## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## Bien'ici Scraper – French Real Estate Listings

Find apartments, houses, new-build properties, and other French real estate listings on Bien'ici and save them to an Apify dataset. Use the results for market research, investment sourcing, lead generation, competitor monitoring, and property discovery.

### 🔎 Search properties

Choose a location and search purpose, then narrow the results with price, surface area, rooms, property categories, keywords, and sorting. The default location is Paris, so a new actor run is ready to return listings without additional setup.

### 💡 Why use Bien'ici Scraper?

- 📈 **Track French property prices** — compare asking prices, surface areas, and price per square metre across cities and neighbourhoods.
- 🏠 **Source investment opportunities** — find apartments, houses, land, parking, and commercial properties that match a budget and property profile.
- 🎯 **Build real estate leads** — collect listing links, photos, advertiser details, and available contact information for research or outreach.
- 🔎 **Monitor market changes** — repeat filtered searches to identify new, sold, preview, or price-ranked listings.
- 📊 **Create property reports** — export structured listings for market studies, acquisition pipelines, and competitor analysis.

### 💡 Tips and common recipes

- Start with `location` and `operation`, then add one filter at a time to understand the available inventory.
- Use `minPrice` and `maxPrice` together for a defined budget.
- Combine `minSurface` with `minRooms` to find family-sized properties.
- Set `maxItems` to a smaller value while testing a search, then increase it for a full collection. Requests use the largest supported page size automatically.
- Use `latitude`, `longitude`, and `distanceKm` to search around an exact point instead of a named location.

### ⚖️ Legal and ethical use

Use this actor only where you have a lawful basis to collect and use the data. Respect Bien'ici's terms, applicable privacy and data-protection laws, and any limits or permissions associated with your account and intended use. Do not use contact information for unsolicited messaging, harassment, discrimination, or other harmful activity.

### ❓ FAQ

#### Which locations are supported?

Use French cities, postcodes, departments, or other location names understood by Bien'ici. `Paris` is the default example and starting location.

#### Can I search for both sales and rentals?

Yes. Set `operation` to `buy` for-sale listings, `rent` for rentals, or `new` for new construction.

#### Can I search around coordinates?

Yes. Provide `latitude`, `longitude`, and optionally `distanceKm`. Coordinates take precedence over `location`; the default radius is 20 km.

#### How can I control run size?

Use `maxItems` to cap the number of saved listings. Requests use the largest supported page size automatically.
