Imot.bg Scraper for Bulgarian Real Estate Data

What You Get with the Imot.bg Scraper

We extract Imot.bg listings in full - one row per advert, with the Bulgarian label beside an English gloss:

• Identity - the 17-character advert id and its canonical URL. The first character is the rubric, the second the property type, so both read off the id.
• Room class - ednostaen, dvustaen, tristaen, chetiristaen, mnogostaen. This is a room count, not a bedroom count. Bulgarian practice counts habitable rooms and leaves out kitchen, bathroom and hallway, so a dvustaen is a living room plus one bedroom and a tristaen a living room plus two. The site publishes no bedroom field at all: room class and floor area are the whole layout signal, so the class has to be mapped rather than translated.
• Price - the asking figure in euro, the printed price per square metre and the VAT line. Rents are monthly, with their own euro per square metre rate. Adverts reading on request instead of a number are stored as an empty price, never as zero.
• Size and building - area in square metres, yard area for houses, floor and total floors, construction type (tuhla, panel, EPK, PK, gredored, prefabricated) and completion state: commissioned with a year or a decade band, or a planned year for buildings still going up.
• Services and features - TEC district heating as yes, no, local or being installed, gas as yes or no, then the tag list: lift, furnished, insulated facade, air conditioning, CCTV, access control, garage, parking, gated complex, needs renovation.
• Location and seller - oblast, city or village, kvartal and the street when one is given; the private or agency flag, and for agencies the trading name, office address, company EIK and VAT number and the year they joined.
• Timing and reach - published or corrected timestamp, view counter, photo URLs and the TOP flag marking paid placement.

Go Deeper with Imot.bg Data

Currency is the field to get right this year. Bulgaria adopted the euro on 1 January 2026 and the site has followed: every price is printed in euro, the filter offers euro or dollars, and the lev has gone from the pages entirely. Advert markup declares the currency as EUR. Imot.bg price data from before 2026 was quoted in lev at the rate fixed against the euro since 1999, and a series that mixes the two without a conversion column is wrong, so we keep amount, currency and period in separate columns.

The second thing is reach. A search returns at most 1,000 adverts - 25 pages of 40 - however many matches it reports, and the total it currently shows is capped rather than exact. Sofia holds far more. Coverage therefore comes from slicing: rubric, then city or province, then kvartal, then type, with price bands where a slice is still too large. The site's own URLs follow that ladder, and its sitemaps publish about 21,000 sale and 6,500 rental search paths.

Land has its own units: plots and farmland are measured in dekars, farmland carries a soil category from 1 to 10 and a land-use description, and many plot adverts lead with a price per square metre.

Two absences shape the dataset. Advert markup carries no map coordinates, so location is oblast, city, kvartal and sometimes a street. And there is no sold status: agencies must withdraw a property once it goes, so disappearance from the index is the signal - which is why every row keeps first-seen and last-seen dates.
