## 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

### What does XE.gr Property Scraper do?

**XE.gr Property Scraper** extracts **real estate listings** from [xe.gr](https://www.xe.gr/) — Greece's leading classifieds portal with tens of thousands of apartments and houses for rent and sale. Provide one or more property search URLs (e.g. `https://www.xe.gr/property/results`) and the scraper collects structured listing data without any coding.

### Why scrape xe.gr?

- **Market research** — Track rental and purchase prices across Greek cities and neighborhoods.
- **Portfolio monitoring** — Detect new property listings in your target areas automatically.
- **Lead generation** — Collect listings with price, size, room count and location for your pipeline.
- **Investment analysis** — Compare rent and sale listings across regions at scale.
- **Apify platform** — Schedule runs, export JSON/CSV/Excel, monitor failures, and integrate via API or Zapier.

### How to scrape xe.gr

1. Open **XE.gr Property Scraper** in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more **xe.gr property search URLs** under **Start URLs**. A search URL looks like:
   `https://www.xe.gr/property/results`
3. Set **Maximum items** to control how many listings are extracted per start URL.
4. Click **Start** and download results from the **Dataset** tab in JSON, CSV, or Excel format.

#### Supported start URL formats

- Property search results: `https://www.xe.gr/property/results`
- Category search pages: `https://www.xe.gr/property/r/enoikiaseis-katoikion`
- Individual listing pages: `https://www.xe.gr/property/d/enoikiaseis-katoikion/{id}/{slug}`

Pagination is handled automatically — the scraper follows `?page=2`, `?page=3`, etc. until `maxItems` is reached.

### Is it legal to scrape xe.gr?

This scraper only collects publicly visible listing data — the same information any visitor sees without logging in. It does not bypass authentication, access private data, or collect personal contact details. Always ensure your use of scraped data complies with applicable laws and xe.gr's Terms of Service. If in doubt, consult your legal team.
