Comparis.ch Property And Car Scraper

Extract Swiss property listings from Comparis immobilien URLs and vehicle listings from Comparis carfinder URLs. The actor supports en, de, fr, and it language URL patterns such as https://en.comparis.ch/immobilien/result/list and https://fr.comparis.ch/carfinder/marktplatz. German de URLs are auto-healed to the working German host when Comparis serves German content from www.comparis.ch. It keeps property extraction HTTP-first and uses a Firefox browser only for JSON hydration when Comparis serves the data client-side, so both branches stay data-driven instead of relying on DOM scraping.

Features

• Dual-mode support — Scrape both Comparis real estate listings and Comparis carfinder listings
• Language-aware URL handling — Auto-detect and preserve en, de, fr, and it URL variants, including auto-healing German de URLs to the working German host
• URL-driven workflow — Start from a result page URL or a single detail page URL for either category
• Optional detail enrichment — Enrich property and car results with detail-page payloads when enabled
• Pagination control — Limit result pages and output volume for validation runs or larger datasets
• Clean output — Null-only fields are removed from dataset items for cleaner downstream usage

Tips for Best Results

Use Real Comparis URLs

• Start from real Comparis result pages that already contain the filters you want
• Keep the property requestobject intact when copying real estate URLs from the browser
• For vehicles, pass the exact carfinder result or detail URL you want to scrape

Control the Crawl Size

• Use results_wanted: 20 for quick validation runs
• Increase max_pages only when you need more breadth from one search

Enable Detail Enrichment Only When Needed

• Keep includeDetails off for the fastest and most stable runs
• Turn it on only when you need extended facts beyond the list payload

Proxy Usage

• Apify Proxy is recommended for cloud runs and is enabled by default in the input schema
• The carfinder branch uses Firefox with proxy support because Comparis serves the JSON payload client-side there
• You can still override proxyConfiguration if you want a different proxy setup
