## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Immovlan Scraper

Scrape Belgian real estate listings from [Immovlan.be](https://immovlan.be) — the property portal backed by DPG Media's VTM network — with prices, property details, agency info, and project data in Dutch, French, or English.

### What is Immovlan Scraper?

**Immovlan Scraper** extracts property listings from Belgium's third-largest real estate platform. Immovlan.be is part of the DPG Media ecosystem (the group behind VTM, HLN, and De Morgen), giving it massive reach among Flemish and Belgian audiences. While Immoweb dominates, Immovlan carries thousands of exclusive listings from agencies that prefer its platform or list across multiple portals.

- **Cover Belgium's full property market:** many agencies list on Immovlan exclusively or before other portals. Scraping Immovlan alongside Immoweb and Zimmo gives you near-complete coverage of the Belgian market
- **Track new development projects:** Immovlan flags project listings separately, with price ranges, bedroom ranges, and surface ranges — ideal for tracking which developers are active and at what price points
- **Monitor regional markets:** filter by Belgian city (Brussel, Gent, Antwerpen, Brugge, Liege, Namur) to build hyperlocal price datasets
- **Generate agency leads:** every listing includes the agency name, making it easy to build a database of active real estate agencies per region
- **Automate multilingual research:** the site supports Dutch, French, and English, so you can scrape listings in whichever language your team works in

The scraper uses **HTTP requests only** (no browser) with Cheerio HTML parsing, making it fast and affordable.

### What data does Immovlan Scraper extract?

🏠 **Title** — listing headline in the selected language
💰 **Price** — asking price in EUR, with **price range** support for projects (min/max)
🏗️ **Property type** — house, apartment, land, garage, office, industrial, commercial, or project
🔑 **Transaction type** — sale (te koop / a vendre) or rent (te huur / a louer)
📍 **Address** — postal code and city
🛏️ **Bedrooms** — count with **range support** for new developments (min/max)
🛁 **Bathrooms** count
📐 **Surface area** — living space in m2 with **range support** for projects (min/max)
⚡ **Energy rating** — EPC score when available
📝 **Description** — listing text up to 2,000 characters
📸 **Listing photo** URL
🏢 **Agency name** — the listing agent
🆔 **Listing ID** — Immovlan's internal reference
🏗️ **Project flag** — boolean indicating whether this is a new development project
🔗 **Direct URL** to the listing on Immovlan.be
🕐 **Scraped timestamp** — when the data was collected

### How to scrape Immovlan.be

Configure the scraper through the Apify Console or via the API. All filters are optional — leave everything blank to scrape all active Belgian listings.

#### Input options

| Input | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| **Transaction Type** | `ForSale` / `ForRent` / All | All | Filter by sale or rent |
| **Property Type** | select | All types | House, Apartment, Land, Garage, Office, Industrial, Commercial |
| **City** | string | All Belgium | Town name or postal code (e.g., `Gent`, `Mariakerke`, `De Pinte`, `9030`). Dutch and French names work, and the usual English ones (Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges) |
| **Min Price** | integer | — | Minimum price in EUR |
| **Max Price** | integer | — | Maximum price in EUR |
| **Min Bedrooms** | integer | — | Minimum bedroom count. Leaves out listings that have no bedroom count on Immovlan |
| **Max Results** | integer | `100` | Maximum listings to return (1 – 5,000) |
| **Language** | `nl` / `fr` / `en` | `nl` | Site language — affects URLs and listing text |
| **Proxy Configuration** | object | — | Recommended — Immovlan uses Akamai bot protection |

#### Tips for best results

- **Use Dutch (`nl`) for the most listings:** Immovlan started as a Flemish platform and still has the deepest coverage in Dutch
- **Enable proxy for reliability:** Immovlan uses Akamai bot protection. Small runs may work without proxy, but for 500+ listings, residential or datacenter proxy is recommended
- **Combine transaction type + city** for targeted research — e.g., all apartments for rent in Gent
- **A town name covers that town only:** `Gent` is postal code 9000. Sub-municipalities such as Mariakerke (9030), Gentbrugge (9050) or Ledeberg (9050) are separate searches. A name shared by several postal codes (`Antwerpen`, `Liège`) covers all of them
- **A search with no matches succeeds with 0 results** and says so in the run status message. The same goes for a town Immovlan does not know
- **Watch for projects:** listings with `isProject: true` represent new developments. Their price, bedrooms, and surface fields may contain ranges (min/max values) rather than single numbers

### Output

Results are stored in a dataset you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML from the Apify Console.

### FAQ

#### What is Immovlan.be?

Immovlan.be is one of Belgium's three major real estate portals, alongside Immoweb and Zimmo. It's owned by DPG Media, the media group behind VTM (Flanders' largest commercial TV network), HLN, and De Morgen. This gives Immovlan significant visibility among Flemish and Belgian audiences. The platform lists properties for sale and rent across all of Belgium, in Dutch, French, and English.

#### How does Immovlan Scraper work?

The scraper fetches search result pages via HTTP (no browser), parses the HTML with Cheerio, and extracts listing data from the search result cards. The city is matched to its postal code, and the result page confirms which town Immovlan searched; the run log names it. Address, bedroom and bathroom counts come from the schema.org data on each card. Pagination is handled automatically.

#### What's the difference between regular listings and projects?

Regular listings represent individual properties (a specific apartment or house). Project listings represent entire new developments with multiple units. Projects are flagged with `isProject: true` and often have price ranges (e.g., EUR 195,000 – 385,000) and bedroom ranges (1 – 3) instead of single values. The `priceMax`, `bedroomsMax`, and `surfaceMax` fields capture the upper end of these ranges.

#### Is it legal to scrape Immovlan.be?

This scraper extracts publicly available property listing data that Immovlan.be displays to all visitors. The data consists of factual real estate information (prices, addresses, property characteristics) published by Belgian real estate agencies. Use the data responsibly and in compliance with Belgian and EU regulations.

#### Does it work for Wallonia and Brussels?

Yes. Immovlan covers all of Belgium — Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels. Set the `language` to `"fr"` for French-language listings or `"en"` for English. City slugs work in any language.

#### How does Immovlan compare to Immoweb?

Immoweb is Belgium's largest property portal, but Immovlan has thousands of listings that aren't on Immoweb, especially from agencies in the DPG Media network. For comprehensive market coverage, scrape both platforms and deduplicate by address or listing characteristics.

### Limitations

- **Belgium only.** Immovlan.be exclusively covers the Belgian real estate market.
- **No detail page scraping.** The current version extracts data from search result pages only. Fields like full descriptions are limited to what's visible in the listing card (up to 2,000 characters).
- **Akamai bot protection** may block requests without proxy. Use datacenter or residential proxy for consistent results.
- **Project listings** provide ranges rather than exact values for price, bedrooms, and surface area. Individual unit details require visiting the project page.
- **Energy ratings** are not always displayed on the search results page and may be `null`.
- **Bedrooms and bathrooms are `null` when Immovlan has no count for the listing.** This is common for offices, shops, land and parking, and for some agency feeds that only put the number of bedrooms in the description text. Set **Min Bedrooms** to get only listings with a known bedroom count.
