## 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".

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which countries does the Encuentra24 scraper cover?**
It works across the Encuentra24 country sites for Central America, including Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. Pick the market by pasting a search URL from the matching country site, for example a panama-es or costa-rica-es real estate search.
**How many listings can I collect per run?**
There is no hard limit imposed by the actor. A single real estate search on Encuentra24 can span well over a thousand pages with 20 listings each, so you can collect tens of thousands of records. Use the Max Items input to cap the run when you only need a sample.
**Can I filter by operation, property type, location or price?**
Yes. Apply any filters directly on Encuentra24, then copy the resulting search URL into the actor input. All filters encoded in the URL, including sale or rent, property type, area, bedrooms and price range, are respected automatically.
**What is the difference between the basic and detailed output?**
By default the actor returns the listing-level fields visible on the results page. When you enable Fetch listing details, each record is enriched with the full description, the complete photo gallery, amenities, the seller name, company, license number and map coordinates when available.
**Does the actor return the seller phone number?**
The actor returns the seller name, company and license number in plain text, plus a phoneAvailable flag. Encuentra24 obfuscates the actual phone and WhatsApp digits in the page and only reveals them after a click on the listing, so the raw number is not published in a usable form and the actor does not guess it.
**What happens if a listing is missing some data?**
The actor keeps the record and leaves any unavailable field empty rather than failing. Land and beach lots often have no bedroom or bathroom counts, and some listings do not expose map coordinates, so those fields can be empty for specific records.
