## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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 Sold Prices Scraper

Scrapes sold property prices and full transaction history from Rightmove's `/house-prices/` pages (UK HM Land Registry and Registers of Scotland data) without any browser overhead.

### Features

- **No browser** – scrapes the server-rendered pages directly (fast and cheap).
- **Full transaction history** – every recorded sale for each property (price, deed date, % change, new build flag, tenure).
- **Rich property data** – address, postcode (outcode/incode), latitude/longitude, `encId`, `referenceId`, `uniqueAddressKey`, `deliveryPointId`, data source (`ROS`/`HMLR`).
- **Last-listed listing data** – `keyFeatures`, bedrooms/bathrooms, images, floorplans, nearest stations, listing dates and history are included when Rightmove has the previous marketing listing.
- **Deduplication** – properties are de-duplicated by their Rightmove ID across all inputs.
- **Dual extraction** – decodes the embedded page data model for the richest output, with a pure-HTML fallback parser if decoding ever fails.
- **Pagination** – walks all result pages automatically (up to Rightmove's ~40 page / ~1,000 result cap per area).
- **Proxy support** – works with Apify Proxy; residential proxies recommended for heavy use.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `listUrls` | array | Rightmove `/house-prices/` search URLs, e.g. `https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/ab10.html` or `https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/london.html` |
| `propertyUrls` | array | Optional direct links to sold property detail pages, e.g. `https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/1229be73-9bef-421f-a8de-78382d56f358` |
| `maxProperties` | integer | Maximum number of sold properties to collect (default 1000). |
| `proxy` | object | Apify Proxy configuration. Leave off (`useApifyProxy: false`) for fastest scraping; datacenter proxies make Rightmove respond much slower. |
| `delayBetweenRequestsMs` | integer | Delay between page requests (default 250 ms). |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | How many detail pages to fetch in parallel (default 10). Higher = faster but more likely to trigger blocking. |

### Input example

```json
{
  "listUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/ab10.html" },
    { "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/sw19.html" }
  ],
  "propertyUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/1229be73-9bef-421f-a8de-78382d56f358" }
  ],
  "maxProperties": 1000,
  "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true },
  "delayBetweenRequestsMs": 250,
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

To find area URLs, open `https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/` and search for a town, postcode, station or street.

To run locally with `apify run`, put your input JSON at `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` (or pass `--input-file input.json`).

### Output

One record per sold property, for example:

    "soldPropertyInfoReelItems": []
  },

}
```

The `listing` block is only populated when Rightmove holds the previous marketing listing for that property. If a detail page cannot be scraped, a reduced record built from the search results is returned instead.

### Limits & notes

- Rightmove caps a single `/house-prices/` area search at about 40 pages (~1,000 results). For larger areas, split into postcode-district URLs.
- Prices are from the Land Registry / Registers of Scotland records that Rightmove publishes and may lag the actual sale date.
- Sold prices data is provided "as-is" by Rightmove; verify critical figures before making decisions.
- Running without a proxy is fastest and is the default. Only enable Apify Proxy if Rightmove starts blocking the direct connection; note your plan has no residential proxy available, so the datacenter fallback will be noticeably slower.

# Actor input Schema

## `listUrls` (type: `array`):

Rightmove house-prices search URLs, e.g. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/ab10.html or https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/london.html

## `propertyUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional direct links to sold property detail pages, e.g. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/details/1229be73-9bef-421f-a8de-78382d56f358

## `maxProperties` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of sold properties to collect.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy. Only enable if Rightmove blocks the direct connection - proxies (especially datacenter) can be much slower.

## `delayBetweenRequestsMs` (type: `integer`):

Milliseconds to wait between page requests. Increase if Rightmove blocks fast scraping.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many detail pages to fetch in parallel. Higher values scrape faster but may trigger Rightmove blocking.

## Actor input object example

```json

  "listUrls": [

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "listUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/ab10.html"
        }
    ],
    "propertyUrls": [],
    "proxy": {
        "useApifyProxy": false
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ahmed_jasarevic/rightmove-sold-prices-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) => {

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "listUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/ab10.html"
    }
  ],
  "propertyUrls": [],
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}' |
apify call ahmed_jasarevic/rightmove-sold-prices-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ahmed_jasarevic/rightmove-sold-prices-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
