## 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.md):

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

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

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

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## RealtorPulse — Fresh Listing Lead Scraper

**The only Realtor.com scraper that filters by listing age, not just location.**

RealtorPulse scrapes Realtor.com for properties listed within a configurable time window (default: last 24 hours), then auto-enriches each lead with full property details — agent contacts, mortgage estimates, tax history, price history, open houses, photos, and 50+ fields — in a single run.

Built for real estate investors, wholesalers, agents, and lead generation teams who need **first-mover access** to fresh inventory.

---

### What makes this different

Every other Realtor.com scraper returns listings sorted by default relevance — you get stale inventory mixed with fresh. RealtorPulse applies a `list_date` filter directly in the GraphQL query before any results are returned, so every lead in your dataset was listed within your specified window.

|---|---|---|
| Filter by listing age | ❌ | ✅ |
| Full detail enrichment | Partial | ✅ 50+ fields |
| Agent name + phone + email | Sometimes | ✅ Always |
| Mortgage estimate | ❌ | ✅ |
| Tax history | ❌ | ✅ |

| Days on MLS | ❌ | ✅ |
| Ranked tags (luxury, cul-de-sac, open plan…) | ❌ | ✅ |

### Use cases

**Wholesalers** — Monitor target ZIP codes hourly. Call sellers before competing investors see the listing.

**Fix & flip investors** — Filter `is_price_reduced + is_foreclosure` to surface distressed inventory the moment it lists.

**Real estate agents** — Identify new listings in your farm area within hours. Beat buyer's agents to the call.

**Lead generation agencies** — Build seller lead pipelines by ZIP code. Export agent contacts for outreach campaigns.

**PropTech / CRM enrichment** — Pipe fresh listings directly into your CRM via Apify API. Full agent contact info included on every record.

**Market research** — Track inventory velocity, price trends, and days-on-market by ZIP code over time.

***

### Scheduling

For continuous lead monitoring, use Apify's built-in scheduler:

- **Hourly** — Aggressive monitoring. Best for hot markets and wholesalers.
- **Every 6 hours** — Balanced. Catches same-day listings without excessive runs.
- **Daily** — Standard market research workflow.

Set `max_hours_old` to match your schedule interval (e.g. `6` for 6-hour runs) to avoid duplicates.

***

### Proxy

Realtor.com requires residential proxies. This actor uses Apify's `RESIDENTIAL` proxy group automatically. Datacenter IPs are blocked at the CDN level and will return 403s.

***

### Legal notice

This actor extracts publicly visible listing data from Realtor.com. Agent contact information (name, phone, email) is professional contact data intentionally published for business purposes. Users are responsible for compliance with Realtor.com's Terms of Service and applicable laws. Do not use this data to power a competing listing service or for bulk unsolicited contact campaigns.
