## 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`).

# Actor input Schema

## `url` (type: `string`):

The full URL of a Rightmove search results page. Must be a valid Rightmove search URL for properties to rent, for sale, new homes, or commercial properties.

## `get_floorplans` (type: `boolean`):

Whether to scrape individual floorplan images for each listing. Warning: This significantly increases runtime as it requires visiting each property page individually.

## `get_details` (type: `boolean`):

Whether to scrape detailed property information from individual property pages. This includes features, descriptions, images, and comprehensive property specifications. Warning: This significantly increases runtime and the number of requests made.

## `max_properties` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of properties to scrape. If not specified, all available properties will be scraped (up to Rightmove's limit of ~1,000 properties).

## `proxy_configuration` (type: `object`):

Select proxies to be used by your scraper. Using proxies is recommended to avoid potential IP blocks when scraping large amounts of data.

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?searchLocation=NW3&useLocationIdentifier=true&locationIdentifier=OUTCODE%5E1859&radius=0.0&_includeSSTC=on",

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,vulnv/rightmove-scraper"

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
