## 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.

Roomlala France Rentals Scraper extracts public room rental listings from [Roomlala.fr](https://www.roomlala.fr/). Add a city or search URL and get structured data with title, price, city, location, listing code, and listing URL.

### How to scrape Roomlala room listings

1. Open the Actor input tab.
2. Add one or more Roomlala city URLs, for example `https://www.roomlala.fr/chambre-a-louer/paris-2215`.
3. Set `maxItems` to control how many rooms are returned per URL.
4. Run the Actor and download the dataset.

The Actor only extracts public listing data. It does not require Roomlala account credentials.

### How much does scraping Roomlala cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing when monetization is enabled. You pay for each rental listing saved to the dataset, making small tests cheap and larger monitoring jobs predictable.

Apify adds scheduling, API access, dataset storage, webhooks, and integrations, so Roomlala market tracking can run automatically.
