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.

Search for "Datur Event Urls Mp Listing" in the Apify Store. 2. Click "Try for free" or "Run". 3. Configure input parameters as needed. 4. Click "Start" to begin extraction. 5. Monitor progress in the log. 6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel). ### Output Format The output is a JSON array containing objects with the following fields: - `posting_id`: Unique identifier for the posting. - `title`: Title of the event. - `location`: Location where the event is taking place. - `url`: Direct URL to the event listing on Craigslist. - `images`: Array of image URLs associated with the event (if available). - `actor_id`: Identifier for the actor run. - `run_id`: Unique identifier for the specific run. ### Error Handling The Actor handles common errors such as invalid URLs and network issues by logging them in the Apify console. Users are notified through log messages, allowing for quick troubleshooting and resolution. ### Rate Limiting and Best Practices To ensure optimal performance and avoid being blocked: - Respect Craigslist's terms of service. - Use a reasonable `item_limit` to prevent overloading the server. - Monitor logs for any rate-limiting warnings and adjust settings accordingly. ### Limitations and Considerations - The Actor is designed specifically for Craigslist event listings. - Ensure URLs are correctly formatted and valid before running the Actor. - Output may vary based on changes in Craigslist's website structure. ### Support For custom/simplified outputs or bug reports, please contact: - Email: support@getdataforme.com - Subject line: "custom support" - Contact form: [Contact Us](https://getdataforme.com/contact/) We're here to help you get the most out of this Actor! # Actor input Schema ## `Urls` (type: `array`): The urls for the spider. ## `item_limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum items to scrape per actor run.
