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 ## UK Property Deal Alerts – Rightmove & Zoopla Monitor **Monitor UK property portals for new listings and price reductions.** > **Maintenance warning:** Rightmove and Zoopla aggressively detect and block scrapers. Residential proxies are strongly recommended. Selectors may break without warning after site updates. Run daily against your saved Rightmove/Zoopla search URLs. Get alerted when a property matching your criteria goes live or drops in price — before buyers using manual searches see it. ### What it detects - **New listings** — properties not seen in previous runs - **Price reductions** — listings where the asking price has dropped since last run - **Price reduction %** — how much was knocked off - **Historical tracking** — first seen date and price history stored in Apify Key-Value Store ### Pricing | Event | Price | |---|---| | Run started | $0.05 | | Listing checked | $0.002 | | New listing | +$0.004 | | Price reduced | +$0.004 | **100 listings daily, 5 new, 3 price drops = $0.27/day** ### Input | Field | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | searchUrls | required | Rightmove or Zoopla search result page URLs | | alertOnNew | true | Flag new listings not seen before | | alertOnPriceReduction | true | Flag listings with a price drop | | maxListingsPerSearch | 100 | Max listings per search URL | | maxPriceGbp | 0 | Filter – max asking price (0 = no limit) | | minBedrooms | 0 | Filter – minimum bedrooms (0 = no limit) | ### Output fields `portal`, `listingId`, `address`, `price`, `currency`, `propertyType`, `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `imageUrl`, `listingUrl`, `addedDate`, `isNew`, `priceReduced`, `previousPrice`, `priceReduction`, `priceReductionPercent`, `firstSeenAt`, `checkedAt`, `status`, `chargedEvent` ### Setup 1. Run a search on Rightmove or Zoopla with your desired filters 2. Copy the results page URL into `searchUrls` 3. Schedule to run daily via Apify Scheduler 4. Connect to n8n: filter `isNew: true` or `priceReduced: true` → Slack / email alert ### Proxy recommendation Use Apify Residential Proxies (UK geolocation) for best results. Datacenter IPs are frequently blocked by both portals. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Rightmove or Zoopla search result page URLs to monitor. Copy the URL from the results page after applying your filters. ## `portals` (type: `array`): Which property portals to scrape. Both Rightmove and Zoopla are supported. ## `alertOnNew` (type: `boolean`): Flag properties that have not been seen in a previous run. ## `alertOnPriceReduction` (type: `boolean`): Flag properties where the asking price has dropped since the last run. ## `maxListingsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listings to process per search URL per run. ## `maxPriceGbp` (type: `integer`): Exclude listings priced above this amount. Set to 0 to disable. ## `minBedrooms` (type: `integer`): Exclude listings with fewer bedrooms than this. Set to 0 to disable. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490&maxPrice=300000&minBedrooms=2" ], "portals": [ "rightmove", "zoopla" ], "alertOnNew": true, "alertOnPriceReduction": true, "maxListingsPerSearch": 100, "maxPriceGbp": 0, "minBedrooms": 0 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
