## 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.

# README

## Suumo Rental Listings Scraper — Japan Real Estate Data in English

Scrape rental listings (賃貸 / chintai) from **Suumo (suumo.jp)** — Japan's largest
property portal — and get clean, **English-normalized JSON**: rent as a number in
JPY, deposit and key money converted to months, building age in years, stations
with walking minutes. No Japanese parsing needed on your side.

### What it does

- Crawls Suumo rental **search-result pages** (~30 listings per page request —
  fast and cheap; no detail-page fetches in v1).
- Normalizes every Japanese value format for you: `12.5万円` → `125000`,
  `新築` → age `0`, `敷金 25万円` → `deposit_months: 2`, `ワンルーム` → `1R`,
  `"-"` → `null`.
- Builds search URLs from prefecture/ward codes and rent bounds, or accepts any
  Suumo search URL you paste in.
- Typical uses: relocation research, Tokyo rent analytics, market dashboards,
  ML datasets, alerting on new listings in a ward.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| ----- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
| `searchUrls` | array of strings | — | Full suumo.jp rental search-result URLs (`/jj/chintai/ichiran/FR301FC001/…`). When set, the fields below are ignored. |
| `prefectureCode` | string | `"13"` | Two-digit JIS prefecture code (13 = Tokyo). v1 URL builder covers Kanto (08–14); elsewhere use `searchUrls`. |
| `wardCodes` | array of strings | `["13101"]` | Five-digit JIS municipality codes (13101 Chiyoda, 13104 Shinjuku, 13113 Shibuya, …). |
| `minRentJpy` / `maxRentJpy` | integer | — | Optional monthly rent bounds in JPY. |
| `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Hard cap per run (max 10,000). **Free-plan users are capped at 50.** |
| `language` | string | `"en"` | Output normalization language — v1 is English only. |

Example input:

```json
{
    "searchUrls": ["https://suumo.jp/jj/chintai/ichiran/FR301FC001/?ar=030&bs=040&ta=13&sc=13101"],
    "maxResults": 100
}
````

### Output sample

One dataset item per advertised unit (a building can yield several):

```json
{
    "title": "Ａｎｖｉｌｌｅ神田司町",
    "rent_jpy": 125000,
    "admin_fee_jpy": 10000,
    "deposit_months": 1,
    "key_money_months": 1,
    "layout": "1K",
    "size_m2": 25.2,
    "floor": "9F",
    "building_age_years": 10,
    "building_type": "condo",
    "address_ja": "東京都千代田区神田司町２",
    "stations": [
        { "line": "東京メトロ丸ノ内線", "station": "淡路町駅", "walk_min": 4 },
        { "line": "JR山手線", "station": "神田駅", "walk_min": 7 }
    ],
    "detail_url": "https://suumo.jp/chintai/jnc_000091230001/?bc=100510000001",
    "scraped_at": "2026-06-10T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

Field notes: `admin_fee_jpy`, `deposit_months`, `key_money_months`, `size_m2`,
`floor`, `building_age_years` are `null` when Suumo lists them as `-` (none /
not provided). `building_type` is `"condo"` (マンション), `"apartment"` (アパート)
or `"house"` (一戸建て). `walk_min` is `null` for bus/car access. Building names
and addresses are kept in the original Japanese — they are proper nouns you'll
need for maps and detail pages.

### 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) |
| Rental listing (`apify-default-dataset-item`) | $1.00 / 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
  (exact floor plans, photos, fees breakdown, agency info) are not included yet.
- **Rental (chintai) only.** Sales listings (新築/中古マンション etc.) are out of scope.
- **Politeness by design:** pages are fetched sequentially with a randomized
  2–5 s delay, so very large runs take a while (~30 listings per fetch).
- The prefecture/ward URL builder covers the Kanto area block in v1; for other
  regions, paste full Suumo search URLs into `searchUrls`.
- Data is scraped from public Suumo pages; listings change constantly, so treat
  results as a snapshot (`scraped_at` is included on every row).
