What can you do with it?

• I am a market researcher tracking average rental prices per square meter across major Chinese tech hubs (like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou) to analyze residential migration trends.
• I am a corporate lead generator sourcing direct owner listings and landlord contact details, bypassing broker intermediation fees.

Tips & Best Practices

• Decrypted Price & Area Values. 58.com obfuscates numbers using dynamic, custom-generated web fonts on every page load. The Actor automatically parses the page styles, downloads the .woff font file, and decodes the Unicode glyphs back to correct, readable digits in real-time.
• Local Sliding-CAPTCHA Solver. When 58.com serves a sliding puzzle verification, the Actor automatically triggers a native curve-matching algorithm to resolve the slide locally, requiring zero paid CAPTCHA solvers.
• Bypass Chinese Geoblocks. 58.com applies aggressive geoblocks to traffic originating outside mainland China. Ensure proxyConfiguration is set to use premium rotating residential proxies to guarantee unblocked execution.

FAQ

Does it get blocked by 58.com?

No. The scraper natively routes through premium, rotating Residential Proxies. This makes the automated browser traffic look identical to regular domestic Chinese residential users, bypassing firewall checks cleanly.

Does it extract private phone numbers?

No. 58.com strictly protects landlord and broker phone numbers behind dynamic click-walls and SMS verification. To avoid verification blocks, the scraper retrieves full seller names, compound names, and listing details instead of phone numbers.

How fresh is the data?

Extremely fresh. The scraper executes live browser rendering on every query, retrieving the absolute latest properties posted on the 58.com marketplace in real-time.

Are all categories supported?

Yes. The scraper supports both major real estate categories: ershoufang (For-Sale / 二手房) and chuzu (Rentals / 租房).
