## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Mitula Imóveis Brazil Scraper

Extract for-sale and rental property listings from [Mitula Imóveis](https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/) — Brazil's leading real-estate aggregator that collects listings from hundreds of portals and classified sites into a single search interface.

### What does this Actor do?

The **Mitula Imóveis Brazil Scraper** crawls Mitula search result pages and outputs structured data for every listing found. Because Mitula is a search-result aggregator (SERP), all the key details — title, price, location, bedroom count, area, amenities, and image — are embedded directly in the search-result cards. No separate detail-page visit is required, making the scraper fast and efficient.

For each listing the Actor collects:

- **id** — Mitula's internal unique identifier (e.g. `mitula-BR-5400006785914318080`)
- **title** — Listing headline as shown on the card
- **propertyType** — Property category (e.g. *Casa*, *Apartamento*)
- **operationType** — Listing operation (`sell` or `rent`)
- **priceText** — Raw price string as shown on the page (e.g. *R$ 340.000*)
- **price** — Parsed numeric price value
- **currency** — Currency code (BRL)
- **location** — Full location string from the card
- **city** — City or metropolitan region
- **region** — Brazilian region (e.g. *Região Sudeste*)
- **district** — District or neighbourhood
- **bedrooms** — Number of bedrooms (*quartos*)
- **bathrooms** — Number of bathrooms (*banheiros*)
- **sizeSqM** — Floor area in square metres (parsed from card)
- **sizeText** — Raw area string (e.g. *65 m²*)
- **amenities** — Array of facility tags (e.g. *Garagem*)
- **description** — Snippet description from the listing card
- **imageUrl** — Direct URL to the listing thumbnail image
- **updatedText** — Recency label (e.g. *Há 2 semanas*)
- **clickUrl** — Outbound tracking link (to the originating portal)
- **searchUrl** — The Mitula search page the listing was found on

### Supported search URLs

| Search type | Example URL |
| --- | --- |
| Houses for sale | `https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/casas` |
| Apartments for sale | `https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/apartamentos` |
| City-specific houses | `https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/casas-sao-paulo` |
| City-specific apartments | `https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/apartamentos-rio-de-janeiro` |

### How to use

1. Open the Actor in [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/).
2. Paste one or more **Mitula Imóveis search URLs** into the **Start URLs** field.
3. Set **Maximum items** to control how many listings to collect per URL.
4. Keep **Proxy configuration** enabled with **residential** proxies and **Brazil** country (default).
5. Click **Start**. Results appear in the **Dataset** tab as JSON or CSV.

#### Example start URLs

```
https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/casas
https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/apartamentos
https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/casas-sao-paulo
https://imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/casas-rio-de-janeiro
```

#### Pagination

The Actor automatically follows Mitula's `?page=2`, `?page=3`, … pagination until it has collected the requested number of items or no more results are available.

- Base image: `apify/actor-node:20`

### Frequently asked questions

**Does the Actor visit individual property portals?**
No. Mitula embeds all listing metadata in its search-result cards. The Actor never navigates to the third-party portal links.

**Can I scrape multiple searches at once?**
Yes — add multiple URLs to the *Start URLs* field. Each URL gets its own independent `maxItems` counter.

**Why do I need a residential proxy?**
Mitula Imóveis returns *Access Denied* for requests from datacenter IPs. Brazilian residential proxies (the default) work reliably.

**Will it work for city-specific searches?**
Yes — any valid search URL under `imoveis.mitula.com.br/imoveis/` is supported.
