Yad2 Property Search Scraper: Extract Israeli Real Estate Listings at Scale

---

What Is Yad2.co.il?

Yad2 (יד2) is Israel's most popular classifieds and real estate platform, hosting hundreds of thousands of active property listings across residential, commercial, and land categories. Whether tracking market prices in Tel Aviv or monitoring new listings in the Negev, manually collecting this data is impractical at scale. The Yad2 Property Search Scraper automates extraction from any Yad2 real estate search URL, returning structured records ready for analysis.

---

Overview

This scraper targets Yad2 property search result pages — not individual listings — and bulk-extracts all visible listing data per page. It is built for:

• Real estate investors monitoring regional pricing trends
• Proptech developers feeding listing data into custom platforms
• Market analysts studying supply, demand, and price movements
• Agencies tracking competitor listings and agent activity

Key capabilities: configurable item limits per URL, fault-tolerant runs via ignore_url_failures, and support for Yad2's geo-filtered and category-filtered search URLs.

---

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object with three fields:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.yad2.co.il/realestate/forsale/south?property=1&bBox=29.490631%2C33.300061%2C31.904124%2C36.444639"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array of strings	—	One or more Yad2 property search/list page URLs to scrape. Supports geo-filtered (bBox), category-filtered, and region-based URLs. Add URLs one by one or use bulk edit.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	true	When enabled, the scraper skips failed URLs and continues processing remaining ones instead of stopping the run. Recommended for bulk jobs.
max_items_per_url	integer	20	Maximum number of listings to collect per URL. Increase up to 50+ for broader coverage. Applies independently to each URL in the list.

How to get a valid URL:

1. Go to yad2.co.il/realestate
2. Apply filters (region, property type, price range, map bounding box)
3. Copy the full URL from your browser — it contains all filter parameters

Tip: Yad2 supports bounding-box geo-filters via the bBox query parameter (south,west,north,east). Use the map view on Yad2 to define your area, then copy the resulting URL.

How to Use

1. Build your search URL — Use Yad2's search filters and map view, then copy the resulting URL from your browser.
2. Configure input — Paste your URLs into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url based on how many listings you need.
3. Run the scraper — Start the actor and monitor the run log for progress or errors.
4. Export — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel for use in spreadsheets, databases, or BI tools.

Best practices:

• Use multiple region-specific URLs rather than one broad URL to maximize coverage and control item limits per area.
• Set ignore_url_failures: true for all multi-URL runs.
• Re-run periodically to capture new listings — Yad2 inventory changes daily.

---

Use Cases & Business Value

• Price benchmarking: Compare asking prices across neighborhoods or property types
• Inventory monitoring: Track how many listings appear in a given area over time
• Lead generation: Identify newly listed properties or price-reduced opportunities
• Agent intelligence: Understand which agencies are most active in a given market

The Yad2 Property Search Scraper replaces hours of manual browsing with a single automated run, producing clean, structured data that feeds directly into analysis workflows.
