Imovirtual Scraper: Portugal property listings and prices

Scrape Imovirtual.com, one of Portugal's biggest property portals, for apartments, houses (moradias), land, commercial property, warehouses, garages, rooms and new developments (empreendimentos), for sale or for rent, anywhere in Portugal including Madeira and the Azores. Type a place such as Lisboa, Porto or Cascais. Every listing comes with the price in euros, price per m², area, typology (T0, T1, T2 …), floor, district, municipality, parish and zone, the seller type and the agency or developer, plus photos. Turn on listing details to add the full description, GPS coordinates, bathrooms, building year, energy certificate, features, floor plans, the agency's AMI licence and its reference number. No login, no cookies, no Imovirtual account.

How to use it

1. Enter one or more locations, e.g. Lisboa, Porto, Cascais, Vila Nova de Gaia or Funchal. Leave it empty to search all of Portugal.
2. Choose For sale / For rent and the property type.
3. Set Max listings and any filters, then run.

Each location is searched separately. Max listings is the total for the run, shared fairly between your locations.

FAQ

Do I need an Imovirtual account, cookies or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public pages any visitor sees. It never logs in and needs nothing from you except a search.

How do I enter a location? Type a place the way Imovirtual writes it: a municipality (Lisboa, Porto, Cascais, Funchal), a parish with its municipality (Estoril, Cascais) or a district (Lisboa district, distrito de Faro). Lisboa on its own means the city (the municipality); add "district" for the whole district. English names work for the big ones (Lisbon, Oporto, Algarve, Madeira). You can also paste a location path from a result's locationPath column, or an Imovirtual search URL.

What if Imovirtual doesn't know my location? That location is skipped and not charged, and the run's status message says so. Your other locations still run.

How many listings can I get? All of them. Set Max listings to 0 to get everything your searches find. Imovirtual shows 72 listings per page, and the scraper pages through all of them.

How fast is it? A results page holds 72 listings and loads in about 2 seconds, so 1,000 listings take about half a minute. Include listing details opens every listing page, which is slower (about 2 listings per second). Leave it off unless you need coordinates, the energy certificate or the full description.

What is an "OLX listing"? Imovirtual also shows ads that were posted on OLX.pt. Their seller is an OLX user (often a private person), so they're marked sellerType: "olx-listing" and, like private owners, come without a name.

Why don't I see the seller's phone number? The scraper never collects phone numbers, and private owners are always anonymous: no name, no contact details. Phone numbers and personal e-mail addresses inside descriptions are replaced with [phone removed] and [email removed]. Agencies and developers are businesses: you get their name, profile link, office address, AMI licence and the name of their contact person for the listing.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If Imovirtual refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them, and carries on without them when it doesn't.

What does a run cost? You pay per listing saved, a separate fee per listing whose details were loaded, and a small fee per run. See the Pricing tab. Listings that are filtered out, skipped or duplicated are never charged.

Is it legal to scrape Imovirtual? This Actor only collects publicly available data: property listings that anyone can view on Imovirtual without an account. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. Results can include the names of agencies' contact people, and that counts as personal data; private owners' names and everyone's phone numbers are never collected. You must follow privacy laws such as GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA, as well as Imovirtual's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from pages Imovirtual shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches private accounts, never reaches password-protected areas, and follows Imovirtual's robots.txt.
