Bakeca Scraper: Italian Rooms, Rentals & Homes for Sale 🚀

🎉 Every Bakeca housing ad in 107 Italian provinces, with price, m², GPS and private or agency on each row

For room hunters, landlords, agencies and analysts who need Italy's classifieds housing stock as a spreadsheet

---

🔎 What is the Bakeca Scraper — and when should you use it?

The Bakeca Scraper turns public Bakeca.it housing ads from any of Italy's 107 Bakeca provinces into clean, structured rows you can filter, export and feed straight into a spreadsheet, database or AI agent. No account, no portal API key, no browser automation to maintain.

Use it when you need: Italian rooms, homes for rent, homes for sale, holiday homes, shops, garages, warehouses and land as rows. Every search row carries the price in euros, floor area, property type, town, province, GPS and whether a private owner or an agency posted it. Open each ad in full and you also get the phone number where the ad shows one, the full text, every photo, district, furnishing, energy class and publish date.

Use something else when: you want the big Italian property portals rather than classifieds ads. Use Immobiliare.it Scraper for Immobiliare.it agency listings with full detail. Use Smart Idealista Scraper for Idealista in Italy, Spain and Portugal. This actor reads Bakeca's housing section only, for live ads. Jobs, cars and Bakeca's other sections are not covered, and sold prices are not returned.

🤖 Use with AI agents

Already connected to the Apify MCP server? Just ask for this Actor by name: sian.agency/bakeca-property-scraper

Your agent can pay for its own runs. This Actor is eligible for agentic payments, so an agent can discover it, run it and settle the bill over x402 (USDC on Base) or Skyfire — without an Apify account or API token of its own. Billing is the same either way: per successful row, never for errors.

Otherwise copy this prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-enabled assistant:

I want rooms, rentals and homes for sale from Bakeca.it in Italy using the Apify Actor `sian.agency/bakeca-property-scraper`.

Use it when I need: Italian rooms, homes for rent, homes for sale, holiday homes, shops, garages, warehouses and land as rows. Every search row carries the price in euros, floor area, property type, town, province, GPS and whether a private owner or an agency posted it. Open each ad in full and you also get the phone number where the ad shows one, the full text, every photo, district, furnishing, energy class and publish date.

Don't use it when: you want the big Italian property portals rather than classifieds ads — use immobiliare-property-scraper or smart-idealista-scraper instead.

How to call it: set `city` to a Bakeca province such as `milano`, `roma`, `torino` or `bologna` (or `italia` for the whole country), `category` to `rent`, `sale`, `rooms`, `holiday`, `commercial`, `garages`, `warehouses` or `land`, and optionally `town` (a town inside that province) and `sellerType` (`any`, `private` or `agency`). `maxResults` sets how many ads come back. `includeDetails` opens each ad for the phone, full text and every photo, for an extra charge per ad. `searchUrls` takes Bakeca results pages as [{"url": ...}] objects. To expand ads you already have, set `operation` to `detail` and pass `listingUrls`.

Start with this input:
{
  "operation": "search",
  "city": "milano",
  "category": "rooms",
  "sellerType": "private",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "includeDetails": false
}

Ask me which province or town to cover, and whether I want rooms, homes for rent or homes for sale, then run the Actor and summarise the results as a table.

Things you can ask your agent for:

• List private rooms for rent in Milano with the monthly rent and the district.
• Build a price-per-m² table of homes for sale in Guidonia Montecelio.
• Find agency-listed flats for rent in Torino with the agency's phone number.

Machine-readable API, MCP config and OpenAPI definition for this Actor are published at apify.com/sian.agency/bakeca-property-scraper.md.

📋 Overview

Bakeca.it is where Italians post rooms, flats and houses themselves. This actor turns its housing section into clean rows: rooms and beds, homes for rent, homes for sale, holiday homes, shops, garages, warehouses and land.

What you get:

• ✅ Rooms and private landlords: 44% to 65% of Bakeca's room ads in Milano, Roma and Torino come from private owners, by Bakeca's own counts
• ⚡ 25 ads per results page: price, floor area, type, town, GPS, photo and advertiser come back on every search row
• 🎯 Filters checked on real rows: private-only and agency-only searches returned 30 of 30 and 10 of 10 matching ads in our tests
• 💰 Pay per ad: $1.50 per 1,000 ads on the Starter plan, and an ad is billed once per run even when it repeats
• 💎 Full ad on demand: one switch adds the phone number where the ad shows one, the full text, every photo, district, furnishing and energy class
• ✨ NEW: all 107 Bakeca provinces plus an All of Italy search in one dropdown

---

✨ Features

• 🏘️ Eight housing sections: rooms and beds, homes for rent, homes for sale, holiday homes, shops and offices, garages, warehouses and land
• 📍 107 provinces or the whole country: pick Milano, Roma, Torino, Bologna, Napoli or any other Bakeca province, or All of Italy
• 🏡 Town filter: narrow a province to one town, such as Sesto San Giovanni in Milano or Guidonia Montecelio in Roma
• 🙋 Private or agency: use Bakeca's own advertiser filter, and read the advertiser type on every row either way
• 📐 Price per m²: worked out on every row that has both a price and a floor area
• 📞 Phone numbers: in the full ad, whenever the advertiser shows one
• 🔗 Paste any results page: districts, furnished-only lists or a Bakeca keyword search all work as input
• 🔁 No double billing: premium ads that repeat on every page are kept and charged once

---

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which parts of Bakeca does it cover? A: The whole housing section: rooms, homes for rent, homes for sale, holiday homes, shops and offices, garages, warehouses and land. That is all 107 Bakeca provinces, or Italy at once. Jobs, cars and Bakeca's other sections are not included.

Q: Do I get phone numbers? A: Yes, with "Open each ad in full", whenever the advertiser shows a number on the ad. Many private ads do, and some only accept messages through Bakeca.

Q: How do I tell private owners from agencies? A: Every row has advertiserType set to private or agency, taken from the ad itself. You can also let Bakeca filter it with the Advertiser field.

Q: Why is a price missing on some rows? A: Some ads show 1 € or "Trattativa riservata" and give the real figure in the text. Those rows leave price empty rather than carry a made-up number.

Q: Can I search one district? A: Yes. Open the district on bakeca.it, for example Bocconi-Ticinese in Milano, and paste the results address into Search page URLs.

Q: How many ads can I get? A: FREE accounts get 25 per run. Paid accounts can ask for up to 10,000 per run. A province's section usually holds a few hundred to a few thousand ads.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Every run reads the live site. Nothing is cached between runs.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and HTML, straight from the Apify dataset.

🐛 Troubleshooting

A town search returns nothing

• Check the town is spelled the way Bakeca spells it, for example "Sesto San Giovanni"
• Make sure the town is inside the province you picked

A pasted URL is skipped

• Paste a housing results page, such as https://milano.bakeca.it/annunci/offro-camera/ , not an ad page or the home page
• Remove any sorting from the address, because sorted pages are not supported

Fewer rows than "Properties to collect"

• The search ran out of ads, or the FREE tier stopped at 25
• With a town set, premium ads from other towns are skipped and not billed

A page failed to load

• This is nearly always temporary. Run the same input again a few minutes later. Failed pages are never charged

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
