## 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

## Subito.it Scraper · No Login Needed

Scrape classified ads from [Subito.it](https://www.subito.it), one of Italy's largest classifieds sites, across any category or region, and get clean structured data: title, description, price, location and seller type.

### What you can do with it

- **Monitor a category or region**: new listings by category (cars, electronics, real estate, jobs, general items...) and Italian region.
- **Track prices**: published asking prices for a given search, by region.
- **Separate shops from private sellers**: every listing is flagged `isCompany`, with the shop name when it is a business.
- **Feed an alert or an aggregator**: run it daily with your usual category and region, dedupe by `id` to catch only the new listings.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Keywords | Search term, for example `bicicletta` or `iphone`. Empty browses a category. |
| Category | Category URL slug as used by Subito.it, for example `auto`, `moto-e-scooter` or `elettronica`. Defaults to `usato` (general second-hand items). |
| Region | Italian region URL slug, for example `lombardia` or `lazio`. Empty rotates across major regions. |
| Maximum number of listings | The run stops once this many listings are saved. |

### Output

One record per listing:

```json
{
  "id": "663588178",
  "url": "https://www.subito.it/hobby-collezionismo/halloween-magic-pen-legami-varese-663588178.htm",
  "category": "Collezionismo",
  "title": "Halloween Magic Pen Legami",
  "description": "…",
  "price": 60,
  "region": "Lombardia",
  "province": "Varese",
  "city": "Varese",
  "condition": "Nuovo - mai usato in confezione originale",
  "isCompany": false,
  "sellerName": null,
  "datePosted": "2026-10-07 08:53:32"
}
```

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

### Why this one

- **No login, no account.** Everything comes from Subito's own public category and region pages.
- **Any category, any region, one actor.** No need to run a separate tool per category.
- **Seller type always flagged.** `isCompany` and `sellerName` tell shops apart from private sellers on every record, not buried in the description.

### Good to know

- Subito's own pagination (`?o=`) is off-limits to robots; this actor instead rotates through one Italian region per step when none is requested, each its own first page of results.
- Results follow Subito's own search, so a broad category can include listings from several sub-categories.
- `price` is empty for listings where the seller did not set one (common for free or "contact for price" items).
- Private sellers are never named: `sellerName` is only filled for business accounts (`isCompany: true`), from the shop name Subito itself displays.
- A line that carries an e-mail address or a raw Italian phone number is dropped from the description: Subito already masks most phone numbers typed into a listing, this actor catches the rest.

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$3.00 per 1,000 ads**, plus $0.00005 per run start. For example, 100 ads cost about $0.30. You only pay for the ads you receive, and platform usage is included in that price.

### Run it from your code

JavaScript:

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

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/subito-classifieds-scraper').call({
  keywords: 'bicicletta',
  category: 'usato',
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
```

Python:

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("bibian/subito-classifieds-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": "bicicletta",
    "category": "usato",
    "maxItems": 50
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
```

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy for Subito.it?** No. The actor reads publicly visible pages only.

**How do I monitor a category or region?** Save a task with your keywords, category and region, then schedule it daily with Apify Schedules. Deduplicate on the `id` field and use `datePosted` to keep the new ads.

**Which formats can I export?** JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS, from the dataset page or through the API.

**Can I connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets?** Yes, through Apify integrations and webhooks.

**Is it legal to scrape?** The actor collects publicly visible classified ads and respects the robots.txt rules of the site. How you use the data is your responsibility: check the site's terms and the laws that apply to you, for example the GDPR.

**Something does not work?** Open an issue in the Issues tab. Every public actor is test-run daily and the broken ones are repaired.

**Did this save you time?** A short review on the Store page helps other people find the actor, and tells me what to improve next.

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).
