Imot.bg Scraper

Extract real estate listings from Imot.bg, Bulgaria's largest and most popular property portal. Imot.bg aggregates hundreds of thousands of active listings from agencies and private sellers across all major Bulgarian cities and regions.

Why use this actor?

Imot.bg is the dominant real estate platform in Bulgaria, covering apartments, houses, villas, plots, offices, and commercial properties. This actor lets you collect structured property data at scale — prices, areas, rooms, floors, construction types, locations, images, and seller details — without manual browsing or login requirements.

Use cases include market analysis, investment research, relocation planning, price monitoring across Bulgarian cities, academic housing studies, and competitor tracking for real estate agencies.

How to scrape imot.bg data

1. Go to the actor's page on the Apify Store
2. Enter a Bulgarian city name (e.g., "София", "Пловдив", "Варна") or paste an Imot.bg search URL
3. Choose listing type (sale or rent) and property type (studio, 2-room, 3-room, house, villa, plot)
4. Click "Start" to run the scraper
5. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel when complete

The actor uses Playwright with residential proxies for reliable access. Data is extracted directly from the rendered page HTML for maximum accuracy.

Cost estimate

This actor uses Playwright with residential proxies, making it more resource-intensive than simple HTTP scrapers. Approximate costs:

• ~50 results: $0.10-0.25 in platform credits
• ~500 results: $0.50-1.50 in platform credits
• ~5,000 results: $3.00-8.00 in platform credits

Costs depend on page load times and proxy usage.

Tips for best results

• Use residential proxies (configured by default). Datacenter proxies may be blocked.
• Start small — test with maxResults: 20 before running large scrapes.
• Use specific cities — searching for "София" returns more focused results than broad region searches.
• Bulgarian names work best — use Cyrillic city names (e.g., "София" not "Sofia") for more reliable results.
• Property types in Bulgarian — the property type filter maps directly to Imot.bg's categories.

Limitations

• Imot.bg is a Bulgarian-language website. Listing titles and descriptions are in Bulgarian.
• Some listings may have limited data depending on what the seller or agent published.
• The actor scrapes the public website. No login or authentication is used, and no cookies are required.
• Scraping speed is throttled to avoid triggering anti-bot measures.
• Price data reflects the listed asking price, not the final transaction price.
• Prices can be in BGN (Bulgarian Lev) or EUR depending on the seller's preference.
