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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## LoopNet UK Scraper - Commercial Property Listings Scrape commercial property listings from **LoopNet.co.uk**, the UK's leading commercial real estate marketplace. Extract offices, industrial units, retail spaces, and co-working locations for rent or sale — with prices, floor areas, brokers, agents, photos, and full listing descriptions. No login, no cookies, no setup. Pick a city and a transaction type, and get structured JSON, CSV, or Excel output in minutes. ### What data does it extract? Every listing includes: | Field | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | `listingId` | LoopNet listing identifier | `30516975` | | `name` | Property name or street address | `Exchange Quay Campus - 1 Exchange Quay` | | `addressLine` | Locality and postcode | `Manchester, M5 3EA` | | `postcode` | UK postcode | `M5 3EA` | | `transactionType` | `rent` or `sale` | `rent` | | `propertyType` | Office, Industrial, Retail, Co-working, ... | `Office` | | `priceText` | Price as listed | `£20.00 - £24.00 sq ft pa` | | `priceMin` / `priceMax` | Parsed price bounds (GBP) | `20` / `24` | | `priceUnit` | Pricing basis | `per sq ft per annum` | | `sizeText` | Floor area as listed | `4,140 - 57,091 sq ft` | | `sizeMinSqFt` / `sizeMaxSqFt` | Parsed area bounds | `4140` / `57091` | | `availability` | Availability note | `6 Spaces Available Now` | | `broker` | Brokerage / listing organisation | `Till Asset Management` | | `agent` | Listing agent name | `Nathan Lang` | | `features` | Feature tags | `Air Conditioning, Raised Floor, ...` | | `headline` | Marketing headline | `Manchester Office to Rent` | | `propertyDescription` | Full listing card description | `Welcome to Exchange Quay...` | | `imageUrl` | Primary listing photo | `https://images.loopnet.co.uk/...` | | `url` | Direct link to the listing | `https://www.loopnet.co.uk/listing/...` | ### How to scrape LoopNet UK data 1. Choose a **transaction type**: for rent (to let) or for sale. 2. Enter a **location** — a UK city name like `london`, `manchester`, `birmingham`, `leeds`, `glasgow`, or `united kingdom` for a country-wide search. 3. Set **max results** (each search page carries ~22 listings). 4. Run the actor and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the dataset tab. That's it. The actor handles the site's bot protection and pagination automatically. #### Example input ```json { "transaction": "rent", "location": "london", "maxResults": 100 } ```` #### Using search URLs directly Prefer to fine-tune the search on the website? Apply your filters on loopnet.co.uk (property type, size, price, submarket) and paste the result URL into `startUrls`: ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.loopnet.co.uk/search/commercial-property/london-england--united-kingdom/for-rent/" } ], "maxResults": 200 } ``` All filters in the URL are preserved. #### Supported locations Major UK cities are recognised by name: London, City of London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle, Nottingham, Leicester, Coventry, Bradford, Cardiff, Aberdeen, Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton, Reading. A handful of EU cities on the same platform work too: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia. You can also pass any location slug taken from a loopnet.co.uk URL (the part between `/commercial-property/` and `/for-rent/`), which covers every town and submarket on the site. #### Example output ```json { "listingId": "30516975", "name": "Exchange Quay Campus - 1 Exchange Quay", "addressLine": "Manchester, M5 3EA", "postcode": "M5 3EA", "transactionType": "rent", "propertyType": "Office", "priceText": "£20.00 - £24.00 sq ft pa", "priceMin": 20, "priceMax": 24, "priceUnit": "per sq ft per annum", "currency": "GBP", "sizeText": "4,140 - 57,091 sq ft", "sizeMinSqFt": 4140, "sizeMaxSqFt": 57091, "availability": "6 Spaces Available Now", "broker": "Till Asset Management", "agent": "Nathan Lang", "features": ["Air Conditioning", "Natural Light", "Raised Floor"], "headline": "Manchester Office to Rent", "url": "https://www.loopnet.co.uk/listing/1-exchange-quay-manchester/30516975/" } ``` ### Use cases - **Market research** — track asking rents and sale prices per city, submarket, or property type. - **Lead generation** — collect broker and agent contacts behind active listings. - **Investment sourcing** — monitor new industrial, office, or retail stock across the UK. - **Portfolio benchmarking** — compare your asking prices against the live market. - **PropTech products** — feed UK commercial availability into your own tools and dashboards. ### Why this scraper? - **No login or cookies needed** — runs out of the box, nothing to configure. - **Structured prices and sizes** — raw strings plus parsed numeric bounds and units, ready for analysis. - **Broker and agent names included** — extracted from the listing's structured data. - **Handles heavy bot protection** — loopnet.co.uk blocks plain scrapers; this actor ships with a built-in unblocking layer. - **Pagination built in** — set `maxResults` and the actor walks the result pages for you. ### Pricing This actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay a small fee per actor start and per result returned. A 100-listing run costs well under a dollar. There are no subscriptions and no minimums — try it with a handful of results first. ### FAQ **Does it scrape loopnet.com (US) too?** No. This actor targets loopnet.co.uk, the UK platform. The US site has a different structure. **Can I filter by property type or size?** Yes — apply the filters on loopnet.co.uk and pass the resulting URL via `startUrls`. Name-based city search returns all commercial property types. **How fresh is the data?** Every run fetches live pages. You get whatever is listed at the moment the run executes. **How many listings can I get per run?** A large city like London exposes roughly 480 listings per transaction type (~22 pages). Country-wide searches go much deeper. Requests are paced to respect the site, so very large runs take proportionally longer. **Is this legal?** The actor only collects publicly visible listing data — no login, no personal accounts, no paywalled content. You are responsible for how you use the data; check applicable laws and the site's terms for your use case. ### Related actors Looking for residential or other European property data?
