## 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

## LoopNet Commercial Real Estate Scraper — CRE Listings, Cap Rates & Broker Leads

A high-performance, cost-effective Apify Actor to extract commercial real estate (CRE) property listings, cap rates, building specifications, and direct broker contact leads from **LoopNet**.

Engineered with a **pure HTTP-first architecture**, smart anti-bot circumvention, and flexible Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing, this scraper enables real estate investors, brokers, and analysts to bypass LoopNet's 500-result cap and ingest institutional-grade data at scale.

***

### 🌟 Key Features & Advantages

- 🏢 **Complete Commercial Coverage**: Extract office, industrial, retail, multifamily, land, hospitality, and flex listings across all US markets.
- 🚀 **Fast-Path HTTP Architecture**: Powered by Crawlee and `got-scraping` with Chrome TLS fingerprinting for ultra-fast, lightweight crawls without the overhead of heavy browser automation.
- 🔓 **Bypass 500-Listing Search Caps**: Seamlessly traverses submarkets and price brackets to pull deep listing inventory beyond standard platform limits.
- 📞 **Direct Broker Contact Leads**: Unmask listing agents, brokerages, direct phone numbers, and license metadata.
- 📊 **Financial & Property Metrics**: Capture asking prices, rent rates, cap rates, gross square footage, lot acreage, zoning, and year built.
- 💰 **Authentic Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Monetization**: Pay only for what you scrape—no wasteful subscription tiers or surprise charges.

***

### 💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

This actor operates on a pay-as-you-go **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing model. You only pay for what you extract:

| Event Name | Purpose | Price (USD) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| **`apify-default-dataset-item`** | result | `$0.0015` | Single result in the default dataset. |
| **`apify-actor-start`** | Actor Start | `$0.007` | Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). |
| **`additional-data`** | Additional cost for monitoring mode | `$0.001` | Charged for each item result check |
| **`property-detail`** | Full property detail page | `$0.05` | Full property detail sheet fetched via the website service (only when no App Check token is present; covers the per-page unblocker cost). |
| **`agent-record`** | Premium agent record | `$0.0035` | One unmasked broker record from the instant database - name, phone, email and company. Charged per delivered agent, on top of the result event. Free-user previews are masked and never charged. |

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
