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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Rightmove Property Scraper Scrape UK property listings from Rightmove. Extracts price, bedrooms, bathrooms, location, agent details, and images. Pay per property scraped (~$0.002/property). ### Features - Search by city, town, or postcode (e.g. `Glasgow`, `G1`, `G1 1AA`) - Filter by listing type (Buy / Rent / Sold), property type, price range, and bedrooms - Returns up to 1,008 results per query (Rightmove's hard limit — see note below) - Structured JSON output, ready for analysis or import ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `location` | string | ✅ | — | City, town, or postcode | | `listingType` | string | | `BUY` | `BUY`, `RENT`, or `SOLD` | | `propertyType` | string | | `ANY` | `ANY`, `DETACHED`, `SEMI_DETACHED`, `TERRACED`, `FLAT` | | `minPrice` | integer | | — | Minimum price in £ | | `maxPrice` | integer | | — | Maximum price in £ | | `minBedrooms` | integer | | — | Minimum number of bedrooms | | `maxResults` | integer | | `100` | Max properties to return (hard cap: 1,008) | ### Output fields | Field | Type | Notes | |-------|------|-------| | `id` | string | Rightmove property ID | | `url` | string | Full listing URL | | `title` | string | Property type description | | `price` | integer | **Price in pence** — divide by 100 for £. `null` = POA. | | `priceQualifier` | string | e.g. "Offers over", "Guide price" | | `propertyType` | string | e.g. "Detached", "Flat" | | `bedrooms` | integer | | | `bathrooms` | integer | May be `null` | | `tenure` | string | "Freehold" / "Leasehold" | | `address` | string | Display address | | `latitude` | number | WGS84 | | `longitude` | number | WGS84 | | `agentName` | string | Estate agent brand | | `agentPhone` | string | Contact number | | `agentBranch` | string | Branch display name | | `listingDate` | string | First visible date | | `addedOrReduced` | string | e.g. "Added today", "Reduced on 01/01/2025" | | `images` | array | Up to 5 image URLs | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp | | `description` | null | v2 — requires `fetchFullDetails` | | `postcode` | null | v2 — requires `fetchFullDetails` | | `floorplanUrl` | null | v2 — requires `fetchFullDetails` | | `keyFeatures` | array | v2 — requires `fetchFullDetails` | > **Price is stored in pence.** `45000000` = £450,000. This avoids floating-point errors on currency values. ### Rightmove result cap Rightmove limits all searches to **1,008 results (42 pages × 24)**. To scrape more: - Split by price band (e.g. £0–300k, £300k–500k, £500k+) - Split by sub-area or postcode district ### Pricing **$0.002 per property returned.** | Volume | Cost | |--------|------| | 100 properties | $0.20 | | 500 properties | $1.00 | | 1,008 properties (max per run) | ~$2.02 | ### Running locally ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt playwright install chromium export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token export APIFY_IS_AT_HOME=0 echo '{"location":"Glasgow","listingType":"BUY","maxResults":50}' \ > storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json python -m src.main ```` ### Deploying ```bash apify push ``` ### Known limitations (v1) - `description`, `postcode`, `floorplanUrl`, and `keyFeatures` are not populated. These require visiting individual listing pages — deferred to v2 as an opt-in `fetchFullDetails` flag. - Sold prices (`listingType: SOLD`) use a different Rightmove endpoint and may have limited data. ### Compliance This actor accesses only publicly available data on Rightmove. Use extracted data in compliance with Rightmove's [Terms of Use](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/termsofuse.html), the UK GDPR, and the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997. You are responsible for how you use scraped data — particularly personal information such as agent names and phone numbers.
