Fotocasa Scraper: Spain property listings, price per m² and price drops

Scrape Fotocasa.es, one of Spain's largest real estate portals, without an account, cookies or a browser. Paste a search URL with your filters, or give a city, town or province with contract (sale, rent or room share), property type, price, surface, bedrooms and bathrooms. Every listing comes with price, price per m², surface, bedrooms, bathrooms, floor, district and neighbourhood, coordinates, amenities, the full description, every photo, the agency and the price cut Fotocasa shows on the listing.

Built for daily monitoring: schedule the same search every morning and get only the listings that are new, plus the ones whose price changed, with the previous price and the drop in euros and percent. A quiet day costs nothing.

From a test run on 2026-10-06 (location "Barcelona", rent, newest first, full listing pages on), shortened:

A listing that Fotocasa marks as reduced carries the cut too, for example "isPriceReduced": true, "priceReducedBy": 20000, "originalPrice": 895000, "price": 875000.

What you can do with it

• Investors: watch Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia every morning for new listings under a price per m², and catch every price drop on what you already saw (onlyNew + trackPriceChanges).
• Agencies and brokers: follow new listings and price cuts in your area, and see which agencies publish the most in each district.
• Relocation and rental search: a daily alert of new rentals in Barcelona, Madrid or Malaga that match budget, size and bedrooms, straight into Slack, e-mail or Google Sheets.
• Price per m² research: median rent or sale price per m² by district and neighbourhood, by property type or energy class, for valuation, market reports and dashboards.
• Datasets and AI: clean, typed rows (numbers as numbers, dates as ISO) with coordinates, ready for maps and models.

Input

Field	What it does
startUrls	Fotocasa search URLs with your filters (every filter in the URL is kept), or listing URLs (ending in /<id>/d, returned with the full page)
locations	Spanish cities, towns or provinces (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Marbella, Malaga provincia, Spain); one search each
contract	sale (default), rent or roomShare (rooms in shared flats)
propertyType	homes (all residential, default), garage, land, commercial, office, storage, building
minPrice, maxPrice	Euros (monthly rent for rentals)
minSurface, maxSurface	Square metres
minRooms, maxRooms	Bedrooms
minBathrooms	Bathrooms
sellerType	any (default), agency or private
sortBy	newest (default), relevance, priceLowToHigh, priceHighToLow
maxItems	Listings per search, default 50. 0 = up to 10,000
includeDetails	Also read each listing page (energy certificate, features, agency website), charged as a separate event
onlyNew	Deliver only listings not delivered in earlier runs of the same search
trackPriceChanges	Add the price from the previous run and the change; with onlyNew, also deliver seen listings whose price changed
onlyPriceDrops	With onlyNew and trackPriceChanges: of the seen listings, only price drops
proxyConfiguration	Default Apify Proxy (datacenter)

Example: new rentals in Barcelona up to 2,000 euros with at least 2 bedrooms, every morning:

{
  "locations": ["Barcelona"],
  "contract": "rent",
  "maxPrice": 2000,
  "minRooms": 2,
  "maxItems": 100,
  "onlyNew": true,
  "trackPriceChanges": true
}

Or paste the search from your browser:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l?maxPrice=400000&minRooms=2"],
  "maxItems": 200
}

How daily monitoring works

The Actor remembers each search (same URL or same location and filters) in a named key-value store in your own account, fotocasa-scraper-state: listing id, last price, first and last time seen.

• onlyNew: the first run delivers up to maxItems and marks everything it read as seen. Later runs read the newest listings first and stop when they reach listings already seen. A day with nothing new delivers nothing and costs nothing.
• trackPriceChanges: every row gets isNewListing, previousPrice, priceChange, priceChangePct, isPriceDrop, firstSeenAt and previousSeenAt. maxItems then counts listings checked, so the cost of a daily run stays flat.
• Both on: you get new listings plus listings seen before whose price changed. Older listings that the first run never reached are recorded as a price baseline, not delivered as "new".
• Delete the key-value store to start over.

Output

Every listing row: id, url, title, contract (sale, rent, roomShare), propertyType, propertySubtype, category, price, currency, pricePeriod (month for rentals), isPriceReduced, priceReducedBy, originalPrice, pricePerSqm, surfaceSqm, rooms (bedrooms), bathrooms, floor (ground floor, mezzanine, 1, 2...), amenities, city, district, neighbourhood, province, region, zipCode, street (agency listings), latitude, longitude, description, mainPhoto, photos, photoCount, hasVideo, hasVirtualTour, hasFloorPlans, advertiserType (agency, private or other), agencyName, agencyId, agencyUrl, agencyLogo, isNewConstruction, isOccupied, isAuction, isBareOwnership, isRentedWithTenants, isTemporaryRental, isOpportunity, isHighlighted (paid placement), publishedAt (Madrid time), position, searchUrl, scrapedAt.

With price tracking: isNewListing, previousPrice, priceChange, priceChangePct, isPriceDrop, firstSeenAt, previousSeenAt.

With full listing pages (hasDetails: true): energyClass, energyConsumptionKwhM2Year, emissionsClass, emissionsKgCo2M2Year, energyCertificateStatus, typology, orientation, parking, elevator, furnished, occupancyStatus, extraFeatures (Fotocasa's own labels, in Spanish), constructionType (secondHand or new), plotSurfaceSqm, agencyWebsite, referenceCode, createdAt. If a listing page cannot be read, the row still comes with hasDetails: false and detailsError, and only the listing is charged.

No advertiser contact data, by design. For agencies (companies) you get the agency's name, id, page and logo. For private owners you get only advertiserType: "private": never a name, phone or e-mail, and the location stops at district, neighbourhood and postcode (no street, coordinates rounded to about 1 km), because a private listing can be the owner's own home. Phone numbers are never returned for anyone, and phone numbers and e-mail addresses inside the description text are replaced with [contact removed]. Use the listing url to contact the advertiser through Fotocasa.

Error codes (never charged)

errorCode	Meaning
INVALID_INPUT	A value the Actor does not understand (minimum above maximum, unknown property type, a URL that is not a Fotocasa search or listing)
NOT_FOUND	Fotocasa has no search page for this place, or the listing was removed
NO_RESULTS	No listing for this search and filters
BLOCKED	Fotocasa's firewall refused every attempt on new IPs; run again or use the RESIDENTIAL proxy group
NOT_REACHED	The run timeout arrived before this search or listing
UNEXPECTED	A page came in a shape we did not expect; the rest of the run goes on

Pricing

Event	Per 1,000
Listing delivered	US$ 0.60
Full listing page (only with includeDetails or listing URLs)	US$ 0.60

A daily onlyNew run on a busy Madrid search that finds 60 new listings costs about US$ 0.04; with full listing pages, about US$ 0.07. Error rows, duplicates, listings already seen, listings with an unchanged price and listings filtered out by sellerType are free, and there is no start fee.

Limitations

• Fotocasa has no agency or private filter in its search, so sellerType filters the pages the Actor reads: a search for private owners reads more pages to fill maxItems.
• Fotocasa sits behind a firewall. On a bad day a search may come back as BLOCKED (free): run it again.
• Labels from the listing page (extraFeatures) and descriptions are in Spanish, as the advertiser wrote them.
• A city name searches the city itself (Madrid capital, Barcelona capital). For the province, add "provincia"; for a district or a drawn area, set it on the site and paste the URL.
• This Actor reads public pages only.

FAQ

Do I need a Fotocasa account or a Spanish IP? No. No login, no cookies, and the default datacenter proxy works.

Can I paste a search from my browser? Yes, in Spanish, English, Catalan or German. Price, surface, bedrooms, bathrooms, zone, property type and sort in the URL are kept.

How is price per m² computed? price / surfaceSqm as published on the listing. For rentals it is the monthly rent per m².

How do I get an alert only when a price drops? Turn on onlyNew, trackPriceChanges and onlyPriceDrops, schedule the Task daily and send the dataset to your integration.

Can I use it from n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent? Yes, through the Apify app or the Apify MCP server. Error rows are free, so an agent can explore cheaply.

What if a run is cut by its timeout? The Actor stops shortly before the limit and ends successfully with what it delivered, telling you in the status message how to get the rest.
