## 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

## Imobiliare.ro Scraper — Romania real estate listings and agencies

Extract property listings from **imobiliare.ro**, one of Romania's main real-estate portals: apartments, studios, houses, land, commercial space and offices, **for sale and for rent**, in any county, city or sector. Every row carries the price, surfaces, rooms, floor, year built, the **full description**, photos, **GPS coordinates** and the advertiser — up to **106 fields per listing row**, with no login and no browser.

- **Rich rows by default:** a median of **66 filled fields per listing** from the search results alone (measured on 480 listings across 14 searches, 23 Sep 2026).
- **Even richer with listing pages:** turn on `includeDetails` and the median rises to **84 filled fields** — creation, publication and modification dates, street, bathrooms, every characteristic and amenity, and the agency's legal name, address and agents.
- **GPS coordinates** from the portal map: 60 of 60 rows on a Cluj-Napoca search, 74 of 100 on Bucharest apartments (a 26,000-result search, where the map returns at most 10,000 pins). With `includeDetails` every listing page adds its own coordinates.
- **Agencies and developers** as a second row type (`outputType: agencies`), including the portal's top-agency block with active listing counts.
- **Whole-country coverage:** the site only pages through 9,990 results per search; above that the actor continues automatically by sub-location.

### Who uses it

- **Romania property prices and market analysis:** track asking prices per m² for apartments in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Iași, Brașov or Constanța, by sector and neighbourhood, and follow price cuts (`previous_price`) and days on market.
- **Rental market data:** Bucharest and Cluj rent levels, with the price period (`price_period`) on 99.4 % of rows.
- **Real estate agency lists (agenții imobiliare):** agency and developer names, IDs, logos and profile URLs, as a second row type.
- **Investors and proptech teams:** a property data feed for Romania that you call over the Apify API and export as JSON, CSV or Excel, on a schedule.

### What you get

| Group | Fields (fill rate, 480 listings, 23 Sep 2026) |
|---|---|
| Identity | `id`, `url`, `title`, `name`, `offer_type`, `property_type`, `category`, `subcategory` (100 %) |
| Price | `price` and `currency` (100 %), `price_period` (99.4 %), `price_plus_vat`, `price_before_vat` (22.1 %), `price_per_sqm` (18.1 %, 100 % on land), `previous_price` and `price_change_direction` (4.6 %) |

| Location | `location`, `address`, `county`, `city`, `area`, `location_path` (100 %), `latitude`/`longitude` from the map, `metro_distance_m` and `metro_walk_minutes` (23.1 %, 44 % on Bucharest rentals) |

Fill rates are measured, not promised: a field that the site leaves empty comes back as `null`, never missing. Error rows (for example a location the site does not know) are marked `row_type: error` and are **never charged**.

### Pricing

Pay per event, nothing else:

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Listing delivered | **$0.00065** ($0.65 per 1,000) |
| Listing page data (only with `includeDetails`) | $0.00075 per listing |
| Agency delivered (`outputType: agencies`) | $0.00065 per agency |
| Actor start | $0.00001 (platform minimum) |

1,000 listings cost **$0.65**; with listing pages, $1.40. Duplicates within a run are skipped and not charged. If you set a maximum cost for the run, the actor stops cleanly when it is reached and never delivers a row it did not charge.

### How to use it

1. Choose the operation (`sale` or `rent`), the property type and a location such as `bucuresti`, `bucuresti/sector-1`, `judetul-cluj/cluj-napoca` or `judetul-timis/timisoara`. Leave the location empty for all of Romania.
2. Optionally filter by price (EUR), rooms and sort order — only filters verified to change the results against the live site are offered.
3. Or paste your own imobiliare.ro search URLs, with any filters set on the site, into **Search URLs**.
4. Set **Maximum rows** and run. The default run (100 Bucharest apartments for sale) finishes in under 30 seconds on the platform.

#### Input example

{
  "offerType": "rent",
  "propertyType": "apartments",
  "location": "judetul-cluj/cluj-napoca",
  "sort": "latest",
  "maxItems": 60,
  "includeDetails": true
}
```

### Private sellers and personal data

About **17 %** of advertisers on imobiliare.ro are private persons (measured: 81 of 480; up to 55 % of Bucharest rentals). By default, for those rows the actor hides the advertiser's name and account and removes any phone number or e-mail written in the description. Agencies and developers are always delivered in full. Turn on **Include private sellers' names** only if you have a lawful basis to process personal data under the GDPR. The actor never logs in and never uses the portal's "show phone" button.

### Good to know

- **Speed and limits:** 3 parallel requests by default. In our tests the site served 36 requests in a burst without a single refusal. If it ever starts refusing, the actor pauses all requests, switches to an alternative route automatically and tells you in the status message.
- **Coordinates:** one extra request per search adds latitude and longitude to every listing on the map (all listings on searches under 10,000 results). No extra charge.
- **Large searches:** Bucharest apartments for sale alone has about 26,000 listings; the actor splits it by sector to get past the 9,990-result paging limit.
- **Run summary:** the `RUN_SUMMARY` record in the key-value store has the counts of rows, listing pages, error rows and requests.

### FAQ

**Can I scrape a single listing?** Paste its search page instead; listing URLs are enriched through `includeDetails`.

**Why is a location rejected?** imobiliare.ro silently returns the whole country for a location it does not know. The actor detects that and returns an error row instead of charging you for the wrong data.

**Is the price in EUR?** Almost always: the price comes with its own `currency` on every row.

# Actor input Schema

## `outputType` (type: `string`):

One row type per run. Listings (default) gives one row per property with up to 100 fields. Agencies gives one row per real-estate agency or developer found in the search, including the portal's top-agency block with active listing counts. Private sellers never become agency rows.

## `offerType` (type: `string`):

For sale or for rent.

## `propertyType` (type: `string`):

Counts across Romania measured on 23 Sep 2026. Land exists only for sale and offices only for rent on imobiliare.ro.

## `location` (type: `string`):

The location part of an imobiliare.ro search URL. Examples: bucuresti · bucuresti/sector-1 · judetul-cluj/cluj-napoca · judetul-timis/timisoara · judetul-iasi/iasi · judetul-ilfov. Leave empty for all of Romania. An unknown location is reported as an error row instead of silently returning the whole country.

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

Paste imobiliare.ro search result URLs (with any filters you set on the site) instead of using the fields above. Only search pages are accepted, e.g. https://www.imobiliare.ro/vanzare-apartamente/bucuresti?price=50000-100000

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Only sort orders verified against the live site to change the result order.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only listings priced at or above this. Verified to narrow the result set (Bucharest apartments: 25,983 → 25,726 with 50,000).

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only listings priced at or below this. Verified (Bucharest apartments: 25,983 → 5,733 with 100,000).

## `rooms` (type: `array`):

Only listings with these room counts. 4 means 4 or more. Leave empty for any.

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

Hard cap on rows delivered (listings, or agencies). The site pages through at most 9,990 results per search; above that the actor continues by sub-location automatically.

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

Adds creation, publication and modification dates, street, bathrooms, every characteristic and amenity group, coordinates, and the agency's legal name, address, profile and agents. A listing page costs about 20x the bandwidth of a search result, so it is billed as a separate event and is off by default.

## `includeCoordinates` (type: `boolean`):

One extra request per search adds latitude and longitude to every listing the portal map knows about (all of them on searches under 10,000 results). No extra charge.

## `includePrivateSellerContact` (type: `boolean`):

About 17% of advertisers are private persons (up to 55% of Bucharest rentals). By default their name, account and any phone number or e-mail written in the description are hidden. Agencies and developers are always delivered in full. Turn this on only if you have a lawful basis to process personal data under the GDPR.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel requests. 3 is plenty: 36 requests in a burst (8 in parallel) got no refusals, and staying well below that keeps the scraper working next month.

## `maxCacheAgeDays` (type: `integer`):

Only applies to listing (detail) pages of agencies and developers, when a cache is configured. 0 always fetches fresh.

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

Optional. The actor reaches imobiliare.ro directly and switches to an alternative route automatically if the site starts refusing requests.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "outputType": "listings",
  "offerType": "rent",
  "propertyType": "apartments",

  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One row per listing: price, surfaces, rooms, floor, year built, full description, photos, coordinates, badges and the advertiser. Or one row per agency when outputType is agencies.

## `overview` (type: `string`):

The key listing columns as a table.

## `runSummary` (type: `string`):

Counts of rows delivered, detail pages, error rows and requests.
