## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### What does HSB.se Scraper do?

**HSB.se Scraper** extracts **co-op housing projects and apartments for sale** from [hsb.se](https://www.hsb.se/) — Sweden's HSB housing association marketplace. Provide a search results URL or an individual listing URL and export structured housing data to JSON or CSV without writing code.

### Why scrape hsb.se?

- **New-build market research** — Track asking prices, sizes, and move-in dates across HSB projects nationwide.
- **Buyer lead lists** — Collect active for-sale projects and individual apartments with location, price, and direct listing URLs.
- **Portfolio monitoring** — Watch new listings in target regions on a schedule.
- **Apify platform** — Schedule runs, export JSON/CSV/Excel, and integrate via API or webhooks.

### How to scrape hsb.se

1. Open **HSB.se Scraper** in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more **start URLs** under **Start URLs**, for example:
   - `https://www.hsb.se/sok-bostad/sokresultat/` — all current for-sale projects and apartments
   - `https://www.hsb.se/sok-bostad/dalarna/leksand/projekt/flottisten/` — a single project
   - `https://www.hsb.se/sok-bostad/ostergotland/linkoping/projekt/djurgardsbacken/38/` — a single apartment
3. Set **Maximum items** to control how many listings are extracted per start URL (default 3).
4. Click **Start** and download results from the **Dataset** tab.

Search result pages include both project cards and individual apartment blocks in a single HTML response — no pagination is required.

### Is it legal to scrape hsb.se?

This scraper only collects publicly visible for-sale listings shown on hsb.se without logging in. It does not access private account data or bypass authentication. Ensure your use complies with applicable laws (including GDPR) and the site's Terms of Service.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,rainminer/hsb-se-scraper"
        }
    }

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
