## 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

## OnTheMarket Scraper — UK Properties for Sale & Rent, No Phones

Get property listings from OnTheMarket, one of the UK's big property portals: price and price qualifier, bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, tenure and lease length, address with coordinates, key features, when it was added or reduced, and the agent — and, if you want, the full description, council tax band, EPC rating, floor area, postcode, nearest stations and, for rentals, the available date, furnishing and deposit. For sale, to rent and new homes. Paste your OnTheMarket search links — or just type a town, a district or a postcode.

**Why this one**

- 🔗 **Your search, as you set it up.** Set every filter you like on onthemarket.com and paste the link. Or type a place here — Manchester, Canary Wharf, SW1A, "Newport, Gwent" — and set price, bedrooms, property type, radius, "added within", keywords and sort order below.
- ⚡ **Fast.** A live test run read four searches — London for sale, Bristol 2+ bedrooms to rent up to £2,000, Leeds new homes and Canary Wharf flats up to £600,000 — 2,031 properties in 44 seconds.
- 📋 **Details when you need them.** Tick **Open every listing for its details** for the description, council tax, EPC, floor area, postcode and letting terms. A live run read 1,907 London rentals and Manchester homes for sale with details in 195 seconds; every one came with its description and postcode, 1,194 with an EPC rating and 1,190 with the floor area.
- 📉 **New and reduced.** Every listing says whether it was added or reduced and how recently (`addedOrReduced`, `isReduced`, `isRecentlyAdded`), and flags OnTheMarket's featured, spotlight and exclusive listings.
- 🔒 **No phone numbers.** OnTheMarket shows each branch's phone number with every listing — it is left out; agents are named by their agency and branch only. A phone number or e-mail address written into a feature or description is replaced with `[phone removed]` / `[e-mail removed]`.
- 💸 **You pay only for properties delivered.** A link that is not an OnTheMarket search, or a place OnTheMarket does not know, comes back as a free record with the reason.

### What you get

For every property:

| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| `displayPrice`, `price`, `priceQualifier`, `priceFrequency`, `currency` | the asking price as shown (£239,000, "Offers over"; "£1,750 pcm (£404 pw)"), as a number, and "monthly" for rentals |
| `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `propertyType`, `title` | the property (Flat, Semi-detached house, Bungalow…) |
| `tenure`, `leaseYearsRemaining` | freehold / leasehold / share of freehold, and the years left on a lease when the agent gives them |
| `address`, `latitude`, `longitude` | where it is |
| `keyFeatures` | the agent's bullet points |
| `addedOrReduced`, `label`, `tags` | "Added today", "Reduced < 7 days"; the listing's badge; Greener choice, Pet friendly, Accessible features |
| `isReduced`, `isRecentlyAdded`, `isExclusive`, `isFeatured`, `isSpotlight`, `hasVirtualTour` | listing flags |
| `agent`, `agentBranch`, `agentUrl` | the agency and its branch page (no phone numbers) |
| `image`, `url`, `propertyId` | the listing |
| `input`, `place`, `position`, `channel`, `scrapedAt`, `status`, `error` | which search it came from, and why a search gave nothing |

With **Open every listing for its details** also: `description`, `councilTax`, `epcRating`, `size`, `sizeSqFt`, `sizeSqM`, `postcode`, `heating`, `broadband`, `nearestStations`, `availableFrom`, `furnishing`, `deposit`, `lettingDetails`, `isNewHome`, `isDevelopment`, `isStudent`, `listingStatus`, `pageViews`, `imageCount`, `floorplanCount`, `virtualTourCount`, `brochureCount` — and the full `keyFeatures` list.

### How to use it

1. Paste **Search links** from onthemarket.com (for sale, to rent or new homes), one per line — or type **Places** and choose **For sale or to rent** and the optional filters.
2. Set **Max listings per search**, and tick **Open every listing for its details** if you need the description, council tax, EPC and letting terms.
3. Press **Start**, and download the results from the **Output** tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

To follow new listings and price cuts in an area, save your input as a task with **Added within** set to the last 24 hours and schedule it daily.

You can also call it from the Apify API, from Make, Zapier or n8n, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

### Pricing

You are charged **per property delivered** — see the price on this page. Opening listings for their details costs nothing extra, only time. Links that are not OnTheMarket searches and places OnTheMarket does not know are free.

### FAQ

**How many properties per search?** OnTheMarket shows 34 pages of 30 for one search, so about 1,000: live runs got 944 to 963 different properties from London and Manchester searches (London alone has over 34,000 homes to rent). For more, split the search by price band, bedrooms, property type or smaller areas.

**Under offer and let agreed?** Left out by default, as on OnTheMarket. Tick **Include under offer / let agreed** to get them too.

**A place with a common name?** Add the county after a comma — "Newport, Gwent". The `place` field says which place was searched. When a name is not found, the free record suggests the places OnTheMarket knows by a similar name.

**Private sellers?** OnTheMarket lists properties from estate agents, letting agents and developers only.

**Why no agent phone numbers?** Every listing has its `url`; buyers and tenants contact the agent on OnTheMarket.

**Commercial property?** Not included — this reads OnTheMarket's residential sections: for sale, to rent and new homes.

**Is this affiliated with OnTheMarket?** No. This is an independent tool that reads public OnTheMarket listings.
