## 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

## Realtor.ca Listing Detail Scraper

Give it a list of realtor.ca listing URLs — get back full property details for each one: price, beds, baths, description, square footage, lot size, year built, parking, and the listing realtor/broker's name and phone number.

No coding needed. Paste in your URLs, run it, download the results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### What you get, per listing

- **Property**: MLS ID, address, city, province, postal code, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, building type, storeys, square footage, land size, year built, parking type, zoning type, days on Realtor.ca
- **Description**: the full write-up from the listing
- **Contact**: listing realtor's name and phone, brokerage name and phone

If a listing can't be scraped (e.g. removed, or temporarily blocked by the site), you'll get a row marked `BLOCKED_BY_SITE` instead of a silent gap — so you always know which URLs to retry.

### Input

Just a list of realtor.ca listing URLs:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/00000000/example-address-city" },
    { "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/00000001/another-example-city" }
  ]
}
```

That's all most users need. Advanced options (concurrency, retry count, proxy group) are available in the input form if you want to tune performance, but the defaults work well for most runs.

### Pricing

You're charged per listing successfully scraped — see the Actor's pricing tab for the current rate. Blocked or failed URLs are not charged.

### Notes

- realtor.ca uses bot-protection, so occasional blocked URLs are normal — the built-in retry logic handles most of these automatically. If a listing keeps coming back blocked, try running it again on its own a bit later.
- Field availability can vary slightly by listing (not every listing includes every detail on the page).

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more realtor.ca listing page URLs to scrape. Add each URL on its own line/entry.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

realtor.ca runs Incapsula bot protection. Datacenter proxies (the default/cheapest) often get blocked on this site — RESIDENTIAL is recommended for reliable results, at a higher platform cost per request.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many listing pages to fetch in parallel. Lower this if you see a lot of blocked requests.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

How many times to retry a listing (with a fresh proxy session) before giving up and marking it blocked.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/00000000/example-address"
    }
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  },
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "maxRequestRetries": 3
}
```

# 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 = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/00000000/example-address"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("dreaminawake/realtor-ca-listing-scraper").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/00000000/example-address" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("dreaminawake/realtor-ca-listing-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/00000000/example-address"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call dreaminawake/realtor-ca-listing-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dreaminawake/realtor-ca-listing-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
