How to scrape OnTheMarket data

OnTheMarket organises its listings by location and listing type. A search URL looks like https://www.onthemarket.com/for-sale/property/london/ for sales and https://www.onthemarket.com/to-rent/property/manchester/ for rentals. This Actor turns that into structured data in three steps:

1. Pick a location — pass a city, town, or postcode area (for example london, manchester, bristol, or sw1). The Actor builds the correct search URL for you, or you can pass full search URLs in startUrls.
2. Choose for-sale or to-rent — set listingType. Rental prices are returned as the monthly figure (pcm) with priceQualifier set to "pcm".
3. Set how many results you want — the Actor paginates automatically (30 listings per page) until it reaches maxResults or runs out of listings.

Each listing is returned as a flat JSON object with prices as numbers (so you can sort and filter directly), absolute image and listing URLs, and latitude/longitude for mapping. Prices marked POA (Price on application) are returned as null so they are easy to filter out.

For repeat monitoring, schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly and connect the dataset to your own tools via the Apify API, webhooks, or an integration such as Google Sheets or Zapier.

How many results can I get?

OnTheMarket returns 30 listings per page and caps a single search at roughly 1,000 listings (around 34 pages). For larger datasets, split your run by narrower locations (individual towns or postcode areas) or by price band using startUrls with the site's own filters. Set maxResults to control cost and run time.

Cost estimate

This Actor talks to OnTheMarket's public JSON search API over plain HTTP — no browser, no proxy required — so it is fast and cheap to run. A typical run of 1,000 listings completes in about a minute of compute. Actual cost depends on your Apify plan and the pay-per-result pricing shown on the Actor's Store page.

Is it legal to scrape OnTheMarket?

This Actor collects only publicly available listing information — the same data any visitor sees on the site — and does not access private or personal data beyond the estate agent contact details the site publishes on each listing. As with any scraping, use the data responsibly and in line with OnTheMarket's terms and applicable law. If you plan to scrape at scale or reuse the data commercially, take your own legal advice.

Limitations / known issues

• Single search cap — OnTheMarket limits one search to roughly 1,000 listings. Split by location or filters for bigger datasets.
• New-build developments — a small number of development cards list "prices from" or POA and may return a null price and fewer detail fields.
• Floor area — OnTheMarket does not expose floor area on search results, so surface is not included. Detail pages carry more fields if you need them.
• Rental fees — full tenancy fee breakdowns are not scraped; the monthly rent is returned as price.
