## 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

## 99acres Scraper

> **Thirdwatch portfolio:** 8,800+ users across 140+ public Actors, 2M+ records delivered, >95% run success. [Explore all Thirdwatch Actors](https://apify.com/thirdwatch).

> Scrape rent, buy, PG, and commercial property listings from 99acres — India's largest property portal — with 40+ fields per listing including price, BHK, carpet area, coordinates, RERA ID, and amenities.

### Quick start

Open the Actor in Apify Console, paste the input below, and click **Start**. This returns up to 15 two-bedroom rental listings in Koramangala; results appear as structured rows in the default dataset and can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

```json
{
  "city": "Bangalore",
  "searchMode": "rent",
  "localities": ["Koramangala"],
  "bhk": [2],
  "maxResults": 15
}
```

Remove `localities` and `bhk` to search the whole city.

### What you get

Structured property data from 99acres.com across four modes: residential rent, residential buy, paying guest (PG), and commercial. Filter by city, locality, BHK, price range, area, furnishing, availability, and tenant type. Every listing includes normalized price in INR, deposit, area in square feet, coordinates, project name, RERA registration, and the listing URL.

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `searchMode` | Yes | `rent`, `buy`, `pg`, or `commercial`. Default `rent`. |
| `city` | Yes | Indian city (e.g., `Bangalore`, `Mumbai`, `New Delhi`, `Gurgaon`). Default `Bangalore`. |
| `localities` | No | List of neighborhoods to filter by (e.g., `["Koramangala", "HSR Layout"]`). Matched case-insensitively. Leave empty for the whole city. |
| `bhk` | No | Number of bedrooms as integers (e.g., `[2, 3]`). Multiple values are OR-combined. Ignored for PG. |
| `propertyType` | No | One or more of `apartment`, `villa`, `independent-house`, `builder-floor`, `studio`, `plot`, `penthouse`. |

### Use cases

- **Proptech builders**: Power rental search, valuation, and relocation tools with live 99acres supply data.
- **Investors and brokers**: Track new launches, price per sq ft trends, and RERA-registered inventory by locality.
- **Data teams**: Build per-city price-per-sqft distributions and micro-market reports.
- **AI agents**: Answer natural-language property queries ("2 BHK furnished in Koramangala under 50k") against structured live data.

### Limitations

- Owner and agent phone numbers are gated behind login on 99acres and are not returned.
- GPS coordinates are populated for roughly 70-80% of listings; some are project-level only.
- PG and commercial modes use slug-based URLs with coarser filters; BHK is ignored for PG.
- 99acres restricts some URL patterns to Indian visitors — India-based addresses are used by default.
- Commercial coverage is thinner than residential outside the top metros.

### Compared to alternatives

- **vs. 99acres official API**: 99acres does not offer a public API for third parties; this actor is the structured-data alternative.
- **vs. manual CSV exports**: 99acres does not publish CSV or feed downloads. This actor gives any buyer live, structured data with no minimum.

Pairs well with [MagicBricks Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/magicbricks-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6), [CommonFloor Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/commonfloor-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6), and [NoBroker Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/nobroker-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) for full India property-market coverage.

### FAQ

**Does this cover all Indian cities?**
Yes. Metros have the densest coverage; tier-2 and tier-3 cities fall back to slug URLs and may return fewer results.

**Can I filter by BHK and price range together?**
Yes — pass `bhk: [2, 3]` with `minPrice` / `maxPrice` together.

**How do I restrict to specific neighborhoods?**
Pass an array like `"localities": ["Koramangala", "Indiranagar"]`. Matching is case-insensitive substring.

**Does it include commercial properties?**
Yes — set `searchMode` to `commercial`.

**How fresh is the data?**
Pulled live from 99acres on every run.
