## 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

## SUUMO Scraper

Scrape real-estate listings from [suumo.jp](https://suumo.jp) — Japan's largest real-estate portal, operated by Recruit — covering used condos, new houses, used houses and land for sale across all 47 prefectures.

### What does this actor do?

SUUMO Scraper searches suumo.jp by property type, prefecture, price and floor area, returning structured listing data — no login, no API key required. It reads suumo.jp's public, server-rendered listing pages directly.

### Output data

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

- `title`, `propertyName`, `listingId`
- `priceRaw` (original Japanese text, e.g. `2980万円`), `priceJpy` (parsed numeric yen value), `priceCurrency` (`JPY`)
- `address`, `stationAccess` (nearest train line/station and walking time), `walkMinutes` (parsed walk time in minutes)
- `floorAreaRaw`, `floorAreaSqm` (parsed square meters) — floor area for condos/houses, land area for land listings
- `layout` (room layout, e.g. `3LDK`)
- `balconyAreaRaw`, `balconyAreaSqm`
- `builtDateRaw`, `builtYear` (parsed construction year)
- `imageUrl`
- `propertyType`, `prefecture`
- `sourceUrl` / `detailUrl`, `recordType`, `scrapedAt`

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

### Input options

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `propertyType` | `usedCondo`, `newHouse`, `usedHouse`, or `land` |
| `prefecture` | Any of Japan's 47 prefectures |
| `priceMinJpy` / `priceMaxJpy` | Price range in Japanese yen |
| `floorAreaMinSqm` / `floorAreaMaxSqm` | Floor/land area range in square meters |
| `builtYearMin` | Drop listings built before this year |
| `layoutCategory` | (not land) Room-layout category: studio, 1K/DK/LDK, 2K/DK/LDK, 3K/DK/LDK, 4K/DK/LDK, or 5K and more |
| `maxWalkMinutes` | Only keep listings within this many minutes' walk of the nearest station |
| `sortBy` | Sort order: newest, price (asc/desc), floor area (asc/desc), layout (fewest/most rooms), built date (oldest/newest) |
| `keyword` | Only keep listings whose property name/title/address/layout contains this text |
| `maxItems` | Maximum number of listings to return |

### Example input

```json
{
  "propertyType": "usedCondo",
  "prefecture": "tokyo",
  "priceMaxJpy": 50000000,
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

### Use cases

- **Market research** — track average prices per prefecture or property type over time.
- **Investment screening** — filter by price and floor area to find undervalued properties.
- **Relocation planning** — compare listings and station access across prefectures.
- **Land development scouting** — filter land listings by area and price.

### FAQ

**Does this require a suumo.jp account or API key?**
No. The actor reads suumo.jp's public listing search pages directly.

**Can I search for rental properties, new-build condos, or custom-order houses?**
Not currently. This actor covers properties for sale as individual unit listings: used condos, new houses, used houses and land. suumo.jp's rental (chintai) section, new-build condo (新築マンション / shinchiku) section, and custom-order house (注文住宅 / chumon) section are all organized as project/catalog pages rather than a paginated list of individual unit listings, and require different scraping logic that isn't yet supported.

**Why do some listings lack `builtYear` or `layout`?**
Land listings have no building, so `builtYear` and `layout` don't apply. New-house listings under construction may also omit these until the build is complete. The actor never invents data — a missing field means suumo.jp didn't publish it for that listing.

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

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).
