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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 99acres Properties Search Scraper Extract property listings from 99acres.com search result pages. Supports residential apartments, plots, villas, and commercial properties across all Indian cities. ### Features - **Search results extraction** — scrape all properties from any 99acres search URL (up to 500 items) - **Automatic pagination** — continues to next pages until `maxItems` is reached - **Deep scraping mode** — opens each property's detail page in parallel tabs for richer data (full description, amenities, RERA number, contact, images) - **Anti-bot bypass** — uses residential proxy + realistic browser fingerprinting ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchUrls` | string[] | required | One or more 99acres search URLs | | `maxItems` | integer | 20 | Maximum properties to scrape (1–500) | | `enableDeepScraping` | boolean | false | Open each detail page for description, RERA, amenities | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | RESIDENTIAL | Apify proxy settings | #### Example Input ```json { "searchUrls": ["https://www.99acres.com/search/property/buy/chennai-west?city=36&res_com=R"], "maxItems": 20, "enableDeepScraping": false } ```` ### Output Fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `propertyId` | 99acres ID (e.g. `r437330`, `S88393530`) | | `propertyType` | Property type (Apartment, Land, Villa, etc.) | | `propertyUrl` | Direct URL to the listing | | `propertyDetails.name` | Project / property name | | `propertyDetails.description` | Description text | | `propertyDetails.bedrooms` | Number of BHK | | `propertyDetails.bathrooms` | Number of bathrooms | | `price.displayPrice` | Formatted price (e.g. `₹1.55 - 1.57 Cr`) | | `price.min` / `price.max` | Price in INR (numeric) | | `area.min` / `area.max` | Area in sq ft | | `location.address` | Locality name | | `dates.posted` | When the listing was posted | | `verification.isReraRegistered` | RERA mentioned in card | | `verification.reraNumber` | Actual RERA ID (deep scraping) | | `contact.name` | Agent/builder name (deep scraping) | | `amenities` | Amenity list (deep scraping) | | `images` | Property photo URLs (deep scraping) | ### Supported URL Patterns - `search/property/buy/CITY` — Buy listings - `search/property/rent/CITY` — Rental listings - Any 99acres filtered search URL ### Notes - Phone numbers require clicking "View Number" — not extractable from search cards - Images on search results use CSS backgrounds — use deep scraping for actual photos - Residential proxy strongly recommended to avoid bot detection - Speed: ~15–20 properties/min (deep scraping: ~4–5/min) # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Add one or more 99acres search URLs to scrape property information. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of properties to scrape. ## `enableDeepScraping` (type: `boolean`): Enable deep scraping to open each property's detail page and extract full description, amenities, RERA number, builder contact, and posted date. Increases run time but provides richer data. ## `headless` (type: `boolean`): Run browser in headless mode (no visible UI). Set to false for debugging. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optionally, use Apify Proxy or custom HTTP proxy to avoid IP address-based blocking. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.99acres.com/" ], "maxItems": 20, "enableDeepScraping": false, "headless": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "IN" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.99acres.com/" ], "maxItems": 20, "enableDeepScraping": false, "headless": true }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("codingfrontend/99acres-properties-search-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
