Redfin Property Discovery Scraper

Discover public Redfin sale listings from buyer-facing inputs: location, operation, property type, and result limit. The Actor returns structured listing rows with descriptions, prices, area, price per square meter, rooms, main image, features, broker name, and listing URLs.

This is a discovery Actor. You do not need to provide search result URLs.

Why Use This Actor

Use this Actor when you need a clean sale-listing dataset from Redfin without manually building search URLs or copying listings from the website.

It is useful for:

• US real estate lead discovery by major city or ZIP code
• sale inventory checks on Redfin
• price and area comparison across Redfin listings
• monitoring broker supply in large US markets
• TroveVault pipelines that combine several property portals into one dataset

What It Extracts

Each dataset row can include:

• platform, listingId, title, and url
• operation and propertyType
• price, currency, priceText, and pricePerM2
• areaM2, bedrooms, and bathrooms
• address, city, and country
• description
• features, such as Redfin key facts, listing tags, virtual tour, video, 3D tour, new construction, or hot home
• sellerName
• mainImage and images
• listedAtText
• scrapedAt
• runId when supplied in the input

Fields are only populated when they are publicly visible in Redfin listing data.

Input

{
  "location": "New York, NY",
  "operation": "sale",
  "propertyType": "any",
  "maxItems": 3,
  "datasetId": "",
  "runId": ""
}

Input Fields

• location - Major US city or ZIP code to search. City-level searches are recommended for stable results, for example New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, Austin, TX, or Seattle, WA.
• operation - Dropdown. Use sale for properties for sale. Redfin rental pages currently require an AWS WAF browser flow and are not enabled in this first build.
• propertyType - Dropdown. Use any, apartment, house, land, or commercial.
• maxItems - Maximum number of listings to save. Use a small number for quick checks and a larger number for broader discovery.
• datasetId - Optional Apify dataset ID. When provided, each saved listing is also appended to that dataset, which is useful when combining several discovery Actors.
• runId - Optional workflow run ID. When provided, it is copied into each output row and the RUN_SUMMARY key-value record.

To append rows to an existing dataset and tag them with a workflow run:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/trovevault~redfin-property-discovery-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" \

Notes And Limitations

• Use English values for operation and propertyType; the Actor maps them internally to Redfin filters.
• This first build supports major US sale markets and ZIP-code discovery. The region resolver can be expanded as we add more Redfin coverage.
• Redfin rental pages currently require an AWS WAF browser flow, so rental discovery is not exposed in the input schema for this version.
• The Actor does not return private contact details and does not bypass logins, paywalls, or private contact flows.
