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 ## Realtor.ca Scraper An [Apify](https://apify.com) actor that scrapes property listings from **Realtor.ca**. ### Features - Search by **city preset** (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Quebec City, Hamilton, Halifax) or a **custom map bounding box**. - Filter by **transaction type** (sale / rent), **property type**, **price range**, **min beds**, and **min baths**. - Configurable **sort order**, **records per page**, **max pages**, and a hard **max items** cap. - Browser TLS/JA3 + HTTP2 fingerprint impersonation via `curl_cffi`, with automatic fingerprint rotation and backoff on `403 / 429 / 503`. - Apify proxy integration (residential recommended). ### Input All fields are optional; sensible defaults are applied. Example: ```json { "searchMode": "city", "city": "toronto", "transactionType": "sale", "propertyType": "any", "priceMin": 500000, "priceMax": 1500000, "bedsMin": 2, "maxPages": 2, "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `searchMode` | `city` | `boundingBox` | `city` | How the search area is defined. | | `city` | enum | `toronto` | Used in `city` mode. | | `latitudeMax/Min`, `longitudeMax/Min` | string | — | Used in `boundingBox` mode (all four required). | | `transactionType` | `sale` | `rent` | `sale` | | | `propertyType` | enum | `any` | residential, condo, multi\_family, vacant\_land, etc. | | `priceMin` / `priceMax` | integer | — | CAD. | | `bedsMin` / `bathsMin` | integer | — | Minimum count. | | `sort` | enum | `6-D` | Price high→low / low→high, date newest / oldest. | | `recordsPerPage` | integer | `50` | Max 200. | | `maxPages` | integer | `3` | Result pages to fetch. | | `maxItems` | integer | `0` | Total cap; `0` = no cap. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify residential | | #### Custom bounding box mode Set `searchMode` to `boundingBox` and supply all four coordinates (north/south latitude, east/west longitude). You can grab these from the realtor.ca map URL for any area you like. ```json { "searchMode": "boundingBox", "latitudeMax": "43.90", "latitudeMin": "43.50", "longitudeMax": "-79.10", "longitudeMin": "-79.70" } ``` ### Output Each dataset item looks like: ```json { "mlsNumber": "X1234567", "address": "123 King St W, Toronto, ON", "latitude": "43.6481", "longitude": "-79.3802", "price": "$1,200,000", "priceUnformatted": "1200000", "transactionType": "For sale", "propertyType": "Single Family", "ownershipType": "Freehold", "bedrooms": "3", "bathrooms": "2", "sizeInterior": "1500 sqft", "stories": "2", "publicRemarks": "...", "parkingType": "Garage", "photoUrl": "https://...jpg", "photoCount": 12, "brokerage": "Example Realty", "agent": "Jane Doe", "postalCode": "M5V", "listingId": "27123456", "url": "https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/27123456/..." } ``` # Actor input Schema ## `city` (type: `string`): City to search. Supported cities: toronto, vancouver, montreal, calgary, ottawa. If set, this overrides the 'City (preset)' dropdown below. ## `query` (type: `string`): City to search, picked from the supported list. Ignored if the 'City' field above is filled in. ## `pages` (type: `integer`): Number of result pages to fetch (50 listings per page). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Realtor.ca is behind Incapsula/Imperva. Residential Apify proxy is strongly recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "city": "toronto", "query": "toronto", "pages": 1, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/realtor-ca-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
