LoopNet API — Commercial Real Estate Listings, Broker & Site Data 🏢

🏢 Search commercial real estate 5 ways, then pull broker phone numbers, traffic counts and walk/transit scores no other scraper exposes

Built for CRE investors, brokers and site-selection analysts — not homebuyers

📋 Overview

Stop guessing at commercial deals from a listing photo and a price string. This actor searches commercial real estate by location, ZIP, coordinates, drawn polygon or a pasted search URL, then pulls the full listing dossier — broker names, titles and direct phone numbers, the property owner's identity, annual average daily traffic counts by cross-street, and walk/transit/bike/drive scores.

Why CRE professionals choose this actor:

• ✅ 5 search inputs, 1 actor: location, ZIP, coordinates, drawn polygon or a pasted search URL — all sharing the same full commercial filter set
• 🎯 Site-selection intelligence: traffic counts by cross-street and walk/transit/bike/drive scores that LoopNet's own site doesn't surface without a login
• 📞 Direct broker contacts: name, title, phone number and brokerage company on every dossier
• 💰 Cheapest credible pricing in the field: $0.0018/listing, $0.006/dossier — undercuts every competitor that actually converts users

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many listings can I get per run? A: FREE tier: 25. PAID tier: unlimited, capped only by maxResultsPerQuery.

Q: Can I search a drawn area instead of a location name? A: Yes — locationMode: "bypolygon" with an array of [longitude, latitude] pairs (PAID tier).

Q: Does the detail dossier really include broker phone numbers? A: Yes — direct phone, title and brokerage company for every broker on the listing.

Q: What if a listing id doesn't exist? A: The actor detects an empty/not-found dossier and fails that run cleanly without charging you.

Q: Is the property-type taxonomy free? A: Yes — autocomplete and propertytypes operations are never charged.

Q: What countries does the property-type taxonomy cover? A: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Spain and Australia.

Q: How long does a run take? A: A single search page returns in a few seconds; detail dossiers are near-instant.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results for my search

• Broaden your filters — a narrow price/cap-rate/size range plus a small market can return zero matches
• Confirm searchType matches your intent (For_Lease vs For_Sale vs Auctions)

Detail run fails with "not found"

• Double-check the listingId came from a real search result — ids are never guessed
• The listing may have been leased/sold and removed from LoopNet

Polygon search returns a TierError

• locationMode: "bypolygon" requires a PAID Apify account

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what is publicly listed. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data (such as a broker's public business phone number). 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.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the legality of web scraping.
