## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## ERA Portugal Properties and Details Scraper

This Actor is gated because ERA Portugal's [Website Terms](https://www.era.pt/condicoes-gerais#condicoesdeutilizacaodowebsite) do not establish permission for automated listing collection and storage. The terms restrict copying and reproduction and require express authorization for site elements. No applicable authorization is recorded. The `authorizationConfirmed` input defaults to `false`; it is an operator attestation and does not grant permission.

If applicable permission is confirmed by the operator, the Actor opens the selected `www.era.pt` search page, obtains the page's anti-forgery token and session cookie, and calls the same `Property/Search` service used by the page. Requests are restricted to HTTPS `www.era.pt` search pages and redirects are refused. It does not log in, submit inquiries, access private data, or bypass an access control.

### Input

Set `authorizationConfirmed` only after reviewing the terms and confirming allowed use. Use `sourceUrl` with `https://www.era.pt/comprar` or `https://www.era.pt/arrendar`. `businessTypeIds`, `propertyTypeIds`, `searchText`, `page`, `order`, and `maxItems` bound the search. The default URL is retained for convenience, but no source request is made while the confirmation is false.

### Output

Dataset items contain only validated ERA property records with a positive listing ID, official listing and search URLs, a title, a scrape time, and at least one substantive property fact. Diagnostics and failure details are kept in `OUTPUT_SUMMARY`, never in the dataset. Missing source values are omitted rather than invented. The summary reports `SUCCEEDED/COMPLETED` for clean bounded or empty results, `FAILED/FAILED` with a nonzero native exit when no real row was saved before a failure, and `SUCCEEDED/PARTIAL` with a successful exit when real rows were saved before later failures. The terms gate reports `SUCCEEDED/SKIPPED_POLICY` with zero requests and dataset rows.

### Local development

```bash
npm test
npm run lint
apify validate-schema .actor/input_schema.json
```

Tests are offline and use mocked responses. Do not use `--purge` or run against the existing default storage; it contains one historical property row and a reconciled summary. No source request or live Actor run was made during the current audit.

# Actor input Schema

## `authorizationConfirmed` (type: `boolean`):

Required before any source request. Review ERA Portugal's current Website Terms at https://www.era.pt/condicoes-gerais#condicoesdeutilizacaodowebsite and confirm this collection and storage are permitted or that required authorization is in place. This checkbox is an operator attestation only and does not grant permission.

## `sourceUrl` (type: `string`):

ERA Portugal public search page. Only www.era.pt /comprar or /arrendar pages are accepted.

## `businessTypeIds` (type: `array`):

ERA business type IDs used by the public search service.

## `propertyTypeIds` (type: `array`):

ERA property type IDs used by the public search service.

## `searchText` (type: `string`):

Optional public location or free-text search.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of records to emit from the selected public result page.

## `page` (type: `integer`):

Public result page number.

## `order` (type: `integer`):

ERA public result ordering code.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("realestateapi/era-portugal-properties-and-details-scraper").call(input);

// 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) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("realestateapi/era-portugal-properties-and-details-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call realestateapi/era-portugal-properties-and-details-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,realestateapi/era-portugal-properties-and-details-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
