Overview
Real Estate Global Listings Scraper
Scrape real estate listings from MagicBricks, Otodom, Hemnet, Imovirtual, Property24, and Aqarmap in one run. Every listing returns price, location, size, and source-specific details in a flat row. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Real estate portals in India, Poland, Sweden, Portugal, South Africa, and Egypt each have their own filters, slugs, and pagination. This Actor queries MagicBricks, Otodom, Hemnet, Imovirtual, Property24, and Aqarmap in parallel, applies each portal's native filters, and returns every match in one fixed schema. No API keys or per-portal scrapers to maintain.

What it does
This Actor collects real estate listings from six international portals and returns each listing as a flat row with source, price, location, and property details.
- 🌍 Six portals, one schema: MagicBricks, Otodom, Hemnet, Imovirtual, Property24, and Aqarmap, normalized into a single flat row.
- 🔍 Native filters per source: city, transaction type, property type, location slug, and sort order, applied exactly as each portal expects.
- ⚡ Parallel scraping: all selected sources are queried at once, so a six-country run finishes in the time of one.
- 📊 Flat output: every listing is one row with source, price, location, size, and property details, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Configure the run
Drive the Actor from the sources array and per-source filters like city, transaction, property type, and location slug. Filters run as each listing is read, so only matches reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.
A first run with the defaults:
{
"maxItems": 10
}
A larger pull:
{
"maxItems": 200
}
Pricing
Pay-per-result: $0.021 per result collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.
| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $2.10 |
| 1,000 results | $21.00 |
| 10,000 results | $210.00 |
New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

Run it

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.
Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your filters. A common cause is a location slug that does not match the portal's current slugs. Try clearing the location field or using the default value, and make sure the transaction and property type enums are valid for that source.
Why are some sources returning fewer listings than expected?
Each portal may cap the number of pages it serves. Also, if you set maxItems low, the Actor stops early. Increase maxItems and ensure your filters are not too restrictive.
Why did the run fail with a timeout?
Scraping six portals in parallel can take a few minutes. If you hit a timeout, try selecting fewer sources or increasing the run timeout in the Actor's settings.
Why are prices missing or in different currencies?
Prices are returned as shown on the portal, including the currency. Some listings may not display a price, especially rentals that say 'price on request'. The price field will be empty in those cases.
Why do I see duplicate listings?
The same property can be listed on multiple portals, or a portal may show the same listing in different categories. The Actor does not deduplicate across sources. Use the source field to filter or deduplicate in your own pipeline.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which real estate portals does this Actor support? | It supports MagicBricks (India), Otodom (Poland), Hemnet (Sweden), Imovirtual (Portugal), Property24 (South Africa), and Aqarmap (Egypt). You can select any subset or leave the sources array empty to query all six. |
| Do I need API keys or logins for any of these portals? | No. The Actor reads the public listing pages directly, so no API registration, OAuth, or portal account is required. |
| How do I filter listings by city or property type? | Each source has its own filter fields in the input. For example, MagicBricks has mb_city and mb_transaction, Otodom has ot_location and ot_estate, and Aqarmap has aq_city and aq_propertyType. Set the ones you need and leave others at their defaults. |
| Can I scrape both sale and rental listings in one run? | Yes, but each source has a single transaction field. To get both sale and rental from the same source, run the Actor twice with different transaction values, or use two separate runs and merge the datasets. |
| What is the maximum number of listings I can scrape? | Free users are limited to 10 items as a preview. Paid users can set maxItems up to 1,000,000 per run. |
| How are the results structured? | Every listing is returned as one flat row with fields like source, price, location, size, and property details. The exact fields are shown in the sample output below. |
| Can I schedule this Actor to run daily or weekly? | Yes, you can schedule it from the Apify console or API. Many users run it daily to track new listings or weekly for market snapshots. |
| What export formats are supported? | You can export the dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify platform, or use the API to pull the data into your own pipeline. |
| Does this Actor handle pagination automatically? | Yes, it follows each portal's pagination until it reaches maxItems or the end of the results. |
| What if a portal changes its layout? | The Actor is maintained and updated when a portal changes. If you notice a break, report it and a fix is usually shipped quickly. |
