Commercial.ie Property Scraper

Extract commercial property listings from Commercial.ie, Ireland's dedicated commercial property portal. Covers offices, retail units, industrial and warehouse space, pubs and restaurants, development land and sites, and multi-unit investment property across all 26 counties.

What does this actor do?

You give it an Irish county or a free-text location, pick sale, rent or both, and optionally narrow to a segment such as offices or development land. It returns structured JSON for every listing: address, price with POA preserved, floor area or site size with its unit, BER rating, coordinates, photos, the full listing description, and the marketing agent with phone number and PSRA licence number where published.

Why use it?

• Market research. Track asking prices and rents for offices, retail and industrial space across Irish counties.
• Land sourcing. Development sites and zoned land are a core segment on Commercial.ie. Filter them directly and feed the results into your own pipeline.
• Pub and hospitality deals. Public houses, restaurants and lodging businesses are listed as their own property types, including turnkey going concerns.
• Investment screening. Multi-unit blocks and portfolios with full pricing context in one dataset.
• Agent prospecting. Every record includes the marketing agent, phone number and PSRA licence number where published.

Commercial property in Ireland is often priced on application. This actor never fakes a number: POA listings get a null price and priceText says "Price on Application". When a rent is quoted per month, per week or per annum, the quote period is captured in priceUnit.

How to scrape Commercial.ie data

1. Set searchQuery to an Irish county, for example Dublin, Cork or Galway. County names use the site's own county filter. Anything else (a town, a street, a business park) runs as a full-text search. Leave it empty to scrape all of Ireland.
2. Pick listingType: sale, rent, or all for both.
3. Pick a segment, or keep all.
4. Set maxResults and run. Results land in the default dataset as JSON, downloadable as CSV, Excel or via the API.

The whole portal carries around 1,000 live listings, so a full nationwide scrape of every segment completes in about a dozen requests.

Input options

searchQuery	string	(empty)	Irish county or free text. Empty = all of Ireland.

The industrial segment bundles industrial units, warehouses and storage. The hospitality segment bundles public houses, restaurants and lodging. The investment segment bundles multi-unit blocks and portfolios.

Pricing and cost

You pay per result: one listing = one dataset item. There are no detail-page fetches, so a run of 100 results makes two or three requests and finishes in under a minute. A run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED; a failed run does not charge for results, and a mid-run dataset read undercounts the final cost.

Notes and limits

• POA is common in Irish commercial property. Roughly a fifth of listings carry no quoted price; those get a null price and "Price on Application" in priceText. A small number of listings carry a nominal placeholder such as €1, which the site displays literally and this actor preserves as-is.
• Building sizes are quoted in square metres, land in acres. Check surfaceUnit before comparing surface values.
• Sale versus rent is filtered by the actor after fetching, because the portal's API does not filter on it. The maxResults cap counts listings actually returned to you, not listings fetched.
• Results come newest-first, matching the site's own ordering.
• Commercial.ie is the dedicated commercial portal of the FindaHome group. For Irish commercial listings on Daft.ie, use the Daft.ie Commercial Property Scraper; the two share the same field names, so datasets combine cleanly.
