## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Realtor Lead Finder — Instagram

Find **real, active real estate agents and brokers** on Instagram from any hashtag set. We do the boring work — hashtag scrape, quality filter, profile enrichment, deduplication, and email extraction — and hand you a clean lead list ready to drop into your CRM.

### What you get back

Each row is one realtor, with these fields:

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `username` | `michellerealtyone` |
| `full_name` | `Michelle Sanchez` |
| `followers` | `12450` |
| `following` | `983` |
| `posts` | `412` |
| `biography` | `Top 1% Realtor at @kw_signature. DM me to buy or sell 🏡` |
| `email` | `michelle@kwsignature.com` *(extracted from bio if present)* |
| `external_url` | `https://kwsignature.com/michelle` |
| `is_business` | `true` |
| `business_category` | `Real Estate Agent` |
| `verified` | `false` |
| `engagement_pct` | `4.32` *(top-post likes / followers)* |
| `found_via_hashtag` | `realestateagent` |
| `profile_url` | `https://www.instagram.com/michellerealtyone/` |
| `profile_pic` | `https://…` |

### What we **don't** return (already filtered out)

- Coaches, mentors, consultants
- Marketing agencies, podcasters, influencers (unless real estate is their actual job)
- Loan officers, mortgage brokers, title companies, attorneys, accountants
- Home stagers, decorators, contractors, photographers
- Generic spam (`buy_now`, `freegift`, etc.)
- Usernames longer than 30 chars (typically businesses, not individuals)

You get **real estate agents only** — the people who actually list, sell, and rep buyers.

### Inputs

```json
{
  "hashtags": [
    "realestateagent",
    "realtorlife",
    "realtorsofinstagram"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "minFollowers": 500,
  "requireEmailInBio": false,
  "engagementMinPct": 0
}
````

| Input | Description |
|---|---|
| `hashtags` | List of Instagram hashtags to source from (no `#`) |
| `maxResults` | Hard cap on returned leads (after filtering) |
| `minFollowers` | Drop accounts under this follower count |
| `requireEmailInBio` | Strict: only return leads whose bio has an email address |
| `engagementMinPct` | Drop accounts below this engagement % (top-post-likes ÷ followers) |

### Use cases

- **Cold DM / cold email outreach** — Instantly, Apollo, lemlist, GoHighLevel
- **Recruiting** for brokerages
- **AI lead enrichment** before adding to CRM
- **Market intelligence** — who's posting where, growing fastest

### How we compare

The generic Apify Instagram scrapers return everyone who used a hashtag — coaches, brands, randoms. You then spend hours cleaning the CSV. This actor is the cleaning, baked in.

### Pricing

Pay-per-result. See the Pricing tab for current rate.

## `requireEmailInBio` (type: `boolean`):

Strict filter: only include accounts whose bio contains an email address.

## `engagementMinPct` (type: `number`):

Skip accounts whose avg-likes/follower ratio is below this %. Set to 0 to disable.
