Use Crexi Commercial Property Listings & Pricing Extractor with Python

Collects active commercial real estate listings from Crexi across any US state and 14 property types, with asking price, square footage, location, and brokerage details.

1. Choose the data you need

Review the published README for supported collection modes, examples, and limits. The recipe below uses the current published input definition.

2. Prepare a source-based input

This JSON contains published prefills and required-field defaults. Review every value for your task before running it; it is not a promise of successful collection.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`propertyUrls`	array	optional	Paste Crexi property links or IDs (e.g. https://www.crexi.com/properties/123456/name, /lease/properties/987/name, a bare ID, or a property-record link) to fetch those exact listings. A Crexi search URL (https://www.crexi.com/search/...) is also accepted and its filters are reused. Leave empty to search by the filters below.
`transactionTypes`	array	optional	Which Crexi marketplaces to search. Empty = for-sale listings only.
`searchTerms`	array	optional	Free-text keywords matched against listing names, descriptions and addresses (e.g. warehouse, medical office).
`propertyTypes`	array	optional	One or more commercial property categories. Empty searches every type.
`subtypes`	array	optional	Narrow to specific subtypes (e.g. Shopping Center, Medical Office, Warehouse). Note: some subtypes exist only for sale or only for lease listings.
`locations`	array	optional	US states to search, by two-letter code or full name. Each state is searched and combined. Empty searches nationwide.
`cities`	array	optional	City names to filter by (e.g. Austin). Works alongside or instead of states.
`counties`	array	optional	County names to filter by, including the word County where Crexi uses it (e.g. Travis County).
`zipCodes`	array	optional	US ZIP codes to filter by (e.g. 78701).
`minPrice`	integer	optional	Only return listings asking at least this much. Sale and auction listings only.
`maxPrice`	integer	optional	Only return listings asking at most this much. Sale and auction listings only.
`minPricePerSqft`	number	optional	Only return sale listings priced at or above this per square foot.
`maxPricePerSqft`	number	optional	Only return sale listings priced at or below this per square foot.
`minCapRate`	number	optional	Only return sale listings with a published cap rate at or above this percentage.
`maxCapRate`	number	optional	Only return sale listings with a published cap rate at or below this percentage.
`minSquareFootage`	integer	optional	Only return listings whose building is at least this large.
`maxSquareFootage`	integer	optional	Only return listings whose building is at most this large.
`minRatePerSqftAnnual`	number	optional	For-lease listings only: minimum annual rate per square foot.
`maxRatePerSqftAnnual`	number	optional	For-lease listings only: maximum annual rate per square foot.
`buildingClasses`	array	optional	Filter by commercial building class. Empty includes all classes.
`opportunityZoneOnly`	boolean	optional	Only return sale listings located in a designated Opportunity Zone.
`includeUnpriced`	boolean	optional	Include sale and auction listings Crexi shows without a public asking price (auctions, call for offers).
`sortBy`	string	optional	Order of results within each search.
`sortDirection`	string	optional	Ascending or descending order for the sort chosen above.
`scrapeDetails`	boolean	optional	Fetch each listing's detail data: broker contacts (phone and email), the broker of record when published, the full photo gallery in high resolution, investment highlights, the marketing description, published fact-sheet values, and full auction details for auction listings. Adds a few requests per listing.
`includeSimilarProperties`	boolean	optional	Add up to 6 similar nearby listings (comps) to each record.
`maxProperties`	integer	optional	Stop once this many listings have been collected. Crexi returns at most 1,500 rows per filter combination; larger requests are automatically split into price-range partitions.

3. Start an Actor run

Set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment. Python 3.10 or newer is sufficient; this recipe uses no third-party packages.

Execution may incur charges. Review current pricing on Apify. The request asks for a 120-second timeout and a charge limit; these settings are subject to Apify’s pricing and do not guarantee an all-inclusive spending cap.

import json
import os
import urllib.request

# Save the schema-derived example as input.json; review and edit it first.
with open("input.json", encoding="utf-8") as stream:
    actor_input = json.load(stream)

token = os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"]
request = urllib.request.Request(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dZkzHEvhJd9SJS0qj/runs?timeout=120&maxTotalChargeUsd=0.50",
    data=json.dumps(actor_input).encode("utf-8"),
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token, "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    method="POST",
)
# This starts a potentially billable run. Do not automatically retry this POST.
with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=40) as response:
    run = json.load(response)["data"]
print("Run ID:", run["id"])
print("Status:", run["status"])
# Inspect and download results in Apify Console once the run succeeds.

4. Inspect the actual results

Open the run in Apify Console and wait for a successful completion. Use the published output schema to locate results and the dataset schema to understand declared views. Missing or optional record fields must not be treated as guaranteed values.

Dataset of Crexi sale, lease and auction commercial property listings with pricing, cap rate, NOI, sizes, brokers, locations, photos and optional detail enrichment.

Questions before you run

Which inputs are required?

No top-level fields are marked required in the published schema. Conditional requirements can still apply; check the README.

What does this guide verify?

The fields, prefills, and schema links are rendered from the published build. This is a usage recipe, not a paid live extraction test. Source availability and collection results can vary.

What if the run request times out?

Check Apify Console before retrying. The first request may already have created a run. Do not automatically repeat a run-creation POST.
