Limitations

  • Agent contact details — Phone numbers and email addresses are loaded via a separate API call on the portal and are not available in the scraped HTML. The agent_phone and agent_email fields will be empty in most records.
  • EAAB registration — Only available for South African (ZA) listings where the agent has listed their registration number in their profile.
  • Residential proxies required — Property24 blocks datacenter IPs. The default proxy configuration uses Apify residential proxies, which are included in your Apify plan.
  • Listing completeness — Very new listings (under a few hours old) may be indexed in the listing feed but not yet fully rendered on the detail page.
