## 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

## ForRent.com Properties and Details Scraper

CSV rank: **729**. Store listing: [memo23/forrent-com-scraper](https://apify.com/memo23/forrent-com-scraper).

### Current status

The Actor is authorization-gated. Its default input path emits `AUTHORIZATION_REQUIRED` in the KVS summary with zero source requests and no dataset rows. No applicable written authorization is recorded for this review. The checkbox is an operator attestation only and does not grant or verify permission.

The ForRent.com Terms limit Materials to personal, noncommercial use, require prior written consent for other purposes, and prohibit automated or manual copying for unauthorized purposes. When appropriate permission is available, the retained parser can extract property ID, title, type, rent, bedrooms, bathrooms, floor area, address, coordinates, amenities, photos, floor plans, and contact evidence from explicitly supplied pages. It uses direct HTTP requests only and does not bypass access controls. Only verified property rows enter the dataset; run status and failure details stay in `OUTPUT_SUMMARY`.

The run summary reports `SUCCEEDED/COMPLETED` for clean bounded or empty runs, `SUCCEEDED/PARTIAL` when rows were saved before a later failure, `FAILED/FAILED` when failures occurred without saved rows, and `SUCCEEDED/SKIPPED_POLICY` for the default policy gate. Failed runs use a nonzero native exit code.

### Offline validation

```powershell
apify validate-schema
node --check src/forrent.js
npm test
```

Do not run live collection without applicable written permission. See [BROWSER_REVIEW.md](BROWSER_REVIEW.md).

## `location` (type: `string`):

Optional location retained for caller workflows.

## `minBedrooms` (type: `integer`):

Optional caller-side bedroom filter.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Maximum public pages to fetch.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum rental records emitted across pages.

## `timeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

# 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/forrent-com-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/forrent-com-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/forrent-com-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/forrent-com-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).
