## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

## Colombia Property Listings from Fincaraiz

### Quick Start

Find current apartment or house listings for sale or rent in Colombia.
Useful for market research, property discovery, and housing data pipelines.
Run with this minimal input:

```json
{"operation":"venta","propertyType":"apartamento","maxResults":50}
```

### Input

| Name | Type | Default | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `operation` | string | `venta` | Search for sale or rent (`arriendo`). |
| `propertyType` | string | `apartamento` | Search apartments or houses (`casa`). |
| `location` | string | empty | Optional city or city/department scope. |
| `maxPages` | integer | `1` | Maximum search pages, from 1 to 5. |
| `maxResults` | integer | `50` | Maximum listings, from 1 to 200. |
| `requestDelaySecs` | number | `1.0` | Delay between page requests, from 0.5 to 10 seconds. |
| `proxyUrl` | string | empty | Optional proxy URL. |
| `proxyUsername` | string | empty | Username for the optional proxy. |
| `proxyPassword` | string | empty | Password for the optional proxy. |

### Output

Each dataset item includes `id`, `listingKey`, `url`, `name`, `price`, `currency`, `priceUsd`, `propertyType`, `areaM2`, `rooms`, `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `parkings`, `address`, `location`, `city`, `region`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `operation`, `publisher`, `postedAt`, `images`, `imageUrl`, `source`, `country`, and `scrapedAt`.

Example record:

```json
{"listingKey":"fincaraiz.com.co:123456","name":"Apartamento en venta","price":350000000,"currency":"COP","propertyType":"Apartamento","areaM2":78,"bedrooms":3,"bathrooms":2,"city":"Bogota","url":"https://www.fincaraiz.com.co/..."}
```

### FAQ

**How fresh are the results?** Listings are collected when the Actor runs.

**What areas are supported?** Searches can cover Colombia or a city and department slug.

**How many listings can I collect?** Up to 5 pages and 200 listings per run.

**What happens if a page cannot be accessed?** The run reports an error instead of silently returning an incomplete result.

For help, contact Apify support and include the Actor run ID.

# Actor input Schema

## `operation` (type: `string`):

Listing operation to search: sale (venta) or rental (arriendo). The rent URL grammar is /arriendo/apartamentos — NOT /apartamentos-en-arriendo (the legacy form redirects).

## `propertyType` (type: `string`):

Property type to search: apartments (apartamentos) or houses (casas).

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional location scope as city or city/department slugs, e.g. "bogota", "bogota/bogota-dc", "medellin/antioquia", "cartagena/bolivar". Free text is slugified ("Bogotá" -> "bogota", "Cartagena de Indias / Bolívar" -> "cartagena-de-indias/bolivar"). Empty searches the whole country.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Search-result pages to fetch (21 postings per page).

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many listings.

## `requestDelaySecs` (type: `number`):

Minimum 0.5 seconds.

## `proxyUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional custom proxy URL (full URL with embedded credentials, or host:port with proxyUsername/proxyPassword). Leave empty to use the Actor's default connection.

## `proxyUsername` (type: `string`):

Username for proxyUrl when the URL does not embed credentials.

## `proxyPassword` (type: `string`):

Password for proxyUrl when the URL does not embed credentials.

# 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 = {
    "proxyPassword": ""
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("automatic/fincaraiz-co-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);

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "proxyPassword": "" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("automatic/fincaraiz-co-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "proxyPassword": ""
}' |
apify call automatic/fincaraiz-co-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,automatic/fincaraiz-co-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).
