## 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

## Subito Italy Classifieds Scraper

Collect listings from Subito.it, Italy’s classifieds marketplace: cars, motorcycles, homes, bicycles and everyday goods. Each row gives the asking price, location, condition, posting time and product facts, ready for price research, market monitoring and resale analysis.

### Use cases

- **Price research**: what does a bike, a car or an espresso machine actually cost in Italy? Search a keyword across the whole country or one region and compare asking prices and conditions.
- **Market monitoring**: re-run the same category on a schedule and watch new listings arrive, priced, dated and located, ready for an alert or a dashboard.
- **Home and car hunting**: pull `appartamenti` or `auto` listings for one region with rooms, floor, fuel, gearbox and mileage in `attributes`.
- **Resale shortlists**: filter by keyword and city, keep the newest first, and reach out while listings are fresh.

### Input

- `keyword`: optional search words, for example `iphone` or `macchina caffè`. Leave empty to browse the newest listings.
- `category`: the category as written in a Subito search link, for example `auto`, `appartamenti`, `biciclette` or `moto-e-scooter`. `usato` covers all categories.
- `region`: the region as written in a Subito search link, for example `lombardia`, `lazio` or `sicilia`. `italia` covers the whole country.
- `maxItems`: how many listings to collect (default 50).

```json
{"keyword":"bicicletta","category":"biciclette","region":"lombardia","maxItems":50}
```

Results are listings for sale, in the order Subito shows them.

### What it returns

Each row has `listingId`, `title`, `price`, `currency`, `category`, `condition`, `region`, `city`, `postedDate`, `sellerType`, `sellerName`, `sellerId`, `sellerPhone`, `imageCount`, `url`, `descriptionExcerpt` and `attributes`.

### Output example

```json
{"listingId":"666913536","title":"no ruote mtb olmo bignone reba rock shox","price":890,"currency":"EUR","category":"Biciclette","condition":"Buono - usato ma ben conservato","region":"Lombardia","city":"Sannazzaro de' Burgondi","postedDate":"2026-11-03T02:56:18+01:00","sellerType":"private","sellerName":null,"sellerId":"5725348","sellerPhone":null,"imageCount":6,"url":"https://www.subito.it/biciclette/no-ruote-mtb-olmo-bignone-reba-rock-shox-pavia-666913536.htm","descriptionExcerpt":null,"attributes":{"item_shippable":false,"item_condition":"Buono - usato ma ben conservato","bicycle_type":"MTB e Touring"}}
```

- `sellerType` is `company` or `private`. Company rows usually carry a `sellerName` (the shop name) and a `sellerId`; private rows show a `sellerId` when Subito publishes one, and a `sellerPhone` only when the listing displays it.
- `postedDate` is in Italian local time.
- `attributes` holds the product facts Subito shows for the category, such as fuel and gearbox for cars, rooms and floor for homes, or bicycle type. Values are numbers, true/false or short text.

### Empty values

A missing value is `null`. `condition` is often empty, mostly for cars and motorcycles, where Subito does not show it. `price` is empty when the seller gives none. Public titles and listing links are retained as supplied. `descriptionExcerpt` contains the description available on the search card; `attributes` includes model and brand when supplied.

### Limits

- Covers Subito.it in Italy only.
- One run returns up to about 3,000 listings, and fewer if it reaches its time limit first. For more, split the search by category or region.
- Search results only: descriptions are limited to the text available on search cards. `sellerName` is the seller's public shop or personal name, `sellerId` the seller's public identifier and `sellerPhone` the public phone number, each null when Subito shows none.

### Privacy

Public seller identity and contact fields available on search cards are retained. Public listing text, including any contacts the source includes in it, is retained with whitespace normalized.

### FAQ

**How do I find the right `category` or `region` slug?** Run your search once on subito.it, then copy the word from the address bar: `…/annunci-lombardia/vendita/biciclette/` means `region` `lombardia`, `category` `biciclette`. `usato` and `italia` cover everything.

**Why are some prices null?** A seller can post without a price. `currency` stays null with it; the title often names an offer instead ("regalo", "affare").

**Why is `condition` empty for cars and motorcycles?** Subito does not show a condition line for those categories. Check `attributes` instead: fuel, gearbox, mileage and registration year for cars; type and displacement for bikes.

**Why did I get fewer listings than `maxItems`?** One run reads up to 100 result pages, about 3,000 listings, and stops earlier at its time limit or when the search runs out. Narrow or split the search by region or category for more coverage.

**Can I get full descriptions?** Search results carry the text Subito shows on each card. The listing page is not fetched separately, so `descriptionExcerpt` holds the card's excerpt.

**Can I run it daily?** Yes. Schedule the run, read the dataset through the Apify API and export it as JSON, CSV or Excel. Results come newest-first, so each run starts with the freshest listings.

### Pricing

**$0.001 per delivered listing** plus a **$0.005 start event per run**; the Pricing tab has the current rates. A start event is charged per GB of memory with a one-GB minimum, so the default 512 MB run is one start.

What a run costs: the default input (the newest listings across Italy, up to 50) returns up to 50 rows, about **$0.055** in total — $0.05 in listing charges plus the $0.005 start. A 300-listing monitoring run costs about **$0.305**.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call automatic/subito-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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