## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Aruodas Scraper

Extract real estate listings from [Aruodas.lt](https://www.aruodas.lt), Lithuania's largest and most popular property portal. Aruodas aggregates tens of thousands of active listings from agencies, developers, and private sellers across all Lithuanian cities and regions.

### Why use this actor?

Aruodas.lt dominates the Lithuanian real estate market, covering apartments, houses, land plots, and commercial properties. This actor lets you collect structured property data at scale — prices, areas, rooms, floors, locations, images, and descriptions — without manual browsing or login requirements.

Use cases include:

- **Market analysis**: Track property prices across Lithuanian cities and neighborhoods
- **Investment research**: Compare real estate opportunities in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda, and beyond
- **Relocation planning**: Find apartments or houses in specific Lithuanian cities
- **Price monitoring**: Watch price changes for specific property types over time
- **Academic research**: Collect housing data for statistical analysis
- **Portfolio tracking**: Monitor rental yields and property valuations

### How to scrape Aruodas data

1. Go to the actor's page on the Apify Store
2. Enter a Lithuanian city name (e.g., "Vilnius", "Kaunas", "Klaipeda") or paste an Aruodas.lt search URL
3. Choose listing type (sale or rent) and property type (apartment, house, plot, commercial)
4. Set the maximum number of results you want
5. Click "Start" to run the scraper
6. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel when complete

The actor handles Aruodas.lt's Cloudflare protection automatically using residential proxies and browser fingerprinting. No login or cookies are needed.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | String | No | City or region to search, e.g., "Vilnius", "Kaunas", "Klaipeda". Defaults to "Vilnius". |

| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings. Residential proxies recommended — configured by default. |

You can paste any Aruodas.lt URL directly:

- Search results page: `https://www.aruodas.lt/butai/vilniuje/`
- Filtered search: `https://www.aruodas.lt/butai/kaune/nuomai/`
- Individual listing: `https://www.aruodas.lt/butai-vilnius-senamiestis-example-1-12345/`

    "area": 65.5,
    "rooms": 2,
    "floor": "3/5",

    "imageUrl": "https://img.dgn.lt/photos/example.jpg",
    "url": "https://www.aruodas.lt/butai-vilnius-senamiestis-pilies-g-1-12345/",
    "listingDescription": "Parduodamas 2 kambarių butas Vilniaus senamiestyje...",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-09T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Supported cities

The actor supports all Lithuanian cities and regions. Common search queries:

| City | Query |
|------|-------|
| Vilnius | `Vilnius` |
| Kaunas | `Kaunas` |
| Klaipeda | `Klaipeda` |
| Siauliai | `Siauliai` |
| Panevezys | `Panevezys` |
| Alytus | `Alytus` |
| Marijampole | `Marijampole` |
| Utena | `Utena` |
| Telsiai | `Telsiai` |
| Taurage | `Taurage` |

You can also search for districts or neighborhoods by using start URLs with specific Aruodas.lt search filters applied.

### Proxy configuration

Aruodas.lt uses Cloudflare protection. Residential proxies are recommended for reliable results. The default configuration uses Apify Residential proxies, which work well for this site.

If you experience blocks or empty results, try:

- Using residential proxies with Lithuanian geolocation
- Reducing `maxResults` to scrape in smaller batches
- Lowering concurrency (already set to 1 by default)

### Limitations

- The actor extracts publicly available data only — no login or authentication required
- Results depend on Aruodas.lt's current availability and page structure
- Very large scraping jobs (10,000+ listings) may take longer due to rate limiting
- Some listing details may be unavailable if the seller has not filled in all fields

### Integrations

This actor can be connected to other services through the Apify platform:

- **Google Sheets**: Export results directly to a spreadsheet
- **Slack / Email**: Get notifications when new listings match your criteria
- **Webhooks**: Trigger downstream workflows when scraping completes
- **API**: Access results programmatically via the Apify API
- **Zapier / Make**: Connect to 5000+ other apps

### Cost estimation

Running this actor on the Apify platform costs approximately:

- **10 listings**: ~$0.05 (under 1 minute)
- **100 listings**: ~$0.25 (2-5 minutes)
- **1,000 listings**: ~$2.00 (15-30 minutes)

Costs vary based on proxy usage and retry rates. Residential proxy traffic is the primary cost driver.

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
