Pricing

Tips for best results

Target specific suburbs rather than whole states for the most accurate results. The format Suburb STATE Postcode (e.g. Newtown NSW 2042) gives you a precise suburb search with surrounding suburbs included automatically.

Use Start URLs to scrape any Domain.com.au search — apply filters directly on the website, copy the URL, and paste it into the Start URLs field.

For rental data, set Channel to rent. Rental listings have the same structure including weekly price, inspection times, and pet/furnished status in the badge field.

Technical notes

• Extraction method: JSON-HTML — data is parsed from the __NEXT_DATA__ JSON block embedded in each page's HTML by Domain's Next.js server-side rendering. No CSS selectors or DOM parsing involved.
• WAF bypass: Domain.com.au uses Akamai bot protection. Rotating iOS app User-Agent strings bypass it consistently without proxies.
• Rate limiting: ~6s delay between pages per location, ~8s between locations. Handles 403 responses with automatic backoff.
• No proxy required: iOS app UAs are sufficient for reliable access at normal scraping rates.
