spitogatos.gr Actor

An Apify actor that scrapes real estate listings from Greek property portals like Spitogatos.gr. It automates data collection for apartments and houses listed for rent or sale.

Overview

This actor navigates specified property websites, discovers all relevant listings, and extracts structured data from each one. It's designed for automation, lead generation, and market analysis.

Key Features

• Targeted Scraping: Starts from user-provided URLs (e.g., https://www.spitogatos.gr/apartments-for-rent) and crawls subsequent result pages.
• Comprehensive Data Extraction: Captures 25+ details per listing, including:
  • Exact location and GPS coordinates.
  • Price (sale/rent).
  • Property size (square meters) and room layout.
  • Contact phone numbers.
  • High-quality photos.
  • Amenities and features.
• Configurable Crawl: Control search depth with the "Max Pages" setting.
• Reliability Features: Includes automatic retry for failed pages (up to 5 times), concurrent requests (default 20), and proxy rotation to avoid blocks.
• Structured Output: Data is delivered in multiple ready-to-use formats.

How to Use

1. Configure Input: Set the required parameters in the actor's input.
2. Run: Start the actor. It will navigate, scrape, and process the listings.
3. Get Results: Download the dataset once the run completes.
