Bien Ici French Real Estate Scraper

Bien Ici French Real Estate Scraper

Scrape French real estate listings from Bien Ici by transaction type, property category, price, surface, rooms, and postal code, up to a million per run. Every listing returns its price, surface, rooms, location, DPE rating, photos, and agency contact. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Bien Ici aggregates listings from dozens of French real estate agencies, but browsing by hand means clicking through pages and copying data. This Actor reads the public search API directly, so you can pull every flat, house, parking spot, or commercial property that matches your filters in one run. It works for both sale and rental listings across all of France, from Paris to Lyon to Marseille.

Who uses it	What they scrape Bien Ici for
Real estate investors	Screen entire cities for undervalued properties that meet a hard surface and price ceiling.
Market analysts	Track asking prices per square meter by arrondissement to feed a quarterly report.
PropTech builders	Populate a listing database or alert system with fresh Bien Ici inventory every hour.
Agency competitors	Monitor which properties rival agencies are listing and at what price.

What it does

This Actor collects Bien Ici real estate listings filtered by transaction type, property type, price, surface, rooms, bedrooms, and postal code, and returns each one as a flat row.

• 🏠 Transaction type: switch between buy and rent to pull the right inventory.
• 🏢 Property type filter: narrow to flats, houses, lofts, castles, parking, land, offices, shops, and more, or leave empty for all types.
• 💰 Price range: set a min and max price in EUR; for rent this is monthly rent, for buy it is the total asking price.
• 📐 Surface and rooms: filter by minimum and maximum living surface in m², minimum rooms, and minimum bedrooms.
• 📍 Postal code targeting: restrict results to a single department or city prefix, like 75 for Paris, 69 for Lyon, or 13 for Marseille, or leave empty for nationwide coverage.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

What you can do with Bien Ici data

📈 Build a city-wide price index.

A data journalist runs the Actor weekly with transactionType=buy and a Lyon postal code prefix, then computes the median price per m² by neighborhood for a housing affordability story.

🏡 Feed a buyer alert bot.

A developer sets transactionType=buy, propertyType=house, surfaceMin=80, and priceMax=300000, then pipes new listings into a Telegram channel so first-time buyers see them within minutes.

🏢 Audit the rental market.

A property manager scrapes all rental flats in Marseille with roomsMin=2 and priceMax=1200 to benchmark their own portfolio against the open market.

🏗️ Source commercial deals.

An investor filters propertyType to office, shop, premises, and land, sets a priceMax, and exports the CSV to a spreadsheet for cold outreach to listing agencies.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your filters are not too restrictive. Try removing the postalCode, widening the price range, or leaving propertyType empty to see if listings exist for that combination.

The run stopped before reaching my maxItems.

The Actor stops when Bien Ici has no more listings matching your filters. Lower your maxItems or broaden your filters if you expected more volume.

I only see listings from one city when I wanted nationwide results.

Remove the postalCode input entirely. Leaving it empty tells the Actor to search all of France without a geographic restriction.

The price filter does not seem to work for rentals.

For rent listings, the priceMin and priceMax values apply to the monthly rent in EUR, not the total cost. Make sure your numbers reflect a monthly budget.

Some listings are missing the DPE rating.

Bien Ici only shows the DPE when the agency has provided it. The Actor returns whatever is publicly available; missing DPE fields will be empty in your dataset.
