Cian Scraper — Russia Property Data & API 🏠

🇷🇺 Turn Cian — Russia's #1 real-estate portal (~31M visits/month) — into clean, structured property data.

For investors, analysts, PropTech teams and lead-gen pros who need Moscow, St Petersburg & nationwide listings as JSON, CSV or Excel — no account, no API key.

---

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

The Cian Scraper turns sale and rent listings from the Russian property portal cian.ru 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: price in roubles and price per square metre, rooms, and the total, living and kitchen area. Each listing also gives the floor and the building's floor count, the nearest metro station with walk time, coordinates, building material and year, and the new-build complex and developer where there is one. Seller type and phone number come through as well.

Use something else when: you want a different Russian portal, or a different country. Use Avito Real Estate Scraper for Avito's Russian classifieds listings, including rooms, houses, commercial space and land. Use Yandex Realty Scraper for Yandex Realty's sale and rent listings for Russia. This actor reads cian.ru only, so listings that sit on other Russian portals will not show up here.

🤖 Use with AI agents

Already connected to the Apify MCP server? Just ask for this Actor by name: sian.agency/cian-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 Russian property data from Cian using the Apify Actor `sian.agency/cian-property-scraper`.

Use it when I need: price in roubles and price per square metre, rooms, and the total, living and kitchen area. Each listing also gives the floor and the building's floor count, the nearest metro station with walk time, coordinates, building material and year, and the new-build complex and developer where there is one. Seller type and phone number come through as well.

Don't use it when: you want a different Russian portal, or a different country — use avito-property-scraper or yandex-realty-scraper instead.

How to call it: pick a `searchMode` — `byApiLocation` (fastest: a free-text `location` such as a city, district or metro station, or a `latitude`/`longitude` pair with a `radius` in km), `bySearchUrl` (paste cian.ru search URLs into `searchUrls`, or build a search from `deal`, `offerType` and `region`), or `byListingUrl` (specific listing URLs, valid only with `scrapeMode: "detail"`). `scrapeMode` is `overview` (core fields off the search results) or `detail` (full listing page). Filters `rooms`, `minPrice`/`maxPrice`, `minArea`/`maxArea`, `newBuild` and `sort` apply across modes.

Start with this input:
{
  "searchMode": "byApiLocation",
  "location": "Москва",
  "deal": "sale",
  "offerType": "flat",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Ask me which city, district or metro station, and whether you want sale or rent, then run the Actor and summarise the results as a table.

Things you can ask your agent for:

• Pull 1- and 2-room flats for sale in Хамовники and rank them by price per square metre.
• Compare asking rents near a Moscow metro station against sale prices in the same district.
• Track new-build listings from one developer in St Petersburg week over week.

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

📋 Overview

Cian (Циан) is the largest real-estate marketplace in Russia — millions of for-sale and for-rent listings across flats, rooms, houses, land, commercial space and new-build complexes (ЖК). This scraper pulls them into a clean dataset you can analyze, enrich or feed straight into your own pipeline.

What you get:

• ✅ Nationwide coverage: Moscow, St Petersburg and any Cian region — by ID, filters, or pasted search URL.
• ⚡ High throughput: a full page of listings comes back per request, so a single run covers thousands of properties.
• 🌆 Search by place name or map pin: the fast By API location mode takes a free-text city, district or metro station — "Москва", "Хамовники", "м. Арбатская" — or latitude/longitude/radius, with no region ID to look up.
• 🎯 Rich, structured fields: price, price/m², rooms, area, floor, metro & walk time, GPS, building material/year, complex & developer, seller type — all normalized.
• 💸 Transparent pay-per-result: 25 listings free per run, then pay only for the listings you keep. Nothing is charged until your input is validated.
• 💎 Two depths: fast & cheap Overview (every core field from the search results) or full Detail (complete description, all photos, full building & seller data per listing).
• 🛏️ Native filters & sort: deal type, property type, rooms, price & area ranges, new-builds only, and Cian's own sort orders — exactly the levers you'd use on the site.

---

✨ Features

• 🧭 Overview mode: a full page of listings per request — price, ₽/m², rooms, area, floor, metro, GPS, building and seller, straight from the search results.
• 🔍 Detail mode: the full per-listing record — complete description, the whole photo gallery and the richest building & seller fields.
• 🌆 By API location: type a city, district, metro station or street and skip the region ID entirely. Or search around a map pin with latitude, longitude and a radius in km.
• 🔗 By search URL: build the search on Cian, paste the URL, keep every on-page filter.
• 🆔 By listing URL: hand it a list of specific listings and get the full record for each.
• 🎚️ Native filters & sort: deal type, property type, rooms, price range, area range, new-builds only, and Cian's own sort orders.
• 📊 Price per m² on every row, worked out from price and total area so you don't have to.
• 🚇 Metro station and walk time on every listing, for territory and commute analysis.
• 📄 Run report on every run: what you extracted, what failed and why, and an itemized charges statement.
• 📤 Clean exports: JSON, CSV, Excel, or the full Apify REST API.

🎬 Quick Start

Choose a scrape depth, choose how to search, set your filters, and run. Results stream into the Apify dataset as clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sian.agency~cian-property-scraper/runs?token=[YOUR_TOKEN]" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"scrapeMode":"overview","searchMode":"byApiLocation","location":"Москва","deal":"sale","offerType":"flat","maxResults":50}'

Paste a search URL

Build any search on Cian (set filters, sort, region), copy the URL from the address bar, and drop it into Search URLs — every on-page filter is preserved.

https://www.cian.ru/cat.php?deal_type=sale&engine_version=2&offer_type=flat&region=1&room2=1

⚡ Fast search by location (no region ID)

Prefer a place name over a region ID? Set Search by to By API location, then type a Location — a city, district, metro station or street such as "Москва", "Санкт-Петербург" or "Хамовники" — or set Latitude / Longitude / Radius for a map-pin search. Your Deal type, Property type, Rooms, Price/Area range and Sort filters all still apply. This path is fast and light: it runs comfortably at 512 MB, while the actor default stays 2 GB for the URL and region modes.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many listings can I extract? A: FREE tier: 25 per run. PAID tier: unlimited.

Q: Do I need a Cian account or API key? A: No. Just configure the input and run.

Q: Which regions are supported? A: Any Cian region — pick the region ID off a Cian search URL (1 = Moscow, 2 = St Petersburg, and so on). Don't want to hunt for an ID? Use Search by → By API location and just type the place name, or drop in latitude and longitude.

Q: Overview vs Detail — which should I use? A: Start with Overview: it already carries price, rooms, area, floor, metro, GPS, building and seller fields for most use cases. Switch to Detail only when you need the complete description, the full photo gallery and the richest per-listing data.

Q: How is pricing calculated? A: Pay-per-result: you are charged per listing extracted, with a free tier to try it out. Your input is validated before any charge.

Q: Can I filter by price, rooms or new-builds? A: Yes — all native Cian filters are exposed, or paste a search URL with the filters already applied.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV, Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset, or pull them over the API.

Q: Does it work for both sale and rent? A: Yes — set Deal type to sale or rent. Run both over the same area to model rental yield.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check the place-name spelling in By API location ("Москва", not "Moscow"), or paste a working Cian search URL instead.
• Loosen your filters — a tight price or area range combined with a small district can legitimately return zero listings.

Fewer results than expected

• The FREE tier is capped at 25 listings per run. Upgrade for unlimited, or raise Max results.
• Cian caps how deep a single search paginates. Slice a big market into several narrower searches (by district, price band or room count) and run them separately.

Listing URLs seem to be ignored

• By listing URL only works with Scrape mode: detail. Set both, and put the URLs in Listing URLs, not Search URLs.

Some listings failed

• Open the run's Processing Report: each failed item is listed with the reason and a ready-made retry input you can paste straight back into the JSON input tab. Failed fetches are never charged.
