Real Estate requests are synchronous. Cost depends on the options selected for the request.
Rightmove only works with a premium proxy. ScrapingBot turns premiumProxy on automatically for every Rightmove request, so each request costs 10 credits on current plans. You don't need to set it yourself.

Questions about the Rightmove API
- Does the Rightmove scraper access private data?
- No. This guide covers public property listing pages and does not require signing in to a Rightmove account.
- Are all fields always available?
- No. Returned data depends on what the public Rightmove page exposes and what the extractor supports.
- Can I collect multiple pages at once?
- Each request takes one public URL. Submit one request per page you need to collect.
- When should I use a premium proxy?
- Use it only when a target requires it or when you need country targeting for a public page.
