## 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.

# README

## xe.gr Scraper — Greek Real Estate API

Extract real estate listings from [xe.gr](https://www.xe.gr/property), Greece's #1 classifieds site. Returns clean structured data for both rent and sale listings: price, area, rooms, location, images, floor, year built, and more.

### What you get per listing

**Always returned (basic):**
- `listingId` — xe.gr UUID
- `url` — direct link to the listing
- `listingType` — `rent` or `sale`
- `propertyType` — apartment, maisonette, house, etc.
- `price` (EUR), `pricePerSqm` (EUR/sqm)
- `areaSqm`, `rooms`, `bathrooms`, `floor`, `yearBuilt`
- `city`, `neighbourhood`, `rawAddress`, `imageUrl`
- `scrapedAt`

**With `enrichListings: true` (full details):**
- `description` — full listing text
- `streetAddress` — exact street + number
- `postalCode`, `region` — administrative location
- `images` — full image gallery (typically 10-25 photos)
- `datePosted` — exact upload timestamp
- `renovationYear`, `energyClass` (A+ through Z)
- `airConditioning`, `furnished`, `heating`, `heatingType`
- `shortTermAvailable`, `availableFrom`
- `agentName` — listing agent or agency name

### How to use

**Easy mode (recommended):** type a Greek city or area name and pick listing type. The actor resolves it via xe.gr's own location service.

```json
{
  "location": "Athens",
  "listingType": "rent",
  "propertyCategory": "residential",
  "maxItems": 200
}
````

Other examples:

```json
{ "location": "Mykonos", "listingType": "rent", "maxItems": 50 }
{ "location": "Thessaloniki", "propertyCategory": "commercial", "maxItems": 100 }
{ "location": "Crete", "listingType": "rent", "maxItems": 200, "enrichListings": true }
```

**Power-user mode:** if you want a very specific filter (sale listings, custom price/area/room ranges, sub-neighborhood) — set your filters on [xe.gr/property](https://www.xe.gr/property), copy the results URL from your browser, paste it into `searchUrl`. This bypasses the structured inputs entirely.

```json
{
  "searchUrl": "https://www.xe.gr/property/results?...",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Sale, rent, and commercial — all supported

Pick `listingType` (`rent` or `sale`) and `propertyCategory` (`residential`, `commercial`, `land`, `parking`). Mix and match — sale residential, rent commercial, sale land, etc. all work via structured input.

### Example output

```json
{
  "listingId": "bb4109ee-5232-41e7-b423-34e95a4bc360",
  "url": "https://www.xe.gr/property/d/enoikiaseis-katoikion/bb4109ee-5232-41e7-b423-34e95a4bc360/athhna-pagkrati-1100-70",
  "listingType": "rent",
  "propertyType": "Διαμέρισμα",
  "areaSqm": 70,
  "price": 1100,
  "pricePerSqm": 16,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "rooms": 2,
  "bathrooms": 1,
  "floor": "1ος",
  "yearBuilt": 1970,
  "city": "Αθήνα",
  "neighbourhood": "Παγκράτι",
  "rawAddress": "Αθήνα (Παγκράτι) | Ενοικίαση κατοικίας",
  "imageUrl": "https://blob.cdn.xe.gr/live/.../source.jpg?width=640&height=480&format=jpg",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-05-05T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Common use cases

- **Investor monitoring** — track new listings in target neighborhoods, surface price drops, compare price/sqm trends.
- **Real-estate agencies** — pull competitor listings, monitor agent activity, build comparable-deal databases.
- **Market research** — snapshot rent vs sale supply by city, area, price band.
- **Price aggregators / portals** — feed your platform with up-to-date xe.gr inventory.

### Notes on data

- All prices are EUR. xe.gr is Greek-only, so `propertyType` and `rawAddress` are in Greek.
- `floor` is a string (Greek ordinals like `1ος`, `2ος` or `Ισόγειο` for ground floor) — not a number, because xe.gr's floor field has multiple non-numeric values.
- `yearBuilt` is filled when xe.gr exposes it (~88% of listings).
- `neighbourhood` is filled when the listing has one (~75% of listings).
- The actor uses Apify's residential proxy (Greece) to access xe.gr reliably.

### Pricing

Pay per result. See the Pricing tab for the current per-result price. You only pay for listings successfully scraped — failed pages cost nothing.

### Known limitations (v1)

- v1 takes a `searchUrl` only. v2 will add structured input (city dropdown + rent/sale + filters) for users who don't want to copy URLs from xe.gr.
- v1 does not enrich with detail-page data (full description, agent contact info, full amenities). v2 will add an optional `enrichListings` flag.

# Actor input Schema

## `location` (type: `string`):

Greek city, area, or neighborhood name (e.g. 'Athens', 'Thessaloniki', 'Mykonos', 'Crete', 'Glyfada'). The scraper resolves it via xe.gr's autocomplete. Required unless 'Search URL' is set.

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

Rent or sale.

## `propertyCategory` (type: `string`):

Type of property

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listings to return.

## `enrichListings` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, fetches each listing's detail page to add: full description, complete street address with postal code, all images (often 20+), agent or owner name, renovation year, energy class, air conditioning, furnishing status, heating type, short-term-rental availability, and exact date posted. Costs an extra detail-page fetch per listing.

## `searchUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional. Power-user override and the only way to scrape sale listings until structured-input sale ships. Paste any xe.gr property results URL — set your filters on xe.gr (city, rent/sale, price, rooms, etc.), copy from the address bar.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "location": "Athens",
  "listingType": "rent",
  "propertyCategory": "residential",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "enrichListings": false
}
```
