Beike (Ke.com) Data Parser & API

Beike / Ke.com is KE Holdings’ flagship property platform — ~42M mobile users (company filings) and by far the richest sold-price and transaction data in East Asia — and PropAPIS targets its resale, rental and new-build listings through a single REST API. Beike and its brokerage arm Lianjia run on the same KE Holdings stack, so one integration spans both brands.

China access is high-difficulty. Beike employs GeeTest slider CAPTCHAs, 50+ browser-fingerprint signals and behavioral tracking, and Great-Firewall latency affects access from outside China. We do not imply guaranteed coverage — Beike is among the hardest parse targets globally.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• Flagship aggregator of KE Holdings (NYSE/HKEX: BEKE) — ~42M mobile users per company filings
• Owns Lianjia (链家), China’s largest brokerage network, as its on-the-ground arm
• Zuo family trust + management hold >70% voting power; Tencent holds ~8%
• The most complete sold / transaction dataset in the region (per the East & Southeast Asia research report)

Market Coverage

Geographic Coverage:

• Tier-1 cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen
• Major tier-2 and tier-3 metros across mainland China
• Coverage mirrors Lianjia’s brokerage footprint

Property Types:

• Apartments and residential units
• Resale (second-hand) housing — the deepest segment
• New-build / developer inventory
• Long-term rentals

Data Availability

Beike’s standout asset is transaction depth: sold prices, price history and community-level comparables — the richest such dataset in Asia. FLAG: China is mobile-app-first, so web-visit estimates understate real usage; figures here are from company filings rather than web analytics.
