## 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.

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).

## Immowelt Germany Real Estate Scraper

**💰 $1.70 / 1 000 results**  ·  pay only for results  ·  no credit card to try

*We do the dirty work so your dataset stays clean.* 😈

Scrape sale and rent listings from Immowelt.de, Germany's #2 property portal — clean numeric price, living area, room count, and district data per listing.

</div>

***

### 🎯 What this scrapes

Immowelt.de is Germany's #2 property portal, and its rival cluster is deep: 30 Actors already target it on the Apify Store, 17 with real users, the leader running 714 jobs a month. (Germany's #1 portal, ImmoScout24, is deliberately out of scope here — two incumbents there each out-run our entire top earner combined, an impossible field to enter.) This Actor pulls every listing card off an Immowelt search page — Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, or any city/district you search — and normalizes it into clean numeric fields: a bare EUR price, living area in m², room count, and district, instead of the single German blob string (`"Wohnung zum Kauf - Treptow-Köpenick - 170.000 € - 2 Zimmer, 45 m²"`) the site actually renders. Both kaufen (sale) and mieten (rent) listings work the same way.

### 🔥 What we handle for you

- 🛡️ **Browser fingerprint rotation** — `curl-cffi` impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes, rotated across requests, so the target sees a browser, not Python.
- 🌐 **Proxy session rotation** via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every block, always pinned to a German (`DE`) exit so you never get a wrong-country page silently.
- 🔁 **Retries with exponential backoff** on `408 / 429 / 5xx` — up to 5 attempts per search URL, `Retry-After` honoured.
- 🧱 **Search-URL- and listing-level fault isolation** — one blocked search URL or one bad card is skipped and logged, never crashes the run.
- 🧊 **Clean, typed dataset rows** — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, numeric price/area fields with an explicit currency and unit instead of one unparsed German string.
- 💰 **Pay-Per-Event pricing** — you only pay for results that hit your dataset. No data, no charge.

### 💡 Use cases

- **Home-buyer market research** — pull current kaufen listings for a German city, normalized price-per-m² included, to compare districts fast.
- **Rental market benchmarking** — track mieten listing prices and living area across Berlin, Munich, and other cities.
- **PropTech and real-estate analytics** — feed a clean, deduped listings dataset into a pricing or valuation model.
- **Relocation services** — build client-facing property shortlists with district and room-count data included.

### ⚙️ How to use it

1. Click **Try for free** at the top of the page.
2. Paste one or more real immowelt.de search URLs (copy them straight from your browser — a bare city name alone won't resolve, Immowelt encodes a location-ID hash in every search URL).
3. Click **Start**. Output streams into the run's dataset.
4. Export from **Storage → Dataset** as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or fetch via the API.

### 📥 Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|:--:|---|---|
| `searchUrls` | `array` | **yes** | — | Direct immowelt.de/suche/(kaufen|mieten)/... search URLs copied from the site. A bare city name 410s. Up to 50. |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | no | 100 | Cap on rows this run, summed across all Search URLs. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | `object` | no | RESIDENTIAL group | The Actor pins country\_code='DE' internally whenever a proxy is used (never user-configurable). |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.immowelt.de/suche/kaufen/wohnung/berlin/berlin-10115/ad08de8634"
  ],
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}
```

### 📤 Output

Every row is one dataset item.

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `listing_id` | `string` | The expose/<uuid> path segment — stable, globally unique. |
| `url` | `string` | Canonical https://www.immowelt.de/expose/<uuid> detail URL. |
| `operation` | `string` | 'sale' (kaufen) or 'rent' (mieten), as requested. |
| `property_type` | `['string', 'null']` | Raw German noun from the card, e.g. 'Wohnung', 'Haus', 'Penthouse'. |
| `title` | `string` | Constructed from property\_type + district, e.g. 'Wohnung in Mitte'. |
| `price` | `['number', 'null']` | Asking price, parsed to a bare number. |
| `currency` | `string` | Always 'EUR'. |
| `price_per_sqm` | `['number', 'null']` | Computed when both price and area\_sqm are known. |
| `area_sqm` | `['number', 'null']` | Living area in square metres (Wohnfläche). |
| `rooms` | `['integer', 'null']` | Room count (Zimmer), when the card states one. |
| `district` | `['string', 'null']` | Borough/district name, e.g. 'Treptow-Köpenick'. |
| `city` | `string` | City slug from the search URL, title-cased, e.g. 'Berlin'. |
| `image_urls` | `array` | Gallery photo URLs (empty OK). |
| `scraped_at` | `string` | ISO 8601 UTC row-creation timestamp. |

#### Example output

  ],
  "scraped_at": "2026-09-15T12:00:00+00:00"
}
```

### 💰 Pricing

Pay-Per-Event — you pay only when these events fire:

| Event | USD | What it is |
|---|---:|---|
| `actor-start` | $0.20 | One-off warm-up charge per run |
| `result-row` | $0.0015 | Per unique dataset item |

Example: 1 000 results at the rates above ≈ **$1.70**. No subscription, no minimum, no card to start — Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit.

### 🚧 Limitations

v1 is search-results only — no detail-page enrichment. Immowelt's `/expose/<uuid>` detail pages sit behind a DataDome challenge that curl-cffi cannot clear, so fields only the detail page carries (bathrooms, year built, energy label, HOA fee, plot area, full address) are out of scope for v1. Numbered pagination is a client-side control that doesn't respond to a URL page parameter, so breadth comes from supplying more search URLs (different cities/districts), not from a page cursor. `district` is null when a card's title doesn't carry one (e.g. some commercial/land listings).

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need an Immowelt account or API key?**

No. This Actor scrapes Immowelt.de's own publicly listed property data — no login, no API key.

**Why can't I just pass a city name?**

Immowelt encodes an opaque location-ID hash in every real search URL (`.../berlin-10115/ad08de8634`). A bare city path 410s. Search on immowelt.de, apply your filters, then paste the resulting URL in.

**Why is there no `enrich` option like some of your other real-estate Actors?**

Immowelt's detail pages are protected in a way this Actor's HTTP-level approach can't clear. Rather than ship a broken toggle, v1 sticks to the search-card data, which already carries price, area, rooms, and district.

**Can I scrape multiple cities in one run?**

Yes — pass multiple search URLs and we fetch and dedupe across all of them.

```

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).
