Squarefoot Data Parser & API

Squarefoot is a Hong Kong property portal covering resale, rental and new-build listings, and PropAPIS extracts its listing, estate and development data through a single REST API. It sits behind Centaline, Midland and 28Hse in HK reach, but anti-bot is low, making it a cost-effective complementary source for Hong Kong inventory.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• Hong Kong property portal covering resale, rental and new-build listings
• Smaller than Centaline, Midland and 28Hse; traffic is under-measured by Similarweb (~few K reported)
• English available — useful for cross-border and expat-facing coverage
• Low anti-bot relative to mainland China portals (per the research report)

Market Coverage

Geographic Coverage:

• Hong Kong Island
• Kowloon
• New Territories and outlying districts

Property Types:

• Apartments and residential estates
• Resale (second-hand) housing
• New-build / first-hand developments

Data Availability

Squarefoot organises listings by estate and development, with a focus on new-build / first-hand projects alongside the resale and rental market. Hong Kong’s lower anti-bot environment makes it a cost-effective complementary source to the larger broker-network portals (per the research report).
