Idealista Scraper API

Extract property listings, rental prices, floor plans, and neighborhood data from Idealista, the largest real estate portal in Southern Europe. Stealth browsing with CAPTCHA solving bypasses aggressive anti-bot protection across Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Built on spider-browser .

Idealista is the dominant real estate marketplace in Spain, Italy, and Portugal, with millions of active listings for sales, rentals, and commercial properties. Its aggressive anti-bot measures make automated data collection difficult without specialized tooling. Spider handles CAPTCHA solving, fingerprint rotation, and residential proxies so you get reliable property data at scale.
