## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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`).

### 🔍 What does it do?

Propertyware rentals monitor collects anonymous public rental listings from Propertyware tenant pages. It is for teams that need a current inventory view and a dependable record of what changed between complete runs.

It checks what each source publicly supports before filtering. If a requested amenity, property type, or leasing contact is unavailable, that source returns no rows with a clear warning. Your filter is never silently weakened.

### 👥 Who is it for?

- Rental acquisitions teams that want fresh openings and public leasing routes.
- Market analysts who need rent changes and upcoming availability across selected managers.
- Operations teams that need a recurring rental snapshot with dependable change labels.

### ✨ What you get

- Current listings with address, rent, beds, baths, area, availability, and public links when exposed.
- Factual new, changed, unchanged, and removed labels.
- Rent per square foot and days-until-available signals when source values support them.
- Public-contact readiness and real contact channels when a source exposes them.
- Source capabilities and a run summary for transparent filtering.

### 🛡️ Public data and fair-use boundary

This Actor only uses anonymous public Propertyware rental pages. It does not accept credentials, access resident or manager portals, or use private data.

Free usage is protected by a 25-item cap, three runs per day, and a 30-minute cooldown. Development, tests, the owner account, and eligible paid runs are exempt.

### ❓ FAQ

#### Does it work with a Propertyware login?

No. Use public Propertyware rental pages only.

#### Why did a source return no rows?

The source may not support a requested option. Check SOURCE\_CAPABILITIES and RUN\_SUMMARY for the exact warning.

#### When is a listing marked removed?

Only after a complete source traversal. Capped, failed, and partial runs never infer removals.

#### Can I use it for recurring monitoring?

Yes. Current listings always emit with factual change metadata on later complete runs.

```

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).
