Rightmove Scraper — UK Property Listings

What this Actor scrapes

Rightmove is the UK's largest property portal and publishes no public API. This Actor is your Rightmove scraper: search by location, filter by price, bedrooms, or listing type (for-sale or to-rent), and optionally enrich each result with detail-page data — agent phone, full description, floor plan URL, and EPC graph image. Built on curl-cffi with browser TLS impersonation; every request looks like a real browser visit from a UK residential IP.

Rightmove's site actively resists automated access. We run the gauntlet so you get clean rows.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi replays real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes so every request looks like a real browser, not a script.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — a fresh UK exit IP on every session, automatically swapped whenever the target pushes back.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per page with Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — we slow down when Rightmove signals overload instead of hammering until banned.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable property IDs, ready for JSON / CSV / Excel export.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for rows that land in your dataset. No data, no charge.

Use cases

• Property-market analytics — track price-per-square-foot trends across UK postcodes over time.
• Buyer alerting — daily diff for new sub-£500k 2-bed flats in your target postcode.
• Landlord intelligence — aggregate to-rent rows by postcode to estimate rental yields across a portfolio.
• Agent prospecting — build a directory of UK estate agents using agent_name + agent_phone from each listing.
• Floor-plan + EPC enrichment — detail-page data that cheaper competitors miss entirely: full description, floor plan URL, and EPC graph image.
• UK property data API substitute — Rightmove's official data access is restricted to registered agents. This Actor gives PropTech founders a clean postcode-property-data feed without a partner contract.

Input
