## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Zonaprop Argentina Real Estate & Agency Scraper

Extract property listings, new developments and real estate agencies from
**Zonaprop**, Argentina's largest property portal.

No login. No session cookies. No CAPTCHA solving.

### What you get

**Every field the listing exposes** — not a trimmed-down subset:

| Group | Fields |
|---|---|
| **Price** | amount, currency (USD or ARS), formatted value, expenses, price-drop percentage, and every operation when a property is listed for both sale and rent |
| **Size & layout** | total area, covered area, rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, toilets, parking spaces, **age in years**, layout, orientation, brightness, condition |
| **Location** | street address, **exact latitude and longitude**, neighborhood, city, province, full location path, and an address-accuracy flag |
| **Seller** | seller type (**agency vs. private owner, taken from Zonaprop's own labelling**), name, profile URL, logo, member-since date, phone |
| **Media** | every photo with dimensions, total photo count, main image, flags for video, floor plans and virtual tour |
| **Meta** | listing ID and code, status, reserved flag, featured flag, last-modified date |

Turn on **detail scraping** to also get the **publication date**, the **full photo
set**, **floor plans**, **videos**, **virtual tours** and the **complete
description**.

### One entity type per run

Property listings, new developments and agencies have genuinely different fields,
so mixing them would give you one table with half the columns empty. Pick what you
want with **What to scrape** and the dataset you download has a single clean shape:

- **Property listings** — the default
- **New developments** — new-build projects, with their own feature set
- **Real estate agencies** — profiles, including how many listings each one holds

Run it once per type if you need more than one.

Anything that failed goes to the run's key-value store under `ERRORS`, and
**failed requests are never charged**.

### Permissions

This Actor runs with **restricted permissions**: it only touches its own default
dataset and key-value store, never the rest of your account's storages. That is
also why everything lands in one dataset instead of several named ones.

### How it handles Zonaprop's bot protection

Zonaprop sits behind Cloudflare. This actor gets through by making ordinary
requests from residential IPs and keeping the sessions that work, rather than
hammering the site. Two things follow:

- A **residential proxy is required**, and it **must not be Argentine** —
  Argentine IPs are challenged. Mexico works best.
- Keep concurrency low. The default of 3 is deliberate.

### Coverage, stated honestly

Zonaprop serves at most a few hundred results per search URL, no matter how many
listings match — one search can hold 74,000 properties and still only page through
about 270. This actor respects `robots.txt`, which caps it at 5 pages (150 results)
per URL, and then **automatically splits a large search into smaller ones by
location** to reach more of the inventory.

So: ask for a specific neighborhood and operation and you get near-complete
coverage. Ask for "every apartment in Argentina" and no tool can give you that,
this one included.

### Privacy

Zonaprop labels private owners ("dueño directo") separately from agencies, and this
actor carries that label through as `seller_type`.

**Agency phone numbers are always included** — they are public business contacts.
**Private sellers are individuals, so their phone number is withheld by default.**
You can enable it, but only do so if you have a lawful basis for processing
personal data.

`partial_phone` is a separate field and is **not** the phone number: it is the
5-digit fragment that Zonaprop itself renders on the public listing page for any
visitor. It covers the area code plus three digits, so the last five digits — the
part that identifies the line — are never included.

To request removal of specific data, email **privacy@actorstack.dev**.

### Input example

```json
{
  "propertyType": "departamentos",
  "operationType": "sale",
  "location": "palermo",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "includeDevelopments": true,
  "proxyCountry": "mx"
}
```

# Actor input Schema

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

Zonaprop search URLs to scrape, for example https://www.zonaprop.com.ar/departamentos-venta-palermo.html. Leave empty to build the search from the filters below.

## `entityType` (type: `string`):

One entity type per run, so the dataset you download has one clean shape. Property listings, new developments and agencies have genuinely different fields; run the Actor once per type if you need more than one.

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

Property type slug used by Zonaprop when no start URL is given.

## `operationType` (type: `string`):

Sale, rent or temporary rent.

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

Location slug, for example capital-federal, palermo, cordoba or gba-norte. Leave empty to search the whole country.

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

Hard cap on the number of results this run will deliver. You are only charged for results actually delivered.

## `maxPagesPerUrl` (type: `integer`):

How many result pages to read per search URL. Capped at 5, which is the limit Zonaprop's robots.txt allows. Each page holds 30 listings. To get more results, the actor automatically splits a large search into smaller ones by location.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Visit each listing page to add the publication date, every photo, floor plans, videos, virtual tours and the full description. A detail page costs about 10x a search result in bandwidth, so this is off by default.

## `includePrivateSellerPhone` (type: `boolean`):

Zonaprop marks private sellers ('dueño directo') separately from agencies. Agency phone numbers are always included. Private sellers are individuals, so their phone number is withheld unless you turn this on and have a lawful basis for processing it.

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

Parallel requests. Keep it low: Zonaprop is behind Cloudflare and aggressive crawling gets IPs challenged.

## `proxyCountry` (type: `string`):

Country for the residential proxy. Argentine IPs are challenged by Zonaprop's protection, so a non-Argentine country is required. Mexico measured best.

## Actor input object example

```json

  "startUrls": [],
  "entityType": "listings",

  "maxPagesPerUrl": 5,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "includePrivateSellerPhone": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyCountry": "mx"
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Everything this run collected: property listings, new developments or agencies, depending on what you asked for.

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

The same rows, trimmed to address, neighborhood, city, province and exact coordinates.

## `contacts` (type: `string`):

The same rows, trimmed to seller type, publisher and phone.

## `errors` (type: `string`):

Anything that could not be fetched. Failed requests are never charged.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": []
}' |
apify call oswaldocarabano/zonaprop-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,oswaldocarabano/zonaprop-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
