Realtor.ca Scraper

Extract Canadian property listings from realtor.ca (CREA MLS) at scale — for sale, for rent and recently sold. Search by city or paste a map URL, then filter by price, bedrooms, bathrooms, property type and more. Every record carries price, address, geo-coordinates, size, photos and listing-agent business contact. No API key required.

Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Canadian real estate

A dedicated realtor.ca scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Currency (CAD), province parsing and MLS fields are tuned for realtor.ca.

🗺️ Complete map coverage

Searches a whole city or region by recursively splitting the map into tiles, so dense urban areas are fully covered instead of being truncated at the API's per-query cap.

📄 Rich listing data

Price, full address, city, province, postal code, latitude/longitude, bedrooms, bathrooms, interior size (sqft and m²), lot size, year built, parking, annual property tax, maintenance fee, photos and description on every record.

🏢 Listing-agent contact

Agent name, position, phone, brokerage and brokerage phone where realtor.ca publishes them as professional listing contact — business information only.

🏷️ Sale, rent and sold

Switch between active for-sale, for-rent, and recently-sold listings, with an optional "sold within N days" filter.

Performance

Run size	Typical time
100 results	1–3 minutes
1,000 results	8–15 minutes
10,000 results	60–100 minutes

Dense metros are split into more tiles, which adds requests; wide rural areas resolve faster. Enabling fetchDetails adds one page load per listing and roughly doubles these times.

---

Known limitations

• realtor.ca caps results per map query; the scraper works around this by tiling, but extremely dense downtown cores can still miss a small tail of listings.
• sizeInteriorM2 / sizeInteriorSqft depend on the listing agent entering a size; many listings leave it blank.
• Open-house data is only present when the listing has a scheduled open house, and never for sold listings.
• Agent details are professional listing contact only; no personal or non-listing PII is collected.

---

Technical details

• Source: realtor.ca — Canadian MLS (CREA)
• Coverage: nationwide, by city or map area
• Anti-bot: requests use Apify Residential proxy (Canada) with session warmup to clear Incapsula
• Retry: automatic retry with exponential backoff and a circuit breaker
