FAQ

How do I get estate agent phone numbers from Property24? Phone numbers 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 are empty in most records. The agent_name, agency_name, and agent_registration fields are reliably populated.

Can I scrape Property24 listings by province? The actor does not accept a province filter as input — it crawls the full national feed for your chosen country and listing type. Filter the resulting dataset by the province field after the run. Each record carries suburb, city, and province, so scoping to Gauteng or Western Cape is a straightforward post-processing step.

Is it legal to scrape Property24? Property24 listing data is publicly accessible without login. This actor retrieves the same information a browser user would see. Users are responsible for ensuring their downstream use of the data complies with Property24's terms of service and applicable laws.
