## 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`).

## 🏠 Rightmove Scraper

Extract property listings from **Rightmove**, the UK's biggest property portal: homes **for sale**, **to rent** and **new builds** in any town, area, county, postcode or station, or from any Rightmove link. Each listing comes with price, **price per sq ft**, price reductions, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, tenure, address, GPS, key features, photos and the **estate agent with phone number**. Turn on **Full details** for the postcode, full description, **council tax band, service charge, ground rent, lease years left**, deposit, nearest stations, floorplans, brochures, EPC, parking, garden, heating, utilities and flood risk.

### 🎯 Who uses it?

#### 🏘️ Property investors and sourcers

Pull every listing in your target areas with price per sq ft, reductions and lease details, and spot the deals before anyone else.

#### 📞 Lead generation and proptech sales

Get every estate agent branch active in an area with their phone number, address and listings.

#### 📊 Analysts, valuers and researchers

Track asking prices, rents, time on market and reductions across towns and postcodes over time.

#### 🔔 Buyers, renters and relocation agents

Schedule a search and receive only the listings added since the last run.

### ✨ What it does

- **Any place by name.** A town ("Manchester"), an area ("Clapham"), a county ("Cornwall"), a postcode ("SW1A 1AA"), a postcode district ("NW8") or a station ("Kings Cross Station"). Several in one run.
- **Any link.** Paste Rightmove search pages with all their filters, or single property pages.
- **Sale, rent or new homes**, with a search radius from 1/4 mile to 40 miles.
- **Every Rightmove filter:** price, bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, tenure, must have (garden, parking, new home, retirement, shared ownership, auction, student, house share), don't show, furnishing, added in the last 24 hours / 3 / 7 / 14 days, include under offer and sold STC, sort order.
- **Extra filters Rightmove doesn't have:** keywords ("garage", "chain free"), min and max size in sq ft, price reduced only.
- **New listings only.** For scheduled runs: saves only what was added since the last run of the same search.
- **Full details (optional):** postcode, description, council tax band, service charge, ground rent, lease years left, shared ownership, deposit, minimum term, furnishing, nearest stations with distances, rooms, floorplans, brochures, EPC, parking, garden, heating, electricity, water, broadband, flood risk, listed building, agent address and profile.

### 🏆 Why this scraper

- **Fast.** 1,000 listings in about 15 seconds; with full details, about 100 per 12 seconds.
- **Complete.** Rightmove stops paging after about 1,000 results per search. This Actor splits big searches into price bands, so a whole city comes back in full (all 6,900 homes for sale in Manchester in under 2 minutes).
- **Ready to analyse.** Prices as numbers, rents also as a monthly figure, size in sq ft and m², price per sq ft computed, dates in ISO format, HTML turned into plain text.
- **No proxy needed.** Nothing extra to set up or pay for.

### 💡 Use cases

#### 🏚️ Every price-reduced house in Bristol with a garden

```json
{ "locations": ["Bristol"], "propertyTypes": ["detached", "semi-detached", "terraced"], "mustHave": ["garden"], "reducedOnly": true, "maxItems": null }
```

#### 📞 Every agent listing rentals in Manchester, with phones

```json
{ "locations": ["Manchester"], "listingType": "rent", "maxItems": null }
```

{ "urls": ["https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E904&minBedrooms=2&maxPrice=250000"], "maxItems": null }
```

### ⚙️ How the input is organised

| Section | What it's for |
| --- | --- |
| **Maximum properties** | Always first: caps the whole run. Empty means no limit. |
| **Where** | Places, Rightmove links, listing type and radius. |
| **Filters** | Price, rooms, types, tenure, must have, don't show, furnishing, date added, under offer, keywords, size, reductions, sort, new listings only. |
| **What to include** | Full details (paid add-on). |

For rentals, prices are per month. Links keep their own filters; the form filters apply to the places you type.

### 💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: a one-time **$0.003** when the run starts, plus a price per property saved to your dataset. The price depends on your Apify plan tier:

| Your Apify plan | Price per property |
| --- | --- |
| Free | $0.016 |
| Bronze | $0.014 |
| Silver | $0.013 |
| Gold / Platinum / Diamond | $0.012 |

Approximate total cost:

| Properties collected | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold+ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 100 | $1.60 | $1.40 | $1.30 | $1.20 |
| 1,000 | $16.00 | $14.00 | $13.00 | $12.00 |
| 10,000 | $160.00 | $140.00 | $130.00 | $120.00 |

**Full details add-on.** Only when **Full details** is on, each property saved with its details costs a little extra:

| Your Apify plan | Add-on per property |
| --- | --- |
| Free | $0.008 |
| Bronze | $0.007 |
| Silver | $0.0065 |
| Gold / Platinum / Diamond | $0.006 |

Leave it off and you pay only the base price. No proxy costs. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan a run saves up to 10 properties.

**Speed:** 1,000 listings in about 15 seconds; a whole city of about 7,000 in under 2 minutes; with full details, about 100 properties per 12 seconds.

### 🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Rightmove Scraper.
3. Type a place (or keep the prefilled one), or paste Rightmove links, add filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python, and schedule it with Apify's built-in Scheduler (with **New listings only**) to catch new listings every day.

### 🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Rightmove listings through the Model Context Protocol:

```
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/rightmove-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### 🔧 Troubleshooting

**A place was skipped.**
Type it the way Rightmove's search box shows it: "Newport, Isle of Wight", "Clapham, South West London", a postcode, or paste the search link instead.

**Some listings have no price per sq ft.**
The agent didn't give a size. Turn on **Full details**: some sizes only appear on the property page.

**Some listings have no council tax band or lease details.**
The agent didn't fill them in on Rightmove.

**A scheduled "New listings only" run saved nothing.**
Nothing new was listed since the last run of the same search. Changing the places, links or filters starts a fresh memory; set a **Monitor name** to keep it.

**A run with a Maximum isn't in my sort order past 1,000 listings.**
Very big searches are collected in price bands. Sorting by price keeps the order; other sorts are kept within each band.

### ❓ FAQ

| Question | Answer |
| --- | --- |
| Do I need a Rightmove account? | No. Only public listings are read. |
| Does it need a proxy? | No. |
| Can I get more than 1,000 results? | Yes. Leave the maximum empty: big searches are split into price bands automatically. |
| Can I get the agent's phone number? | Yes, `agentPhone` on every listing. |
| Can I get rentals and new builds? | Yes. Pick **To rent** or **New homes** in Listing type. |
| Can I track new listings? | Yes. Turn on **New listings only** and schedule the run. |
| Does it cover commercial property or sold prices? | Not yet. Write to us if you need them. |

### 🛡️ Limits & responsible use

This Actor reads only public listings from Rightmove. It never signs in and never contacts agents. Agent names and phone numbers are business contacts, but handle any personal data in line with UK GDPR and PECR, and use the data in line with Rightmove's terms.
