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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## UK Sold House Prices (HM Land Registry, official) Every recorded property sale for any full UK postcode (England & Wales), straight from **HM Land Registry's official Price Paid Data** — price, date, full address, property type, tenure and new-build flag, as a clean flat dataset. Official open data, updated monthly by HM Land Registry, **no API key**. Built for anyone who needs sold-price evidence as data: - **Property investors & sourcing agents** — comparable-sales evidence for target streets, in a spreadsheet-ready shape. - **Estate agents & valuers** — instant comps for appraisals and vendor presentations. - **PropTech / AVM builders** — the ground-truth transaction layer for England & Wales. - **Researchers & journalists** — verified transaction data with tenure and new-build detail. ### Input ```json { "postcodes": ["SE1 9SG", "M4 5BD"], "fromDate": "2015-01-01", "minPrice": 100000, "maxRecordsPerPostcode": 500 } ```` Date range (`fromDate`/`toDate`) and price range (`minPrice`/`maxPrice`) are applied server-side by the Land Registry API — you only pay for the records you actually want. ### Output (one row per recorded sale) ```json { "transactionId": "7011B10A-41CA-8ED6-E053-6B04A8C075C1", "pricePaid": 1335000, "transactionDate": "2018-05-07", "postcode": "SE1 9SG", "paon": "8", "street": "LONDON BRIDGE STREET", "town": "LONDON", "district": "SOUTHWARK", "county": "GREATER LONDON", "propertyType": "other", "estateType": "Leasehold", "newBuild": false, "transactionCategory": "Additional price paid transaction", "recordStatus": "Add" } ``` The linked-data API's nested RDF structure is flattened to the table above; dates are normalised to ISO `YYYY-MM-DD`. ### Pricing (pay per event) | Event | Price | |---|---| | Actor start | $0.02 per run | | Sale record extracted | $0.001 per record | A 10-postcode comparables run (~500 sales) costs about **$0.52**. ### Scheduling & integrations HM Land Registry updates Price Paid Data monthly (new month published around the 20th working day). Schedule a monthly run per postcode list and pipe new rows to Sheets/Slack/webhooks via Apify integrations. ### Fair use & data sources This actor consumes HM Land Registry's **official, documented, keyless linked-data API** (landregistry.data.gov.uk). Price Paid Data is Crown copyright, licensed under the **Open Government Licence v3.0**; address data within PPD carries the Land Registry's published re-use conditions for derived address data — if you republish raw address-level data commercially, read HM Land Registry's PPD licensing note. The actor paginates politely (300 ms delay, exponential backoff). No websites are scraped. ### Limitations (told straight) - **England & Wales only** (Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate registers not covered by PPD). - Postcode matching is exact full-postcode (e.g. "SE1 9SG"), per the underlying API. District-level pulls: run multiple postcodes. - PPD excludes some transaction types by design (e.g. court-ordered transfers, right-to-buy discounts are categorised separately) and new sales appear on the Land Registry's monthly publication lag, not on completion day. # Actor input Schema ## `postcodes` (type: `array`): Full UK postcodes (England & Wales), e.g. "SE1 9SG". One dataset row per recorded sale. ## `fromDate` (type: `string`): Only include sales on or after this date. ## `toDate` (type: `string`): Only include sales on or before this date. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Only include sales at or above this price. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Only include sales at or below this price. ## `maxRecordsPerPostcode` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many sale records per postcode (pagination is automatic). ## Actor input object example ```json { "postcodes": [ "SE1 9SG", "M4 5BD" ], "maxRecordsPerPostcode": 500 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "postcodes": [ "SE1 9SG", "M4 5BD" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("plotbench/uk-sold-property-prices").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
