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 ## Quisqueya Connection: RD Real Estate & Confotur **AI-powered Dominican Republic real estate scraper. Extracts from SuperCasas & Corotos, flags Confotur (Ley 158-01) tax-exempt properties, and matches investors via OpenAI. By Maria Correa-Resto.** > *Part of the Caribe Data Ecosystem — the most complete suite of Caribbean real estate intelligence tools on the Apify Store.* --- ### What does this Actor do? This Actor scrapes **SuperCasas.com** and **Corotos.com.do** — the two leading real estate platforms in the Dominican Republic — to extract investment-grade property listings enriched with **Confotur (Ley 158-01) tax-exemption analysis** and optional **AI-powered deal matching via OpenAI GPT-4o-mini**. It operates in two modes: #### 🏠 Mode 1: DEAL_SCRAPER Scrapes property listings from both platforms, normalizes data, and flags properties eligible for **Confotur tax exemptions** (up to 20 years of tax-free ownership in tourist zones like Punta Cana, Samaná, and Puerto Plata). #### 🤖 Mode 2: MATCH_ENGINE Analyzes scraped listings against an investor profile using OpenAI, generating a **match score (0–100)**, deal structure recommendations (Joint Venture, Hard Money, Buy & Hold, Wholesale/Option), and projected ROI estimates. --- ### Why Dominican Republic? Why Now? The DR is the **fastest-growing real estate market in the Caribbean**: - Tourism surpassed 10 million visitors in 2023 (record high) - Punta Cana ranked Top 3 for global vacation rental yields - Ley Confotur 158-01 offers **up to 20 years of tax exemption** on property tax, capital gains, and transfer tax - USD-denominated transactions common (dollarized market) - 30-minute flight from Miami, 4 hours from NYC US capital is flooding in — and it needs **accurate, structured data** to find the deals. --- ### Data Extracted Each property listing returns: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id` | Unique hash ID | | `title` | Property title | | `url` | Source URL | | `source` | SuperCasas or Corotos | | `propertyType` | Apartamento, Casa, Villa, Solar/Terreno, Penthouse, Finca, Oficina/Comercial | | `transactionType` | venta or alquiler | | `priceUSD` | Price in USD | | `priceDOP` | Price in Dominican Pesos | | `pricePerSqmUSD` | Price per square meter in USD | | `province` | Normalized province name | | `location` | Full location string | | `bedrooms` | Number of bedrooms | | `bathrooms` | Number of bathrooms | | `areaSqm` | Area in square meters | | `confoturEligible` | Boolean — is property in a Confotur zone? | | `confoturZone` | Name of the Confotur zone | | `confoturExemptionYears` | Years of tax exemption (15 or 20) | | `confoturTaxSavingsUSD` | Estimated USD tax savings over exemption period | | `matchScore` | AI match score 0-100 (MATCH_ENGINE mode only) | | `matchRationale` | AI explanation of match (MATCH_ENGINE mode only) | | `dealStructure` | Recommended deal type (MATCH_ENGINE mode only) | | `projectedROI` | Estimated annualized ROI (MATCH_ENGINE mode only) | --- ### Confotur Zones (Ley 158-01) The following provinces qualify for Confotur tax exemptions: | Province | Zone | Exemption Period | |----------|------|-----------------| | La Altagracia (Punta Cana/Bávaro) | Zona Turística Este | **20 years** | | Samaná | Zona Turística Norte-Este | **20 years** | | Puerto Plata | Zona Turística Norte | **20 years** | | La Romana | Zona Turística Este | **15 years** | | Pedernales | Zona Turística Sur | **20 years** | | Barahona | Zona Turística Sur | **20 years** | Tax exemptions typically cover: **property tax (IPI), capital gains tax, and transfer tax (3% ITBI)**. --- ### Input Parameters ```json { "mode": "DEAL_SCRAPER", "sources": ["SUPERCASAS", "COROTOS"], "transactionType": "venta", "provinces": ["la-altagracia", "santo-domingo", "santiago"], "confortorOnly": false, "maxItems": 100, "minPrice": 50000, "maxPrice": 1000000, "minBedrooms": 2, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` #### For MATCH\_ENGINE mode: ```json { "mode": "MATCH_ENGINE", "openaiApiKey": "sk-...", "investorBudgetUSD": 500000, "dealType": "JOINT_VENTURE", "investorProfile": "US-based family office seeking 10-15% yields, prefer Confotur zones, open to condo-hotel and fractional investments", "sources": ["SUPERCASAS"], "maxItems": 50 } ``` *** ### Usage Examples #### Example 1: Find Confotur-eligible condos in Punta Cana ```json { "mode": "DEAL_SCRAPER", "sources": ["SUPERCASAS", "COROTOS"], "provinces": ["la-altagracia"], "confortorOnly": true, "propertyTypes": ["Apartamento", "Penthouse"], "transactionType": "venta", "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example 2: AI-matched investment opportunities for a $300k budget ```json { "mode": "MATCH_ENGINE", "openaiApiKey": "sk-YOUR-KEY", "investorBudgetUSD": 300000, "dealType": "ANY", "investorProfile": "Retired couple from Florida, want rental income and annual vacation use", "provinces": ["la-altagracia", "samana"], "maxItems": 30 } ``` *** ### Anti-Blocking & Reliability This Actor is built for production-scale scraping: - **Apify RESIDENTIAL Proxies** — rotates real residential IPs from the Dominican Republic and the US - **CheerioCrawler** for SuperCasas (server-side rendered ASP.NET portal) — fast and lightweight - **PlaywrightCrawler** for Corotos (React SPA) — full browser automation for dynamic content - **Automatic retries** with exponential backoff on failed requests - **try/catch on every handler** — a single bad page never crashes the run - **Data validation** — filters out listings with invalid prices or missing critical fields *** ### Output Format Results are saved to Apify's **default Dataset** in JSON format. In MATCH\_ENGINE mode, AI analysis results are also saved to the **`match-results`** named Dataset, sorted by match score descending. You can export results to: - JSON / JSONL - CSV / Excel - Webhook (for real-time alerts on matching deals) - Zapier / Make (no-code automation) *** ### Tech Stack - **Runtime:** Node.js 20 + TypeScript - **Crawling:** Crawlee (CheerioCrawler + PlaywrightCrawler) - **Browser:** Chromium via Playwright - **AI:** OpenAI gpt-4o-mini (MATCH\_ENGINE mode) - **Platform:** Apify SDK v3 - **Sources:** SuperCasas.com (SSR) + Corotos.com.do (SPA) *** ### Developed By **Maria Correa-Resto** | Caribe Data Ecosystem *Expanding the suite of Caribbean real estate intelligence tools — from Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic and beyond.* - Puerto Rico Actor: [Boricua Connection: Real Estate Capital & Deal Matcher](https://apify.com/constructive_junk/boricua-connection) - Dominican Republic: This Actor - *Coming soon:* Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Panama *** ### Pricing This Actor uses the **Pay Per Result** model: - **Free:** First 50 results per month - **Starter:** $9.99 for 1,000 results - **Pro:** $49.99 for 10,000 results - MATCH\_ENGINE mode: Additional OpenAI API costs apply (approximately $0.01-0.05 per analyzed property with gpt-4o-mini) *** ### Changelog - **v0.1.0** (2026-07-02): Initial release — dual-source scraping (SuperCasas + Corotos), Confotur analysis, MATCH\_ENGINE with OpenAI GPT-4o-mini # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): DEAL\_SCRAPER extrae propiedades de SuperCasas y Corotos.
