## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Domain.com.au Scraper

Extract structured property listings from **Domain.com.au** — Australia's #2 real estate portal with over **200,000 active listings** across every state and territory.

Whether you need to track market prices, monitor suburbs, build investment tools, or power your real estate app — this scraper delivers clean, structured data at scale with **no proxy required**.

---

### What you get

Every listing comes with:

- **Full address** — street, suburb, state, postcode
- **GPS coordinates** — latitude and longitude for mapping
- **Price** — as displayed on Domain
- **Property features** — bedrooms, bathrooms, parking spaces
- **Property type** — house, apartment, townhouse, land, and more
- **Land size** — in m² or hectares
- **Photos** — up to 15 high-resolution image URLs
- **Inspection times** — open-for-inspection schedule
- **Listing status** — badge, promo type, project name
- **Direct link** — canonical Domain.com.au URL

---

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Description | Default |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| **Locations** | Suburbs to search — format: `"Sydney NSW 2000"` | 5 major cities |
| **Channel** | `buy` (for sale) or `rent` (for rent) | `buy` |
| **Max results** | Total listings cap across all locations. `0` = unlimited | `200` |
| **Max pages per location** | How many result pages to scrape per suburb (20 listings/page) | `10` |
| **Start URLs** | Paste specific Domain.com.au search URLs directly | — |

#### Location format

Locations follow the pattern `Suburb STATE Postcode`. Examples:

````

Sydney NSW 2000
Melbourne VIC 3000
Brisbane QLD 4000
Perth WA 6000
Adelaide SA 5000
Bondi Beach NSW 2026
South Yarra VIC 3141
Fremantle WA 6160

````

---

### Output format

Each item in the dataset represents one property listing:

```json
{
  "id": "2020235006",
  "url": "https://www.domain.com.au/5403-101-bathurst-street-sydney-nsw-2000-2020235006",

````

***

### Market coverage

Domain.com.au covers all states and territories:

| Location | For sale | Pages |
|----------|----------|-------|
| Sydney NSW | ~1,000 | 49 |
| Melbourne VIC | ~3,100 | 50+ |
| Perth WA | ~610 | 30 |
| Adelaide SA | ~430 | 22 |
| Canberra ACT | ~3,200 | 50+ |

Rentals and niche markets (rural, retirement, new developments) are all supported.

***

### Pricing

**$0.80 per 1,000 listings** — billed only for what you actually scrape.

A typical run extracting 200 listings costs around $0.16. Scraping 10,000 listings across multiple suburbs costs roughly $8.00.

***

### 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.
