It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README

Realtor.ca Listings Scraper

## Realtor.ca Listings Scraper **$3.20 / 1,000 results** — pay only for results, no credit card to try. Normalized Canadian residential listings from [Realtor.ca](https://www.realtor.ca), CREA's national listing site — price, address, beds/baths, agent and brokerage contact, and photos, ready for a spreadsheet or a pipeline, not a scroll-and-read map search. ### 🎯 What this scrapes Give it a curated Canadian city or an explicit bounding box, plus a transaction type (sale or rent), and it returns one normalized record per listing: MLS number, price, street address, latitude/longitude, property type, beds/baths, interior size, amenities, agent name and phone, brokerage name and address, photo URLs, and the listing's own detail-page URL — deduplicated by listing ID across every page fetched in the run. Canada's #1 residential portal already draws serious scraping demand — the category's current leader alone runs over 16,000 times every 30 days — and this Actor targets the same `api2.realtor.ca` search endpoint the site's own map search calls. ### 🔥 Features - Curated 10-city convenience input (`Toronto`, `Vancouver`, `Montreal`, and more) **or** an explicit bounding box for precise areas. - Sale **and** rent transaction types in one Actor. - Price parsed from the listing's own numeric field, not scraped off formatted display text — with a formatted-text fallback if the numeric field is ever missing. - Agent name, phone, and brokerage name/address normalized per row. - Deduplicated by listing ID across pages within a run. - English and French response modes (`cultureId`). ### 💡 Use cases - **Investment deal screening** — pull normalized for-sale listings across any curated city or bounding box, with price/beds/baths ready for comparables analysis. - **Rental market research** — switch transaction type to rent to track asking rents across a city or micro-area. - **Agent/brokerage lead-gen** — collect agent name, phone, and brokerage contact per listing without visiting each detail page by hand. - **Cross-city market monitoring** — run the curated city list on a schedule to track new listings and price movement over time. ### ⚙️ How to use it 1. Click **Try for free**. 2. Set `searchArea` to `{"city": "Toronto"}` (or any curated city), or pass an explicit `{"latitudeMax","latitudeMin","longitudeMax","longitudeMin"}` bounding box. 3. Pick `transactionType` (`sale` or `rent`) and `maxResults`. 4. Run. Results land in the default dataset — export to JSON or CSV. ### 📥 Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `searchArea` | object | `{"city": "Toronto"}` | Either `{"city": ""}` or an explicit bounding box. Exactly one form | | `transactionType` | string | `"sale"` | `sale` or `rent` | | `cultureId` | string | `"1"` | `1` = English, `2` = French | | `maxResults` | integer | `48` | Cap on rows returned for this run (server page size 12, server max 600) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | `{"useApifyProxy": true}` | Apify Proxy configuration | ```json { "searchArea": {"city": "Toronto"}, "transactionType": "sale", "cultureId": "1", "maxResults": 48, "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": true} } ``` Curated cities in v1: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Halifax, Victoria. Need somewhere else? Pass an explicit bounding box instead. ### 📤 Output One row per listing, deduplicated by `id`: ```json { "id": "30320779", "mlsNumber": "C13821958", "price": 699000.0, "currency": "CAD", "transactionType": "sale", "streetAddress": "3703 - 35 MARINER TERRACE|Toronto (Waterfront Communities), Ontario M5V3V9", "latitude": 43.6398435, "longitude": -79.3920963, "propertyType": "Single Family", "bedrooms": "1 + 1", "bathroomTotal": 1, "sizeInterior": "65.0316 m2", "storiesTotal": "", "amenities": ["Security/Concierge", "Exercise Centre", "Visitor Parking", "Storage - Locker"], "floorAreaMeasurements": ["700+ sqft"], "agentName": "ROY WANG", "agentPhone": "905-909-0101", "brokerageName": "BAY STREET GROUP INC.", "brokerageAddress": "8300 WOODBINE AVE STE 500|MARKHAM, Ontario L3R9Y7", "photoUrls": ["https://cdn.realtor.ca/listings/TS639258083800500000/reb82/highres/8/c13821958_1.jpg"], "listingDetailUrl": "https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/30320779/3703-35-mariner-terrace-toronto-waterfront-communities-waterfront-communities-c1", "searchCity": "Toronto", "page": 1, "scrapedAt": "2026-09-24T00:00:00Z" } ``` ### 💰 Pricing | Event | Price | |---|---| | Actor start | $0.20 | | Result row emitted | $0.003 | Pay-per-event: 1,000 listings = **$3.20 per run** ($0.20 start + 1000 x $0.003). No data → no charge (only the small actor-start warm-up fee). ### 🚧 Limitations - v1 covers one search (one city or bounding box, one transaction type) per run, capped at the server's own 600-result ceiling. - Only residential listings — commercial and land property groups are out of scope for v1. - Listing-detail-page-only data (full photo galleries, open-house schedules, tax history, school ratings) isn't part of this search payload and isn't returned. - No agent email and no listing description text: Realtor.ca's search results carry neither (emails are contact-form references, remarks are blank), so we don't emit empty columns for them. - Curated city list covers 10 major Canadian cities; anywhere else needs an explicit bounding box. ### ❓ FAQ **Do I need a Realtor.ca account or API key?** No. This Actor reads Realtor.ca's own publicly listed search-result data — no login, no API key. **Can I search a custom area instead of a city?** Yes — pass an explicit bounding box (`latitudeMax`/`latitudeMin`/ `longitudeMax`/`longitudeMin`) instead of a city name. **What happens if my search matches nothing?** The run finishes successfully with zero rows and a status message naming what was searched — no charge beyond the small actor-start fee. ### 💬 Your feedback Found a field that's off, or a city that needs adding to the curated list?

Exactly one form. ## `transactionType` (type: `string`): sale or rent listings. ## `cultureId` (type: `string`): 1 = English, 2 = French. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Cap on rows returned for this run; drives pagination (server page size 12, server max 600). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy. Defaults to RESIDENTIAL pinned to CA — a bare useApifyProxy with no group resolves to datacenter egress, which Cloudflare treats differently than the fingerprint-only block seen from a residential/office IP during recon. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchArea": { "city": "Toronto" }, "transactionType": "sale", "cultureId": "1", "maxResults": 48, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "CA" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `datasetItems` (type: `string`): All dataset items as JSON. ## `datasetItemsCsv` (type: `string`): Same data exported to CSV. ## `datasetView` (type: `string`): Open the run dataset in the Console. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
