What does Rightmove Property Scraper do?
Scrape Rightmove UK property listings for sale and to rent, then export structured data to a Dataset. This Actor is a practical Rightmove API alternative for researchers, agencies, investors, and automations that need clean listing data from Rightmove.
Enter a location (for example London or Manchester) or paste Rightmove search / property URLs. Optionally open each listing detail page to enrich prices, tenure, lettings terms, agent contacts, stations, and photos. Supports all Rightmove listing search categories: residential, new homes, student, commercial, overseas, and retirement.
Worker URL is config, not code: the Actor reads
WORKER_BASE_URLfrom Actor environment variables (plus optional per-runworkerBaseUrl). If you migrate the worker to a new host, updateWORKER_BASE_URL(andWORKER_AUTHif the API key changes) in Apify Console — no Actor code change required. SetWORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY=1when the worker supplies its ownPROXY_URL.
Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer)

|---|---|---|
| Runs of this Actor | 10 total | Unlimited |
| Results per run | Up to 1,000 (maxItems) | Up to schema max (1,050) |
These limits are set by the Actor developer, not Apify. Hitting the run cap finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.

How much does it cost to scrape Rightmove?
This Actor uses Pay per event pricing:
| Event | Price |
|---|---|
Actor start (apify-actor-start) | $0.005 per start |
Result (apify-default-dataset-item) | $2.50 / 1,000 listings ($0.0025 each) |
User pays platform usage costs: No. Platform compute/proxy usage for this Actor is included — you pay the event prices above, not separate Apify usage on top. Keep maxItems low while testing. For production, schedule recurring runs and export only the fields you need.
Example: 1 start + 1,000 enriched listings ≈ $0.005 + $2.50 in event charges.
Tips for better Rightmove scraping results
- Start with
maxPages: 1andmaxItems: 5–25to validate filters. - Use residential GB proxies on Apify Cloud; datacenter IPs often get HTTP 403.
- Keep
maxConcurrencymodest (2–3) to reduce detail-page rate limits. - Prefer Newest Listed (
sortType: "6") when monitoring fresh inventory. - Rightmove search pagination is capped (~42 pages). Split large areas into smaller locations if you need more coverage.
FAQ
Why did my free-plan run stop after 10 runs?
Free Apify plan users get 10 runs of this Actor and up to 1,000 results per run. These limits are set by the Actor developer (not Apify). When you hit the run cap, the run finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.
Is there an official Rightmove API?
Rightmove does not offer a simple public listings API for arbitrary third-party extraction. This Actor provides a Rightmove scraper / API-style Dataset export for public listing pages.
Can I scrape both sale and rent?
Yes. Run once with channel=BUY and once with channel=RENT, or supply separate search URLs in startUrls.
Does it scrape property detail pages?
Yes, when scrapeDetails is enabled. Detail enrichment hydrates Rightmove window.__PAGE_MODEL into full propertyData fields.
What format can I export?
Apify Dataset downloads support JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, and RSS. You can also pull results through the Apify API, Integrations, or webhooks.
Is it legal to scrape Rightmove?
Only scrape publicly available listing data and only if you have a legitimate reason. Personal data may appear in public listings and can be protected by GDPR and similar laws. Review Rightmove terms and your own compliance obligations before large-scale collection. This tool is intended for ethical use of public information.
How do I run this Rightmove Scraper via API?
Use the Apify API, CLI (apify call), or Schedules. Pass the same JSON input shown above. See the API tab on this Actor page for ready-made code snippets.
Live View / standby endpoints
When the Actor runs in standby / Live View mode, these operational endpoints are available:
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
GET | / | Service info |
GET | /health | Health check |
GET | /input-example | Low-cost sample input |
GET | /openapi.json | Deployed OpenAPI document |
Normal scraping still runs as a standard Actor run (not through these endpoints).
