## 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

## 🇳🇬 Nigeria Property Centre Scraper

Want [Nigeria Property Centre](https://nigeriapropertycentre.com/for-sale) listings in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** (purpose, type, state, bedrooms, price) — better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`**. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters.

NPC lists more than 100,000 properties for sale. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Agents:** Export Lagos and Abuja sale or rent ads with price and bedrooms.
- **Dashboards:** Track houses, flats, land, and commercial stock.
- **Market research:** Slice by state, subtype, furnishing, or recency.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured NPC rows with public listing URLs.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live NPC results.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed titles, locations, and prices into retrieval pipelines.
- **🔗 AI Workflows:** Plug into LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, and similar stacks.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste a search URL, or use the dropdowns. `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Same purpose, type, subtype, state, area, bedrooms, price, furnishing, serviced, shared, keywords, added date, and sort as the site.
- 🌐 **Nationwide:** All 36 states plus Abuja.

### 📦 What's inside the data?

Every row can include:

- **Listing:** id, url, title, purpose, category, description
- **Price:** price, currency (NGN), price period for rent or short let
- **Specs:** bedrooms, bathrooms, toilets, parking, area
- **Location / agent:** location, added date, agent, featured, verified photos, image

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Input URL**

1. Open [Nigeria Property Centre](https://nigeriapropertycentre.com/for-sale), apply filters, copy the URL.
2. Paste it into `input_url`.
3. Set `max_results` and click **Start**.

**Option B — Structured filters (better for AI agents)**

1. Leave `input_url` empty.
2. Pick sale or rent, a property type, and a state.
3. Set `max_results` (up to 2000) and click **Start**.

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).
