## 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`).

# README

## Idealista Scraper — Spain, Italy & Portugal Real Estate 🏠

Scrape **property listings from [Idealista](https://www.idealista.com)** — the #1 real-estate portal in **Spain, Italy and Portugal** — for both **sale and rent**. For every listing you get **price, price per m², rooms, size, floor, location, advertiser type and description**. Paste any Idealista search URL and the scraper paginates automatically.

No login, no API key, no browser extension. Export to **JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML** or pull from the API.

> **Residential proxy required.** Idealista is protected by DataDome; this actor passes it using a residential proxy (defaults to Apify Residential, Spain).

***

### What you get

For every property listing:

- **Price** + currency + **price per m²** (computed)
- **Deal type** — sale or rent
- **Rooms**, **size (m²)**, **floor**
- **Title & location**, **description**
- **Advertiser type** — professional (agency) vs private
- **Listing URL** and **thumbnail**

### Use cases

- **Property price & yield analysis** — compare €/m² across cities and neighborhoods; track sale vs rent.
- **Real-estate market intelligence** — monitor supply, prices and sizes across Spain/Italy/Portugal.
- **Agency lead generation** — collect professional advertisers active in a market.
- **Investment & relocation research** — shortlist by price, size, rooms and location.
- **Market datasets** — build Iberian/Italian property datasets over time.

***

### How it works

Idealista serves plain server-rendered HTML; the actor fetches each search page over HTTP through a residential proxy (which passes DataDome), parses the listing cards, and pages through `.../pagina-N.htm` — de-duplicating as it goes.

***

### FAQ

**Why residential proxy?** Idealista uses DataDome bot protection; datacenter IPs are blocked. Residential IPs pass. The actor retries automatically if a request is challenged.

**Sale and rent?** Both — `dealType` marks each listing.

**Which countries?** Spain (`.com`/`.es`), Italy (`.it`), Portugal (`.pt`). Match the proxy country to the domain for best results.

**How fresh is the data?** Scraped live on each run.

***

### Legal & ethical use

This actor collects **publicly available** listing data from Idealista. Listings may contain personal data — use the output responsibly and in line with Idealista's Terms and applicable Spanish/EU law. You are responsible for how you use the data.

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).
