Best Real Estate Sites Scraper APIs & Tools

Real estate portals carry the most structured data on the public web: every listing has a price, bed count, address, and agent, repeated across millions of properties. That regularity makes them worth scraping and makes the sites defensive about it. My top pick for real estate data scraping is ChocoData, because one universal endpoint covers Zillow, Idealista, and Crexi from $19/month, and I compared it against four named alternatives on price, free tier, property targets, and published speed. Every price and feature here comes from the vendor’s own pricing or product page in mid-2026, attributed inline, because review-site numbers go stale fast.

One disclosure up front: bestscraperapi.com earns affiliate commissions from some of the vendors listed here. That does not change which tools make the list, how I rank them, or what I write. Pricing comes straight from each vendor’s own page, and the ranking follows documented price and features.

TLDR comparison

These tools bill in different units, so the starting prices are not comparable on volume. ChocoData and ScraperAPI sell requests or credits; Oxylabs charges per result; Bright Data charges per delivered record; the Apify figure is the actor author’s per-result rate on top of an Apify platform plan. Read the included volume next to each price before you commit.

1. ChocoData

ChocoData wins on coverage-per-dollar. One universal endpoint reaches any property site through the same /api/v1/{site}/{resource} call, so you write one integration instead of one per portal. I review ChocoData here; I did not build it. It earns the #1 slot on real value-per-price: the lowest documented entry point in this list, a no-card free tier, and 250+ dedicated endpoints that make Zillow, Idealista, and Crexi a single call each.

Pricing

Per ChocoData’s pricing page, mid-2026, the Vibe plan is $19/month for 27,000 requests, an effective $0.70 per 1,000. The free plan gives 1,000 requests a month with no card, Pro is $49/month for 82,000 requests, and pay-as-you-go top-ups are $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. Billing runs on a credit model: one request is 5 credits, and JavaScript rendering adds 10 credits per request. Only successful 2xx responses are billed.

Standout features

The service documents 250+ dedicated endpoints across 235 sites, with the dedicated endpoints returning validated, parity-checked structured JSON. For real estate that matters two ways. First, country-matched residential IPs plus retries keep a large pull alive without you running a proxy pool, which is the part that fails on a DIY script once a portal starts throwing 429s. Second, because billing is one credit model across every site, a project that mixes Zillow listings, Idealista prices in Spain, and Crexi commercial records stays on a single bill instead of three vendor invoices.

Best for

Developers and founders building real estate data into a product, who want several portals behind one endpoint before committing to a per-site vendor. ChocoData does not publish named, dedicated real estate endpoints the way it does for some retail sites, so you target property pages through the universal endpoint. If you need a pre-parsed Zillow or Redfin schema out of the box, Bright Data and Oxylabs (below) expose those by name.

2. Oxylabs

Oxylabs is the one to shortlist when you want named, pre-parsed US and EU property targets at the lowest per-result rate. It bills only for successful results and ships maintained scrapers for the major portals, so you skip writing selectors for the ones it covers.

Pricing

Per Oxylabs’ Web Scraper API page, mid-2026, pricing starts at $0.25 per 1,000 results pay-as-you-go, with a free trial up to 2,000 results and no card required. That is the lowest headline per-result rate in this comparison. Oxylabs lists higher monthly subscription tiers on its own pages; confirm the exact plan price and included volume there before you budget, because the product page leads with the pay-as-you-go rate.

Standout features

The dedicated real estate targets Oxylabs lists are Redfin, Idealista, Fotocasa, and MLS, each returning property listings, pricing, sizes, and locations parsed via Oxy Parser. URL-based scraping with raw-HTML or parsed output covers both the “give me the page” and “give me the fields” cases. That makes it a strong fit for US listings (Redfin, MLS) plus the major Spanish portals (Idealista, Fotocasa) on one account.

Best for

Teams whose heaviest targets are the named US/EU portals Oxylabs supports, and who want the cheapest per-result rate on them. If your priority is a Zillow dataset with price history specifically, Bright Data (next) has the maintained collector for it; Oxylabs does not list a named Zillow target.

3. Bright Data

Bright Data is the deepest catalogue of prebuilt property collectors and the best route to a pre-parsed dataset delivered by record. It bills only for records successfully delivered and runs unlimited concurrency, so it scales to enterprise pulls without you managing throughput.

Pricing

Per Bright Data’s Web Scraper API pricing page, mid-2026, the API starts at $1.50 per 1,000 records pay-as-you-go. The Scale plan is $499/month and includes 384,000 records, then $1.30 per 1,000 after. The free tier is 5,000 records a month with no card. The page states you pay only for what is successfully delivered, with no charge for failed deliveries.

Standout features

Bright Data lists more named property collectors than anyone else here: Zillow (general listings, custom filters, and direct-link search), Zoopla for the UK, plus Australia and a wide LATAM and APAC set covering Argentina (Zonaprop, Properati), Mexico (Inmuebles24), Chile (Toctoc), Uruguay (Infocasas), Brazil (Webmotors), and Japan (Suumo). Record-based delivery means you receive parsed property objects rather than raw HTML to post-process.

Best for

A pre-parsed Zillow or Zoopla dataset at scale, or coverage of LATAM and APAC portals that the other vendors do not name. I did not see a named Redfin or Idealista collector on the page, so treat those as custom targets on Bright Data and lean on Oxylabs if they are central to your project.

4. Apify (Crexi actor)

Use a marketplace actor when a specific portal already has a maintained scraper and you would rather not write or run one. For commercial real estate, the Crexi scraper actor by the Prime Scrape community author is the fastest path to data with no scraper to build.

Pricing

Per the actor’s Apify listing, mid-2026, the Crexi scraper is priced at $1.99 per 1,000 results with no monthly rental fee, billing per result on successful runs. It runs on top of an Apify platform plan: the Free plan gives $5 of usage a month with no card, and Starter is $29/month with $29 of monthly credit, per Apify’s pricing page. So your real entry cost is the platform plan plus the per-result rate.

Standout features

The actor returns commercial-real-estate fields including property name, type, status, square footage, lot size, asking price, price per square foot and per acre, full address with latitude and longitude, brokerage name, image and media counts, and listing metadata such as activation date and opportunity-zone status. Results export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.

Where it falls short

Ownership and consistency. A community actor can change pricing or break when Crexi changes its markup, and you depend on the author maintaining it, so read recent runs and reviews before wiring it into a pipeline. For a one-off Crexi pull or a scheduled feed it is excellent; if you outgrow it or need many portals on one bill, the universal-endpoint route (ChocoData) or a named target on Oxylabs or Bright Data scales further.

5. ScraperAPI

ScraperAPI is a general-purpose API marketed for real estate among other verticals. It earns a place for teams already on it whose target portal has no dedicated endpoint elsewhere, where a flexible general fetch beats adding another vendor.

Pricing

ScraperAPI lists a free tier of 1,000 API credits a month plus 5,000 requests in the first 7 days, per its documentation, mid-2026. Its published higher tier I could confirm is a Professional plan at $975/month. The lower-tier (Hobby) price was not loading cleanly from the pricing page when I checked, so confirm it directly on the ScraperAPI pricing page before you budget.

Standout features

ScraperAPI markets structured-data endpoints, JavaScript rendering, geotargeting, and residential proxies, and points its real estate use case at portals like Zillow and Realtor. There is no named, pre-parsed real estate schema the way Oxylabs and Bright Data ship one, so you handle parsing on general property pages. It fits as the fallback fetcher for a portal nobody else covers with a dedicated target.

Best for

Teams already running ScraperAPI who hit a portal without a dedicated endpoint, and who want JS rendering and geotargeting on a general API rather than onboarding a new vendor for one site.

How do they compare on speed and success rate?

On published figures these APIs cluster around 99% success with a few seconds of latency on JavaScript-heavy listing pages. Read them as directional, not head-to-head. The numbers below are approximate, compiled from vendor + public sources, not first-hand: each vendor measures on its own targets under its own conditions, so a 99% from one and a 99.9% from another are not measured the same way. My independent, like-for-like benchmarks are pending; see how we test.

ChocoData is the one that publishes a latency distribution rather than a single number: 2.6 seconds median, 6 seconds at the 95th percentile, and around 10 seconds at the 99th, with those times including residential proxy routing, anti-bot handling, retries, and HTML parsing, per its site in mid-2026. Real estate pages push latency to the high end because listing pages render prices, photo carousels, and map widgets in JavaScript, so the API runs a browser before it can parse.

How to choose the right one

Match the tool to the shape of your job, not the headline price. Here is how I would decide:

My default recommendation for a developer or founder is ChocoData: the single endpoint and $19 entry point let you cover several portals before committing to a per-site vendor. If you outgrow it on volume or need a specific pre-parsed schema, move the heaviest target to Oxylabs (cheapest per result on its named portals) or Bright Data (best for a Zillow or Zoopla dataset). For commercial real estate, the Apify Crexi actor is the fastest path. For the hands-on side, including DIY code and the exact block responses, see the web scraping guide and the guide to scraping without getting blocked.

How we evaluated these

Every price, plan, and feature here comes from each vendor’s own pricing or product page in mid-2026, read directly and attributed inline rather than copied from other review sites. Speed and success figures are approximate, compiled from vendor + public sources, and are not bestscraperapi.com’s own first-hand tests; independent, like-for-like benchmarks against live Zillow, Idealista, and Crexi pages are pending, and the methodology lives at how we test. Scraper-API pricing changes often, so this is current as of mid-2026 and may change: confirm the live number on the vendor’s page before you buy.
