Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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. 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). # README ## Rightmove UK Property Scraper (Unofficial) Scrape Rightmove UK property listings, locations, filters, and property details with normalized output for price monitoring, property research, market research, and real estate workflows. This is an unofficial actor and is not affiliated with Rightmove. ### Proxy behavior This actor uses the shared Apify proxy contract used across the workspace. `rightmove_uk` is expected to work in direct mode first, with proxy fallback if the site starts blocking cloud runs. UK proxies are recommended for improved location accuracy. ### Supported operations - `probe` - `locations` - `search_filters` - `search` - `category` - `item` ### Operation guide The Apify Console form shows the union of all supported fields, so the visible inputs do not change when you switch `operation`. Use the guide below to know which fields are required. - `probe` Required: none Optional: `postcode`, `location`, `includeRaw` - `locations` Required: `query` Optional: `limit`, `includeRaw` - `search_filters` Required: one of `query`, `postcode`, `location`, `location_identifier`, or `url` Optional: `channel`, `radius`, `includeRaw` - `search` Required: one of `query`, `postcode`, `location`, or `location_identifier` Optional: `channel`, `toRent`, `newHomes`, `commercial`, `radius`, `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `bedroomsMin`, `bedroomsMax`, `bathroomsMin`, `bathroomsMax`, `propertyType`, `furnished`, `mustHave`, `dontShow`, `sort`, `filter`, `page`, `limit`, `includeRaw` - `category` Required: one of `location_identifier`, `url`, `postcode`, or `location` Optional: `channel`, `toRent`, `newHomes`, `commercial`, `radius`, `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `bedroomsMin`, `bedroomsMax`, `bathroomsMin`, `bathroomsMax`, `propertyType`, `furnished`, `mustHave`, `dontShow`, `sort`, `filter`, `page`, `limit`, `includeRaw` - `item` Required: one of `propertyId` or `propertyUrl` Optional: `includeRaw` ### Example inputs These starter examples were validated locally against the live site. ```json { "operation": "probe", "location": "Bristol", "includeRaw": false } ```` ```json { "operation": "locations", "query": "Bristol", "limit": 10, "includeRaw": false } ``` ```json { "operation": "search", "query": "Bristol", "channel": "sale", "page": 1, "limit": 24, "sort": "newest", "includeRaw": false } ``` ```json { "operation": "category", "locationIdentifier": "REGION^219", "channel": "sale", "page": 1, "limit": 24, "sort": "newest", "includeRaw": false } ``` ```json { "operation": "item", "propertyId": "171636185", "includeRaw": false } ``` ```json { "operation": "search_filters", "locationIdentifier": "REGION^219", "channel": "sale", "radius": 1.0, "includeRaw": false } ``` ### Output - **Dataset**: normalized property listings, locations, or structured filter rows depending on the operation - **Key-value store `OUTPUT`**: run summary with `source`, `operation`, `success`, `total`, `errors`, `proxy`, and `monetization` ### Output fields (listing) - `id`, `property_id`, `url`, `slug`, `title`, `summary` - `price`, `price_pcm`, `currency`, `price_display`, `price_qualifier` - `property_type`, `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `status` - `address`, `postcode`, `location`, `latitude`, `longitude` - `image`, `images` - `added_on`, `updated_on`, `added_on_text` - `floor_area_sqft`, `floor_area_sqm` - `agent_name`, `agent_branch`, `agent_phone` - `features`, `listing_update` - `channel`, `source` ### Output fields (item - additional) - `short_description`, `description` - `floorplans`, `brochures`, `videos`, `virtual_tour_url` - `epc_rating`, `epc_graphs`, `council_tax_band` - `transaction_type`, `tenure` - `nearest_stations` - `review_summary` - `heating`, `parking`, `garden` features - `agent_profile_url`, `agent_address`, `agent_logo` ### Limitations - Page size on public list pages is capped at 24 listings - Location identifier format must be `TYPE^ID` (e.g., `REGION^219`, `OUTCODE^264`) - No browser required - uses HTML/JSON extraction - Individual review rows not extracted (summary only) # Actor input Schema ## `operation` (type: `string`): Actor operation to execute.
