## 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

## Subito.it Marketplace Scraper — Listings Dataset Export

Extract unique, normalized listings from **Subito.it** across 17 marketplace categories. The Actor is designed for lightweight bulk collection: it paginates listings, removes duplicate listing IDs, and exports clean records ready for CSV/JSON analysis.

### Main features

- Export up to thousands of unique listings per run.
- Search across Italy or restrict results by city and province.
- Choose among 17 supported categories.
- Remove duplicate listings automatically while continuing pagination until the requested number of unique records is reached, when available.
- Export the real Subito section for each result through the `subcategory` field, derived from the listing URL without additional requests.
- Return direct listing links and up to five image URLs per record.

### Performance

A test run exported **5,000 unique listings** in approximately **2 minutes and 46 seconds** using Apify residential proxy infrastructure. Runtime can vary according to proxy latency, selected filters, target category and anti-bot responses from the source website.

For large exports, the Actor default timeout is set to 900 seconds.

### Output dataset

Each dataset item may include these normalized fields:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `source` | Data source, always `subito.it` |
| `listing_id` | Unique listing identifier used for deduplication |
| `category` | Category selected in the Actor input |
| `subcategory` | Real Subito section extracted from the canonical listing URL, such as `telefonia`, `informatica`, `audio-video` or `videogiochi` |
| `title` | Listing title |
| `description` | Listing description, limited to 600 characters |
| `price` | Advertised price in EUR, including source-provided placeholder prices such as `0` or `1` |
| `condition` | Item condition, when exposed by Subito |
| `brand` | Brand, when available |
| `model` | Model, when available |
| `storage` | Memory or storage specification, when available |
| `size` | Size, when available for the category |
| `color` | Color, when available |
| `shipping_available` | Shipping availability, when exposed |
| `accepts_offers` | Whether offers are accepted, when exposed |
| `city` | Listing city |
| `zone` | Listing region/zone |
| `is_sponsored` | Whether visibility/promoted metadata is exposed for the listing |
| `publication_date` | Publication timestamp exposed by Subito |
| `images` | Up to five listing image URLs |
| `url` | Direct URL to the listing |
| `scraped_at` | UTC timestamp at extraction time |

The Actor intentionally does not infer seller identity, GPS coordinates or investment/deal rankings when those values are not reliably available in listing-search data.

### Input example

```json
{
  "category": "elettronica",
  "searchQuery": "iPhone 14",
  "city": "Milano",
  "province": "MI",
  "maxItems": 500,
  "proxyConfig": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "countryCode": "IT",
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}
````

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `category` | string | `elettronica` | Marketplace category to scrape |
| `searchQuery` | string | empty | Optional text query, for example `iPhone 14` or `PlayStation 5` |
| `city` | string | empty | Optional city; leave empty for all Italy |
| `province` | string | empty | Optional two-letter province code when a city is used, for example `MI` |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Maximum number of unique listing records to export |
| `proxyConfig` | object | Residential IT preset | Apify Proxy configuration |

### Supported categories

| Category | Input value |
|---|---|

| Informatica | `informatica` |
| Telefonia | `telefonia` |
| Console e Videogiochi | `console` |
| Audio/Video | `audio_video` |

### Common use cases

- Marketplace listing datasets for data analysis.
- Price and inventory monitoring performed downstream on exported raw records.
- Research on category distribution, geographic supply and listing freshness.
- Collecting listing URLs and images for manual review or external pipelines.

### Notes

- The Actor exports listings visible through the selected Subito search pages. Availability and accessible page depth depend on the source website at run time.
- Records are deduplicated by listing ID during collection.
- Prices are exported as displayed by the source; placeholder or negotiable-price listings are not silently removed.
