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?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Ohne-Makler Rent Index Scraper

Retrieve an Ohne-Makler Mietspiegel by city and state slug. The record contains rent-reference sections, tables, available chart information, and locality details.

### What data can you extract?

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `success` | Boolean | True when the Ohne-Makler request returned a successful response. |
| `market` | String | Report type identifying the local residential rent index. |
| `state` | String | The source location name or code used to place this rent index on Ohne-Makler. |
| `city` | String | The source location name or code used to place this rent index on Ohne-Makler. |
| `title` | String | Name or title assigned to this Ohne-Makler rent index. |
| `intro` | String | Introductory text describing the rent index coverage and market. |
| `sections` | Array\<Object> | Ordered Ohne-Makler report sections with headings, rent or price tables, chart labels, and region rows. |
| `input_city` | Object | City and state slugs supplied for this rent-index lookup. |
| `scraped_at` | String | UTC ISO 8601 timestamp when this dataset record was collected. |

### Use cases

- Renters can review local rent reference tables before comparing housing costs.
- Property owners can compare city-level rent figures across German markets.
- Housing analysts can build a dataset of rent-index sections by city.

### How to use

1. Add each city and its state slug to `cities`.
2. Set `maxResults` to cap the number of city reports saved.
3. Export each Mietspiegel response as one dataset record.

```json
{
  "cities": [
    {
      "city": "berlin",
      "state": "berlin"
    }
  ],
  "maxResults": 1
}
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cities` | Array\<object> | Yes | City and state slugs used to look up an Ohne-Makler rent index. |
| `cities[].city` | string | Yes per entry | City slug (e.g. abtsgmund). |
| `cities[].state` | string | Yes per entry | Bundesland slug (e.g. baden-wurttemberg). |
| `state` | string | No | Bundesland slug (e.g. baden-wurttemberg). |
| `maxResults` | integer | No | Maximum dataset items to save across this entire run. |

### Pricing

$0.50 per 1,000 results. Apify saves one dataset item per result and applies the Actor’s per-result price to saved items.

Set **maxResults** to cap the number of dataset items saved in one run.

### FAQ

#### Is scraping this information legal?

Rules depend on the source, location, data type, and intended use. Check applicable laws and source terms, and make sure your workflow follows privacy and data protection requirements.

#### What limits apply?

Submit up to 100 batch entries per run. Use **maxResults** to cap saved items. Results also depend on source availability and your Scrappa API plan.

#### Can I start runs through the Apify API?

Yes. Send a POST request to `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thescrappa~ohne-makler-rent-index-scraper/runs` with your Actor input, or use an Apify client library. Read the output from the run dataset.

#### Can I connect the results to other tools?

Yes. Apify integrations and APIs can pass dataset results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, and other data workflows.

#### What happens when one input fails?

The Actor logs a short source error and continues with the remaining entries. Transient rate limits and gateway errors are retried; if every entry fails, the run reports an error.

#### Why does every city need a state?

The source identifies Mietspiegel pages with both a city slug and its state slug, so include both values in each batch entry.
