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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 🏠 Property24 Real Estate Scraper **[Property24](https://www.property24.com/)** is South Africa's premier and largest property search portal, listing hundreds of thousands of residential and commercial properties for sale and to rent. For real estate investors, market analysts, property developers, or estate agencies, manually compiling data from Property24 is incredibly slow and tedious. This Actor automates the entire process. Start from *any* Property24 search results URL (with your specific city, suburb, price, and feature filters already applied in your browser), and the scraper will seamlessly extract deep property details, geolocation coordinates, and **agent/agency phone numbers** into a clean, structured dataset. --- ### πŸ’‘ Perfect for… - **Market Analysis & Valuations:** Monitor real estate listing prices, historical rates/taxes, and price-per-square-meter trends across South African suburbs. - **Investment Scouting:** Filter Property24 for properties within your target yield, find distressed/urgent sales, or capture listings in high-growth neighborhoods. - **Lead Generation & Sales:** Build databases of active South African estate agencies and individual listing agents, complete with their profile links, agency names, and **verified contact phone numbers**. - **Data-Driven Real Estate Portals:** Easily aggregate up-to-date property listings, image galleries, and detailed features for regional property analysis. --- ### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper - 🎯 **Advanced Filter & Context Support:** Simply apply your filters (price, property type, bedrooms, suburb, etc.) directly on Property24, copy the browser URL, and paste it into `input_url`.
