It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Savills Scraper — Scrape Worldwide Savills Property Listings Data Scrape residential, luxury, new-build, farm and commercial listings from Savills' global search site into JSON — ~90 mapped fields per listing: price in local currency, tenure, EPC rating, status tags, coordinates, photos and agent contacts. Built for luxury-market analysts, cross-border investors, proptech dashboards and relocation / buyer agencies who need structured Savills listings data on a schedule. *** ### What You Can Build With Savills Property Data - **A UK property listings database** with EPC rating data, tenure, council tax band, service charge and ground rent on every row. - **Property price monitoring UK workflows** — `status`, `originalPrice`, `priceQualifier`, `lastUpdated`, `_scrapedAt` are your diff inputs between runs. - **International coverage** — verified Savills pages carry Europe 13,173 listings, France 1,047, Italy 317 and a Spain desk: cross-border property investment data. - **New homes listings data** from `/list/new-homes-for-sale/` and `/list/new-homes-to-rent/`, flagged `isNewDevelopment`, `isHelpToBuy`, `isSharedOwnership`. - **Commercial property listings API-style feeds** — office, retail, industrial, leisure, investment and hotel paths with `isCommercial`, `isFarm`, `clearHeight`. - **Real estate market intelligence pipelines** — lat/lng, size in sqm/sqft/acres/hectares, images, floor plans, brochures, agent phone numbers. *** ### How The Savills Scraper Works Savills' search application (`search.savills.com`) server-renders every listing into a Next.js `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON blob. This Actor fetches those pages with plain HTTP through a CheerioCrawler — no browser, no headless Chrome — parses the blob, and maps it to one dataset item per listing. Detail pages are small JSON requests too, so runs stay fast and need no paid anti-bot service. *** ### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---|---| | `searchUrls` | array | No (prefilled) | England sale | Full or partial URLs (`https://search.savills.com/list/property-for-sale/england`) or bare paths like `/list/property-for-sale/italy`, expanded against `search.savills.com`; a `/page/N` suffix is stripped so crawls restart at page 1. | | `maxListings` | integer | No | `100` | Stop condition: the run ends once this many listings are collected (min 1, max 5000). Free plans cap at 10. | | `scrapeDetailPages` | boolean | No | `false` | Also open each `/property-detail/` page and merge it — adds the detail-only fields listed under Output Fields plus a complete size block. One extra request per listing, billed as one `property-detail-page` event. | | `proxy` | object | No | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Standard Apify proxy picker; select group/country in the UI — the only likely extra cost. | **How a run stops** — no page cap; `maxListings` drives everything: 1. a listing slot is reserved when a search card is seen, so the cap is exact; 2. pagination stops at the cap, at a page with no new listings, or when the page budget `ceil(maxListings / 16) + 3` per search URL is spent — whichever comes first; 3. `maxRequestsPerCrawl` bounds the run: `search URLs × page budget + maxListings detail requests + 40`. **Supported search URL shapes:** ``` /list/property-for-sale/ e.g. england, scotland, wales, italy, france, spain, australia /list/property-to-rent/ /list/new-homes-for-sale/ /list/new-homes-to-rent/ /list/farms// /list/commercial/property-for-sale// office, retail, industrial, leisure, investment, hotel /list/commercial/property-to-let// /list///... deeper paths such as england/london/london/ec3n ``` *** ### Output Fields One dataset item per listing (~90 mapped fields); two table views ship with it: **Listing overview** and **Listing table**. - **Identity** — `listingId`, `internalId`, `externalIdFormatted`, `url`, `seoTitle`, `description`, `longDescription`, `locationNotes`, `features` - **Price** — `price`, `displayPrice`, `originalPrice`, `priceQualifier`, `currency`, `otherFees`, `priceDisclaimer`, `yield` - **Location** — `countryCode`, `regionOrTown`, `addressLine1`, `addressLine2`, `fullAddress`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `openHouse` - **Type** — `propertyTypes`, `propertyTypeTag`, `propertyTypeSlug`, `marketTypes`, `isCommercial`, `isFarm`, `isNewDevelopment`, `newDevelopmentType`, `isHelpToBuy`, `isSharedOwnership`, `furnished`, `sizeDescription` - **Status tags** — `status`, `statusCode`, `statusTag`, `isSold`, `isLet`, `isConfidential`, `isFeatured`, `launchingDate` - **Rooms & size** — `bedrooms`/`bedroomsText`, `bathrooms`/`bathroomsText`, `receptions`/`receptionsText`, `carSpaces`/`carSpacesText`, `sizeFormatted`, `size` (`sqm`, `sqft`, `sqYd`, `acres`, `hectares`), `clearHeight` - **Tenure / compliance** — `tenure`, `tenureTypeCode`, `leaseType`, `leaseExpiry`, `leaseRemaining`, `serviceCharge`, `groundRent`, `councilTaxBand`, `epcRating`, `energyText` - **Agents** — `primaryAgent`, `secondaryAgent` (`name`, `phone`, `office`, `photo`, `licenceNumber`, `whatsapp`) - **Media** — `images`, `imageCount`, `imageCaptions`, `floorPlans`, `brochureUrls`, `epcGraphUrls`, `floorPlanPdfUrl`, `videoUrl`, `video360Url`, `externalWebsiteUrl`, `agentQuote` - **Detail-page extras** — `lastUpdated`, `fullPriceText`, `shortDisplayPrice`, `hasFloorplan`, `fluxProBrochureUrl`, `additionalAgents`, `areaGuide`, `sizeMaximum`, `saleableArea` - **Meta** — `_source` (`search-list`, `search-list+property-detail`, `property-detail`), `_scrapedAt` EPC rating, tenure, service charge, ground rent and council tax band are parsed from Savills' free-text `AdditionalInformation` array; status tags plus `originalPrice` and `priceQualifier` drive change detection. *** ### Example Input And Output ```json { "searchUrls": [ { "url": "https://search.savills.com/list/property-for-sale/england" }, { "url": "/list/property-to-rent/italy" } ], "maxListings": 100, "scrapeDetailPages": false, "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` ```json { "listingId": "GBCSRSCIS260102", "url": "https://search.savills.com/property-detail/GBCSRSCIS260102", "price": 850000, "displayPrice": "£850,000", "priceQualifier": "Guide price", "currency": "GBP", "fullAddress": "City of London, London EC3N", "latitude": 51.512, "longitude": -0.083, "status": "Under offer", "bedrooms": 2, "sizeFormatted": "1,179 sq ft", "tenure": "Share of freehold", "councilTaxBand": "D", "epcRating": "C", "primaryAgent": { "name": "Jane Smith", "phone": "+44 20 7000 0000", "office": "Savills City" }, "_source": "search-list", "_scrapedAt": "2026-10-07T09:15:00.000Z" } ``` *** ### Build Savills Listings Data Without An Official API There is no public Savills API — `api.savills.com` 404s every probed route, no developer portal. This Actor reads the surface Savills' own frontend consumes. | What | Value | |---|---| | Host | `https://search.savills.com` | | Search / list URL | `https://search.savills.com/list/` | | Pagination | `https://search.savills.com/list//page/` | | Property detail URL | `https://search.savills.com/property-detail/` | | Data blob | `` inside a string (descriptions embed HTML), so naive `indexOf('')` truncates the JSON mid-string — the Actor slices generously and lets `JSON.parse` find the real end. `curl` also needs `--compressed`, or Savills' gzip stream arrives truncated. *** ### Complete Property Detail Pages With scrapeDetailPages Measured against `search.savills.com` (residential, England): - card and detail page share **86 identical fields** — price, description, agents, galleries, coordinates and `AdditionalInformation` match byte for byte, so detail never *corrects* a card value; - detail carries **47 extra fields**, the useful ones mapped into the output (listed under Output Fields); - `size` is completed there: the card leaves `AvailableSize` all-zero and renders only `"1,179 sq ft"`, while detail carries the numeric `Size` block with **acres, hectares, square yards and ping** — unrecoverable from card text; - detail responses cost **60–240 ms** vs **300–900 ms** for a list page. At `maxConcurrency: 5`: 40 listings without detail pages = 3 requests in 2.7 s; the same 40 with detail pages = 43 requests in 9 s. Because the dataset is append-only, `scrapeDetailPages: true` **defers** each row until its detail page lands, then writes it once with both sources merged; a failed detail page always falls back to search-card data. *** ### Scrape Savills At Scale: AWS WAF Limits, Rate Control And Running Cost Savills serves `search.savills.com` behind **AWS WAF** — the `awsWafCookieDomainList` challenge returned as **HTTP 202** with a JS body instead of the page. The Actor: - retries a 202 up to 3 times with escalating backoff **8s / 16s / 24s**; - crawls at `maxConcurrency: 5` with `useSessionPool` and no keep-alive — 12 parallel detail requests passed untouched, but sustained single-IP volume eventually triggers the challenge; - **stops globally the moment `maxListings` is reserved**. Residential pages work from ordinary IPs. The WAF is **rate-based, not path-based**: a burst from one IP challenges every path, including ones that worked seconds earlier. Commercial and farm paths challenge sooner. **Running cost:** no paid anti-bot API (Scrapfly/Zyte) is required; sustained volume may need the **Apify proxy** input with a residential group — the only likely extra cost. Code limits: `maxRequestsPerCrawl`, `maxConcurrency: 5`, `maxRequestRetries: 3`, 60s handler timeout, page budget, listing cap. *** ### Pricing, Free Tier And Pay-Per-Event Billing | Event | Price | |---|---| | `result` | $0.0009 (FREE), stepping down to $0.0008 | | `Details` | $0.0009 → $0.0008 | | `Actor Start` | $0.00005 per run | Free plans are capped at **10 listings** (`APIFY_USER_IS_PAYING` gate); paid plans run up to `maxListings`. Detail work is billed as `property-detail-page`, once per detail page fetched — **only with `scrapeDetailPages: true`**: - billed whether the page merges or falls back to search-card data; - nothing is billed with `scrapeDetailPages: false`, and on a non-pay-per-event Actor `Actor.charge()` is a documented no-op; - the charge lands the moment the page is fetched (never batched); at the spending limit the crawl stops via `crawler.autoscaledPool.abort()` and held rows flush as search-card rows; - on `aborting`, waiting rows are pushed inside the 30-second window. Define the event in Monetization (Console → Actor → Monetization → pricing) with a price and discount tiers — undefined events are free. Test locally with `ACTOR_TEST_PAY_PER_EVENT=true ACTOR_USE_CHARGING_LOG_DATASET=true apify run` (charges log to `storage/datasets/charging_log`). *** ### Savills vs Rightmove vs Zoopla: Which Source For UK Property Listings Savills is an **agency** site — its own instructions with agency-level depth (EPC, tenure, service charge, agent, brochures) but only Savills stock. Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket are **portals** with far broader UK volume and normalised records.

No. `api.savills.com` 404s every probed route and there is no developer portal; this Actor reads the public server-rendered `__NEXT_DATA__` payload from `search.savills.com` instead. #### What's the best way to scrape Savills listings programmatically? Fetch `/list/` over plain HTTP, extract the `
