## 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

## Idealista Scraper: Spanish Real Estate Listings & Prices (Sale or Rent)

Scrape **Idealista property listings and prices across Spain** in one run.
Idealista is Spain's #1 real estate portal. Built for property investors, price
research, and market analysis: fast, reliable, and returned as clean structured
JSON. Runs with defaults and works as an **MCP tool** for AI agents.

### What it does

Give it a location slug and choose sale or rent. It returns every property listing
as a structured record you can build on:

- **Sale or rent in one actor**: switch `filters.operation` between `venta-viviendas` (for sale) and `alquiler-viviendas` (for rent)
- Target any Spanish market by location slug (`madrid-madrid`, `barcelona-barcelona`, and more)
- Structured price, size in m², rooms, floor, and lift data for every listing
- Reliable through Idealista's DataDome anti-bot protection
- **Stable JSON schema**: safe to depend on in code and pipelines
- **Runs with defaults** and **MCP-ready**: no setup needed, and AI agents can call it as a tool

### Input

`query` is a **location slug**, not a search keyword: it is the Spanish city or
district exactly as it appears in an idealista.com URL (for example `madrid-madrid`
or `barcelona-barcelona`). Set `filters.operation` to **`venta-viviendas`** to scrape
properties for sale, or **`alquiler-viviendas`** to scrape rentals.

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | `"madrid-madrid"` | Location slug (not a keyword): the city or area to scrape, e.g. `madrid-madrid`, `barcelona-barcelona`. |
| `countries` | array | `["es"]` | Spain only. Idealista is a Spain-only portal, so this stays `ES`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Max listings returned. |
| `filters` | object | `{ "operation": "venta-viviendas" }` | Catalog filters. The key one is `operation`: `venta-viviendas` for sale (default) or `alquiler-viviendas` for rent. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential ES | Apify residential proxy located in Spain, required to pass Idealista's DataDome protection. |

**Example input**

```json
{
  "query": "madrid-madrid",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "filters": { "operation": "alquiler-viviendas" }
}
````

### Output

Each property is one dataset record:

```json
{
  "id": "10....",
  "url": "https://www.idealista.com/inmueble/10..../",
  "title": "Piso en calle de Example, Ciudad Jardín, Madrid",
  "price": { "amount": 1250000, "currency": "EUR" },
  "size": "154 m²",
  "category": "Piso",
  "country": "es",
  "location": { "city": "Madrid", "region": "Ciudad Jardín" },
  "rooms": 4,
  "floor": "4ª",
  "hasLift": true,
  "images": ["https://img4.idealista.com/....webp"],
  "isBusinessSeller": true,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-10T12:00:00+00:00"
}
```

Optional fields appear only when they exist on a listing, so `rooms`, `floor`,
`hasLift`, and `isBusinessSeller` may be absent on some records.

Field notes:

- `price` is the **total** asking price for sale, and the **monthly** rent when `operation` is `alquiler-viviendas`.
- `category` is the property type: `Piso`, `Ático`, `Casa`, `Estudio`, and similar.
- `location.region` carries the neighbourhood or zone within the city.
- `rooms` is the bedroom count (absent for studios).
- `floor` and `hasLift` reflect Spanish-market purchase concerns: which floor the flat is on, and whether the building has a lift.
- `isBusinessSeller` marks agency listings (`true`) versus private sellers (`false`).

### Use cases

- **Investment sourcing**: find undervalued flats by comparing price per m² across districts
- **Rental yield analysis**: pull sale and rent prices for the same area to estimate gross yield
- **Market research**: track supply, asking prices, and property mix across Spanish cities
- **AI agents**: a reliable data tool an agent can call to answer "what do 3-bed flats cost in Barcelona?"

### Pricing

**Pay per result**: you're charged per property returned, so you only pay for data
you actually get. See the exact per-event price on this Actor's page.

### Fair use & privacy

Reads **public listings only**: no login and no account cookies. Personal seller or
agent contact details are **not** collected (GDPR-friendly): the output contains
property listing data, not people.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

What to search for. For most marketplaces this is a keyword; for the real-estate scraper it is a location slug (e.g. madrid-madrid). Leave empty to get the newest listings. See the README.

## `countries` (type: `array`):

Marketplace region(s). Single-region sites ignore this and always return their home market; multi-region sites use it to pick the locale/currency. See the README for what this target supports.

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

Hard cap on the number of listings returned.

## `filters` (type: `object`):

Optional marketplace-specific filters (e.g. price range, category, condition, sort). See this actor's README for the supported keys.

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

Residential proxy is recommended, and REQUIRED for the anti-bot-protected marketplaces (DataDome / Cloudflare block datacenter IPs). Use Apify Residential (paid plans) or plug in your own residential proxy URLs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "",
  "countries": [
    "fr"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "filters": {},
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

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

All scraped listings as structured records (price, category, condition, location, images, URL and more, depending on the marketplace).
