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 ## MagicBricks India Property Scraper ![magicbricks-scraper](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/lJlifu6C8YQfZMPKE/records/magicbricks-scraper) Extract structured property listings from **MagicBricks.com** — India's leading real estate portal with 8+ million listings. Covers residential buy and rent across all major Indian cities. No API key or login required. --- ### How it works The scraper uses a two-stage extraction strategy: 1. **Page 1 (JSON-in-HTML)** — Loads the Next.js SRP page and extracts the embedded `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON block. This establishes the browser session and retrieves the first page of results along with the total listing count. 2. **Pages 2+ (Internal AJAX API)** — Uses session cookies from step 1 to call MagicBricks' internal `propertyList` AJAX endpoint, which returns clean JSON. This is significantly faster than loading full HTML pages for every page. --- ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `cities` | Array | `["New-Delhi","Pune","Hyderabad","Mumbai","Bangalore"]` | City slugs to scrape | | `transaction` | Array | `["buy","rent"]` | `buy` or `rent` | | `maxItems` | Integer | `500` | Max listings to return (0 = unlimited) | | `maxPagesPerCity` | Integer | `40` | Safety cap on pages per city/tx combo | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | — | Proxy settings (datacenter or residential) | #### Supported cities `New-Delhi`, `Mumbai`, `Bangalore`, `Hyderabad`, `Pune`, `Chennai`, `Kolkata`, `Gurgaon`, `Noida`, `Ahmedabad`, `Navi-Mumbai` --- ### Output fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `propId` | String | Unique MagicBricks listing ID | | `url` | String | Full URL to the property detail page | | `transactionType` | String | `buy` or `rent` | | `propertyType` | String | e.g. `Multistorey-Apartment`, `Villa` | | `city` | String | City display name | | `locality` | String | Neighbourhood / locality | | `societyName` | String | Project or society name | | `developerName` | String | Builder / developer name | | `landmark` | String | Nearby landmark referenced in listing | | `latitude` | Number | GPS latitude | | `longitude` | Number | GPS longitude | | `priceRaw` | String | Price as displayed (e.g. `₹ 85 Lac`) | | `priceMin` | Number | Minimum price in INR | | `priceMax` | Number | Maximum price in INR | | `pricePerSqft` | Number | Price per sqft in INR | | `bedrooms` | Integer | Number of bedrooms (BHK) | | `bathrooms` | Integer | Number of bathrooms | | `balconies` | Integer | Number of balconies | | `areaSqft` | Number | Carpet/built-up area in sqft (best available) | | `carpetArea` | Number | Carpet area in sqft | | `builtUpArea` | Number | Built-up area in sqft | | `superBuiltUpArea` | Number | Super built-up area in sqft | | `floorNumber` | Integer | Floor the property is on | | `totalFloors` | Integer | Total floors in the building | | `furnishing` | String | `Furnished`, `Semi-Furnished`, `Unfurnished` | | `facing` | String | Direction the property faces (e.g. `East`) | | `ageOfProperty` | String | Property age / construction year band | | `possessionStatus` | String | e.g. `Ready to Move`, `Under Construction` | | `ownershipType` | String | `Freehold`, `Leasehold`, etc. | | `availableFrom` | String | Availability date (mainly for rent) | | `amenities` | String | Comma-separated list of amenities | | `verified` | Boolean | MagicBricks verified listing flag | | `isReraRegistered` | Boolean | RERA-registered project | | `reraId` | String | RERA registration number | | `postedDate` | String | ISO 8601 date when listed | | `photoUrl` | String | URL of cover/main photo | | `imageCount` | Integer | Total number of photos | | `tagLine` | String | Short marketing tagline / subtitle | | `description` | String | Full property description | | `source` | String | Always `magicbricks.com` | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp of extraction | --- ### 💰 Pricing **$0.90 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for successfully retrieved listings. | Results | Cost | |---------|------| | 100 | ~$0.09 | | 1,000 | ~$0.90 | | 10,000 | ~$9.00 | --- ### Examples **Apartments for sale in Mumbai** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.magicbricks.com/property-for-sale/residential-real-estate?proptype=Multistorey-Apartment&cityName=Mumbai" } ], "maxItems": 100 } ```` **Rentals in Bangalore** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.magicbricks.com/property-for-rent/residential-real-estate?cityName=Bangalore" } ], "maxItems": 50 } ``` **New listings — last 7 days** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.magicbricks.com/property-for-sale/residential-real-estate?cityName=Delhi" } ], "daysOld": 7, "maxItems": 200 } ``` **With full details** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.magicbricks.com/property-for-sale/residential-real-estate?cityName=Pune" } ], "fetchDetails": true, "maxItems": 50 } ``` *** ### Run it on a schedule This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it. - **Schedule runs** — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns. - **Connect it to your stack** — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed. - **Pull results via API** — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it. Set it once and it runs on its own. *** ### Need a custom scraper? **[Unfenced Group](https://www.unfencedgroup.nl)** builds Apify actors for any website — for free.
