## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## SUUMO Scraper — Japan Rental Listings with Agent Contacts

Scrape rental property listings from **SUUMO** (suumo.jp), Japan's largest real-estate portal, and get
the **listing agency's contact details** along with every room: company name, phone number, opening
hours and real-estate licence number.

Point it at any SUUMO search-results URL — set your filters on the site, paste the URL, run.
Pagination is followed automatically.

### What you get

One item per **room** (a building usually holds several rooms, each with its own rent and layout).

| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `buildingName` | アイメックス北参道 | Building name as shown on SUUMO |
| `category` | 賃貸マンション | Rental apartment / mansion / house |
| `address` | 東京都渋谷区千駄ヶ谷３ | Ward-level address from the listing |
| `stations[]` | line, station, walkMinutes | Up to 3 nearest stations, walk time parsed to an integer |
| `buildingAge` / `buildingAgeText` | 0 / 新築 | Years since construction; 0 for newly built |
| `structure`, `floorsTotal` | 地下1地上4階建, 4 | |
| `floor` | 3階 | Floor of this room |
| `rentYen` | 177000 | Parsed to yen — `17.7万円` becomes `177000` |
| `adminFeeYen`, `depositYen`, `gratuityYen` | 15000, null, null | `null` when the listing shows `-` |
| `layout` | 1LDK | |
| `areaSqm` | 26.26 | Square metres as a number |
| `url` | https://suumo.jp/chintai/jnc\_000109871755/ | Room page |
| `agentName` | グランデ新宿店 (株)グランデ | Listing agency (with `fetchAgentContacts`) |
| `agentPhone` | 03-5338-5960 | Agency phone number |
| `agentHours` | 10：00～19：00／定休日：年中無休 | |
| `agentLicense` | 国土交通大臣（１）第１１０９３号 … | Real-estate licence number |
| `direction`, `buildingType`, `constructionType`, `builtYearMonth` | 北東, マンション, 鉄筋コン, 2026年9月 | From the room page |

### What you do not get

- No sale listings — this Actor covers rentals (`/chintai/`) only.
- No floor plans, photos or map coordinates.
- No data behind a login, and no personal data: `agentPhone` is the agency's published business number,
  not a private one.
- Fields shown as `-` on SUUMO come back as `null`. That is the listing, not a scraping failure.

### Measured performance

Measured on 2026-09-23 against 東京都渋谷区 rentals, from a single machine with no proxy:

- One results page returned **75 rooms** parsed in **3.2 s**.
- With `fetchAgentContacts` enabled: **10 rooms in 23.3 s** — about **2.3 s per room**, which includes
  the built-in 1 s politeness delay.
- Field coverage over those 10 rooms: rent, layout, area, licence, direction **10/10**;
  agency name **10/10**; agency phone **9/10**.

Without `fetchAgentContacts` the Actor only loads results pages, so roughly 75 rooms per request.

### Input examples

Default (no input needed — just press Start):

```json
{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://suumo.jp/chintai/tokyo/sc_shibuya/" }] }
```

Several wards, listings only, no agency lookup:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://suumo.jp/chintai/tokyo/sc_shinjuku/" },
    { "url": "https://suumo.jp/chintai/tokyo/sc_minato/" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 2000,
  "fetchAgentContacts": false
}
```

Agency prospecting — fewer rooms, every contact:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://suumo.jp/chintai/tokyo/sc_shibuya/" }],
  "maxItems": 300,
  "fetchAgentContacts": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

```

### How to chain it

- Feed the dataset into a spreadsheet or BI tool through the Apify API or a webhook.
- Run it on a schedule and diff `url` between runs to watch new listings and price changes in one ward.
- Pair it with Google Search Scraper when you want to start from company names rather than SUUMO URLs.

### Notes on fair use

This Actor reads only pages that are publicly visible without logging in, keeps at least one second
between requests, and stops instead of retrying when the site answers with HTTP 403 or 429. It reads
`robots.txt` on start-up and skips paths that are disallowed. Check SUUMO's terms of service before
using the data commercially, and follow any request from the site owner to stop.

# Actor input Schema

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

Search-result pages from suumo.jp (rental listings). Open SUUMO, set your filters (area, rent, layout), then paste the URL of the results page. Pagination is followed automatically.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many rooms. One building usually holds several rooms and each room is one item.

## `fetchAgentContacts` (type: `boolean`):

Open each room page to also get the listing agency: company name, phone number, opening hours and real-estate licence number. Adds about 1.5 seconds per room.

## `requestDelaySeconds` (type: `integer`):

Seconds to wait between requests. Values below 1 are raised to 1 — this scraper is deliberately polite.

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

Apify Proxy is recommended for larger runs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://suumo.jp/chintai/tokyo/sc_shibuya/"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "fetchAgentContacts": true,
  "requestDelaySeconds": 1,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

## MCP server setup

```json

    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

        }
    }
}
```

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).
