## 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".

### 📖 Overview

Search PAP — France's leading **private-seller** (no agency) real-estate site — for rentals or sales by location, price, surface, rooms and bedrooms. For each listing you get the price, surface, rooms, bedrooms, DPE/energy rating, description, photos and location.

- Search with **friendly filters** — transaction, locations, property types, price, surface, rooms.
- Locations resolve **automatically** to PAP zones (cities, departments or postal codes).
- **Private-seller** listings — buy or rent directly from owners.
- Rich data — price, surface, rooms, DPE, description and all photos.
- Exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, or the Apify dataset API.
- Pay per result — no subscription.

### 🚀 How to use

1. Pick **Buy** or **Rent**, add one or more **locations** (cities, departments or postal codes), and set property types, price, surface and rooms.
2. Set **Max results** (`0` = everything).
3. Start the run.
4. Download your data from the **Storage** tab, or fetch it from the API.

### 💰 Pricing

**$0.90 per 1,000 listings.** No subscription — you pay only for the results you extract. New Apify users can try the Actor with their free monthly platform credits.

### 🛡️ Proxy and performance

- Use Apify residential proxies (country FR) for reliable runs — recommended, since pap.fr limits rapid requests.
- Start with a small **Max results** to validate your filters, then increase it.
- Add several locations in one run to cover multiple cities at once.
- The Actor paces its requests automatically to stay reliable.

### 🔌 Integrations

Run the Actor from the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), the [JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js) or [Python](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/python) clients, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets and Slack through Apify integrations. Each run's data is available as JSON or CSV via the dataset API.

### ❓ FAQ

**What makes PAP different?**

PAP (Particulier à Particulier) lists properties sold or rented **directly by owners**, with no agency fees — a great source for private-seller deals.

**How do I target a specific area?**

Add cities, departments or postal codes in **Locations** — each is resolved automatically to its PAP zone. Add several to cover multiple areas in one run.

**How fresh is the data?**

It is collected live at runtime.
