Rightmove Scraping API
Extract UK real estate listings, rental properties, and sold price data from Rightmove. Perfect for property investors, estate agents, and analysts tracking the UK housing market.
Use Cases
How teams use this API to build powerful applications
UK Property Investors
Investors use the API to gauge potential deals by comparing asking prices to recent sold prices. For example, scrape all listings in a postcode and the sold data for that area to identify properties priced below market value.
Estate Agents
Agencies can monitor competitor listings and rental rates. Scrape new listings daily in their service areas to see pricing trends, and use sold data to advise clients with up-to-date comps.
Renters & Buyers
Prospective renters or homebuyers can gather data on available properties to make informed decisions. Rather than manually checking Rightmove, they could scrape their target area to get a full inventory and even historical sale info of a property (if it was sold before).
Market Analysts
Economists and housing market analysts can pull large datasets of listings and prices across the UK. Analyze trends like how London prices compare to other regions, or how rental yields stack up when comparing rents and sale prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Rightmove API
Does this include Zoopla or just Rightmove?
This API is focused on Rightmove data. Rightmove is one of the UK’s largest property portals. If you need Zoopla or others, those would require separate scraping solutions. We currently specialize in Rightmove for UK property.
How often is sold data updated?
Sold data on Rightmove comes from the Land Registry and typically lags a few months after the sale date. Our scraper will pull whatever is available on Rightmove’s “House Prices” section for a given area. It’s as current as Rightmove provides, but not real-time; expect a delay from actual sale to appearing online.
Can I find out how long a property has been on the market?
Yes, the property details often include a “first listed on Rightmove” date or the listing history (including price drops). We capture the listing date and any price change history shown on the page, which can help gauge time on market.
Will scraping Rightmove get blocked?
We implement IP rotation and emulate realistic browsing, so our scrapes are designed to avoid detection. Rightmove doesn’t provide an official public API, so scraping is the workaround – we ensure it’s done responsibly. If you stick to reasonable usage as per your plan, it’s unlikely you’ll hit blocking issues (and if so, we handle retries/backoff automatically).
