## 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

## Spitogatos.gr Scraper — Greek Real Estate Property Listings

Extract real estate property listings from Spitogatos.gr, Greece's largest property portal. Get residential and commercial listings for sale and rent — price, area, rooms, location, agency details, images, and GPS coordinates.

### Why This Scraper?

Spitogatos is Greece's #1 real estate marketplace, used by all major agencies and private sellers. However, the site uses enterprise-grade anti-bot protection (Distil/Imperva on AWS CloudFront) that blocks all non-browser HTTP requests — including curl, got-scraping, and even curl_cffi's TLS emulation.

This scraper uses a real Chromium browser via Playwright to pass the anti-bot check, then calls Spitogatos' internal REST API from within the browser context. This hybrid approach delivers fast, structured JSON data without HTML parsing — all while maintaining a natural browser fingerprint.

### What Data Does It Extract?

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `id` | Spitogatos property ID |
| `category` | Property type (house, apartment, maisonette, etc.) |
| `listingType` | Sale or rent |
| `price` | Price in Euros (€) |
| `sqMeters` | Living area in m² |
| `rooms` | Number of rooms |
| `bathrooms` | Number of bathrooms |
| `floorNumber` | Floor number |
| `geography` | Area/neighborhood name |
| `latitude` / `longitude` | GPS coordinates |
| `mainImageURL` | Main property image |
| `imageCount` | Number of listing images |
| `hasVTour` | Virtual tour availability |
| `newDevelopment` | New development flag |
| `agencyName` | Real estate agency name |
| `agentProfilePath` | Agent profile URL |
| `url` | Property listing URL |
| `searchArea` | Area ID searched |
| `scrapedAt` | Extraction timestamp |

### Use Cases

#### Real Estate Market Research
Monitor property prices, availability, and trends across Greek cities and neighborhoods. Track price per m² by area, property type, and listing age.

#### Investment Analysis
Identify undervalued areas, track new developments, and compare rental yields across Athens, Thessaloniki, and regional markets.

#### Agency & Competitor Monitoring
Track which agencies are active in which areas. Monitor new listings, price changes, and market share by agency.

#### Lead Generation
Build lists of properties matching specific criteria (price range, area, type). Identify motivated sellers through listing age and price reductions.

### Input Parameters

    "price": 175659,
    "sqMeters": 42,

    "floorNumber": 9,
    "geography": "Stathmos Larisis (Kolonos - Kolokynthous)",

### Performance

| Metric | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Speed | ~500ms per API page (30 properties) |
| 300 results | ~5-8 seconds |
| Memory | ~300-500 MB (Chromium) |
| Proxy | Not required |

### Limitations

- **Browser required** — Playwright Chromium needed for anti-bot bypass
- **API rate limits** — 500ms delay between pages to be respectful
- **Area IDs** — Must know the numeric area IDs. Use the autocomplete API or browse spitogatos.gr to discover IDs
- **Greek market only** — Properties in Greece only. Site is in Greek/English.

### Tips

- **Find area IDs** — Search on spitogatos.gr and check the URL or use `POST /n_api/v1/geographies/autocomplete`
- **Start small** — Begin with 1 area, 1 type, 30 results
- **Multiple areas** — Add multiple areaIDs to scrape multiple neighborhoods in one run
- **Rent + Sale** — Add both 'sale' and 'rent' to listingTypes for full coverage
- **Monitor prices** — Schedule daily/weekly runs to track price changes

### Legal & Responsible Use

This scraper extracts publicly available property listings from Spitogatos.gr. Use in compliance with Spitogatos' Terms of Service and applicable Greek/EU law. This tool is for legitimate real estate market research and analysis purposes only.
