MagicBricks India Property Scraper

Extract structured property listings from MagicBricks.com — India's leading real estate portal with 8+ million listings. Covers residential buy and rent across all major Indian cities. No API key or login required.

How it works

The scraper uses a two-stage extraction strategy:

1. Page 1 (JSON-in-HTML) — Loads the Next.js SRP page and extracts the embedded __NEXT_DATA__ JSON block. This establishes the browser session and retrieves the first page of results along with the total listing count.
2. Pages 2+ (Internal AJAX API) — Uses session cookies from step 1 to call MagicBricks' internal propertyList AJAX endpoint, which returns clean JSON. This is significantly faster than loading full HTML pages for every page.

Run it on a schedule

This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it.

• Schedule runs — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns.
• Connect it to your stack — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed.
• Pull results via API — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it.

Set it once and it runs on its own.
