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.

The scraper works with whatever filters you apply on the site. **Does it scrape individual listing detail pages?** No — it extracts data from search result pages only. Each listing includes a direct URL you can use to visit the full detail page. **Why does Idealista block requests?** Idealista has aggressive anti-scraping measures. The actor uses stealth browser settings and residential proxies to work around this, but some requests may still fail. Running with a lower `maxListings` value and from Spanish IPs gives the best results. **Does it work with Idealista Italy and Portugal?** Yes. Use the appropriate domain: idealista.it for Italy, idealista.pt for Portugal. The scraper extracts the same fields regardless of the country. ### ❓ Extended FAQ #### How much does it cost to scrape Idealista? Pay-per-result on Apify (no monthly subscription). At $1.00 per 1,000 listings, scraping 100 properties costs ~$0.10. Apify Free plan includes $5 credit (~5,000 listings to start). #### Is Idealista scraping legal in Spain? Idealista listings are public data. Scraping for personal market research, lead generation, or analytics is generally legal under EU GDPR when the data is non-personal. Always respect Idealista's Terms of Service and don't republish copyrighted content. #### Can I get historical Idealista price data? The scraper returns current listings only. To track price history, schedule the scraper to run daily or weekly (Apify supports cron schedules) and store results. #### Which Idealista markets are supported? Idealista España (.com), Italia (.it), and Portugal (.pt) — all three countries Idealista operates in. Pass URLs from any domain. #### Can I filter by price range, rooms, or property type? Yes — apply the filters directly on idealista.com / .it / .pt before copying the URL. The scraper respects all filter parameters in the URL. #### What's the difference vs other Idealista scrapers? HTTP + light browser fallback (no full Puppeteer overhead). 5-10× cheaper compute than browser-only competitors. Built-in residential proxy + retries to handle Idealista's anti-bot measures. ### 🔗 Other scrapers by makework36 - [VRBO Scraper](https://apify.com/makework36/vrbo-scraper) — vacation rentals + Expedia hotels - [Trustpilot Scraper API](https://apify.com/makework36/trustpilot-reviews-scraper) — reviews & business search - [Fast Airbnb Price Scraper](https://apify.com/makework36/fast-airbnb-price-scraper) — Airbnb listings + prices - [Flight Price Scraper 2026](https://apify.com/makework36/flight-price-scraper) — compare flights across 7 sources # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Idealista search result URLs ## `maxListings` (type: `integer`): Maximum listings to scrape ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.idealista.com/en/venta-viviendas/madrid/" ], "maxListings": 50 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
