Properstar Property Scraper

What does Properstar Property Scraper do?

Properstar Property Scraper collects public property listings and project records from Properstar search URLs. Add one or more filtered Properstar result pages, choose how many records and pages to process, and receive a structured dataset with titles, prices, locations, property details, publication dates, listing URLs, and image URLs.

The dataset is useful for real estate market research, investment analysis, property lead generation, price monitoring, competitor tracking, and portfolio reporting. It supports both individual listings and project records when they appear in the selected Properstar search results.

Why use Properstar Property Scraper?

• Build property datasets faster - Collect structured records from multiple Properstar searches without manual copy-paste.
• Compare markets and locations - Review prices, property types, room counts, areas, and publication dates across countries, cities, or regions.
• Support lead generation - Create a current list of properties with direct listing URLs, location data, images, and available contact information.
• Monitor listing changes - Run the Actor on a schedule and compare repeated datasets to identify new listings, removed listings, and price changes.
• Handle multiple searches in one run - Provide several Properstar URLs and set one result limit for the complete run.
• Export data for your workflow - Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or another supported format, or connect it to an application through the Apify API.

How to use Properstar Property Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more public Properstar search result URLs to urls.
3. Set results_wanted for the maximum number of records and max_pages for the page limit per URL.
4. Configure proxyConfiguration when your workflow requires proxy settings.
5. Run the Actor and review the dataset preview.
6. Download the results or connect the dataset to your next workflow.

Use search URLs that already contain the location, transaction type, property type, and other filters you need. A URL copied from a filtered Properstar results page is the easiest way to reproduce a search.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a small results_wanted value and inspect the dataset before larger runs.
• Use complete, public Properstar search URLs with the filters you want to preserve.
• Use max_pages to control how far the Actor continues through each search.
• Split very large collections across focused location or property-type URLs.
• Schedule repeat runs when you need a current property monitoring dataset.
• Treat optional fields such as contact details, floor plans, coordinates, and media as source-dependent.
• If a search returns fewer records than expected, test the URL directly and check whether the source currently has matching public results.

Integrations and Export Formats

• Google Sheets - Review prices, locations, and property attributes in a shared spreadsheet.
• Airtable - Build a searchable property database for teams and clients.
• Webhooks - Trigger downstream actions when a run finishes.
• Make or Zapier - Send new records to CRMs, alerts, or other business tools.
• Apify API - Read datasets programmatically from your own application.

Apify datasets can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and other supported formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I collect listings from multiple Properstar URLs?

Yes. Add multiple search pages to the urls array. The Actor removes duplicate records by result identity and applies results_wanted across the complete run.

Does the Actor collect both listings and projects?

Yes. Results are labeled with result_type, which identifies standard listings and project records when both are present in a search.

Can I scrape sale and rental searches?

Yes. Use the appropriate public Properstar search URL for the transaction type and include it in urls.

Can I limit the number of pages?

Yes. Set max_pages to control the maximum page depth processed for each supplied URL.

Can I export Properstar data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Download the completed Apify dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, or another available format.

Why are some fields missing?

Fields are missing when Properstar does not publish that value for a result. This is common for optional contact details, coordinates, floor plans, media, and price conversions.

Can I run the Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule to refresh the dataset hourly, daily, weekly, or at another interval that fits your monitoring workflow.

Is it legal to collect Properstar data?

You are responsible for complying with applicable laws, Properstar terms, privacy requirements, and any restrictions that apply to your intended use. Collect and use public data responsibly.
