## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Zameen.com Property Listings Scraper

Extract structured, publicly visible property listings from Zameen.com search pages and individual `/Property/` pages. Use it for Pakistan real-estate research, inventory monitoring, lead generation, and market intelligence.

Each dataset record includes the listing ID, title, sale/rent purpose, PKR price, displayed location, bedrooms, bathrooms, original area and unit, square-foot conversion where supported, image, public description, features, agent/agency name when visible, source URL, and extraction timestamp.

### Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.zameen.com/Homes/Lahore-1-1.html" }],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "includeDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

Use absolute public Zameen URLs. Search pages use Zameen’s own `rel="next"` pagination. Detail enrichment costs additional requests, so disable `includeDetails` for a cheaper search-card crawl.

### Pricing and limits

Pay per event: $0.00005 per run start plus $0.005 per unique listing successfully written. A 10-listing prefilled run costs up to $0.05005 in event charges at 1 GB, excluding any platform or proxy usage that may apply. Runs are bounded to 500 records and 20 pages per start URL.

### Reliability and compliance

The Actor uses a conservative browser session, deduplication, bounded retries, and optional Apify Proxy configuration. CAPTCHA, access-denied, rate-limit, or other challenge pages are reported in `OUTPUT` as `BLOCKED` when no records can truthfully be returned; no fabricated records are emitted. It does not log in, bypass access controls, or collect private contact data. Use only public data in accordance with Zameen’s terms and applicable law.

### Use cases

- Compare listings, locations, availability, and market signals for property research.
- Build public prospect lists and qualify organizations or professionals before responsible outreach.
- Run a one-off research job and export the structured result as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS from Apify.
- Schedule the same input to monitor changes over time and send completed datasets to a webhook or integration.
- Feed schema-shaped records into a database, spreadsheet, BI tool, or AI workflow with the source URL retained for verification.

### Output example

```json
{
  "listingId": "54462059",
  "title": "5 Marla House For Sale",
  "purpose": "sale",
  "propertyType": "House",
  "pricePkr": 16500000,
  "priceDisplay": "PKR 1.65 Crore",
  "location": "DHA Defence, Lahore",
  "bedrooms": 4,
  "bathrooms": 5,
  "area": 5,
  "areaUnit": "marla",
  "areaSqft": 1361.25
}
```

The exact fields depend on the selected input and what the public source exposes. Use the dataset schema as the machine-readable contract and retain source URLs for verification.

# Actor input Schema

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

Use this for public Zameen.com search or property URLs. Example: https://www.zameen.com/Homes/Lahore-1-1.html.

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

Use this to cap unique property records returned across all URLs. Default 10 keeps the prefilled run fast; maximum 500.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Use this to limit pagination from each search URL. Default 1 keeps the prefilled run within Apify's five-minute quality test; maximum 20.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Enable this only when you need detail-page descriptions, features, images, or agent fields. It adds one browser request per listing and is disabled by default for fast, reliable search-card extraction.

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

Use an owner-authorized Apify Proxy configuration when Zameen rate-limits or challenges direct requests. No credentials are logged.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call muhammadafzal/zameen-com-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,muhammadafzal/zameen-com-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
