This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Metrocuadrado Scraper – Colombia Real Estate Data

Extract sale and rental listings from [Metrocuadrado.com](https://www.metrocuadrado.com), one of Colombia's largest real estate portals. Get prices, price per m², area, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, **estrato**, neighborhood, GPS coordinates, photos and, optionally, the admin fee (*administración*), building age, full amenity list and the listing agency.

Paste any Metrocuadrado search URL, or pick city, property type and filters in the input form. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pulled through the Apify API.

**Powered by [Scrape.do](https://scrape.do/?utm_source=apify\&utm_medium=actor\&utm_campaign=metrocuadrado-scraper)** – every request goes through the Scrape.do web scraping API, so you don't manage proxies, retries or blocks.

**Free to try:** your first run works without any setup and returns up to 50 listings. After that, add your free Scrape.do API token to keep scraping, with every listing plus listing details.

### What you can do with it

- Track asking prices and price per m² by city, zone, neighborhood or estrato
- Build lead lists of listings and agencies (inmobiliarias, constructoras)
- Monitor new projects (*proyectos de vivienda*) with price ranges and delivery dates
- Feed valuation models, dashboards and investment analysis with fresh data

### How to use

**Option 1 – paste URLs.** Open Metrocuadrado, choose a city, property type and the filters that appear in the URL (for example `/apartamentos/venta/bogota/chico-norte/` or `/apartamentos/venta/bogota/3-habitaciones/estrato-4/`), copy the URL and add it to **Metrocuadrado URLs**. You can also add single listing pages (`/inmueble/...` or `/proyecto/...`).

**Option 2 – use the filters.** Leave the URL list empty and choose operation (sale / rent), property types, city, price, area, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, estrato, new/used and keywords.

Set **Maximum listings** (0 = no limit) and switch on **Include listing details** if you need admin fee, building age, amenities, all photos and agency data. Both need your own Scrape.do token (see below).

#### Input example

```json
{
    "scrapeDoToken": "YOUR_SCRAPEDO_TOKEN",
    "operation": "venta",
    "propertyTypes": ["apartamento"],
    "city": "medellin",

### Pricing and your Scrape.do token

There is no per-result fee for this actor; Apify only bills its normal platform usage, which is a fraction of a cent for a typical run. Pages are fetched through the Scrape.do web scraping API:

1. **One free trial run, no token** – leave the **Scrape.do API token** field empty on your first run and you get up to 50 listings (listing details off). Good for checking the data before you sign up. Further runs need your own token.
2. **Your own Scrape.do token** – no listing limit, listing details available. Requests use your Scrape.do credits: a search uses about 1 credit per 50 listings, plus 1 credit per listing when details are on. [Create a free Scrape.do account](https://scrape.do/?utm_source=apify\&utm_medium=actor\&utm_campaign=metrocuadrado-scraper) to get a token.

### Tips

- **Large searches:** Metrocuadrado only serves the first 10,000 results of a search. When you ask for more, the actor splits the search into price bands automatically. Listings without a price may be skipped in that mode.
- **Speed:** raise **Parallel requests** if your Scrape.do plan allows more concurrency.
- **Residential proxies** are not needed for Metrocuadrado today; the option is there if that changes.

### FAQ

**Is scraping Metrocuadrado legal?** The actor collects publicly available listing data. Some listings include personal data such as a private owner's phone number. You are responsible for using the data in line with Metrocuadrado's terms and applicable law, including Colombia's personal data law (Ley 1581 de 2012) and GDPR where relevant.
