Makaan Data Parser & API

Makaan is an India property portal covering resale, rental and new-build residential listings — a legacy REA-stack site now aligned with Aurum PropTech alongside PropTiger — and PropAPIS extracts its listing and locality data through a single REST API. Cover Makaan’s inventory without building or maintaining a scraper.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• Smaller India portal with low traffic relative to the big three (99acres, Housing.com, Magicbricks)
• Shares legacy REA-stack lineage with PropTiger; both are now Aurum PropTech-aligned after REA’s 2025 PropTiger divestiture (per the South Asia research report)
• Covers resale and rental residential plus new-build project pages
• One parser pattern can address the PropTiger + Makaan cluster

Note: REA Group divested PropTiger to Aurum PropTech in 2025 and refocused on Housing.com; Makaan sits in the same legacy-stack cluster.

Data Availability

India’s listing mix is unusually new-launch / under-construction heavy — primary residential is the dominant monetized segment.
