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 ## Rightmove Scraper Scrape property listings from **rightmove.co.uk** at scale. Extracts property search results and full property details — from location names, location IDs, search URLs, or direct property URLs. ### Features - **Location search** — type a location name like `"London"` and the scraper resolves it to a location ID via Rightmove's typeahead API - **Search results** — paginated scraping of the search JSON API (24/page, up to 1000 results) - **Property detail pages** — full data from the `PAGE_MODEL` JS variable (handles both plain and encoded formats) - **Auto-classification** — no need to specify input type; URLs and keywords are detected automatically ### Input The `inputs` field accepts a mixed list of any of the following: | Type | Example | |------|---------| | Location name | `London`, `Manchester`, `Bristol` | | Location ID | `REGION^87490`, `OUTCODE^1234` | | Search URL | `https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION^87490` | | Property URL | `https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/12345678` | #### Input schema ```json { "inputs": ["London", "Manchester"], "channel": "BUY", "maxResults": 100 } ```` | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `inputs` | `string[]` | required | Location names, IDs, search URLs, or property URLs | | `channel` | `"BUY"` | `"RENT"` | `"BUY"` | Used when input is a location name or ID | | `maxResults` | `integer` | `100` | Max search results per location (Rightmove API caps at 1000) | ### Output Two output types depending on input: #### Search result (`_type: "search_result"`) Returned when input is a location name, ID, or search URL. Contains the stub data from the search API. ```json { "_type": "search_result", "id": 167391443, "bedrooms": 2, "bathrooms": 1, "summary": "This well presented 2 bedroom flat...", "displayAddress": "Grafton Way, Fitzrovia, London, W1T", "location": { "latitude": 51.5233, "longitude": -0.13791 }, "price": { "amount": 900000, "currencyCode": "GBP", "displayPrices": [{"displayPrice": "£900,000"}] }, "propertySubType": "Flat", "propertyUrl": "/properties/167391443#/?channel=RES_BUY", "channel": "BUY", "customer": { "branchDisplayName": "Foxtons, Marylebone", "contactTelephone": "020 3906 1036" }, "addedOrReduced": "Reduced on 28/08/2024" } ``` #### Property detail (`_type: "property"`) Returned when input is a direct property URL. Contains full data from the `PAGE_MODEL` variable. ```json { "_type": "property", "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/167391443", "id": 167391443, "title": "2 bedroom flat for sale", "description": "This well presented 2 bedroom flat...", "price": "£900,000", "price_sqft": "£1,438 per sq. ft.", "bedrooms": 2, "bathrooms": 1, "property_type": "Flat", "transaction_type": "BUY", "address": { "displayAddress": "Grafton Way, Fitzrovia, London, W1T", "outcode": "W1T" }, "latitude": 51.5233, "longitude": -0.13791, "features": ["Lovely 2 bedroom flat", "Modern kitchen with integrated appliances"], "photos": ["https://media.rightmove.co.uk/..."], "floorplans": ["https://media.rightmove.co.uk/..."], "agent": { "id": 76585, "branch": "Marylebone", "company": "Foxtons" }, "nearest_stations": [{ "name": "Warren Street", "distance": 0.3 }], "listing_history": { "firstListedDate": "2025-09-24" }, "available": true, "archived": false } ``` ### Examples #### Search by location name ```json { "inputs": ["London", "Manchester"], "channel": "BUY", "maxResults": 50 } ``` #### Search for rentals ```json { "inputs": ["Bristol"], "channel": "RENT", "maxResults": 100 } ``` #### Use a location ID directly ```json { "inputs": ["REGION^87490"], "channel": "BUY", "maxResults": 200 } ``` #### Scrape specific property pages ```json { "inputs": [ "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/167391443", "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/155320229" ] } ``` #### Mix of inputs ```json { "inputs": [ "London", "REGION^61294", "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=REGION%5E87490", "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/167391443" ], "maxResults": 100 } ``` # Actor input Schema ## `inputs` (type: `array`): What to scrape.
