## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

# README

## HouseSigma Agents Scraper

Extract public HouseSigma realtor profiles for Canadian real estate lead generation, brokerage research, and proptech enrichment.

### What does HouseSigma Agents Scraper do?

HouseSigma Agents Scraper collects public realtor profile records from HouseSigma.

It can scan province agent directories.

It can enrich direct profile URLs.

It saves clean structured records to an Apify dataset.

Each record contains the agent name, designation, province, profile URL, avatar URL, languages, biography, transaction counts, top cities, property-type distribution, and scrape timestamp.

### Who is it for?

#### Real estate brokerages

Use it to map HouseSigma-visible agents in Canadian markets.

#### Mortgage teams

Use it to build referral and partnership lead lists.

#### Proptech companies

Use it to enrich realtor databases with public profile signals.

#### Recruiting teams

Use it to find active agents by province and service area.

#### Market analysts

Use it to compare agent coverage across cities and property types.

### Why use this actor?

It is source specific.

It uses HouseSigma profile URLs and directory filters.

It returns one row per agent.

It includes profile enrichment when available.

It avoids browser overhead by using public web-app API responses.

It supports small lead-list runs and larger directory scans.

### What data can it extract?

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `agentId` | HouseSigma public agent ID |
| `name` | Agent name |
| `designation` | Broker or sales representative designation |
| `province` | Province code such as ON, BC, AB |
| `slug` | HouseSigma profile slug |
| `profileUrl` | Public HouseSigma profile URL |
| `avatarUrl` | Agent headshot URL when available |
| `languages` | Languages listed on the profile |
| `about` | Public biography/about text |
| `homesSold` | Homes sold summary count |
| `activeListings` | Active listings summary count |
| `homesToured` | Homes toured summary count |
| `topCities` | Top cities by transaction distribution |
| `propertyTypes` | Property-type distribution |
| `contactMessage` | Public profile contact message template |
| `metaTitle` | HouseSigma profile meta title |
| `metaDescription` | HouseSigma profile meta description |
| `source` | Source URL used for the record |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp |

### How much does it cost to scrape HouseSigma agents?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

There is a small start charge per run.

There is a per-agent charge for each saved profile record.

Use `maxItems` to control cost.

Start with a small run such as 25 agents.

Scale up after checking the output.

### How to scrape HouseSigma agent profiles

1. Open the actor on Apify.

2. Choose one or more provinces.

3. Keep `areas` as `all` for a broad province directory scan.

4. Add direct `startUrls` if you need specific profiles.

5. Set `maxItems` to your desired limit.

6. Leave `enrichProfiles` enabled for biographies and counts.

7. Run the actor.

8. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or API.

### Input options

#### `startUrls`

Direct HouseSigma agent profile URLs.

Example: `https://housesigma.com/on/agents/ben-ghasemian/`.

#### `provinces`

Province codes to scan.

Examples: `ON`, `BC`, `AB`.

#### `areas`

HouseSigma area filter slugs.

Use `all` for the default directory view.

Use `*` to try all known area filters.

#### `languages`

HouseSigma language filter values.

Use `all` for any language.

Use `*` to try all known language filters.

#### `maxItems`

Maximum unique agent records to save.

#### `enrichProfiles`

Fetch public profile details for each directory result.

Disable it for faster directory-only scans.

### Output example

```json
{
  "agentId": 81,
  "name": "Ben Ghasemian",
  "designation": "Broker",
  "province": "ON",
  "profileUrl": "https://housesigma.com/on/agents/ben-ghasemian/",
  "languages": ["English", "Farsi"],
  "homesSold": 59,
  "activeListings": 2,
  "homesToured": 159
}
````

### Tips for best results

Use province scans for discovery.

Use direct URLs for known agents.

Use a low `maxItems` for your first test.

Use enriched profiles for lead scoring.

Use directory-only mode when you only need names and profile URLs.

### Integrations

Send results to Google Sheets with Apify integrations.

Export CSV files for CRM upload.

Connect dataset webhooks to enrichment pipelines.

Use the Apify API to schedule recurring market scans.

Combine the output with email verification or CRM deduplication tools.

### API usage with Node.js

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/housesigma-agents-scraper').call({
  provinces: ['ON'],
  areas: ['all'],
  maxItems: 100,
  enrichProfiles: true,
});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);
```

### API usage with Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN')
run = client.actor('automation-lab/housesigma-agents-scraper').call(run_input={
    'provinces': ['ON'],
    'areas': ['all'],
    'maxItems': 100,
    'enrichProfiles': True,
})
print(run['defaultDatasetId'])
```

### API usage with cURL

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~housesigma-agents-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"provinces":["ON"],"areas":["all"],"maxItems":100,"enrichProfiles":true}'
```

### MCP usage

Use this actor from Claude Desktop or Claude Code through the Apify MCP server.

MCP URL:

`https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/housesigma-agents-scraper`

Claude Code setup command:

```bash
claude mcp add apify-housesigma-agents https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/housesigma-agents-scraper
```

Claude Desktop JSON config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-housesigma-agents": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/housesigma-agents-scraper"
    }
  }
}
```

Example prompt:

"Scrape 100 HouseSigma agents in Ontario and summarize the top cities represented."

Another prompt:

"Extract this HouseSigma agent profile URL and prepare a CRM-ready JSON record."

### Scheduling

You can schedule the actor daily, weekly, or monthly.

Use scheduled runs for market monitoring.

Use a stable `maxItems` value to keep costs predictable.

### Data quality notes

The actor only returns data available in HouseSigma public responses.

Some agents may not show biographies.

Some agents may not show active listings.

Directory ordering can change.

The actor deduplicates by province and slug during a run.

### Legality

This actor extracts publicly available profile information.

You are responsible for using the data lawfully.

Respect privacy, anti-spam rules, and HouseSigma terms.

Do not use the output for unlawful unsolicited contact.

### FAQ

#### Is this a HouseSigma property listings scraper?

No. This actor focuses on public HouseSigma agent and realtor profile records.

#### Does it require a HouseSigma login?

No. It uses public web-app responses available without a user account.

#### Can it find phone numbers and emails?

It returns public biography and profile metadata. Direct phone/email fields are only returned when HouseSigma exposes them in public profile text or responses.

### Troubleshooting

#### Why did I get fewer agents than `maxItems`?

The selected province, area, or language filter may have fewer public directory results.

Try `areas: ["all"]` or add more provinces.

#### Why are some fields empty?

HouseSigma does not display every field for every agent.

Disable enrichment only if you do not need profile detail fields.

#### Can I scrape only one agent?

Yes.

Add the profile URL to `startUrls` and set `maxItems` to `1`.
