## 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.

# README

## Mitula Chile Homes Scraper

Extract rental and for-sale property listings from [Mitula Casas Chile](https://casas.mitula.cl/) — a leading real-estate aggregator that collects listings from hundreds of Chilean portals and classified sites into a single search interface.

### What does this Actor do?

The **Mitula Chile Homes Scraper** crawls Mitula Casas 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, size, description, and images — 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 for the property
- **title** — Listing headline as shown on the card
- **propertyType** — Property category (e.g. *Departamentos*, *Casas*)
- **operationType** — Listing operation (`sell` or `rent`)
- **priceText** — Raw price string as shown on the page (e.g. *$ 2,850* in UF or CLP)
- **price** — Parsed numeric price value
- **currency** — Currency code (typically CLF/UF or CLP)
- **location** — Neighbourhood or area label from the card
- **city** — City name (e.g. *Santiago*, *Las Condes*)
- **region** — Region (e.g. *Metropolitana de Santiago*)
- **neighbourhood** — Neighbourhood when available
- **bedrooms** — Number of bedrooms (dormitorios)
- **bathrooms** — Number of bathrooms (baños)
- **sizeSqM** — Floor area in square metres
- **sizeText** — Raw size string (e.g. *47 m²*)
- **features** — Array of amenity/feature tags shown on the card
- **description** — Snippet description from the listing card
- **imageUrl** — Primary listing thumbnail image
- **imageUrls** — Gallery image URLs when multiple photos are shown
- **updatedText** — Recency label (e.g. listing date or source portal)
- **clickUrl** — Outbound tracking link (to the originating portal)
- **searchUrl** — The Mitula search page the listing was found on

### How to use

1. Open the Actor in [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/).
2. Paste one or more **Mitula Casas Chile search URLs** into the **Start URLs** field.
3. Set **Maximum items** to control how many listings to collect per URL.
4. Enable **Proxy configuration** with Apify **residential** proxies and **Chile (CL)** country — datacenter IPs are often blocked.
5. Click **Start**. Results appear in the **Dataset** tab as JSON or CSV.

#### Example start URLs

```
https://casas.mitula.cl/casas/departamentos
https://casas.mitula.cl/casas/casas
https://casas.mitula.cl/casas/arriendo-santiago
https://casas.mitula.cl/casas/venta-valparaiso
https://casas.mitula.cl/casas/arriendo-concepcion
```

#### 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.

### Output example

```json
{
  "id": "01a016a6-90c9-7447-b117-ef76422970fb",
  "title": "Venta Depto. 2 D-1 B/ 1E -1B San Eugenio-Ñuñoa",
  "propertyType": "Departamentos",
  "operationType": "sell",
  "priceText": "$ 2,850",
  "price": 2850,
  "currency": "CLF",
  "location": "Lo Encalada, Ñuñoa",
  "city": "Ñuñoa",
  "region": "Metropolitana de Santiago",
  "neighbourhood": "Lo Encalada",
  "bedrooms": 2,
  "bathrooms": 1,
  "sizeSqM": 47,
  "sizeText": "47 m²",
  "features": ["2 Dormitorios", "1 Baño", "47 m²"],
  "description": null,
  "imageUrl": "https://img.mitula.com/...",
  "imageUrls": ["https://img.mitula.com/..."],
  "updatedText": "Hace 11 horas en - REMAX Realty II",
  "clickUrl": "https://casas.mitula.cl/adform/...",
  "searchUrl": "https://casas.mitula.cl/casas/departamentos"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Market research** — Track asking prices and inventory across Chilean cities
- **Lead generation** — Feed new listings into CRM or alerting workflows
- **Competitive analysis** — Monitor how properties are priced and positioned on aggregator SERPs
- **Data enrichment** — Combine Mitula metadata with your own property databases

### Proxy requirements

Mitula Chile uses bot protection that blocks many datacenter IPs. This Actor defaults to **Apify residential proxies** with **Chile (CL)** geolocation. If you see empty results or access errors, confirm residential proxies with CL country are enabled.

### Limitations

- Only **public** search-result data is collected — no login or account credentials required
- Homepage URLs (`https://casas.mitula.cl/`) are not valid start URLs; use `/casas/...` search pages
- `clickUrl` is a Mitula tracking redirect, not the direct portal listing URL
