SS.LV Real Estate Scraper

Extract property listings from ss.lv at scale, in a clean, consistent structure ready for market analysis, valuation models, lead generation and monitoring. No API key required.

Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for Latvia

A dedicated Latvian scraper, not a global tool with a country dropdown. Locations, price formats and currency (EUR) are tuned for ss.lv.

💶 Structured pricing

Asking price or rent as a clean number in EUR, plus price per m². Price-on-request listings return null, never a guess.

🏠 Property characteristics

Rooms, surface, floor, total floors, lift, building series and house type in structured fields, ready for filtering and analysis.

📍 Precise location

City, district and street, plus latitude and longitude where ss.lv publishes a map pin.

🔁 Change detection

Every record carries a contentHash over ID, price and surface, so a daily feed shows at a glance which listings changed and which are unchanged reposts.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	Rīga centre (sell) and Āgenskalns	SS.LV search or category pages to scrape. Use the Latvian (/lv/) paths — the English mirror is disallowed by the site's robots.txt. Pagination is followed automatically.
maxItems	integer	100	Maximum total listings to collect across all start URLs.
fetchDetails	boolean	true	ON: opens every listing and returns description, photos, coordinates, city, district, property type, floor count and publication date. OFF: returns the search-table fields only (faster, fewer requests).
minPrice	integer	(empty)	Skip listings priced below this amount in EUR.
maxPrice	integer	(empty)	Skip listings priced above this amount in EUR.
daysOld	integer	(empty)	Only return listings published within the last N days. Requires fetchDetails, because the publication date is only on the listing page.

---

💰 Pricing

$1.50 per 1,000 results — you only pay for successfully retrieved listings. Failed retries are never charged.

Results	Cost
100	~$0.15
1,000	~$1.50
10,000	~$15
100,000	~$150

Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.90 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the Max items cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

Performance

Run size	Typical time
100 results	1–2 minutes
1,000 results	8–12 minutes
10,000 results	60–90 minutes

Listing pages are fetched sequentially and detail pages three at a time, which keeps the load on ss.lv modest.

Known limitations

• Some fields (facilities, coordinates, agency details) are only returned when the lister publishes them — expect null on a share of records.
• Contact numbers are partially masked by the source; the scraper returns them exactly as displayed and never reconstructs them.
• daysOld needs fetchDetails, because ss.lv publishes the date only on the listing page.
• Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
• Listings can be withdrawn at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

---

Technical details

• Source: ss.lv — Latvia property listings
• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
• Retry: every request carries a hard time wall covering the connect phase; on a timeout or a block the scraper rotates its exit and escalates from a direct connection to a datacenter proxy and then to a Latvian residential IP
• Health: every run writes a HEALTH key that distinguishes an empty search from a broken parser
