from $0.70 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Property24 Scraper — South Africa Homes & Rentals

Clicking through Property24 is a massive time-sink. Paste a search URL and get the homes **in seconds**.

### Engineering Excellence & Reliability 🚀

- **Zero-Friction Resolution**: Drop in a Property24 search URL. Each row is the listing as the site publishes it: price, beds, address, photos, and the listing link.
- **High-Velocity Automation**: Pagination is handled for you. Large searches keep going up to your **maxItems**.
- **Beyond the website limit**: We bypass the website limitation and go beyond it. Duplicates are skipped.
- **Granular Property Intelligence**: Turn on `fetchFullDetails` and each row is the listing page's JSON-LD instead of the search card.
- **enterprise-Grade Resilience**: Clean JSON, CSV, Excel, or API.
- **Lightweight Pay-Per-Event**: You pay for the listings you actually receive.

### 🛠️ How to Play

#### Input Parameters

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `startUrl` | String | **(Required)** A Property24 search URL. Open the search in your browser and copy the address bar. |
| `maxItems` | Number | How many homes do you actually need? (Default: 100) |
| `fetchFullDetails` | Boolean | `true` = the listing JSON-LD. `false` = the search card. |

#### Example: Cape Town homes for sale

```json
{
    "startUrl": "https://www.property24.com/for-sale/cape-town/western-cape/432",
    "maxItems": 100,
    "fetchFullDetails": false
}
```

### 🆓 Free tier limitations

We want you to see how this actor works before you commit. To keep things fair for everyone, the **free tier** usually includes these trial limits:

- **Sample data:** up to **5 listings** per run—enough to check data quality.
- **Daily cap:** **5 runs** per calendar day (UTC).
- **Between runs:** at least **60 seconds** before you can start another run.

> Limits can change with platform load depending on system load and your intended scraping to prevent what we might interpret as free users abuse.

#### Upgrade when you're ready!

Use the free tier to decide if this actor fits your project. Paid Apify plans remove these wait times and caps so you can run at full volume—[**upgrade to a paid plan**](https://apify.com/pricing?fpr=cbgdsf).

### 📦 What’s in the Box?

One row is the Property24 search card. With fetchFullDetails, the row is the listing page JSON-LD instead.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrl": "https://www.property24.com/for-sale/cape-town/western-cape/432",
  "maxItems": 100,

apify call azzouzana/property24-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,azzouzana/property24-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).
