A fast, configurable Apify Actor that scrapes property listings from Rightmove (UK) — sale, rent, new homes, commercial, and sold house prices — and returns clean, structured JSON.

Built on Crawlee + Cheerio (with Playwright for the sold-prices SPA), so it's significantly cheaper and faster than browser-only scrapers.

Features

• ✅ 6 search modes — for sale, to rent, new homes, commercial sale, commercial rent, sold prices
• ✅ Search by location text (London, SW1A 1AA, Brighton) — auto-resolves to Rightmove's internal location ID
• ✅ Search by URL — paste any Rightmove search URL or property URL, scraper auto-detects
• ✅ Scrape by property ID — feed a list of IDs directly
• ✅ 70+ fields per property — price, address, agent, photos, EPC, floorplans, station distances, council tax, tenure, listing history, broadband, mortgage helper, and more
• ✅ Smart pagination — handles up to ~1,050 results per search with auto-stop at maxItems
• ✅ Filters — price range, bedrooms, property type, radius, added-to-site, sort order, furnishing
• ✅ Detail toggle — disable detail pages for fast card-only scraping (much cheaper)
• ✅ Built-in IP rotation — proxy is bundled into the Actor; you don't need to configure anything

Input

All fields are optional, but you must provide at least one of:

• startUrls — Rightmove search or property URLs
• propertyIds — list of numeric property IDs
• searchLocation (with searchType) — to build a search

Example inputs

1. Search by location

{
"searchType":"SALE",
"searchLocation":"Brighton",
"minBedrooms":2,
"maxPrice":500000,
"maxItems":100
}

2. Scrape a Rightmove search URL with all defaults

{
"startUrls":[
{"url":"https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?searchType=RENT&locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490&radius=1.0&minBedrooms=2"}
],
"maxItems":50
}

3. Scrape specific properties

{
"propertyIds":["165056381","164778192"]
}

4. Sold house prices

{
"searchType":"SOLD",
"searchLocation":"SW1A 1AA",
"maxItems":50
}

For card-only mode (scrapePropertyDetails: false) the schema is smaller (~30 fields) but extracted in a single request per page (much cheaper).

Tips

• Free-text location not found? Provide a more specific name (e.g. "London Borough of Camden") or paste a Rightmove search URL into startUrls instead.
• Cost control: set maxItems. The scraper enqueues at most maxItems × 1.2 detail requests, so you only pay for what you ask for.
• Rightmove caps search results at ~1,050 per query (42 pages × 25). To go beyond, split your search by sub-region or postcode area.
