Why this scraper?

🏔️ All 26 Swiss cantons

Scrape any combination of cantons — Zürich, Bern, Genf, Waadt, Tessin, and more — or scrape all of Switzerland in one run.

📊 Rich structured output

Captures price (CHF), living space (m²), room count, floor, build year, GPS coordinates, and 35+ property features including parking, balcony, garden, elevator, Minergie certification, mountain view, pet policy, child-friendliness, charging station, and more.

🖼️ Full image gallery

Returns all listing photos as a complete imageUrls array (typically 10–20+ images per property). Also extracts floorPlanUrls (PDF floor plans) and virtualTourUrl where available.

📝 Full descriptions

Property descriptions are extracted directly from the page's server-rendered data — no additional requests needed. Available as plain text, HTML, and Markdown.

🗺️ GPS coordinates

Latitude and longitude included for every listing where Homegate provides them, enabling map visualisation and proximity analysis.

👤 Agent & agency data

Captures listing agent name, phone number, email, agency ID, and agency logo URL for direct contact or lead enrichment workflows.

🏗️ New construction data

isNewBuilding and isNewConstruction flags identify new-build properties. newConstructionType and projectUrl provide further detail for development projects.

🔗 Direct URL support

Supply any Homegate search results URL directly to scrape a custom filter (price range, number of rooms, location, etc.) exactly as configured in the Homegate interface.

• Publish dates are available only when Homegate includes them in the server-rendered data.
