## Pricing

from $5.00 / 1,000 real estate listings

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## 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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## Real Estate AU & NZ Search by URLs and Keywords

Search public residential property listings on **realestate.com.au** and **realestate.co.nz** using saved search URLs or place/suburb keywords. The Actor returns one stable JSON row per listing and supports light pagination, listing detail URLs, sale/rent intent, and concise or detailed output.

### Input

```json
{
  "country": "au",
  "searchQueries": ["Sydney NSW", "Melbourne VIC"],
  "listingType": "sale",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "maxPagesPerSource": 3,
  "responseFormat": "detailed"
}
````

Use `startUrls` when you already have URLs, for example `https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-sydney/list-1` or `https://www.realestate.co.nz/residential/sale/auckland`. The actor also accepts individual public listing URLs.

### Output

Rows include `source`, `listingUrl`, `address`, `price`, `priceText`, `currency`, `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `parkingSpaces`, `landSize`, `propertyType`, `description`, `agentName`, `agentPhone`, `agencyName`, `imageUrls`, coordinates when published, `scrapedKeywords`, and `warnings`.

The actor reads public page content only. It does not return owner identities, private MLS fields, login-only data, or bypass authentication. Site markup can change; rows preserve warnings and nulls when a public field is unavailable.

### Billing

PPE is configured at $0.005 per listing returned plus the Actor-start event. Enable Apify Pay-Per-Usage alongside PPE for heavy runs. A typical 50-result run costs about $0.25 in result events before platform compute/proxy usage.

### MCP-friendly behavior

Use this tool for Australian or New Zealand listing discovery by public search URL or place keyword. Do not use it for agent-only lookup, owner data, private MLS data, or arbitrary web search. Results are flat, stable, and capped by `maxResults` so an AI agent can budget a call.

# Actor input Schema

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

Use this when you already have a realestate.com.au or realestate.co.nz search/listing URL. Example: https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-sydney/list-1. URLs are scraped as public pages; use searchQueries for keyword discovery.

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Use this when you want the Actor to build a public property search URL from a place or suburb keyword. Example: Sydney NSW or Auckland. These are not arbitrary Google queries; they target residential listing searches.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Use this to choose the keyword-search website. Use au for realestate.com.au or nz for realestate.co.nz. Defaults to au; explicit URLs are detected by domain.

## `listingType` (type: `string`):

Use this to select the intent for keyword-generated URLs. sale returns properties for sale; rent returns rental searches; sold is accepted where the website supports it.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Use this to cap billable dataset rows across all sources. Must be 1–1000; defaults to 25. This is not a page count.

## `maxPagesPerSource` (type: `integer`):

Use this to control pagination for each search URL. Defaults to 3 and is capped at 50. Detail URLs do not paginate.

## `responseFormat` (type: `string`):

Use concise for smaller agent-friendly rows or detailed for longer descriptions and more images. Defaults to detailed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [],
  "country": "au",
  "listingType": "sale",
  "maxResults": 25,
  "maxPagesPerSource": 3,
  "responseFormat": "detailed"
}
```

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("muhammadafzal/realestate-au-nz-search").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);
});
