Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Rightmove Total Raw Scraper 🏠🚀 A high-performance, lightweight Apify Actor designed to extract every single data point from **Rightmove** (UK's #1 property portal) without the overhead of a headless browser. ### 🌟 Key Features - **No Browser Required:** Uses direct API interception. This means it is **100x faster** and consumes minimal RAM (runs perfectly on 256MB). - **Total Data Capture:** Saves the **entire RAW JSON** object for every property. You get everything: images, floorplans, agent contact details, full descriptions, and price history metadata. - **Map-Ready:** Extracts exact `latitude` and `longitude` coordinates for every listing—perfect for map-based SaaS applications. - **Smart Channeling:** Automatically detects whether a URL is for **Sales** (`BUY`) or **Rentals** (`RENT`). - **Residential Proxy Support:** Fully integrated with Apify Proxy to bypass rate limits effortlessly. --- ### 📥 Input Parameters | Field | Type | Description | Default | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **listUrls** | `array` | Rightmove Search URLs (e.g., from a search result page). | **Required** | | **maxProperties** | `integer` | Maximum number of properties to scrape. | `1000` | | **proxy** | `object` | Apify Proxy settings (Residential recommended). | `{ "useApifyProxy": true }` | #### Input Example ```json { "listUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=OUTCODE%5E1859" } ], "maxProperties": 500, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` *** ### 📤 Output Data Structure The Actor pushes the complete property object to the Apify Dataset. Key fields included in the raw data: - **Identity:** `id`, `propertyUrl`, `firstVisibleDate`. - **Pricing:** `price.amount`, `price.displayPrices`, `price.currencyCode`. - **Specs:** `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `displaySize` (sq ft), `propertySubType`. - **Location:** `location.latitude`, `location.longitude`, `displayAddress`. - **Media:** Full array of `images` (source URLs) and `floorplans`. - **Agency:** `customer.brandTradingName`, `customer.contactTelephone`, `customer.brandPlusLogoUrl`. - **Marketing:** `summary`, `keyFeatures` (array of bullet points). *** ### 💡 Pro Tips for Web Developers - **B2B Leads:** Use the `customer` object to build a database of estate agency branches and their contact numbers. - **Market Analysis:** The `listingUpdate` field tells you exactly when a property price was reduced—ideal for tracking market trends. - **3D/Furniture Apps:** Use the high-res `images` array to feed into visualizers or staging software. *** # Actor input Schema ## `listUrls` (type: `array`): Enter Rightmove search URLs (e.g., https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=OUTCODE%5E2445) ## `maxProperties` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of properties to collect ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy with Residential IPs is recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxProperties": 1000, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ahmed_jasarevic/rightmove-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
