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. 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 ### MagicBricks Scraper MagicBricks Scraper extracts structured rent and buy property listings from [MagicBricks](https://www.magicbricks.com), India's largest real estate portal.
Search any Indian city or neighborhood and filter by BHK, property type, price, area, furnishing, and tenant type — get clean, structured listing data including price, area, amenities, RERA IDs, and full descriptions.
##### Copy to your AI assistant Copy this block into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any LLM to start using this Actor: Actor ID `parsebird/magicbricks-scraper` on Apify — call it with the Apify API or `ApifyClient` (e.g. Python: `ApifyClient(token).actor("parsebird/magicbricks-scraper").call(run_input={"searchMode": "rent", "city": "Bangalore", "localities": ["Koramangala"], "bhk": [2, 3], "maxResults": 15})`) — key inputs are `searchMode` (string: "rent" | "buy", default "rent"), `city` (string, Indian city name or a full MagicBricks search URL, default "Bangalore"), `localities` (array of neighborhood names), `bhk` (array of integers, OR-combined), `propertyType`/`furnishing`/`tenantType` (arrays of enum strings), `minPrice`/`maxPrice`/`minArea`/`maxArea` (integers), `availability` (string, buy only), `maxResults` (integer, default 15), and `proxyConfiguration` (object, defaults to Apify's Indian residential proxy) — output items include `listing_id`, `title`, `propertyType`, `bhk`, `price_inr`, `price_display`, `carpet_area_sqft`, `super_area_sqft`, `furnishing`, `locality`, `city`, `state`, `latitude`/`longitude`, `project_name`, `developer`, `rera_id`, `amenities`, `images`, `description`, `url`, and `scraped_at` — full API spec at `https://apify.com/parsebird/magicbricks-scraper/api` and an API token from the Apify Console under Settings → Integrations. ### What does MagicBricks Scraper do? MagicBricks Scraper is a **MagicBricks API alternative** that turns a city, neighborhood, or saved search into a structured property dataset — for both **renting** and **buying**. Give it a city (or a full MagicBricks search URL) and it collects price, area, BHK configuration, furnishing, amenities, RERA registration, contact details, and the full listing description for every matching property. - 🏙️ Search a whole city or specific neighborhoods (e.g. Koramangala, HSR Layout, Indiranagar) - 🏠 Covers apartments, villas, independent houses, builder floors, studios, penthouses, and plots - 🛏️ Filter by BHK, price range, area range, furnishing, and — for rentals — preferred tenant type - 📍 GPS coordinates, locality, city, and state for every listing - 🏗️ Project name, developer, and RERA registration ID when the listing is tied to a registered project - ⚙️ Runs on the Apify platform: schedule recurring scrapes, trigger runs via API or webhook, and export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML - 🆓 New Apify accounts get free platform credits, enough to try this Actor at no cost ### What data can you extract from MagicBricks? | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title` | Listing title | | `propertyType` / `propertyType_display` | Normalized type (e.g. "apartment") and MagicBricks' raw label | | `bhk` / `bedrooms` / `bathrooms` / `balconies` | Room configuration | | `carpet_area_sqft` / `super_area_sqft` | Area in square feet | | `price_inr` / `price_display` / `price_per_sqft` | Price (monthly rent or total sale price) | | `deposit_inr` / `maintenance_inr` | Security deposit and monthly maintenance (rent) | | `furnishing` / `facing` / `floor` / `total_floors` | Property attributes | | `locality` / `city` / `state` / `latitude` / `longitude` | Location | | `project_name` / `developer` / `rera_id` | Project and legal details | | `amenities` / `images` | Amenity list and photo URLs | | `description` | Full listing description (HTML stripped) | | `url` | Public MagicBricks listing URL | ### Input parameters | Parameter | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|----------|---------|-------------| | searchMode | Yes | "rent" | "rent" or "buy" | | city | Yes | "Bangalore" | Indian city name (e.g. "Bangalore", "Mumbai", "New Delhi") or a full MagicBricks search URL | | localities | No | — | List of neighborhoods (e.g. \["Koramangala", "HSR Layout"]). Matched case-insensitively | | bhk | No | — | Number of bedrooms as integers (e.g. \[2, 3]). Multiple values are OR-combined | | propertyType | No | — | One or more of apartment, villa, independent-house, builder-floor, studio, penthouse, plot | | minPrice / maxPrice | No | — | Price range in INR (monthly rent for rent, total for buy) | | minArea / maxArea | No | — | Area range in sq ft | | furnishing | No | — | One or more of furnished, semi-furnished, unfurnished | | availability | No | "any" | ready, under-construction, or any (buy only) | | tenantType | No | — | One or more of family, bachelor, company (rent only) | | maxResults | No | 15 | Maximum listings to return | | proxyConfiguration | No | Indian residential | Proxy settings — MagicBricks requires an Indian IP, so the default works out of the box | ### Output example ```json { "listing_id": "71872407", "title": "3 BHK Apartment in Whitefield", "searchMode": "rent", "propertyType": "apartment", "bhk": 3, "bedrooms": 3, "bathrooms": 3, "balconies": 2, "carpet_area_sqft": 1450, "super_area_sqft": 1750, "price_inr": 45000, "price_display": "45,000", "price_per_sqft": 26, "deposit_inr": 200000, "maintenance_inr": 3500, "maintenance_period": "Monthly", "furnishing": "Semi-Furnished", "facing": "East", "floor": 8, "total_floors": 15, "locality": "Whitefield", "city": "Bangalore", "latitude": 12.9698, "longitude": 77.75, "project_name": "Prestige Lakeside Habitat", "developer": "Prestige Group", "rera_id": "PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/171014/000456", "listed_by": "owner", "preferred_tenants": "Family", "images": ["https://img.staticmb.com/mbimages/..."], "url": "https://www.magicbricks.com/propertyDetails/...", "posted_at": "2026-04-12T08:14:30+00:00", "scraped_at": "2026-04-20T12:31:02+00:00" } ``` ### How to scrape MagicBricks property listings 1. Open **MagicBricks Scraper** on the Apify Store and click **Try for free**. 2. Set `searchMode` to "rent" or "buy" and enter a `city`, or paste a MagicBricks search URL. 3. Optionally add `localities` to focus on specific neighborhoods. 4. Narrow results with `bhk`, `propertyType`, price/area range, `furnishing`, `availability`, or `tenantType`. 5. Set `maxResults` and click **Start** — download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel once the run finishes, or pull them via the API. #### Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("") run = client.actor("parsebird/magicbricks-scraper").call(run_input={ "searchMode": "rent", "city": "Bangalore", "localities": ["Koramangala", "HSR Layout"], "bhk": [2, 3], "maxResults": 50, }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item["title"], item["price_display"], item["url"]) ``` #### JavaScript ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '' }); const run = await client.actor('parsebird/magicbricks-scraper').call({ searchMode: 'rent', city: 'Bangalore', localities: ['Koramangala', 'HSR Layout'], bhk: [2, 3], maxResults: 50, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ``` ### Use cases - **Rental market research** — track asking rents across neighborhoods over time. - **Property investment analysis** — compare price-per-sqft and RERA-registered projects across a city. - **Lead generation for agents and brokers** — build a feed of new listings matching client criteria. - **PropTech and data products** — power a listing aggregator, price index, or comparison tool. - **Relocation and house-hunting tools** — surface furnished rentals in specific tenant-friendly localities. ### How much does it cost to scrape MagicBricks? MagicBricks Scraper uses **pay-per-event (PPE)** pricing — you're charged per listing scraped, not for platform compute time. | Event | Price per event | Price per 1,000 | |-------|-----------------|------------------| | Listing scraped | $0.00299 (Free) / $0.00249 (Bronze) / $0.00199 (Silver) / $0.00149 (Gold) | **$2.99** (Free) / **$2.49** (Bronze) / **$1.99** (Silver) / **$1.49** (Gold) | Scraping 1,000 listings costs under $3 on the free plan, dropping as low as $1.49 per 1,000 on the Gold plan. New Apify accounts include free platform credits, so you can test this Actor at no cost before committing to a larger run. ### Is it legal to scrape MagicBricks? Scraping publicly available data, like property listings on MagicBricks, is generally considered legal, as established in cases such as *hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn*. This Actor only collects data that is already visible to any visitor on public MagicBricks search results and listing pages. You are responsible for how you use the scraped data — avoid collecting or storing personal data beyond what you need, and respect the target website's terms of service. Read more in [Apify's guide on the legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/). ### FAQ **Why does this Actor need a proxy?** MagicBricks blocks requests from outside India and from datacenter IPs. The default `proxyConfiguration` uses Apify's residential proxy group with country set to India, which works out of the box — you don't need to change it. **Can I search without specifying localities?** Yes. Leave `localities` empty to search the entire city. **How are `bhk`, `propertyType`, `furnishing`, and `tenantType` matched?** As whole-word, case-insensitive filters applied to each listing's own data, so results are never silently dropped due to a spelling or casing mismatch with MagicBricks' internal filter codes. **Why are some fields (like `rera_id`, `deposit_inr`, or `amenities`) empty for some listings?** Not every listing carries every field — individually posted resale or rental units, for example, often don't have a RERA registration, since RERA mainly applies to registered builder projects. The Actor returns `null` or an empty array rather than guessing. **Can I use a specific MagicBricks search URL instead of city/locality filters?** Yes — paste any `magicbricks.com/property-for-rent-in-...` or `property-for-sale-in-...` search URL into the `city` field and it will be used as the starting point. **Can I schedule this to run automatically?** Yes. Use [Apify's Scheduler](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to run this Actor daily, weekly, or at any interval, and pair it with [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations) (Zapier, Make, Slack, Google Sheets, and more) to route new results wherever you need them. **What formats can I export results in?** JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML — from the Apify Console, via the API, or through an integration. **I found a bug or the site layout changed. What do I do?** Please open an issue on the Actor's **Issues** tab in Apify Console. We actively maintain this Actor and respond to reports. # Actor input Schema ## `searchMode` (type: `string`): Search for properties to rent or to buy. ## `city` (type: `string`): Indian city name, e.g. "Bangalore", "Mumbai", "New Delhi" — or paste a full MagicBricks search URL to use as the starting point instead. ## `localities` (type: `array`): Optional list of neighborhoods to search within the city, e.g. "Koramangala", "HSR Layout".
