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 ## Zameen.com Real Estate Scraper — Apify Actor Scrapes property listings from **Zameen.com**, Pakistan's largest real estate portal. Extracts price (with proper crore/lakh conversion), location, bedrooms, bathrooms, area, property type, and full listing URLs. ### What it does - Converts `"PKR 3.70 Crore"` → `37,000,000` automatically - Falls back to slug-based extraction for `listing_id`, `property_type`, `area` - Deduplicates by `listing_id` - Streams results to the dataset as they're found - Supports Apify Proxy (recommended for production runs) ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `city` | enum | `lahore` | City to scrape. 11 options: Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Quetta, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Hyderabad | | `purpose` | enum | `for_sale` | `for_sale` or `for_rent` | | `max_pages` | integer | `3` | Pages to scrape (~25 listings each) | | `start_page` | integer | `1` | Page number to start from | | `max_listings` | integer | `0` | Hard cap on listings (0 = unlimited) | | `property_type_filter` | string[] | `[]` | Keep only listings matching these types (e.g. `["house", "apartment"]`) | | `include_raw` | boolean | `false` | Include the full raw Zameen JSON per record | | `request_delay_seconds` | integer | `2` | Delay between paginated requests | | `proxy_configuration` | proxy | Apify Proxy on | Standard Apify proxy editor | ### Output (per dataset record) ```json { "listing_id": "53674259", "title": "Lahore Bankers Avenue Cooperative Housing Society 10 Marla New Luxury House For Sale", "price_pkr": 37000000, "price_text": "PKR 3.70 Crore", "currency": "PKR", "location": "Bankers Avenue Cooperative Housing Society > Lahore", "city": "Lahore", "country": "Pakistan", "bedrooms": 5, "bathrooms": 5, "area": 10, "area_unit": "marla", "property_type": "House", "purpose": "for-sale", "url": "https://www.zameen.com/Property/lahore_bankers_avenue_...html", "image_url": "https://images.zameen.com/...jpg", "scraped_at": "2026-05-13T07:00:00+00:00" } ```` # Actor input Schema ## `city` (type: `string`): City whose listings should be scraped ## `purpose` (type: `string`): Listings for sale or for rent ## `max_pages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of result pages to scrape (~25 listings each) ## `start_page` (type: `integer`): Page number to start scraping from (1-indexed) ## `max_listings` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on total listings (0 = no cap) ## `property_type_filter` (type: `array`): Only keep listings whose type matches one of these (case-insensitive substring match on slug). Leave empty for all. ## `include_raw` (type: `boolean`): Include the raw Zameen object in each record (large) ## `request_delay_seconds` (type: `integer`): How long to pause between paginated requests ## `proxy_configuration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. RECOMMENDED: enable 'Apify Proxy' AND select group 'RESIDENTIAL' with country 'PK' — Zameen blocks datacenter IPs. If you turn Apify Proxy on without choosing a group, this actor auto-upgrades you to RESIDENTIAL+PK. ## Actor input object example ```json { "city": "lahore", "purpose": "for_sale", "max_pages": 3, "start_page": 1, "max_listings": 0, "property_type_filter": [ "house", "apartment", "plot" ], "include_raw": false, "request_delay_seconds": 2, "proxy_configuration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # 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/zameen-com-real-estate-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 📖?
