## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Bien'ici Scraper

Scrape real-estate listings from [bienici.com](https://www.bienici.com) — one of France's largest property portals, backed by a consortium of major French banks and estate-agency networks, covering flats, houses, lofts, commercial premises and more, for sale or rent, nationwide.

### What does this actor do?

Bien'ici Scraper searches bienici.com by transaction type, property type, location, price, surface area and rooms, returning structured listing data — no login, no API key required. You can also fetch specific listings by their ID or URL.

### Output data

Each result is a JSON record with (where available):

- `adId`, `title`, `description`, `transactionType` (`buy`/`rent`), `propertyType`
- `price`, `priceCurrency` (`EUR`), `pricePerSquareMeter`
- `surfaceArea`, `landSurfaceArea` (houses), `roomsQuantity`, `bedroomsQuantity`, `bathroomsQuantity`, `showerRoomsQuantity`, `toiletQuantity`
- `floor`, `floorQuantity`, `parkingPlacesQuantity`, `enclosedParkingQuantity`, `balconyQuantity`, `terracesQuantity`, `cellarsOrUndergroundsQuantity`, `yearOfConstruction`
- `city`, `postalCode`, `departmentCode`, `district`, `latitude`, `longitude`
- `energyClassification`, `greenhouseGazClassification` (French DPE/GES ratings)

- `hasGarden`, `hasPool`, `hasCellar`, `hasCaretaker`, `hasAlarm`, `hasDoorCode`, `hasIntercom`, `isCalm`, `isRecent`, `isSubjectToRentControl`, `flatSharing`, `flatSharingNotAllowed`

- `energyValue`, `greenhouseGazValue` (numeric DPE/GES values in kWh/m²/year and kgCO2/m²/year, alongside the `A`–`G` letter classifications), `energyPerformanceDiagnosticDate`, `minEnergyConsumption`/`maxEnergyConsumption`, `averageAnnualEnergyConsumption`, `epdFinalEnergyConsumption`
- `photoUrls` (list), `virtualTourUrls` (list — 360° tours / video walkthroughs, where the agency published one)
- `agencyName`, `accountType`, `reference`
- `publicationDate`, `modificationDate`, `availableDate` (rent, move-in date)
- `agencyFeePercentage`, `priceWithoutFees`, `feesChargedTo` (`purchaser`/`seller`, sale listings), `annualCondominiumFees`, `condominiumPartsQuantity` (sale listings in a co-ownership)
- `monthlyCharges`, `chargesMethod`, `rentWithoutCharges`, `rentExtra`, `agencyRentalFee`, `inventoryOfFixturesFees`, `safetyDeposit` (rent)
- `sourceUrl`, `recordType`, `scrapedAt`

Fields that bienici.com doesn't provide for a given listing are simply omitted — you'll never see `null` or empty placeholders.

### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "transactionType": "buy",
  "propertyTypes": ["flat"],
  "locationQuery": "Paris",
  "priceMax": 500000,
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

### Example: fetch specific listings

```json
{
  "mode": "byIds",
  "adIds": ["https://www.bienici.com/annonce/immo-facile-60587888"]
}
```

### Use cases

- **Market research** — track average sale/rent prices per city or arrondissement over time.
- **Investment screening** — filter by price, surface, and rooms to find undervalued properties.
- **Lead generation** — pull agency contact details for outreach.
- **Energy-efficiency analysis** — filter/analyze by DPE (`energyClassification`) and GES ratings.

### FAQ

**Does this require a bienici.com account or API key?**
No. The actor reads bienici.com's public listing search — the same data your browser loads when you search the site.

**Can I search outside of France?**
No — bienici.com only covers properties within France.

**Why is `agencyFeePercentage` / `monthlyCharges` sometimes missing?**
Those fields only apply to sale listings (`agencyFeePercentage`) or rental listings (`monthlyCharges`, `safetyDeposit`) respectively, and only when the agency has published them. The actor never invents data.

**How many listings can I get per run?**
Up to `maxItems` (default 30, max 2000).

**Why isn't there an `agencyFeeUrl` field?**
bienici.com's API does return a link to the agency's fee schedule PDF, but it's hosted on the agency's own third-party media CDN, which blocks direct (non-browser) requests even with correct headers — the actor omits this field rather than ship a link that returns an error for API consumers.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,crawlerbros/bienici-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
