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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Subito.it Scraper Collect rich Subito.it listing data from search pages, category pages, and generic marketplace URLs.

Prefer category and search-result URLs directly from Subito. - Keep URL parameters when you need exact filtering behavior. #### Start Small, Then Scale - Start with `results_wanted: 20` for quick validation. - Increase limits once your query pattern is confirmed. #### Use Proxies In Production - Residential proxies help stabilize larger runs. - Keep retries and timeouts conservative for long schedules. *** ### Proxy Configuration ```json { "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` *** ### Integrations - **Google Sheets** — Build quick listing trackers. - **Airtable** — Create searchable listing databases. - **Make** — Trigger downstream automations. - **Zapier** — Connect listing events to business tools. - **Webhooks** — Push fresh data to your systems. #### Export Formats - **JSON** — Best for APIs and custom pipelines. - **CSV** — Best for spreadsheet analysis. - **Excel** — Best for operational reporting. - **XML** — Best for legacy integrations. *** ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Can I use only keyword and location without URL? Yes. Provide `keyword` and optionally `location`, and the actor will run search extraction. #### Does the actor support category URLs? Yes. Category slugs are resolved and used to query matching listing data. #### Are empty or null fields saved? No. Output records are cleaned so null values are removed before saving. #### Can I collect thousands of records? Yes. Increase `results_wanted` and `max_pages` based on your use case and runtime constraints. #### Is proxy configuration required? Not always, but recommended for production stability and higher-volume extraction. *** ### Support For issues or feature requests, open the actor in Apify Console and use the support options there. #### Resources - [Apify Documentation](https://docs.apify.com/) - [Apify API Reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) - [Apify Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) *** ### Legal Notice This actor is intended for legitimate data collection and analytics workflows.
