## Pricing

from $10.10 / 1,000 listings

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower 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`).

## Sinyi Scraper - Taiwan Real Estate

Scrape every home for sale on **Sinyi (信義房屋)**, Taiwan's biggest real estate broker: price, price cuts, district, community, type, age, area in ping and m², layout, floor, map point, and (with Details) the agent's name and mobile number.

> 👉 **Try it now:** press **Start**. The ready-made input gives you 10 listings in a few seconds.<br>
> 💰 **$0.0126 per listing** on the Free plan (10 listings per run), from $0.0116 on paid plans. [See pricing](#-pricing)

### ✨ Why this scraper?

> - **No page cap**<br>
>   Every page of a city is read, so a city with 21,000 listings gives 21,000 rows.
>
> - **Exact filters**<br>
>   The site's own type, age and room filters are loose (a shop can show up in an apartment search). Every row is checked again, so what you get matches what you asked for.
>
> - **Fast and light**<br>
>   About 1,000 listings in 25 seconds, no browser and no proxy.
>
> - **Clean, typed data**<br>
>   Numbers are numbers, phones are in +886 format, dates are ISO with the Taiwan time zone.
>
> - Reads the Sinyi "buy" lists for **all 22 cities and counties** (about 125,000 listings), or only the cities and districts you pick.
>
> - Applies the site's filters: **property type, price, building area, age, bedrooms, parking, keyword**, and 9 sort orders.
>
> - **Apify platform**<br>
>   Schedule runs, get only new listings, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

### ❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

#### Is there a Sinyi API? Do I need an API key?

> Sinyi has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Sinyi API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP.

#### Why do I get only 10 listings?

> On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

#### What are the limits?

> - Only homes for sale (the "buy" section). Sinyi's rentals and its Japan and Malaysia pages are not included.
> - The site hides the house number in the address, and does not show unit prices for most listings.
> - Agent phone numbers are the ones Sinyi publishes for buyers to call. Use them in line with Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and do not send spam.

#### Is this an official Sinyi tool?

> No. It is independent and not affiliated with Sinyi. It reads only data Sinyi publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Sinyi's terms and the laws that apply to you.
