## 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`).

## Pararius Rentals Scraper — Netherlands apartments for rent

Scrape **public** Pararius Netherlands rental listings by city name, search URL, or listing URL and return structured rows with **monthly rent (EUR)**, living area (m²), rooms, interior, agent, energy label, and optional detail fields. Built for relocation teams, proptech researchers, and AI agents on Apify (schedules, API, MCP, Residential NL, Unblocker, and Camoufox).

### Best fit

Choose this Actor when you need live Dutch rental inventory from Pararius (EN or NL host) with rent, size, rooms, and agent contact in one dataset. It works well for Amsterdam / Randstad monitoring, MCP agent shortlists, and proptech pipelines that call `apify--pararius-rentals-scraper`.

For UK Rightmove inventory, continue with [Rightmove Scraper](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/rightmove-all-in-one-scraper). For Spain / Italy / Portugal Idealista coverage, use [Idealista Scraper](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/idealista-scraper). For US listing search, pair with [Zillow Search Scraper](https://apify.com/khadinakbar/zillow-search-scraper).

### Amsterdam rent-cap shortlist workflow

A relocation coordinator sets `cities: ["Amsterdam"]`, `minPrice: 1500`, `maxPrice: 2500`, and `maxItems: 10`. The run returns public rows with `rentPrice`, `livingAreaSqm`, `rooms`, `agentName`, and `url`. They export CSV, keep listings under their corporate housing budget, and hand the shortlist to an agent or CRM. A follow-up with a Pararius.nl search URL covers the Dutch-host path under the same Pay per event ceiling.

### Quick start input

```json
{
  "cities": ["Amsterdam"],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "locale": "en",
  "fetchDetails": true
}
```

Set `maxItems` to the number of listings you want billed. Paste Pararius search or detail URLs into `startUrls`, or use `cities` plus optional rent / bedrooms / surface / interior filters.

### What data you receive

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `listingId`, `url`, `title` | Public listing identity |
| `city`, `neighborhood`, `postalCode` | Location |
| `rentPrice`, `currency` | Monthly rent in EUR when published |
| `livingAreaSqm`, `rooms`, `bedrooms`, `interior`, `propertyType` | Size and layout |
| `energyLabel`, `deposit` | Detail fields when enrich is on |
| `agentName`, `agentPhone`, `agentUrl` | Public agent card when shown |
| `latitude`, `longitude`, `description` | Optional map / text enrich |
| `scrapedAt`, `source` | Provenance |

```json
{
  "listingId": "9b9d51c3",
  "url": "https://www.pararius.com/apartment-for-rent/amsterdam/9b9d51c3/anjeliersstraat",
  "title": "For rent: Flat Anjeliersstraat in Amsterdam",
  "city": "Amsterdam",
  "neighborhood": "Jordaan",
  "postalCode": "1015 NL",
  "rentPrice": 3650,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "livingAreaSqm": 85,
  "rooms": 3,
  "bedrooms": 2,
  "interior": "Furnished",
  "energyLabel": "A",
  "agentName": "Hausing",
  "agentPhone": "+31858001441",
  "source": "pararius.com",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-22T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab.

### Pricing

This Actor uses **Pay per event** plus **platform usage** pass-through. Confirm the live prices on the Actor Pricing tab before large runs. The Pricing tab is the current source of truth for Pay per event and platform usage.

| Event | Price (as configured) |
|-------|------------------------|
| `apify-actor-start` | $0.00005 per run |
| `listing-scraped` | $0.004 per validated listing row |

Worked example: five validated Amsterdam listings → about `$0.00005 + 5 × $0.004 = $0.02005` in named events, plus Apify compute/proxy platform usage shown on the run. Empty honest outcomes and invalid inputs are billed only for the start event when the run starts.

### How to scrape Pararius rentals

1. Open the Actor Input tab — the quality sample is Amsterdam with a small `maxItems` cap.
2. Optionally set rent, bedrooms, surface, or interior filters (city mode), or paste a filtered Pararius search URL.
3. Keep `fetchDetails: true` when you need deposit, energy label, phone, or description; set it false for faster search-card rows.
4. Start the Actor, then read rows in Output; check `OUTPUT` / `RUN_SUMMARY` for `COMPLETE`, `PARTIAL`, `VALID_EMPTY`, `INVALID_INPUT`, or `UPSTREAM_FAILED`.

### Architecture

HTTP **Apify Unblocker** is the primary fetch path (got-scraping → Cheerio SSR + JSON-LD). When the HTML still shows a Cloudflare challenge, the Actor falls back to **Camoufox** (Firefox anti-detect) with a content-aware challenge wait. Prefer **Residential NL** in proxy settings; Unblocker clears most challenges on its own.

### API example

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~pararius-rentals-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cities":["Amsterdam"],"maxItems":5,"minPrice":1500,"maxPrice":3000,"fetchDetails":true}'
```

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/pararius-rentals-scraper').call({
  cities: ['Amsterdam'],
  maxItems: 5,
  minPrice: 1500,
  maxPrice: 3000,
  fetchDetails: true,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.length, items[0]?.rentPrice, items[0]?.url);
```

### AI agent / MCP prompt

> Scrape up to 5 Pararius Amsterdam rentals between €1500–€3000 with detail enrich using `khadinakbar/pararius-rentals-scraper`. Read the dataset for rows and `OUTPUT.outcome` for run status. Scope is public listings only; raise `maxItems` or `maxPages` when you need a longer shortlist. Cost is Pay per event `listing-scraped` plus platform usage.

Provenance: each row includes `url`, `source`, and `scrapedAt`. Prefer Residential NL; Unblocker is primary with Camoufox fallback for Cloudflare.

### Best results guidance

Provide a real Dutch city or a complete Pararius search/detail URL, keep `maxItems` focused on the decision you need, and use city filters or a pre-filtered search URL for rent caps. Schedule recurring runs for the same city when you want a current inventory snapshot. Source pages remain public Pararius search and listing HTML; validate unusual rows against the linked `url`.

### Builder's note

I built this Actor after finding that Pararius serves usable SSR HTML and JSON-LD once Cloudflare is cleared. I ranked **HTTP Unblocker** first for speed and cost, then added **Camoufox** only when the challenge page still appeared. City-from-URL parsing keeps search-card rows complete when the location block omits the city string. My goal was a focused Netherlands rental API for agents, not a full proptech CRM.

### Focused standalone workflow

This Actor is designed as a focused standalone workflow for public Pararius Netherlands rental extraction. Pair it with other portfolio real-estate Actors only when your research spans multiple countries.

### Responsible use

Pararius is a trademark of its owner. This independent Actor is not affiliated with, associated with, or endorsed by Pararius.

Use only public listings you are authorized to collect under applicable laws and Pararius site terms. Prefer research, monitoring, and agent tooling over unsolicited bulk outreach or republishing copyrighted photos/descriptions without permission.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste Pararius.com or Pararius.nl rental search or detail URLs. Search examples: https://www.pararius.com/apartments/amsterdam or https://www.pararius.nl/huurwoningen/rotterdam. Detail examples: /apartment-for-rent/... or /appartement-te-huur/.... Pagination is followed automatically up to maxPages. Do not paste non-Pararius URLs.

## `cities` (type: `array`):

Dutch city names used when you do not already have a Pararius search URL. Examples: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Den Haag, Eindhoven. The Actor builds /apartments/{city} (EN) or /huurwoningen/{city} (NL) and applies the filters below. Ignored for URL entries that are already complete searches.

## `locale` (type: `string`):

Which Pararius host to use when building city searches. en → www.pararius.com/apartments, nl → www.pararius.nl/huurwoningen. Explicit Start URLs keep their own host. Default en.

## `propertyType` (type: `string`):

Optional filter applied only to city-built searches. Leave empty for all types. apartment / house / studio / room map to Pararius path segments.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Optional minimum monthly rent for city-built searches. Leave empty for no minimum. Combined with maxPrice into a Pararius price path segment.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Optional maximum monthly rent for city-built searches. Leave empty for no maximum.

## `minBedrooms` (type: `integer`):

Optional minimum bedrooms filter for city-built searches (Pararius N-bedrooms path). Leave empty for any.

## `minSurface` (type: `integer`):

Optional minimum floor area for city-built searches (Pararius Nm2 path). Leave empty for any.

## `interior` (type: `string`):

Optional interior filter for city-built searches: furnished, upholstered, or shell (unfurnished).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on unique billed rental listings returned. Range 1–500; default 20. Stops discovery and detail visits once reached.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Maximum Pararius search result pages to crawl per start URL or city. Range 1–40; default 3. maxItems remains authoritative.

## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

When true (default), visit each listing detail page for description, deposit, energy label, bedrooms, agent phone, and coordinates. When false, return search-card fields only (faster, fewer proxy requests).

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Include the public listing description text when detail pages are fetched. Set false to keep rows smaller. Descriptions may be copyright-protected — do not republish without permission.

## `requestDelayMillis` (type: `integer`):

Polite delay between Pararius requests. Range 500–10000 ms; default 1200. Does not bypass Cloudflare — use proxy groups instead.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Pararius is Cloudflare-protected. Default is Apify UNBLOCKER used with Camoufox. Residential NL is optional; datacenter usually fails.
