Use Cases

Market Intelligence

Project Research

Collect new launch and project listings together with pricing bands, configuration details, and seller information. Use the results to study project positioning and launch activity in target markets.

Lead Sourcing Preparation

Usage Examples

Basic Extraction

Collect the first 20 listings from a Housing.com search page:

{
	"startUrl": "https://housing.com/in/buy/searches/M8vPskwz0ocdh7q42r5",
	"results_wanted": 20
}

You can also start from generic city or locality pages and the actor will resolve the underlying search automatically:

{
	"startUrl": "https://housing.com/in/buy/bengaluru/electronic-city-gid/",
	"results_wanted": 20
}

Larger Collection With Proxy

Increase the collection size and use Apify Proxy:

{
	"startUrl": "https://housing.com/in/buy/searches/M8vPskwz0ocdh7q42r5",
	"results_wanted": 100,
	"max_pages": 5,
	"proxyConfiguration": {

}

Tips for Best Results

Use Real Search Pages

• Start from a valid Housing.com search results URL.
• Prefer stable search pages that already show multiple listings.
• Reuse saved search URLs when you want reproducible datasets.

Keep QA Runs Small

• Use results_wanted: 20 for quick validation runs.
• Increase the limit only after confirming the output structure you need.
• Cap max_pages to control runtime on broader searches.

Use Proxy for Scale

• Residential proxies are recommended for larger or repeated runs.
• Start without proxy for small collections, then add proxy for production volume.
• Keep page sizes moderate to reduce retry pressure.

Proxy Configuration

For higher-volume runs, residential proxies are recommended:

{
	"proxyConfiguration": {
		"useApifyProxy": true,
		"apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
	}
}

Integrations

Connect your data with:

• Google Sheets — Review pricing and inventory in spreadsheets.
• Airtable — Build searchable property datasets.
• Make — Automate follow-up workflows and syncs.
• Zapier — Trigger downstream actions from new exports.
• Webhooks — Push listings into internal systems.

Export Formats

• JSON — Best for APIs and automation.
• CSV — Best for spreadsheet workflows.
• Excel — Best for operational reporting.
• XML — Best for legacy integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many listings can I collect?

You can collect as many listings as the search page exposes, subject to your results_wanted and max_pages limits.

Does the actor support specific localities or cities?

Yes. Use any valid Housing.com search page for the area you want to collect.

Why are some fields missing on certain listings?

Housing.com does not populate every field for every listing. The actor removes null values instead of returning empty placeholders.
