Homestra Property Scraper

What does Homestra Property Scraper do?

Homestra Property Scraper collects public property listings from Homestra search pages and returns structured real estate data for research, monitoring, lead generation, and investment analysis. Enter a Homestra listing URL, set the result and page limits, and receive property details including prices, locations, specifications, amenities, agencies, and image URLs in an Apify dataset.

The Actor supports Homestra sale and rental listing routes across the countries available on the website. Each saved record includes the direct property URL and the listing page where it was found, making the output easier to audit and reuse.

Why use Homestra Property Scraper?

• Market research - Compare asking prices, property types, sizes, and inventory across countries or regions.
• Property monitoring - Run repeat collections to track new listings and changes in available stock.
• Lead generation - Build datasets containing listing URLs, addresses, agencies, and contact website fields when published.
• Investment screening - Filter exported records by price, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, condition, and location.
• Analysis-ready output - Use clean JSON records with empty values removed and image URLs stored in a simple array.
• Workflow integration - Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or connect runs to downstream tools through Apify integrations.

How to use Homestra Property Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Paste a public Homestra listing URL into startUrl.
3. Set results_wanted and max_pages for the size of the collection.
4. Start the run.
5. Review the dataset and export it in the format required by your workflow.

Use a list page rather than an individual property page. The URL should remain on the homestra.com domain and include a supported country route.

Tips for Best Results

• Use a complete Homestra list URL that includes the listing type and country.
• Start with results_wanted set to 20 to check the dataset before larger runs.
• Increase max_pages when you need broader coverage of a country or category.
• Keep the result limit and page limit aligned with the amount of inventory you need.
• Treat missing optional values as source-data limitations. Homestra may not publish every amenity, agency field, or coordinate for every listing.
