Sothebys International Realty Scraper

Overview

This Apify Actor scrapes detailed property listings from Sotheby's International Realty websites. You provide location queries, and it returns structured data on properties for sale, including price, features, and agent information. It's built on Scrapy for performance and handles common scraping challenges like dynamic content.

Key Features

• Location-based scraping: Fetch listings by specifying cities or regions.
• Controlled data volume: Set an item_limit to cap the number of properties scraped.
• Comprehensive data: Extracts title, location, price, property features, and marketing agent details.
• Proxy support: Uses residential proxies by default to avoid geo-blocks and detection.
• Structured JSON output: Results are delivered in a consistent format for easy processing.
• Error resilience: Manages rate limits and dynamic page content gracefully.
