## 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.

### FAQ

**Q: Why does it need US RESIDENTIAL proxy?**
Redfin's stingray API is geo-restricted to US IPs and rate-limits aggressively by IP address. Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy with US country provides fresh IPs per session. The proxy is hardcoded — no configuration needed.

**Q: How do I find a region ID / URL?**
Go to redfin.com, search for a city or ZIP. The URL will look like `https://www.redfin.com/city/11203/CA/Los-Angeles` — that's a valid start URL. Or just use the `search` field to have the scraper resolve it automatically.

**Q: Are detail page photos included?**
Only the cover photo is included. Full photo galleries require additional detail-page scraping which is rate-limited.

**Q: How fresh is the data?**
Redfin's GIS API returns live MLS data, typically updated within minutes of listing changes.

**Q: Can I scrape sold listings?**
No — sold-listing data on Redfin is rendered client-side via JavaScript that requires a full browser session. The supported modes are `SALE` (for-sale listings) and `RENT` (active rentals), each hitting a dedicated Redfin API endpoint.

### Use Cases

- **Real estate research** — track prices and inventory in specific markets
- **Investment analysis** — find undervalued properties in target ZIP codes
- **Market trends** — aggregate data across cities for analysis
- **Rental market monitoring** — pull for-rent listings for yield analysis
- **Property alerts** — monitor new listings matching criteria

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Redfin city/region URLs (e.g., https://www.redfin.com/city/11203/CA/Los-Angeles, https://www.redfin.com/zipcode/90210).

## `searchMode` (type: `string`):

For sale or for rent listings. SOLD is not supported — Redfin loads sold data via client-side JS that requires a browser.

## `search` (type: `string`):

Alternative to startUrls — a city/ZIP query (e.g., 'Los Angeles, CA'). Note: may fail if Redfin autocomplete is rate-limited; startUrls is more reliable.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of properties to return.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.redfin.com/city/11203/CA/Los-Angeles"
  ],
  "searchMode": "SALE",
  "maxItems": 3
}
```
