## 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.

# README

## Pincali Real Estate Scraper

Extract Mexican real estate listings from Pincali for market research, pricing analysis, and property monitoring. Collect listing titles, prices, locations, property features, images, and source links from Pincali search pages.

### Features

- **Pincali listing extraction** - Collect property data from sale, rent, and category search URLs.
- **Pagination support** - Continue through result pages until your result limit or page cap is reached.
- **Image galleries** - Capture gallery image URLs available on the result page.
- **Clean dataset** - Empty fields are removed from each saved item.

### Use Cases

#### Market Research
Compare asking prices across Mexican states, cities, and property types. Track which areas have the most active inventory and how prices differ by category.

#### Lead Sourcing
Build a property list with listing URLs, images, bedrooms, bathrooms, and location details. Use the results for qualification, outreach planning, or CRM enrichment.

#### Price Monitoring
Run the scraper on the same search URL over time to monitor new listings and price movement. This helps analysts spot changing supply in selected markets.

### Tips for Best Results

#### Use Specific URLs

- Start with filtered Pincali URLs for cities, property types, or sale/rent pages.
- Keep `max_pages` modest for quick test runs.

#### Choose Practical Limits

- Use `20` results for QA or sampling.
- Increase `results_wanted` for larger market snapshots.

***

### Integrations

- **Google Sheets** - Review listings in spreadsheets.
- **Airtable** - Build searchable property databases.
- **Webhooks** - Send new runs to your own tools.
- **Zapier** - Trigger workflows from completed runs.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Can I scrape any Pincali search URL?

Yes. Use a Pincali listing or search URL in `startUrl`, including sale, rent, category, and city pages.

#### Does the scraper remove empty values?

Yes. Empty, null, and undefined values are not saved in dataset items.

#### Can I collect more than one page?

Yes. Set `max_pages` and `results_wanted` high enough to continue through pagination.

#### What if a field is missing?

Some listings do not publish every field, so only available values are saved.
