OnTheMarket Scraper: UK property for sale and to rent

Scrape OnTheMarket.com, the UK property portal, by town, city, area or postcode district — homes for sale or to rent. Every listing comes with the price and price qualifier (guide price, offers over…), monthly and weekly rent for lettings, bedrooms, bathrooms, street and postcode district, map coordinates, tenure, labels such as reduced or only on OnTheMarket, the estate agent branch with its phone number, and photos. Optionally add the full description, EPC rating, floor area, council tax, broadband speed, nearest stations and schools, floorplans and virtual tours. Filter by property type, price, bedrooms and how recently a listing was added. No login, no cookies, no OnTheMarket account.

OnTheMarket shows at most 1,000 results per search. When a location has more, this scraper carries on area by area (London → East London → Hackney…), so large cities come through complete, with duplicates removed.

How to use it

1. Enter one or more locations: a town or city (Bristol, Manchester), an area (East London, Central London) or a postcode district (SW11, BS15).
2. Choose For sale or To rent, a property type if you like, and set Max listings (0 = everything).
3. Add filters — price, bedrooms, added in the last 24 hours or 7 days — and run.

Each location is searched separately; Max listings is shared fairly between them.

Every row has the same columns; a value the listing doesn't state is null (or an empty list). The description, EPC, floor area, council tax, broadband, stations, schools, floorplans and branch address are filled when Include property details is on. For rentals, price is the monthly rent, pricePeriod is month and priceWeekly the weekly equivalent.

FAQ

Do I need an OnTheMarket 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 location.

Which locations can I use? Towns, cities, areas and postcode districts as OnTheMarket names them: Bristol, Bath, East London, SW11. A place OnTheMarket doesn't know is skipped, not charged, and named in the run's status message. For anything unusual, open it on OnTheMarket and paste the search URL.

How do the price and bedroom filters work? The scraper applies them itself while it reads the results (OnTheMarket asks crawlers not to use those search parameters, and this scraper respects that). Listings that don't match are dropped and never charged. Very narrow filters on a large area can take longer to find matches, so a search stops early, with a note, if almost nothing in it matches — use a smaller area or wider filters.

How many listings can I get? All of them. OnTheMarket stops each search at 1,000 results; when a location has more and you ask for more, the run continues through its sub-areas and removes duplicates. Turn off Split large searches to keep only the first 1,000 per location.

How fast is it? About one page of 30 listings per second, so 1,000 listings take under a minute. Include property details opens every property page and adds about a second per listing.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one. If OnTheMarket refuses datacenter IPs for a while, the run switches to UK 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, per location searched, and a small fee per run; property details are a separate, optional charge. See the Pricing tab. Listings that are filtered out are never charged, and neither are locations OnTheMarket doesn't recognise.

Is it legal to scrape OnTheMarket? This Actor only collects publicly available data: property listings that anyone can view on OnTheMarket without an account. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. Results include estate agent branches' business names, phone numbers and office addresses; property addresses are what the agent publishes (usually street and town with the postcode district — the full postcode is never output), and the scraper removes personal e-mail addresses and phone numbers from description text. You must follow privacy laws such as UK GDPR, GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA, as well as OnTheMarket'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 OnTheMarket shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches saved searches, accounts or contact forms, and follows OnTheMarket's robots.txt.
