## 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.

# README

## Finn.no Scraper

Scrape listings from [finn.no](https://www.finn.no), Norway's largest classifieds platform and job board (Schibsted group). Supports marketplace, jobs, real estate, cars, and mobility.

### How it works

1. Go to [finn.no](https://www.finn.no) and set up your search with all desired filters (category, price, location, make, model, etc.)
2. Copy the URL from your browser
3. Paste it into the **Search URLs** input
4. Run the actor

The actor extracts all listings matching your search, with automatic pagination.

### Features

- **Any filter combination** -- Whatever you can filter on finn.no, the actor can scrape
- **Multiple searches** -- Paste multiple URLs to run several searches in one run
- **Detail enrichment** -- Optionally get full description, company URL, employment type (jobs)
- **All verticals** -- Marketplace (Torget), Jobs (Jobb), Real Estate (Eiendom), Cars (Bil), Mobility
- **Fast & cheap** -- HTTP-only, 128 MB, pay-per-result

### Output

| Field | Description | Source |
|-------|-------------|--------|
| `title` | Listing title | Search |
| `price` / `currency` | Price in NOK | Search |
| `location` | City or address | Search |
| `category` | Detected vertical (marketplace/jobs/cars/realestate) | Search |
| `company_name` | Employer (jobs) or seller | Search |
| `company_url` | Employer website | Detail |
| `employment_type` | FULL_TIME, PART_TIME, etc. (jobs) | Detail |
| `image_url` | Primary image URL | Search |
| `description` | Full listing description | Detail |
| `posted_at` / `expires_at` | Publication and expiry dates | Both |
| `source_url` | Direct link on finn.no | Both |

### Pricing

No start fee -- pay only for results:

| Event | Cost |
|-------|------|
| Listing (basic) | $0.003 |
| Listing (with details) | $0.005 |

**100 listings = $0.30** (basic) or **$0.50** (with details)

### Examples

#### Cars under 200K NOK
```json
{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.finn.no/mobility/search/car?price_to=200000&registration_class=1&variant=0.801"],
  "maxResults": 50
}
````

    "https://www.finn.no/realestate/homes/search.html?q=leilighet"
  ],
  "maxResults": 200,
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 80

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 = {
    "searchUrls": [

    ],
    "maxResults": 10
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("santamaria-automations/finn-no-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) => {
