## 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.

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).

## Idealista Listings Scraper

Scrapes real estate listings from Idealista (Italy), filtered by a geographic polygon drawn on Idealista's map.

### Pricing

**$1.00 per 1,000 results** (billed via Apify pay-per-event at $0.001/item).

---

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchUrl` | string | Recommended | Paste any Idealista search URL with a drawn polygon (the `?shape=` parameter). Both plain and URL-encoded URLs are accepted. |
| `polygon` | array | Advanced | Alternative to `searchUrl`: polygon vertices as `[[lat, lng], ...]` (min 3 vertices). Ignored if `searchUrl` is provided. |
| `maxPages` | integer | No | Maximum number of result pages to fetch. Leave empty to fetch all pages. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum number of listings to return overall. |
| `maxItemsPerPage` | integer | No | Items per API page (default: 50, max: 50). |

#### How to get the search URL

1. Go to [idealista.it](https://www.idealista.it) and run a search
2. Click "Disegna area" (Draw area) and draw your polygon on the map
3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar — it will contain `?shape=...`
4. Paste it as `searchUrl`

#### Example input (URL-based)

```json
{
    "searchUrl": "https://www.idealista.it/aree/vendita-case/?shape=%28%28ajetG%7DnzaA...%29%29"
}
````

#### Example input (polygon coordinates)

```json
{
    "polygon": [
        [45.41617, 10.95423],
        [45.42099, 10.96149],
        [45.41780, 10.96634],
        [45.41566, 10.96264],

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchUrl": ""
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("skebby/idealista-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "searchUrl": "" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("skebby/idealista-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
