Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Rightmove Property Scraper Extract UK property listings from any Rightmove search — price, address, bedrooms, and type — plus per-property detail with the listing history and the selling agent's phone and contact. Great for lead generation and market research. For sale or to rent. No account or login required. ### ⚠️ A UK (GB) residential proxy is required Rightmove only serves real data to UK visitors. Leave the proxy on **Residential, country United Kingdom** (this is the default) — otherwise the site returns no data. This one setting is already filled in for you; just press **Run**. ### Why use this actor - **No account, login, or API key required.** - **Every listing from a search** — collect the full result set behind any Rightmove search URL (location, price, beds, sale or rent — apply your filters, then paste the URL). - **Agent contact for lead-gen** — each record includes the selling agent's name and phone number. - **Full property detail on demand** — bedrooms, bathrooms, tenure, size, key features, nearest stations, description, and the listing history (e.g. "Reduced on 27/06/2025"). - **Stable JSON output** ready for spreadsheets, CRMs, databases, or market-research pipelines. - Runs on a schedule, retries automatically, and exports to JSON, CSV, or Excel. ### How it works 1. Pick a **mode** — `search` (list every property behind a search URL) or `detail` (full record for specific properties). 2. Paste your Rightmove search URLs, or the property URLs / IDs you want detail for. 3. Keep the proxy on Residential + United Kingdom (default). 4. Run it. The actor collects each property, flattens the key lead fields (agent name, phone, URL) to the top level, and pushes one record per property. You do not manage any scrapers, browsers, or blocks — the actor handles that automatically and returns clean records. ### Input #### Mode: `search` (list from search URLs) ```json { "mode": "search", "startUrls": [ "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490" ], "maxItemsPerSearch": 0, "maxItems": 200, "maxConcurrency": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "GB" } } ```` #### Mode: `detail` (full property + agent + listing history) ```json { "mode": "detail", "propertyUrls": [ "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/155320229" ], "maxItems": 200, "maxConcurrency": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"], "apifyProxyCountry": "GB" } } ``` | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `mode` | string | `search` = collect listings from search URLs. `detail` = full record for specific properties. | | `startUrls` | array | Rightmove search-results URLs (used in `search` mode).

This is the default — do not switch it off. - **Search cap:** Rightmove only lets you browse ~1000 results per search. For larger areas, split into several narrower searches (by postcode, price band, or property type). - **`priceHistory`** is populated only when Rightmove exposes recorded price changes for a listing; the `listingHistory` / `addedOrReduced` fields always carry the latest "Added / Reduced on" signal. ### Other actors See the sibling scrapers in this collection for freelance-marketplace gigs and hotel prices. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): search = collect listings from Rightmove search URLs. detail = pull full detail (price history + agent contact) for specific properties. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Used in search mode. Paste Rightmove search-results URLs with your filters applied (location, price, beds, sale/rent). Copy the address-bar URL after searching on rightmove.co.uk.

Paste Rightmove property page URLs (https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/123456789) or bare numeric property IDs. Each yields one detailed record with price history and the selling agent's phone/contact. ## `maxItemsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Search mode only. Cap the number of listings collected per search URL. 0 = all available (Rightmove browsable results cap ~1000 per search). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Overall cap on records pushed for the whole run. 0 = no limit. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): How many search URLs / property pages to fetch in parallel. Keep low with sticky residential sessions. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): REQUIRED: Rightmove is behind Fastly/Varnish and returns 403 to datacenter and non-UK IPs. A UK (GB) residential proxy is mandatory to receive real data. The default is Apify Residential, country GB. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "startUrls": [ "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490" ], "propertyUrls": [ "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/155320229" ], "maxItemsPerSearch": 0, "maxItems": 200, "maxConcurrency": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "GB" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
