Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 🏠 CoinAfrique Real Estate Scraper

Want property ads from [CoinAfrique](https://ci.coinafrique.com/categorie/immobilier) in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** — better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`**. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters.

This actor stays on property shelves that share the same fields (offer, rooms, bathrooms, area): apartments, villas, land, buildings, offices, vacation homes, rooms, and farms. It covers 12 country portals and returns up to 2000 rows per run.

Vehicle and product ads live in separate actors, because those shelves use different filters and different columns.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Agencies:** Export CoinAfrique apartments and villas with rooms, bathrooms, and area.
- **Dashboards:** Track sale and rent prices in Abidjan, Dakar, Douala, Cotonou, and Lomé.
- **Market research:** Slice listings by city, offer type, rooms, or price across 12 countries.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured rows with seller, photos, and the public ad text.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live CoinAfrique property ads.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed titles, locations, and property details into retrieval pipelines.
- **🔗 AI Workflows:** Plug into LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, and similar stacks.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste any CoinAfrique property URL (`ci.coinafrique.com`, `sn.coinafrique.com`, and the other country portals), or pick a country, property type, and offer. `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Country, property type, sale or rent, rooms, bathrooms, city, keyword, price, sort, posting window, professional sellers, and featured ads.
- 🌐 **Full property ads:** Offer, rooms, bathrooms, area, photos, seller, and description.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call dadhalfdev/coinafrique-real-estate-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dadhalfdev/coinafrique-real-estate-scraper"

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).
