## 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.

## Estately Property Search Scraper: Extract Real Estate Listings Instantly

***

### What Is Estately.com?

Estately.com is a comprehensive real estate platform featuring millions of property listings across the United States. It aggregates MLS data, rental properties, and sales information, making it a valuable resource for buyers, sellers, investors, and researchers. Collecting property data manually from multiple search results pages is tedious and error-prone — the **Estately Property Search Scraper** automates this process, delivering structured datasets of hundreds of listings per search.

***

### Overview

The **Estately Property Search Scraper** extracts property listings from Estately.com search results pages, transforming raw HTML into clean, actionable data. It is ideal for:

- **Real estate aggregators** building comprehensive property databases
- **Investment analysts** tracking market conditions by region
- **Market researchers** studying pricing trends and inventory
- **Developers** integrating Estately data into real estate platforms
- **Investors** monitoring properties in target neighborhoods

Key strengths include batch processing up to 200 items per URL, automatic handling of pagination, proxy support for reliability, and graceful failure handling via `ignore_url_failures`.

***

### Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object:

```json
{
    "urls": [
        "https://www.estately.com/TX/Houston?page=2"
    ],
    "max_items_per_url": 200,
    "ignore_url_failures": true
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `urls` | array | Direct links to Estately search results pages. Format: `https://www.estately.com/[STATE]/[CITY]?page=[N]`. One URL per entry. |
| `max_items_per_url` | integer | Maximum number of properties to scrape per URL (range: 1–200, default: 100). Higher values capture more listings but increase runtime. |
| `ignore_url_failures` | boolean | If `true`, scraper continues if some URLs fail. If `false`, the entire run stops on first failure. Recommended: `true` for bulk scrapes. |

**Example URL formats:**

- `https://www.estately.com/TX/Houston?page=1` (Listings in Houston, Texas)
- `https://www.estately.com/CA/Los-Angeles?page=1` (Los Angeles, California)
- `https://www.estately.com/NY/Manhattan?page=1` (Manhattan, New York)

> **Tip:** To scrape multiple pages, add each URL separately (e.g., page 1, page 2, page 3).

### How to Use

1. **Identify target searches** — Visit Estately.com, search for properties in your target location and price range, and copy the resulting URL (including page number).

2. **Prepare URLs** — Collect all desired URLs (e.g., multiple pages, different cities). Each URL should point to a search results page.

3. **Configure input** — Paste URLs into the `urls` array. Set `max_items_per_url` based on your needs (100–200 typical; lower for faster runs).

4. **Set failure handling** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` to skip broken URLs without stopping the run (recommended for bulk operations).

5. **Run the scraper** — Execute the actor and monitor progress in the run log.

6. **Export data** — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis in spreadsheets or databases.

**Best practices:**

- Start with `max_items_per_url: 100` to test; increase to 200 once validated.
- Use one URL per page to avoid duplicate listings across runs.
- For multi-city analysis, organize URLs by state/city for easier data management.
- Schedule recurring runs to track price changes and new listings over time.

***

### Use Cases & Business Value

- **Real estate portals:** Aggregate Estately listings with other MLS sources for comprehensive property databases.
- **Market analytics:** Track median prices, average days on market, and supply/demand by region.

- **Lead generation:** Build contact lists of agents handling properties in target neighborhoods.
- **Comparative market analysis:** Analyze sold properties and pricing trends for appraisal reports.

The Estately Property Search Scraper eliminates hours of copying data manually, providing clean, standardized records that feed directly into CRM systems, databases, and analytics tools.
