## 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).


# README

## Willhaben.at Scraper - Austrian Real Estate API

Extract real estate listings from [willhaben.at](https://www.willhaben.at/), Austria's #1 classifieds portal for property. Returns rich structured data per listing: price, area, rooms, district, postcode, GPS, balcony details, agency, full image gallery, and publication time.

### What you get per listing

- `listingId`, `url`, `apiUrl` — unique ID, direct link, and the willhaben public API URL
- `listingType` — `sale` or `rent`
- `propertyType` — willhaben's label (e.g. `Wohnung`, `Dachgeschoßwohnung`, `Haus`)
- `title`, `description` — listing headline + short teaser
- `price` (EUR, integer) and `priceText` — `priceText` keeps the published precision (e.g. `"€ 1.063,39"`), `price` is rounded to whole euros for clean filtering
- `pricePerSqm`
- `rooms`, `areaSqm`, `floor`
- `balconyAreaSqm`, `balconyType` — outdoor area in m² + type (Balkon, Terrasse, Garten, Loggia, …)
- `state`, `district`, `postcode`, `location` — Austrian Bundesland, Bezirk, PLZ, and full visible location text
- `latitude`, `longitude`
- `agencyName`, `isPrivate` — agency label, or `isPrivate: true` for private sellers
- `publishedAt` — ISO timestamp of publication
- `imageUrl`, `imageUrls[]` — cover image + full gallery
- `scrapedAt`

### How to use

**Easy mode (recommended):** type an Austrian city, pick listing type and category.

```json
{
  "city": "Vienna",
  "listingType": "sale",
  "propertyCategory": "apartment",
  "maxItems": 200
}
````

Other examples:

```json
{ "city": "Graz",      "listingType": "rent", "propertyCategory": "apartment", "maxItems": 100 }
{ "city": "Salzburg",  "listingType": "sale", "propertyCategory": "apartment", "maxItems": 50  }
{ "city": "Innsbruck", "listingType": "rent", "propertyCategory": "house",     "maxItems": 100 }
{ "city": "Linz",      "listingType": "sale", "propertyCategory": "house",     "maxItems": 50  }
```

Built-in city slugs: Vienna/Wien, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Villach, Wels, Steyr, Dornbirn, Bregenz, Feldkirch, Sankt Pölten, Eisenstadt.

**Power-user mode:** for finer filters (price range, rooms, sub-area, project type, etc.), set them on willhaben.at, copy the URL from the browser, paste into `searchUrl`. The structured inputs are bypassed.

### Common use cases

- **Investor monitoring** — track new listings across Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck; snapshot rent yields.
- **Agencies / brokers** — pull competitor inventory + agency activity for your market.
- **Market analytics** — supply, average €/m² by Bezirk, balcony/Terrasse share, private-vs-agency split.
- **Lead generation** — `isPrivate` flags FSBO sellers; `agencyName` aggregates the high-volume players.

### Data quality

In testing across Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, and Innsbruck (sample of 100+ listings, both sale and rent):

| Field | Fill rate |
|---|---|
| price, priceText, areaSqm, rooms | ~95-100% (rent "Preis auf Anfrage" listings legitimately have `price: null`) |
| location, district, postcode, state | 100% |
| latitude, longitude | 100% |
| publishedAt, agencyName, isPrivate | 100% |
| propertyType | ~95% (some commercial / Baugrundstück listings have null type) |
| imageUrl, imageUrls | ~99% |
| balconyAreaSqm, balconyType | populated when the listing has an outdoor area; null otherwise |

### Pricing

Pay per result. See the Pricing tab. Failed runs cost nothing.

### Notes

- The actor uses Apify's residential proxy (Austria) for reliable access. Transient errors trigger up to 2 automatic retries with a fresh proxy session.
- Pagination is automatic — set your desired `maxItems` and the actor walks through pages until it has enough or runs out.
- Rent listings on willhaben sometimes carry fractional prices (e.g. `€ 1.063,39`) when the rent is calculated from a service-charge split. The actor rounds these to whole euros for `price` and preserves the original in `priceText`.
- If the actor returns 0 listings, it fails loudly with a diagnostic message rather than silently succeeding — common causes are a less-common city slug (try the power-user `searchUrl` mode) or anti-bot blocks.
