How I built a production-ready Property24 scraper as an Apify Actor

calendar_today June 30, 2026 person Asher Samwaka domain apify

With no API or bulk export available, the author built an Apify Actor to scrape 46,000 Property24 listings across seven African countries using a three-phase pipeline of province URLs, city discovery, and batched extraction with asyncio semaphores. Cloudflare blocking was resolved with residential proxies, and a batching fix (500 URLs at a time) prevented memory crashes, covering South Africa (46,044 listings), Namibia (7,400), Kenya, and more at $0.001 per result.
