Imot.bg Bulgaria Real Estate Scraper

Pull live property listings from imot.bg — Bulgaria's largest real-estate portal — with prices, area, room counts, neighborhoods, full photo sets, and direct agency phone numbers. Filter by city, sale or rent, and six property categories, or paste a saved imot.bg search straight from your browser. Built for real-estate investors, proptech platforms, and market analysts who need fresh, structured Bulgarian property data without copying listings off the site by hand.

Why This Scraper?

• Six property categories in one run — Apartments, Houses & Villas, Land & Plots, Commercial, Garages & Parking, or Any. Houses & Villas pulls villas, houses and floor-of-a-house listings; Commercial pulls offices, shops and business premises — each mapped to the right imot.bg section automatically.
• Room-count granularity from studio to 5+ — pick any mix of 1-room (studio), 2, 3, 4, and 5+ room apartments; results from every selected size are merged and de-duplicated by listing ID.
• Direct agency contacts — every detailed listing returns the agency or private-seller name plus a working phone number and profile link, with a private-seller flag so you can separate owners from brokers.
• City, region, and country-wide coverage — search Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Ruse, Stara Zagora, Pleven and any other Bulgarian town, step up to oblast (region) level, or leave the city blank to sweep the whole country.
• EUR price filtering on sale and rent — set a minimum and maximum in euros (monthly rent for rentals); "price by request" listings are kept rather than silently dropped.
• Full Cyrillic fidelity — Bulgarian neighborhood, district, and description text comes back correctly decoded, not mangled into question marks.
• Construction details that drive valuation — detailed runs add construction type (brick, panel, EPK), heating, floor and total floors, and year built — the fields appraisers and investors actually price on.
• Up to 50,000 listings per run — automatic pagination walks every results page; set Max Results to 0 for an unlimited sweep guarded by a 50,000-row ceiling.
• Paste-a-search power mode — build any filtered search on imot.bg, copy the address bar, and the scraper reproduces it exactly, preserving filters the guided fields don't expose.

Tips for Best Results

• Land searches are region-level. imot.bg lists plots by oblast, not city — choose Land & Plots and the search automatically steps up to the surrounding region, so expect region-wide results.
• Price filtering is in euros. Set priceMin / priceMax in EUR; for rentals these bound the monthly rent. Listings priced "by request" are always kept so you don't lose premium stock.
• Room counts apply to apartments only. The rooms filter is ignored for Houses, Land, Commercial, and Garages — those searches return their full results regardless of room count, so use propertyType to target them.
• Paste a saved search for exact filters. Build the search on imot.bg with any filters you like, copy the address bar into startUrls, and every filter is reproduced precisely — including ones the guided fields don't cover.
• Turn on Include Full Listing Details for contacts and photos. Names, phone numbers, full galleries, and construction data only appear when detail mode is on; leave it off for fast, inexpensive price-and-area sweeps.
• Leave the city blank for a national view. An empty city searches all of Bulgaria — ideal for country-wide market snapshots.
• Set Max Results to 0 for a complete sweep. Pagination runs to the natural end of the results, capped at 50,000 rows to keep runs bounded.

Pricing

From $3.00 per 1,000 results — flat pay-per-result, undercutting comparable Bulgarian property scrapers. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.36	$0.34	$0.32	$0.30
1,000	$3.60	$3.40	$3.20	$3.00
10,000	$36.00	$34.00	$32.00	$30.00
100,000	$360.00	$340.00	$320.00	$300.00

A "result" is one listing record pushed to your dataset. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
