## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Malaysia Property Leads & Listings Scraper

Scrape public Malaysian property listings and lead signals from Mudah.my. The MVP is category/API-first: Mudah category URLs are converted to Mudah public search API requests, while public profile/store URLs can still be used for contact enrichment when available.

### What it extracts

- Public Mudah store/profile records
- Public phone numbers and email addresses when present in profile or listing text
- Listing title, URL, ID, price, currency, property type, image, and position
- Store/agent/profile URL fields
- Source status for pages that return bot-protection/challenge pages

### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "urls",
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.mudah.my/malaysia/properties-for-sale" },
    { "url": "https://www.mudah.my/malaysia/properties-for-rent" },
    { "url": "https://www.mudah.my/property/apartment" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "includeListingDetails": false
}
````

Optional generated Mudah search pages:

```json
{
  "mode": "auto",
  "transactionType": "sale",
  "regions": ["kuala-lumpur", "selangor"],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxPagesPerSearch": 1
}
```

### Notes

- Mudah category pages are the default listing source: `/malaysia/properties-for-sale`, `/malaysia/properties-for-rent`, and `/property/apartment`.
- The actor maps those pages to public Mudah search API combinations:
  - sale: apartment/condominium, house, and new project results
  - rent: apartment/condominium and house results
  - apartment: apartment/condominium sale, rent, and new project results
- If several category URLs are supplied, records are saved until `maxItems` is reached. Use a focused URL, such as only `/malaysia/properties-for-rent`, when you want a rent-only dataset.
- Mudah profile pages are useful when you want public contact extraction from a known agent/store profile.
- Some listing detail pages can return a Cloudflare challenge. The actor reports those as `sourceStatus: "blocked_or_unavailable"` instead of trying to bypass the challenge.
- PropertyGuru Malaysia and iProperty Malaysia are not included in the MVP because direct requests currently return anti-bot/challenge pages.

### Output fields

- `recordType`
- `sourceStatus`
- `listingId`
- `profileId`
- `title`
- `url`
- `price`

# Actor input Schema

## `accessMode` (type: `string`):

Choose Full for paid results. Preview is capped at 50 records.

## `sources` (type: `array`):

MVP supports Mudah.my. PropertyGuru and iProperty can be added later as browser-mode sources.

## `transactionType` (type: `string`):

Generate Mudah.my search pages for sale listings, rental listings, or both.

## `regions` (type: `array`):

Used only by Auto mode to generate Mudah category URLs. For most runs, use the specific start URLs field.

## `profileUrls` (type: `array`):

Mudah.my public store/profile URLs. These are the most reliable source for public phone numbers in the MVP.

## `listingUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional Mudah.my property listing URLs. Some listing pages may return a challenge page; blocked pages are reported in the dataset.

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

Optional URLs to scrape instead of or in addition to generated search pages.

## `mode` (type: `string`):

URLs only uses the Mudah category/listing/profile URLs supplied above. Auto generates additional category URLs from region and transaction type.

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

Maximum dataset records to save. Preview mode is capped at 50.

## `maxPagesPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Maximum Mudah result pages to crawl for each generated search URL.

## `includeProfiles` (type: `boolean`):

When profile links are discovered on public pages, enqueue them to collect lead/contact fields.

## `includeListingDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Disabled by default because some Mudah detail pages return a Cloudflare challenge. Enable for small tests.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Keep this conservative for public property portals.

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

Apify proxy configuration.

// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "accessMode": "full",
    "sources": [
        "mudah"

const run = await client.actor("mai_amm/malaysia-property-leads-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
