## What's an Apify Actor?

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 Scraper — UK Property Listings Data

Scrape property listings from **Rightmove (rightmove.co.uk)** — the UK's largest
property portal — for **both sales and rentals**, and get clean, typed JSON:
price as a number in GBP, weekly rents normalized to per-calendar-month,
bedrooms/bathrooms, agent name and phone, coordinates, and the date each
listing was added or reduced. No HTML parsing on your side.

### What it does

- Crawls Rightmove **search-result pages** (24 listings per page request — fast
  and cheap; no detail-page fetches in v1).
- Reads the structured JSON embedded in each page (`__NEXT_DATA__`) instead of
  brittle CSS selectors — markup redesigns don't break extraction.
- Normalizes every value: `"£425,000"` → `425000`, `"£295 pw"` → `1278.33` pcm,
  `"Offers Over"` → `offers_over`, `"POA"` → `null` price + `poa` qualifier,
  `"Reduced on 06/05/2026"` → `2026-05-06`.
- Searches by plain **UK place names** (resolved through Rightmove's own
  location service) or accepts any Rightmove search URL you paste in.
- Typical uses: price tracking and comps, rental-yield analysis, lead
  generation from agent contacts, market dashboards, ML datasets, alerting on
  new listings in an area.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
| `searchUrls` | array of strings | — | Full rightmove.co.uk search-result URLs (`/property-for-sale/find.html` or `/property-to-rent/find.html`). When set, the fields below are ignored; sale vs. rent is detected per URL. |
| `locations` | array of strings | `["Manchester"]` | Plain UK place names ("Leeds", "Bristol", "SW1A") — resolved automatically. |
| `listingType` | string | `"sale"` | `"sale"` or `"rent"`. |
| `propertyTypes` | array | — | Optional filter: `detached`, `semi-detached`, `terraced`, `flat`, `bungalow`, `land`, `park-home`, `private-halls`. |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | integer | — | Optional GBP bounds (sale: total price; rent: pcm). |
| `includeSoldSTC` | boolean | `false` | Include Sold STC / Let Agreed listings. |
| `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Hard cap per run (max 10,000). **Free-plan users are capped at 50.** |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify datacenter proxy | Datacenter proxy works well for Rightmove. |

Example input:

```json
{
    "locations": ["Manchester"],
    "listingType": "sale",
    "maxResults": 100
}
````

### Output sample

One dataset item per listing:

```json
{
    "id": "88964910",
    "display_address": "Manchester Property Investment, Manchester City Centre, M1",
    "price_gbp": 375000,
    "price_qualifier": "offers_in_region_of",
    "listing_type": "sale",
    "rent_period": null,
    "property_type": "Apartment",
    "bedrooms": 3,
    "bathrooms": 3,
    "size_sqft": null,
    "agent_name": "RW Invest, Manchester",
    "agent_phone": "0161 524 4934",
    "added_or_reduced": "2026-05-06",
    "latitude": 53.4794,
    "longitude": -2.2453,
    "detail_url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/88964910#/?channel=RES_BUY",
    "image_count": 11,
    "scraped_at": "2026-06-12T10:00:00.000Z"
}
```

Field notes: `price_gbp` is the asking price for sales and the **normalized
monthly rent** for rentals (weekly rents are converted at ×52⁄12;
`rent_period` is always `"pcm"` for rentals). `price_gbp` is `null` for POA
(price-on-application) listings — check `price_qualifier`. `size_sqft`,
`bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `agent_phone`, coordinates are `null` when Rightmove
doesn't list them. Featured/premium listings that Rightmove repeats on the page
are deduplicated — you are never charged twice for the same property.

### Pricing & free-tier policy

This Actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing:

| Event | Price | When charged |
| ----- | ----- | ------------ |
| Actor start (`apify-actor-start`) | $0.005 | Automatically by Apify, once per run (per GB of memory) |
| Property listing (`apify-default-dataset-item`) | $1.50 / 1,000 items | Automatically by Apify, per default-dataset item |

You only pay for listings that pass output-schema validation — malformed rows
are never charged. Set **Maximum cost per run** in Apify Console to cap spend;
the Actor stops gracefully at the limit and keeps everything scraped so far.

**Free tier — stated plainly:** users on the Apify free plan get up to
**50 listings per run**. The run still finishes successfully with a clear status
message when the cap is reached. Any paid Apify plan unlocks the full
10,000-listings-per-run limit.

### Limitations

- **Search-result pages only (v1).** Fields shown only on detail pages (full
  description, floorplans, EPC, tenure, price per sq ft, station distances)
  are not included yet.
- **~1,000 results per query** — a Rightmove platform cap (42 pages × 24).
  To collect more, add more `locations` or split a city into narrower searches
  (the Actor handles multiple queries in one run).
- **Politeness by design:** pages are fetched sequentially with a randomized
  2–5 s delay through rotating datacenter proxies.
- Data is scraped from public, logged-out Rightmove pages; listings change
  constantly, so treat results as a snapshot (`scraped_at` is on every row).

will usually be handled within a few days.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Full rightmove.co.uk search-result URLs (the page you see after searching — /property-for-sale/find.html or /property-to-rent/find.html). When set, the location/filter fields below are ignored. Sale vs. rent is detected from each URL.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Plain UK place names, e.g. "Manchester", "Leeds", "Bristol" — resolved automatically via Rightmove's own location search. Used only when no search URLs are given.

## `listingType` (type: `string`):

Search for properties for sale or to rent. Used only when no search URLs are given.

## `propertyTypes` (type: `array`):

Optional property-type filter. Leave empty for all types.

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

Optional lower price bound. Sale: total price. Rent: per calendar month.

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

Optional upper price bound. Sale: total price. Rent: per calendar month.

## `includeSoldSTC` (type: `boolean`):

Include listings already Sold Subject To Contract (sale) or Let Agreed (rent).

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on listings pushed to the dataset (max 10,000). Free-plan users are capped at 50 results per run. Note: Rightmove serves at most ~1,000 results per query — add more locations to go beyond.

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

Proxy to use. Apify datacenter proxy (default) works well for Rightmove; switch to residential only if you see blocks.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "locations": [
    "Manchester"
  ],
  "listingType": "sale",
  "includeSoldSTC": false,
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `listings` (type: `string`):

All extracted property listings as structured JSON items (also exportable as CSV/Excel).
