## 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

## Singapore HDB Resale Flat Prices Scraper

Extract official Singapore HDB (Housing Development Board) resale flat transaction data directly from the Singapore Government's open data portal ([data.gov.sg](https://data.gov.sg/dataset/resale-flat-prices)). No authentication, no proxy, and no rate limits — it's a fully open government API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Does this require any API key or login?**\
No. The data.gov.sg API is fully open. No authentication, no API key, no cookies.

**Q: Does it work without a proxy?**\
Yes. The data.gov.sg API is a government open data service with no bot protection or geo-blocking.

**Q: How current is the data?**\
HDB updates the dataset monthly. The latest transactions are typically available within 30 days of the transaction month.

**Q: What is the full date range covered?**\
The dataset covers resale transactions from January 2017 to the present.

**Q: How many records are available?**\
The full dataset contains over 170,000 transactions (and grows monthly).

**Q: Can I get all transactions for a town?**\
Yes — set `mode` to `byTown`, select the town, and set `maxItems` to 10000.

**Q: What is `pricePerSqm`?**\
It is a derived field calculated as `resalePrice / floorAreaSqm`, rounded to 2 decimal places. Useful for comparing value across different flat sizes.

**Q: Are HDB flats freehold?**\
No. All HDB flats are on 99-year leases. The `leaseCommenceDate` and `remainingLease` fields tell you how much lease is left.
