Nethouseprices Scraper (For-Sale / To-Rent / Sold Prices)

Scrape property listings and details from nethouseprices.com without using a real browser (uses Crawlee CheerioCrawler).

This Actor supports:

• For sale / To rent listing pages (/properties-for-sale/..., /properties-to-rent/...)
• For sale / To rent detail pages (/property/details/...)
• Sold prices listing pages by postcode area (/house-prices/RG18, including pagination)
• Sold street detail pages (/house-prices/street-details-sale/...)

It extracts structured data (title, address, price, images, features, description, history, etc.) and stores results to the default dataset.

---

✅ Key features

• Auto-detects URL types and routes parsing accordingly.
• Random delays between requests to reduce burstiness.
• Session rotation (session pool) for more stable scraping.

Note: Some sites block datacenter IPs aggressively. If you still get blocks, enable proxy usage (see Input → proxyConfiguration).

Input fields

• startUrls (array, required): URLs to start from (list pages or detail pages).

Tips to reduce blocks

If you see frequent blocks (403/429 or a 200 response with a challenge page):

1. Enable Apify Proxy:
   • Prefer RESIDENTIAL group for toughest targets.
2. Lower maxResults and run in multiple smaller batches.
3. Keep concurrency low (this Actor uses maxConcurrency: 1 by default).
4. Avoid reusing “poison” cookies:
   • This Actor disables cookie persistence per session by default.

---

Limitations

• Some pages may be intermittently blocked depending on IP reputation.
• Certain fields can appear duplicated on the website itself (e.g., nearest stations / links). The Actor returns what the HTML contains.

---

Changelog

• Switched to CheerioCrawler (no real browser).
• Added random waits, session rotation, and soft-block detection.
• Ensured no phone extraction for sold house pages.
