Rightmove Scraper: UK Property for Sale and to Rent

Scrape Rightmove property listings for sale or to rent across the UK: price, address, bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, estate agent branch, added or reduced date, coordinates, photo and link. Search by town, postcode area or a pasted Rightmove 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 Rightmove: 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

• UK property price research by town or postcode area, for sale or to rent.
• New and reduced listings: the added or reduced date shows what changed since your last run.
• Estate agent market share: count listings per agent branch.
• Investor screening: bedrooms, property type and price per listing in one table.

Every result is one row in the run's dataset. Download it as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read it through the Apify API. The main fields:

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab (or call the actor through the API, see below).
2. Fill in Search type, Rightmove 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	Towns, cities, postcode areas or stations such as Manchester, SW1A or Leeds Station, or the location identifier from a Rightmove search URL such as REGION^904. 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.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490 . Filters in the URL are kept.
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.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E904"
  ],
  "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

• Rightmove shows at most 42 pages (about 1,000 listings) per search. For a larger area, search its postcode areas or districts separately.
• Each results page also carries one featured listing; rows are unique by property ID across the whole run.
• Place names are looked up with Rightmove's own place search. When that search is closed to automated access, the run says so: paste search URLs or location identifiers such as REGION^904 instead.
• price is the amount in the listing currency. For rentals it is per calendar month (priceFrequency monthly); priceText shows the figure as advertised.
• propertyType groups the listing into Flat, House, Land or the advertised sub type; propertySubType is Rightmove's own wording.
• 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/rightmove-scraper").call(run_input={"searchUrls": ["https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E904"], "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/rightmove-scraper').call({"searchUrls": ["https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E904"], "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~rightmove-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchUrls": ["https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E904"], "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/rightmove-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then ask, for example: "List houses for sale in Bristol with price, bedrooms and agent."

FAQ

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

No. The actor reads only what every visitor of Rightmove 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 Rightmove 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 Rightmove 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.
