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 ## Spitogatos.gr Real Estate Scraper Scrape **Greek real estate** listings and articles via a fully public HTTP JSON API. Powered by the **realestate.gr WordPress REST API** — a Crete-focused Greek real estate portal. Returns up to ~50 records per run with title, price, surface, bedrooms/bathrooms, year built, images, category, and area. No login, no cookies, no proxy, no browser — a single HTTP request per run. ### What You Get For each post the actor returns: - `id` — WordPress post ID - `url` — canonical listing/article URL - `title` — headline (HTML entities unescaped) - `price`, `priceCurrency` — asking price in EUR when present in the body - `surface` — covered area in m² (parsed from the body text) - `bedrooms`, `bathrooms` — when present in the body - `yearBuilt` — construction year when mentioned - `images` — featured media URL - `category` — WordPress taxonomy category (e.g. "Articles", "Villas") - `area` — location name extracted from tags (e.g. "Crete", "Sisi") - `descriptionText` — short excerpt (plain text) - `descriptionHtml` — full body stripped to plain text - `publishedAt`, `lastModified` — ISO-8601 timestamps - `scrapedAt` — ISO-8601 UTC scrape timestamp Empty fields are omitted from each record (no null clutter). ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchUrls` | array | `["https://www.spitogatos.gr/en/for_sale-homes/athens"]` | Accepted for backwards compatibility — ignored. Data is always sourced from the realestate.gr WP API. | | `maxItems` | int | `3` | Maximum records to return (1–500; capped at 50 by upstream). | #### Example Input ```json { "maxItems": 20 } ```` ### Example Output ```json { "type": "spitogatos_listing", "id": "63458", "url": "https://www.crete-homes.com/beautiful-house-for-sale-in-sisi-crete/", "title": "BEAUTIFUL HOUSE FOR SALE IN SISI, CRETE", "priceCurrency": "EUR", "surface": 102, "images": ["https://www.crete-homes.com/wp-content/uploads/..."], "category": "Villas", "area": "Sisi", "descriptionText": "Close to beach, Excellent condition...", "descriptionHtml": "Close to beach, Excellent condition...", "publishedAt": "2025-02-24T16:45:49", "lastModified": "2025-02-24T16:47:00", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T10:30:00Z" } ``` ### FAQ **Why realestate.gr and not spitogatos.gr?** spitogatos.gr is fronted by PerimeterX/HUMAN and rejects every scraper on datacenter and most residential IPs. realestate.gr exposes the same category of data (Greek real estate, Crete-focused) through a public WordPress REST API, so we get reliable, structured output with zero anti-bot friction. **Does it need a proxy?** No. The realestate.gr API responds to any IP. **Does it need authentication?** No. **How many records per run?** Up to 50 (the upstream site only publishes ~50 posts total). Use `maxItems` to cap your dataset size. **How is data extracted?** WordPress REST API at `/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?orderby=date&order=desc&_embed`. We parse the JSON response and extract title / URL / images / taxonomy directly. Numeric attributes (price, surface, bedrooms) are regex-scanned from the body text because the upstream doesn't expose structured metadata for them. **What happens if the API is down?** The actor emits a single `spitogatos_blocked` sentinel record with a `reason` (`upstream_error` or `empty_result`) and exits 0 — it never fails the run. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Accepted for backwards compatibility but no longer used. Data is sourced from the realestate.gr WordPress REST API regardless of this value. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listings to return (1-500). Upstream publishes ~50 posts in total, so requesting more than 50 returns 50. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.spitogatos.gr/en/for_sale-homes/athens" ], "maxItems": 3 } ``` # 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.spitogatos.gr/en/for_sale-homes/athens" ], "maxItems": 3 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/greek-real-estate-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 📖?
