## Pricing

from $1.20 / 1,000 property scrapeds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

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

## MagicBricks Scraper: India Property Prices & Rent

Scrape MagicBricks property listings across Indian cities — price, BHK, area, project, locality, poster and listing date. Rent or sale. Parses the site's structured schema.org data: no login, no browser, pay per property. Use it as an MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT & AI agents.

> ⚡ Part of a 74-scraper suite with 8,800+ runs · no login, no cookies, no ban risk.
>
> 💸 You are only charged for delivered results — empty searches, failed pages and duplicates are never billed.

### What it does

MagicBricks is one of India's two largest property portals. This actor reads its public
listing surface and returns one clean record per property: a stable property id, the listing
title, whether it is for rent or sale, the numeric price with currency, BHK count, property type,
built-up area in square feet, the named project or society, locality, city, who posted it, the
listing and expiry timestamps, and a canonical URL.

Price and area come back as numbers, not display strings, so you can sort and aggregate without
parsing "₹50,000" or "1,240 sqft" first.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `city` | string | no | `"Bangalore"` | Indian city name, e.g. Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune. |
| `listingType` | string | no | `"RENT"` | Rent or sale listings. |
| `bedrooms` | array | no | `["2"]` | BHK counts to search, e.g. 2 and 3. Each is a separate search page. |
| `maxResults` | integer | no | `10` | Maximum properties to return. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "city": "Bangalore",
  "listingType": "RENT",
  "bedrooms": [
    "2"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10
}
````

### Output

One record per property. Field list and example below are taken from a real run, not a mock-up.

| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `property_id` | string | `"4d423632373632343835"` |
| `title` | string | `"2 BHK Apartment for Rent in Rajajinagar Ba…` |
| `listing_type` | string | `"RENT"` |
| `price` | number | `50000` |
| `price_currency` | string | `"INR"` |
| `bhk` | number | `2` |
| `property_type` | string | `"Apartment"` |
| `area_sqft` | number | `1240` |
| `project` | string | `"Puravankara Purva Sunflower"` |
| `locality` | string | `"Rajajinagar"` |
| `city` | string | `"Bangalore"` |
| `posted_by` | string | `"Salman"` |
| `listed_at` | string | `"2026-07-26T23:45:22.000Z"` |
| `expires_at` | string | `"2026-09-24T23:45:22.000Z"` |
| `url` | string | `"https://www.magicbricks.com/propertyDetail…` |
| `scraped_at` | string | `"2026-07-27T08:24:12.230Z"` |

#### Example output

```json
{
  "property_id": "4d423632373632343835",
  "title": "2 BHK Apartment for Rent in Rajajinagar Bangalore",
  "listing_type": "RENT",
  "price": 50000,
  "price_currency": "INR",
  "bhk": 2,
  "property_type": "Apartment",
  "area_sqft": 1240,
  "project": "Puravankara Purva Sunflower",
  "locality": "Rajajinagar",
  "city": "Bangalore",
  "posted_by": "Salman",
  "listed_at": "2026-07-26T23:45:22.000Z",
  "expires_at": "2026-09-24T23:45:22.000Z",
  "url": "https://www.magicbricks.com/propertyDetails/2-BHK-1240-Sq-ft-Multistorey-Apartment-FOR-Rent-Rajaji-Nagar-in-Bangalore&id=4d423632373632343835",
  "scraped_at": "2026-07-27T08:24:12.230Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Rental yield analysis** — pull rent and sale listings for the same locality and compute gross yield per BHK band.
- **Locality price tracking** — run weekly to build a time series of asking prices per locality and project.
- **Project-level supply monitoring** — the `project` field groups listings by named development, showing how much inventory a builder has live.
- **Broker versus owner mix** — `posted_by` reveals how much of a market's supply is intermediated.
- **Relocation and site-selection research** — compare price per square foot across cities on a like-for-like BHK basis.

### FAQ

#### Which cities are covered?

Any city MagicBricks itself lists. The city is an input, so coverage matches the portal's own.

#### Rent or sale?

Both — set `listingType`. Every record also carries `listing_type` so mixed datasets stay unambiguous.

#### Is `area_sqft` the carpet area or the built-up area?

It is the area MagicBricks displays on the listing, which is normally built-up. The portal does not consistently label which basis a given lister used, so the value is passed through rather than relabelled.

#### Why does the title format vary between runs?

MagicBricks serves different title formats to different exit IPs. The parser handles both known formats and fills `locality` and `city` from the request context rather than trusting the title, so the structured fields stay correct either way.

### Billing

Pay per event: one `property-scraped` event per delivered record, charged only **after** the record is validated and stored. Empty results, blocked pages and duplicates are never charged. Store discounts apply automatically on paid Apify plans.

### Use in Claude, ChatGPT & any MCP agent

This actor runs as an MCP server, so an AI agent can call it directly:

```
https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/magicbricks-scraper
```

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("themineworks/magicbricks-scraper").call(run_input={"city": "Bangalore", "listingType": "RENT", "bedrooms": ["2"], "maxResults": 10})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

### Legal and compliance

This actor collects only publicly available information — the same data any visitor can see without logging in. It does not access private or authenticated areas, does not attempt to bypass paywalls, and collects no personal data beyond what the source already publishes openly. You are responsible for using the output in line with the source site's terms and with the data protection law that applies to you.
