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. 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). # README ## Africa Property24 Scraper Scrapes residential property listings from Property24 South Africa (`property24.com`) and Property24 Kenya (`property24.co.ke`) — Africa's largest property portals. ### What It Does Crawls province and city listing pages, then fetches each individual listing to extract: - **Listing details** — price, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, garages, floor area, erf/plot size - **Location** — suburb, city, province, country - **Agent info** — agent name, agency name, EAAB registration number (South Africa) - **Listing metadata** — publication date, images, URL ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Maximum number of listings to scrape. 0 = unlimited | | `country` | string | `ZA` | Country: `ZA` (South Africa) or `KE` (Kenya) | | `listingType` | string | `sale` | Listing type: `sale` or `rent` | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential | Proxy configuration. Residential proxies required for reliable access | ### Output Each record contains: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `listing_id` | Unique listing identifier (e.g., `P24-117069578`) | | `country` | ISO country code (`ZA` or `KE`) | | `platform` | Source platform (`property24_za` or `property24_ke`) | | `listing_type` | `sale` or `rent` | | `property_type` | Property type (House, Apartment, Townhouse, etc.) | | `title` | Listing title | | `price` | Numeric price in local currency | | `currency` | Currency code (`ZAR` or `KES`) | | `area_sqm` | Floor area in square metres | | `erf_size` | Plot/erf size in square metres | | `bedrooms` | Number of bedrooms | | `bathrooms` | Number of bathrooms | | `garages` | Number of garages/parking spaces | | `suburb` | Suburb or neighbourhood | | `city` | City or town | | `province` | Province or region | | `amenities` | Comma-separated amenities and features | | `agent_name` | Listing agent full name | | `agent_registration` | EAAB registration number (South Africa) | | `agency_name` | Real estate agency name | | `images` | Pipe-separated list of image URLs | | `listed_at` | Listing publication date | | `url` | URL to the listing detail page | ### Example Use Cases - **Diaspora property research** — South Africans and Kenyans abroad tracking home prices - **Real estate investment analysis** — Market pricing across provinces and suburbs - **Agent lead generation** — Estate agent contact details and listings data - **Market research** — Tracking listing volumes and price trends ### Coverage - **South Africa** — All 9 provinces (Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, and more) - **Kenya** — Nairobi and nationwide listings ### Notes - Agent phone numbers and email addresses are not available in static HTML — they require a separate API call that is not included in this actor - The actor uses residential proxies to ensure reliable access to Property24's detail pages - EAAB registration numbers are extracted from agent job titles when available # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of property listings to scrape (0 = unlimited) ## `country` (type: `string`): Country to scrape: ZA (South Africa, property24.com) or KE (Kenya, property24.co.ke) ## `listingType` (type: `string`): Type of listing to scrape: sale or rent ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy configuration. Residential proxies recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...", "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...", "sp_contact": "Share your email here...", "maxItems": 10, "country": "ZA", "listingType": "sale", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
