## 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

## FINN.no Listings Scraper (Torget, cars, real estate, jobs)

finn.no search results as flat rows: keywords with price bounds, or any FINN search URL with your own filters (area, category, attributes). Monitor mode on a saved Task returns only new listings and price changes since the last run, with optional webhook / Telegram summary. For resellers, car and property watchers, recruiters and price research in Norway.

### What you get

`id`, `url`, `title`, `price` (NOK), `priceLabel`, `priceType`, `city`, `lat`, `lon`, `images[]`, `sellerName` (dealers/organisations), `sellerType` (private/business), `createdAt` (posted time, UTC), `isPromoted`, `deliveryAvailable` (FINN shipping flag), `tradeType` (Til salgs / Gis bort / Ønskes kjøpt), `labels[]`, `adType`, `params{}` (vertical-specific extras), `searchKey`, `query`, `rank`, `scrapedAt`.

### Input

- `queries` + `vertical` (torget, bil, eiendom, jobb, bolig-leie), or `searchUrl` copied from FINN (filters included).
- `priceFrom` / `priceTo`, `sortBy`, `maxPages` (about 50 listings per page).
- `maxItems`; `mode: monitor` for alerts.

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| result | $0.001 per listing ($1 per 1,000) |
| monitor-check | $0.005 per monitor run |
| change | $0.001 per new/changed listing |

Charged only for listings actually pushed. No proxy needed.

### Limits

- Ad detail pages are not opened: descriptions, seller phone and full attribute tables are not included.
- FINN serves at most 50 pages per search; narrow with filters to see more.

### Changelog

- 0.1: initial release — keyword search, custom search URLs, monitor mode.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "queries": [
        "sykkel"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("datahamster/finn-no-listings").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "queries": [
    "sykkel"
  ]
}' |
apify call datahamster/finn-no-listings --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,datahamster/finn-no-listings"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
