate.ch/mieten/immobilien/ort-zuerich/trefferliste"],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "includeDetails": false
}

Filter example (rentals in Bern, 3+ rooms, up to CHF 2,500):

{
  "listingType": "rent",
  "city": "Bern",
  "priceMax": 2500,
  "roomsMin": 3,
  "maxResults": 50
}

What You Get Without Detail Pages

The search results already include rich data for every listing — no need to enable includeDetails in most cases:

• Title, price (gross), rooms, area, floor
• Full address, city, postal code, canton
• GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude)
• All listing images (15-20 per listing)
• Features (balcony, parking, elevator, etc.)
• Description text
• Listing date and source URL

Enable includeDetails to also get agent contact info (name, company, phone) and the price breakdown from the detail page. price_net (net rent) and price_extra (utilities) are copied from the search data when Homegate includes them, which is often not the case; without includeDetails they are frequently null. They are always null for buy listings.

Pricing

Pay-per-result pricing. You only pay for the data you receive.

Event	Price	Description
Listing scraped	$0.003	A property listing from search results
Detail page extracted	$0.008	Agent contact info and price breakdown from a listing page

Examples:

• 100 rental listings in Zurich = $0.30
• 500 listings across Switzerland = $1.50
• 100 listings with full details = $1.10

No monthly fees. No minimum spend.

FAQ

Do I need a proxy or login? No. Proxy handling is built in and no login is required.

How many listings can I get? Up to 10,000 per run (maxResults, default 100).

How fresh is the data? Each run reads Homegate live, so results reflect what is listed at run time; listed_at shows the listing date.

Can I get agent phone numbers? Yes, enable includeDetails; detail pages are billed separately (see Pricing).

Does it cover buy listings too? Yes, set listingType to buy or use a /kaufen/ URL.

Proxy

Proxy handling is built in and managed by the Actor. There is no proxy setting to configure.
