## 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).

# README

## willhaben Scraper — Austrian Marketplace Listings

**Extract classified listings from [willhaben.at](https://www.willhaben.at) — Austria's largest online marketplace.**

Built for **price research, market analysis, reselling, and lead generation** in Austria.

### What you get

For every listing in the search results:

- **title** — listing headline
- **price** + **price_display**
- **description** — listing body text
- **location**, **postcode**, **district**, **state**, **country**
- **latitude**, **longitude**
- **is_private** — private seller vs commercial dealer
- **published** — publish date
- **image** + **images** (all photos)
- **id**, **url**
- **search_query**, **scraped_at**

Data is read from willhaben's embedded structured JSON, so output is clean and reliable — not fragile HTML scraping.
