Technical notes

• Data source: __NEXT_DATA__ embedded Redux state (no scraping of CSS classes — structural JSON extraction only).
• Proxy: Apify RESIDENTIAL GB proxy prefilled — recommended for reliable access.
• Pagination: up to 34 pages × 30 results = ~1,020 properties per search (OTM platform limit).
• Parse confidence: every record includes parse_confidence (0–1) and warnings so you know immediately if OTM changed their data structure.

More scrapers from our toolkit

Building a data pipeline? These actors pair well with this one — each runs on your own Apify account with the same pay-per-result pricing, no subscription:

• Dubai Property Scraper
• Realtor Scraper
• Redfin Scraper
• Rightmove Listings
• Zillow Scraper
• Zoopla Properties Scraper

Chain any of them together from the Integrations tab (the Run succeeded trigger) to build a multi-step workflow — one actor's output feeds the next.

Use it from your existing tools

Use with Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline (MCP)

Load this actor as a tool in your AI assistant. Call it directly from your AI assistant via the Apify MCP server — no Store browsing needed. Paste this into your MCP client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json) and restart the client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-onthemarket-properties-scraper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@apify/actors-mcp-server",
        "--tools",
        "bovi/onthemarket-properties-scraper"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN with your own Apify API token (free at apify.com → Settings → Integrations). Curated to a handful of tools so the agent selects reliably.

Works with Clay

Run this actor as an HTTP enrichment step inside a Clay table:

• Method: POST
• URL: https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/bovi~onthemarket-properties-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token={{apify_token}}
• Body (JSON): map your Clay columns to the actor input (see the Input section above), e.g. {"location": "{{clay_column}}"}

The run finishes synchronously and returns the dataset rows straight into your Clay table. It runs on Apify's cloud under your own token and usage. Synchronous runs must complete within 300 seconds.
