Fotocasa Scraper: Spain Homes for Sale and Rent

Scrape Fotocasa property listings for sale or to rent across Spain: price, price drop, rooms, bathrooms, surface, floor, features, neighbourhood and city, coordinates, photos, agency and publication date. Search by place or paste a Fotocasa search URL.

• Pay per result row: the platform usage of the run is included, and a run that finds nothing has no result charges.
• No login, no cookies, no account on Fotocasa: public pages only.
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read the rows through the Apify API.
• Start it from the Console, on a schedule, through the API, or as a tool for agents over MCP.
• Tested every day on its example input, with the rows checked, and repaired when a check fails.

What you can use it for

• Property price research for a Spanish city or neighbourhood, for sale or to rent.
• Price drop alerts: schedule a search and compare prices between runs.
• Investor screening: rooms, bathrooms, surface and price per listing in one table.
• Agency market share: count listings per agency in an area.

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab (or call the actor through the API, see below).
2. Fill in Search type, Fotocasa search URLs; the form opens with a working example.
3. Set Maximum results to cap the size and the cost of the run.
4. Click Start. Rows appear on the Output tab while the run works.
5. Download the dataset, or connect it to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n or a webhook.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
locations	array	no	Fotocasa place slugs such as madrid-capital, barcelona-capital or valencia-capital. The slug is the part of a Fotocasa search URL after viviendas/, for example madrid-capital in https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l . Add a zone after a slash to narrow the search, for example madrid-capital/chamberi. One search is run per entry.
channel	select	no	Properties for sale or to rent. Applies to the locations above. Allowed: buy, rent. Default: "buy".
searchUrls	array	no	Search result pages copied from your browser, for example https://www.fotocasa.es/es/alquiler/viviendas/valencia-capital/todas-las-zonas/l . Extra parts of the address are kept, and the run always starts at page 1.
includeZones	boolean	no	Fotocasa's robots.txt leaves only the first page of each search open to automated clients, about 30 listings. When this is on, a search of a whole place also reads the first page of each district and neighbourhood Fotocasa lists for it, which collects many more listings. Turn it off to read only the first page of each search. Default: true.
maxItems	integer	no	The run stops after this many result rows. It also caps what one run can cost. Default: 100.
proxyConfiguration	object	no	Leave as is: the run starts on the cheapest network the site accepts and switches to Apify Proxy automatically when the site blocks it. Pick proxy groups here only to force one specific network.

Example input:

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l"
  ],
  "channel": "buy",
  "maxItems": 20
}

Pricing

You pay per result row in the dataset (the current price per 1,000 results is on the Pricing tab). A run that finds nothing produces no rows and no result charges. Set Maximum results to cap what a single run can cost.

Limits and notes

• Coverage: homes for sale and to rent on fotocasa.es. Fotocasa's robots.txt closes every results page after the first, so one search returns the first page, about 30 listings. A search of a whole place therefore also reads the first page of each district and neighbourhood Fotocasa lists for it (switch off with includeZones), which gives up to about 30 listings per zone. Rows are unique by property ID across the whole run.
• Large zones are not read to the end. To go deeper, search smaller zones: add place slugs with a zone such as madrid-capital/chamberi, or paste the address of a district or neighbourhood page.
• Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are never collected, and any found inside an agency description are removed. Descriptions are clipped to about 300 characters.
• Listings from private sellers are reduced to area level (no street, no map point, no description) so no private person can be identified. They carry sellerType private and no agency, name or seller link.
• Agency listings report the agency name and its Fotocasa page, the street shown in the advert and the map point (rounded to six decimals).
• price is a number in euros. For rentals it is the amount per rentPeriod (monthly); priceText shows the figure as advertised. priceReduction is the amount by which the price was lowered, when the advert shows one.
• floor is the storey above ground (0 is the ground floor) and is given for the ground floor up to the fifth floor; it is empty when the advert has no floor or Fotocasa's code for it is not decoded.
• features lists the amenity flags Fotocasa shows for the advert, such as elevator, parking or air_conditioner. Fotocasa's own flag not_furnished means the home is let or sold unfurnished.
• Search addresses that carry price, room or bathroom filters, or sort by date, are closed to automated access in Fotocasa's robots.txt and are refused; paste the plain place address instead.
• A place slug Fotocasa does not know stops the run with an input error. Copy the slug from a Fotocasa search address in your browser.
• Only publicly visible data is collected. No login, no paywalled content, no personal contact details.
• The actor reads only pages that the site's robots.txt leaves open to automated access.
• Sites change their pages from time to time. The actor is checked automatically and repaired when a check fails.
• Each run sends one short usage record to the developer: the Actor and run IDs, the number of results, whether the run succeeded (and if not, the kind of error, such as "blocked" or "input problem"), whether the account is on a paid Apify plan, how the run was started (for example from the Console, the API or a schedule) and a one-way fingerprint of the account (a hash, not the account ID), so that repeat runs of one account count once. It contains nothing from your input or results.

Run it through the API

Python, with the apify-client package:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("v0iddo/fotocasa-scraper").call(run_input={"searchUrls": ["https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l"], "channel": "buy", "maxItems": 20})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript, with the apify-client package:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('v0iddo/fotocasa-scraper').call({"searchUrls": ["https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l"], "channel": "buy", "maxItems": 20});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

One HTTP call that waits for the run and returns the rows (for runs that finish within 5 minutes):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/v0iddo~fotocasa-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchUrls": ["https://www.fotocasa.es/es/comprar/viviendas/madrid-capital/todas-las-zonas/l"], "channel": "buy", "maxItems": 20}'

Use it from an agent (MCP)

Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients can call this actor as a tool through the Apify MCP server. Add it to the client's MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=v0iddo/fotocasa-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then ask, for example: "List flats to rent in Valencia with price, rooms and surface."

FAQ

Do I need an account on Fotocasa, cookies or an API key?

No. The actor reads only what every visitor of Fotocasa can see, without logging in. You only need an Apify account to start it.

How many results can one run return?

Up to 5,000 rows per run. Without a limit it stops at 100. Set Maximum results to the number you need; large jobs can also be split into several runs or scheduled.

How am I charged?

Per result row in the dataset, at the price on the Pricing tab for your Apify plan. The platform usage of the run is included in that price. A run that finds nothing produces no rows and no result charges, and your spending limit for a run is always respected.

Why did my run return no results?

The status message of the run says why: nothing matched the input, the input was not a page the actor understands, the page is closed to automated access by robots.txt, or the site refused every network the actor tried. Check the input against the example above and run it again with a small limit.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Save your input as a task and add a schedule in the Apify Console (daily, hourly or with a cron expression). Each run gets its own dataset, so you keep a history.

Which formats can I export?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table and RSS from the Output tab or the API. Integrations send the rows to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n or a webhook.

Is collecting this data allowed?

The actor collects only what Fotocasa publishes to every visitor, without a login, and it reads only pages that robots.txt leaves open. Public data can still be personal data under laws such as the GDPR, and sites have their own terms: make sure your use of the data follows the rules that apply to you.

What happens when Fotocasa changes its pages?

Automated tests run the actor every day on the example input and check the rows, not only that the run finished. When a check fails, the actor is repaired and rebuilt; the build history on this page shows each update.

Something is missing or wrong. Where do I report it?

Open an issue on the Issues tab of this actor with the run link. Requests for a new field are welcome too.
