Zimmo Scraper

Extract real estate listings from Zimmo.be, Belgium's second-largest property portal with over 125,000 active listings and 6 million monthly visitors.

Why use this actor?

Zimmo.be aggregates listings from real estate agencies and private sellers across Belgium. This actor lets you collect structured property data at scale — prices, locations, surfaces, EPC energy labels, images, and agent details — without manual browsing or login requirements.

Use cases include market analysis, investment research, relocation planning, price monitoring, and academic housing studies.

How to scrape Zimmo data

1. Go to the actor's page on the Apify Store
2. Enter a Belgian city name (e.g., "Gent", "Brussel", "Antwerpen") or paste a Zimmo.be search URL
3. Choose listing type (sale or rent) and property type
4. Click "Start" to run the scraper
5. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel when complete

The actor handles Zimmo.be's Cloudflare protection automatically using residential proxies and browser fingerprinting.

Cost estimate

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

• ~50 results: $0.10-0.20 in platform credits
• ~500 results: $0.50-1.00 in platform credits
• ~5,000 results: $3.00-6.00 in platform credits

Costs depend on Cloudflare challenge frequency and proxy usage.

Tips for best results

• Use residential proxies (configured by default). Datacenter proxies will be blocked.
• Belgian IP preferred — Belgian residential proxies have the highest success rate.
• Start small — test with maxResults: 20 before running large scrapes.
• Use specific cities — searching for a specific city (e.g., "Gent") returns more focused results than broad searches.

Limitations

• Zimmo.be uses Cloudflare protection. Success rate depends on proxy quality and browser fingerprinting.
• Some listings may have limited data depending on what the seller/agent published.
• The actor scrapes the public website. No login or authentication is used.
• Scraping speed is limited to avoid triggering additional anti-bot measures.
• Price data reflects the listed asking price, not the final sale price.
