## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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
## Idealista Scraper
Scrapes property listings from [idealista.com](https://www.idealista.com) (Spain, Portugal, Italy).
### Features
- Extracts price, size (m2), rooms, bathrooms, floor, address, features, agency, photos, GPS coordinates
- Handles DataDome anti-bot via Playwright stealth + residential proxies
- Supports sale and rental listings for: apartments, houses, commercial, garages
- Paginates through search results
- Optional detail page scraping for full listing data
### Input
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `search_urls` | array | — | Idealista search URLs |
| `operation` | string | `venta-viviendas` | Operation type |
| `location` | string | — | Location slug (e.g., `madrid-madrid`) |
| `max_pages` | integer | 5 | Max pages per search (0 = all) |
| `max_listings` | integer | 0 | Max total listings (0 = unlimited) |
| `scrape_details` | boolean | true | Visit detail pages for full data |
| `proxy_config` | object | Residential | Apify proxy config |
### Example
```json
{
"search_urls": ["https://www.idealista.com/venta-viviendas/madrid-madrid/"],
"max_pages": 3,
"scrape_details": true
}
````
### Output fields
id, title, price, currency, price\_per\_m2, size\_m2, rooms, bathrooms, floor,
address, district, city, province, latitude, longitude, property\_type, operation,
has\_elevator, has\_parking, has\_terrace, has\_garden, has\_pool, air\_conditioning,
energy\_cert, condition, agency, phone, description, url, photos
### Anti-bot notes
Idealista uses DataDome. This actor requires **residential proxies** for reliable operation.
Without them, you'll get blocked after a few requests. The actor includes:
- Stealth Playwright (no webdriver flag, realistic fingerprint)
- Randomized delays (2-6s between pages)
- DataDome challenge detection with auto-retry
- Country-matched locale and timezone
### Cost estimate
With Apify residential proxies (~$12.50/GB):
- \~50 listings per search page
- \~3 pages = ~150 listings for ~$0.10-0.15
### Limitations
- DataDome may still block after extended scraping sessions
- Phone numbers sometimes require clicking a button (not always in HTML)
- GPS coordinates depend on the listing having a map widget
# Actor input Schema
## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):
One or more Idealista search result page URLs. Copy the URL directly from your browser after filtering by zone, type, and price.
Examples:
• https://www.idealista.com/venta-viviendas/madrid-madrid/
• https://www.idealista.com/alquiler-viviendas/barcelona-barcelona/
• https://www.idealista.pt/comprar-casas/lisboa/
## `maxListings` (type: `integer`):
Maximum total listings to extract across all URLs. Set to 0 for unlimited.
Start with a low value (10–30) for your first run.
## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):
Maximum listing pages to scrape per URL (~30 listings/page). Set to 0 for all pages.
## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):
Visit each listing's detail page to extract full data: GPS coordinates, all features (parking, terrace, pool…), photos, energy certificate, and full description.
⚠️ Uses 2–4× more requests and time. Recommended for data analysis use cases.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):
Residential proxies are required for Idealista — it uses DataDome anti-bot. The default config uses Apify Residential (Spain), which works reliably.
## `scrapflyApiKey` (type: `string`):
Optional — provide your own Scrapfly API key to use your own quota instead of the built-in one.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"searchUrls": [
"https://www.idealista.com/venta-viviendas/madrid-madrid/"
],
"maxListings": 10,
"maxPages": 3,
"scrapeDetails": false,
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": true,
"apifyProxyGroups": [
"RESIDENTIAL"
],
"apifyProxyCountry": "ES"
}
}
```
# Actor output Schema
## `results` (type: `string`):

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {

}
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("rastriq/idealista-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item)
