## 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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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.

## SeLoger Scraper

![SeLoger Scraper](cover.jpg)

Copying property details off SeLoger one ad at a time is slow, and the page hides most of the useful numbers behind tabs and compressed page data. This scraper pulls them out for you. Hand it a SeLoger search or listing URL and it walks the results page by page, reading the price, living area, room and bedroom counts, city, district, energy rating, agent, and the full photo set straight from the listing. Point it at one search or a stack of them and let it page through until you hit your cap.

### What you get

Every listing comes back as one tidy row with the same shape, so the data drops cleanly into a sheet or database. Fields fall into a few groups:

- **Identity and link** — `listingId`, `sourceSite`, `listingStatus`, `detailUrl`
- **Price and size** — `priceLabel`, `pricePerSqm`, `livingAreaSqm`, `plotAreaSqm`, `roomCount`, `bedroomCount`
- **Location** — `cityName`, `postalCode`, `districtName`
- **Description and media** — `listingTitle`, `adHeadline`, `fullDescription`, `photoLinks`, `energyRating`
- **Agent and flags** — `agentName`, `exclusiveListing`, `virtualTourAvailable`, `agencyFeesApply`, `newBuild`
- **Run metadata** — `collectedAt`

### Quick start

1. Click **Try for free** and open the input form.
2. Paste one or more SeLoger search or listing URLs into **SeLoger search or listing URLs**.
3. Set **Results per URL** to cap how many listings each search returns.
4. Press **Start**, then download the data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML once the run finishes.

![How it works](how-it-works.jpg)

### Use cases

- **Property market research** — track asking prices and price per m² across a city or postal code
- **Real estate lead lists** — pull agent names and listing links for outreach
- **Investment screening** — filter by living area, plot size, room count, and energy rating
- **Relocation and search** — gather every matching listing in one export instead of clicking through pages
- **Comparable analysis** — build a set of similar properties to value a home against
- **Trend tracking** — re-run a search over time and watch how prices and supply shift

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchUrls` | array of strings | Yes | SeLoger search or listing pages to crawl. Each URL is paged through on its own. |
| `resultsPerUrl` | integer | No | How many listings to collect from each URL before moving on. Default `15`. |
| `timeoutSeconds` | integer | No | Seconds to wait for each page before giving up. Default `45`; raise it on slow connections. |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchUrls": [
        "https://www.seloger.com/classified-search?distributionTypes=Buy&estateTypes=Apartment&locations=AD08FR21438&m=homepage_new_search_classified_search_result"
    ],
    "resultsPerUrl": 15,
    "timeoutSeconds": 45
}
````

### Output

Each listing the scraper reads becomes one row. Successful rows carry the full property record; if a page fails, the run writes a short error row instead so nothing is silently dropped.

#### Example output

```json
{
    "listingId": "210847562",
    "sourceSite": "seloger",
    "listingStatus": "Published",
    "listingTitle": "Appartement 3 pièces 68 m²",

    "virtualTourAvailable": false,
    "agencyFeesApply": true,
    "newBuild": false,
    "photoLinks": [
        "https://v.seloger.com/s/cdn/x/visuels/1/a/b/c/1abc.jpg",
        "https://v.seloger.com/s/cdn/x/visuels/2/d/e/f/2def.jpg"
    ],
    "collectedAt": "2026-06-30T09:15:00.000000+00:00"
}
```

#### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `listingId` | string | SeLoger's own identifier for the listing |
| `sourceSite` | string | Platform the listing came from, for example 'seloger' |
| `listingStatus` | string | Where the ad sits in its lifecycle, such as 'Published' |
| `listingTitle` | string | Headline shown at the top of the ad |
| `priceLabel` | string | Asking price exactly as printed on SeLoger |
| `pricePerSqm` | string | Cost per square metre as displayed on the ad |
| `roomCount` | integer | Total number of rooms |
| `bedroomCount` | integer | Number of bedrooms |
| `livingAreaSqm` | number | Indoor living space in square metres |

| `postalCode` | string | Postal code of the location |
| `districtName` | string | Neighbourhood or district |
| `energyRating` | string | Energy efficiency grade, for example A, B, or D |
| `adHeadline` | string | Short headline that opens the description |
| `fullDescription` | string | Complete marketing text for the property |
| `agentName` | string | Agency, broker, or seller behind the listing |
| `detailUrl` | string | Direct link to the property page on SeLoger |
| `exclusiveListing` | boolean | True when the ad is exclusive to SeLoger |
| `virtualTourAvailable` | boolean | True when a 3D walkthrough is offered |
| `agencyFeesApply` | boolean | True when brokerage or agency fees are charged |
| `newBuild` | boolean | True when the property is a new construction |
| `photoLinks` | array of strings | Every photo URL attached to the listing |
| `collectedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of when the row was captured |
| `sourceUrl` | string | Page being processed when an error occurred (error rows only) |
| `errorMessage` | string | Reason a page failed; absent on successful rows |

### Tips for best results

- **Start small.** Set `resultsPerUrl` to 5 or 10 on your first run to confirm the URL and output shape before pulling a full batch.
- **Use the search URL, not the home page.** Build the search you want on SeLoger first, then copy the address bar — filters in the URL carry straight through.
- **Raise `timeoutSeconds`** toward 60 if you see timeout errors on larger or slower searches.
- **Expect some `null` values.** Plot area is empty for most apartments, and a listing that skips a field simply returns `null` there. That is a data gap, not a failure.
- **Watch for error rows.** If a page can't be read, the run records a row with `sourceUrl` and `errorMessage` so you can spot and re-run just those URLs.

### How can I use SeLoger property data?

**How can I use the SeLoger Scraper to research a local property market?**
Build the search you care about on SeLoger — a city, a price band, a property type — copy the URL into `searchUrls`, and let the scraper page through the results. Each listing returns `priceLabel`, `pricePerSqm`, `livingAreaSqm`, and `cityName`, so you can group rows by district or postal code and see how prices move across an area.

**How can I export SeLoger listings to a spreadsheet?**
Run the scraper, then use the export button to download JSON, CSV, or Excel. Every listing is one row with the same columns, so the file opens cleanly in any spreadsheet tool. You skip the copy-pasting from SeLoger and the manual cleanup of price and area numbers.

**How can I pull SeLoger agent and listing links for outreach?**
Each row includes `agentName` and the `detailUrl` of the listing. Collect a batch of listings for your target area and you have a ready list of agencies and the exact ads they posted, useful for partnership, sourcing, or competitive research.

**How can I monitor SeLoger price changes over time?**
Save the same `searchUrls` and run the scraper on a schedule. Comparing `priceLabel` and `pricePerSqm` across runs shows which listings dropped their price, which are new, and how supply in a neighbourhood is trending.

### Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses or private contact information. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).
