## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Leboncoin Classifieds Scraper

Extract classified ads from **leboncoin.fr** — France's largest classifieds platform. Returns title, description, price, location, images, owner info, and category-specific attributes (real estate specs, vehicle specs, job details, etc.).

### Features

- **30 output fields** per ad — flat schema with typed defaults (zero nulls)
- **All categories supported** — real estate (rentals + sales), vehicles, jobs, services, electronics, fashion, etc.
- **Filter by category, keyword, location, price** — via Leboncoin URL parameters
- **Owner type** (`private` vs `pro`) for lead segmentation
- **Geocoordinates** for every ad
- **Image gallery** with multiple resolutions
- **Generic attributes** (real estate type, surface, rooms, energy class, etc.) flattened into a single dict
- **DataDome bypass** via curl_cffi Chrome 131 + RESIDENTIAL/FR proxy (hardcoded, applied automatically)
- **Pagination** via `?page=N` (35 ads per page)

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | Array | Leboncoin search URLs (e.g., `https://www.leboncoin.fr/recherche?category=10&locations=Paris`) |
| `category` | Integer | Category ID when no startUrls. Verified: 9=real estate sales, 10=rentals, 2=cars, 6=auto equipment, 17=phones, 33=jobs. For other categories, find the ID in any leboncoin.fr search URL. |
| `search` | String | Free-text keyword (combined with category) |
| `maxItems` | Integer | Maximum ads to return (default 50, max 1000) |

#### Example Input

```json

    ],
    "maxItems": 100
}
````

Or filter mode:

```json
{
    "category": 2,
    "search": "Tesla",
    "maxItems": 50
}
```

### FAQ

**Q: Do I need a proxy?**
No configuration needed — a French residential proxy is hardcoded and applied automatically. Leboncoin's DataDome anti-bot blocks Apify datacenter IPs with a CAPTCHA challenge, so the scraper requires `RESIDENTIAL/FR` traffic combined with `curl_cffi` Chrome 131 TLS impersonation. Sessions are rotated automatically on failure.

**Q: How do I find the category ID?**
Browse to leboncoin.fr, apply filters, then look at the URL: `?category=10` is rentals, `?category=9` is real estate sales, `?category=2` is vehicles. The full list is on Leboncoin's category page.

**Q: How many results per page?**
35 ads per page. The scraper paginates via `?page=N` until `maxItems` is reached.

**Q: Are pro and private ads both included?**
Yes. The `ownerType` field tells you which. You can filter post-scrape if you only want one type.

**Q: How fresh is the data?**
Leboncoin's `__NEXT_DATA__` contains the live search results — same data as their website at the moment of fetch.

### Use Cases

- **Real estate market research** — track rental and sale prices by city / region
- **Vehicle pricing intelligence** — monitor used-car markets across France
- **Lead generation** — discover pro sellers with mailing addresses (via owner data)
- **Job market analysis** — extract job postings by region and category
- **Price monitoring** — daily runs to detect price changes
- **Competitor analysis** — track listings from specific stores
