## Pricing

from $3.50 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `queries` | Yes | UK locations to search (e.g., "London", "Manchester", "SW1A"). |
| `maxResults` | No | Maximum listings to return. Default `10`. |
| `searchType` | No | `buy` for sale, `rent` for lettings. Default `buy`. |
| `minPrice` | No | Minimum price in GBP. |
| `maxPrice` | No | Maximum price in GBP. |
| `minBedrooms` | No | Minimum bedroom count (0-10). |
| `maxBedrooms` | No | Maximum bedroom count (0-10). |

### Use cases

- **Estate agents & lettings agencies**: Monitor competitor stock, pricing, and time-on-market in your postcode.
- **Property investors**: Track price reductions and new-to-market listings across target areas.
- **Market analysts**: Build UK price-per-sqft datasets by area, tenure, and property type.
- **Proptech builders**: Power valuation, relocation, and home-search tools with live supply data.

### Limitations

- Agent phone numbers populated for ~70% of listings (some agents hide direct numbers).
- Property size (sq ft) available for ~50% of listings — sellers don't always publish it.
- Rightmove search returns a maximum of ~1,000 results per location query; narrow with filters for larger areas.
- Floor plans and video tours are linked via `url` but not extracted as structured fields.

### Compared to alternatives

- **vs. dhrumil/rightmove-scraper**: Same field set, delivered at a lower cost per result.
- **vs. Rightmove's own Data Services**: Rightmove API access is limited to verified agents with six-figure contracts; this actor gives any buyer structured data with no minimum.

### FAQ

**Does this cover Scotland and Northern Ireland?**
Yes. Use city names like "Edinburgh" or "Belfast" as queries.

**Can I scrape by postcode?**
Yes. Use full or outer postcodes (e.g., "SW1A" or "M1") as queries.

**Does it include commercial property?**
Residential only. Commercial Rightmove listings are on a separate domain and not supported here.

**How often is pricing updated?**
Data is pulled live at run time — as fresh as Rightmove itself.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
