## 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

## Rightmove Commercial Scraper

Extract commercial property listings from Rightmove.co.uk, the UK's largest property portal. Covers offices, retail units, industrial and logistics space, and land for sale or to let, with full pricing, floor areas, tenure, and agent contact details.

### What does this actor do?

You give it a UK location (or a Rightmove commercial search URL), pick sale or letting, and optionally narrow to a segment such as offices or industrial. It returns structured JSON for every listing: headline, address, price with its quote unit, floor area, tenure, planning use classes, full description, key features, photos, and the marketing agent with phone number.

### Why use it?

- **Market research.** Track asking prices and rents per sq ft across UK cities and segments.
- **Site sourcing.** Feed a shortlist of warehouses, shops, or plots into your own pipeline instead of paging through search results by hand.
- **Agent prospecting.** Every record includes the marketing agent and phone number.
- **Investment screening.** Descriptions carry yields, lease terms, and covenant details for investment sales.

Commercial listings quote prices in several ways (per annum, per calendar month, per sq ft, or POA). This actor keeps that intact: the parsed number, the original display string, and the quote unit are separate fields, and POA listings get a null price instead of a made-up number.

### Input options

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `searchQuery` | string | (empty) | UK location, e.g. `London`, `Manchester`, `Leeds`. Resolved through Rightmove's own location lookup. If empty and no start URLs are set, the actor searches London. |
| `listingType` | string | `sale` | `sale` (commercial property for sale) or `rent` (to let). |
| `segment` | string | `any` | `office`, `retail`, `industrial`, `land`, or `any`. Filters using Rightmove's own property-type filter. |
| `startUrls` | array | (empty) | Rightmove commercial search result URLs, as an alternative to `searchQuery`. Max 20. |
| `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Hard cap on returned listings (1 to 1,000). Rightmove itself caps a single search at roughly 1,000 results, so narrow the location or segment for full coverage of a large market. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential, GB | Residential UK proxy recommended. Rightmove throttles datacenter IPs at volume. |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQuery": "Manchester",
    "listingType": "rent",
    "segment": "industrial",
    "maxResults": 50

### How to scrape Rightmove commercial property data

1. Open the actor on the Apify platform and press **Try for free**.
2. Enter a UK location in **Search Location** (for example `Birmingham`).
3. Pick **For Sale** or **To Let**, and optionally a segment such as **Offices**.
4. Set **Max Results** and run. Results land in the dataset as JSON, downloadable as CSV, Excel, or via the API.

You can also skip the location box and paste Rightmove commercial search URLs into **Start URLs**. That lets you use any filter combination Rightmove's own search supports.

### Cost estimate

Pricing is pay per event: $0.005 per actor start plus $0.002 per listing. A 100-listing run costs about $0.21 in events plus a small amount of Apify platform usage (the actor fetches one search page per 24 listings and one detail page per listing, on residential proxy). In practice expect roughly 350 to 450 results per $1.

Note for cost tracking: a run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED. Reading costs from a run that is still in progress shows a fraction of the final figure.

### Limitations

- Rightmove caps any single search at roughly 1,000 listings. For complete coverage of a large market, run several narrower searches (per city or per segment).
- POA listings (price on application) have `price: null` by design. Rightmove does not publish a price for them, so the actor does not invent one.
- Rent quote units vary by listing (`pcm`, `pa`, `per sq ft`). Always read `priceUnit` next to `price` before aggregating rents.
- The `segment` filter uses Rightmove's own property-type filter. Leisure (hotels, pubs, restaurants) is only included when segment is `any`.
- Listings data comes from Rightmove's public search pages. If Rightmove changes its page structure, some fields may go empty until the actor is updated.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

UK location to search (e.g. 'London', 'Manchester', 'Leeds'). Resolved via Rightmove's own location lookup. Leave empty to use Start URLs; if both are empty the actor searches London.

## `listingType` (type: `string`):

Commercial property for sale or to let.

## `segment` (type: `string`):

Commercial segment to filter on. 'Any' returns all commercial listings including leisure and mixed use.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Rightmove commercial search result pages, as an alternative to Search Location. Example: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/commercial-property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490\&radius=0.0\&index=0\&channel=COMMERCIAL\_BUY

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listings to return. Rightmove caps a single search at roughly 1,000 listings; narrow the location or segment to get more.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Residential UK proxy recommended — Rightmove throttles datacenter IPs at volume (see docs/site-recon/rightmove-commercial.md).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "London",
  "listingType": "sale",
  "segment": "any",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "GB"
  }
}
```

```

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).
