They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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 ### What does Huislijn.nl Scraper do? **Huislijn.nl Scraper** extracts **Dutch rental property listings** from [huislijn.nl](https://www.huislijn.nl/) — a popular Netherlands rental marketplace. Paste a city or region search URL (for example `https://www.huislijn.nl/huurwoning/nederland/noord-holland/haarlem`) or a single listing URL and export structured rental data — **price, address, description, and images** — without writing any code. Run it on the **Apify platform** to schedule crawls, export JSON/CSV/Excel, rotate proxies, monitor failures, and integrate results via API. ### Why scrape huislijn.nl? - **Rent research** — Compare asking rents across cities, provinces, and neighborhoods. - **Market monitoring** — Track new rental inventory in target municipalities. - **Location intelligence** — Analyze street-level supply and pricing for Haarlem, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and more. - **Lead generation** — Collect listing URLs and property details for outreach or enrichment. - **Data pipelines** — Feed structured rental data into dashboards, alerts, or valuation tools. ### How to use Huislijn.nl Scraper 1. Open the Actor in Apify Console. 2. Add one or more **huislijn.nl search or listing URLs** under **Start URLs**. 3. Set **Maximum items** (listings per start URL). 4. Run the Actor and download the results from the **Dataset** tab. ### Input Huislijn.nl Scraper accepts **Start URLs**, **maxItems** (per start URL), and an optional **proxy configuration**. See the **Input** tab in Apify Console for details. Supported start URLs: - Search pages: `https://www.huislijn.nl/huurwoning/nederland/{province}/{city}` or `https://www.huislijn.nl/huurwoning/nederland/nieuwste-aanbod` - Listing pages: `https://www.huislijn.nl/huurwoning/nederland/{province}/{id}/{slug}` ### Output Each result is a structured rental object. You can download the dataset in **JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML**. ```json { "id": "4405797", "title": "Waddenstraat", "price": 810, "currency": "EUR", "street": "Waddenstraat", "city": "Haarlem", "region": "Noord-Holland", "description": "Woning te huur op het adres Waddenstraat 2036 Haarlem.", "images": [ "https://cdn-v4.huislijn.nl/objects/4405797/b4071dba6b85f7cfbbddf542dba15a4ad233161f/s.webp" ], "url": "https://www.huislijn.nl/huurwoning/nederland/noord-holland/4405797/waddenstraat-haarlem", "searchUrl": "https://www.huislijn.nl/huurwoning/nederland/noord-holland/haarlem" } ```` ### What data can you extract from huislijn.nl? | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | id | Unique listing identifier | | title | Listing headline / street name | | price | Numeric monthly rent | | currency | Price currency (EUR) | | street | Street address | | city | City / locality | | region | Province / region | | description | Listing description | | images | Listing image URLs | | url | Public listing URL | | searchUrl | Source search URL for listings found via search | ### How much does it cost to scrape huislijn.nl? This Actor uses a lightweight **HTTP crawler (no browser)**. A typical test run with a handful of listings per URL usually finishes in under a few minutes on the Apify free tier. Larger crawls scale with the number of detail pages. If you encounter Cloudflare challenges, enable **Dutch residential proxies** in the proxy configuration. ### Tips and advanced options - Use city or province search URLs to narrow results. - Increase **maxItems** to page deeper through search results; the Actor follows `?page=N` pagination when needed. - Add multiple start URLs to collect several cities in a single run. ### FAQ, disclaimers, and support **Is scraping huislijn.nl legal?**\ This Actor collects only **public** listing content shown on huislijn.nl. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws (including GDPR) when processing any personal data contained in listings. **Which URLs are supported?**\ Public rental search pages under `/huurwoning/` and individual listing pages with a numeric id in the path. **Something not working?**\ Use the **Issues** tab to report bugs or request features. If runs return empty results, try Dutch residential proxies. ### Image Credit Image credit: [huislijn.nl](https://www.huislijn.nl/) # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): huislijn.nl rental search URLs (e.g. https://www.huislijn.nl/huurwoning/nederland/noord-holland/haarlem) or individual listing URLs. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of property listings to return per start URL. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings.
