Nestoria’s public API: what it was, and your options today
Nestoria, the property search engine run by Lokku, offered a free public API for searching its listings for many years. Its documentation is hard to reach today and we couldn’t confirm the API still works, so check with Nestoria before you build on it. Because Nestoria aggregates listings from other sites, the original portals and official price data are often better sources, and you can collect public pages with your own scraper and residential proxies.
Residential from $1.50/GB, mobile from $2.00/GB. No concurrent session limit, and unused bandwidth rolls over.
Not affiliated with Nestoria. ProxyEmpire doesn’t sell a Nestoria API or scraper. We provide the residential and mobile proxies, and the proxy management API, that your own scraper or data tool runs on. Our Scraping API is coming soon.
Does Nestoria have an API?
The short answer, and what it means for you
Nestoria has had a public API for most of its life. Developers could call a search_listings method to get properties for sale or rent by place name, in JSON or XML, and many tutorials and client libraries were built on it. Nestoria launched in the UK in 2006 and later added country sites such as Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Australia, Brazil and India.
In September 2026 the API documentation is no longer easy to find and we couldn’t confirm the API still answers requests, so contact Nestoria before relying on it. Nestoria is also an aggregator: it indexes listings from other property sites, so the original portal and official price data are often the better source. In England and Wales, HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data for residential sales as open data.

How to collect public Nestoria data with proxies
Three steps, then four habits
- Open the dashboardStart the $1.97 trial, then choose rotating residential or mobile, or create an API token.
- Target the right marketSet the country of the Nestoria site you collect, such as the UK or Spain, down to the city if you need it.
- Plug the proxies into your scraperAdd them to your scraper, headless browser or data pipeline over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5, with a new IP per request.
Check the API first. If Nestoria confirms the API works for your use, it is simpler and lighter than collecting pages.
Go to the source. Nestoria links to the original listings. For deeper data, collect from the source portal under its terms.
Use local IPs. Match the proxy country to the Nestoria site you collect, such as UK IPs for the UK site.
Pace your requests. Spread collection over time, cache pages you already have and back off on errors.
Follow Nestoria’s terms and the laws that apply to you, including copyright and privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA. ProxyEmpire doesn’t support scraping private data, spam or any illegal activity.
