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 ## FSBO.com For-Sale-By-Owner Lead Extractor Pull authentic **for-sale-by-owner** listings from FSBO.com — the seller's name, the property address, the asking price, the original seller-written description, and every photo — straight into a clean dataset you can hand to your sales team or pipe into a CRM. Built for real-estate wholesalers, flippers, and investors who want to reach motivated sellers directly, without an agent in the middle. ### Why use this actor - **No account, no login, no API key** required. - **Seller name on every record** — the person actually selling the home, not a listing agent. - **Full original description** the owner wrote, plus beds/baths/sqft, year built, county, neighborhood, and all listing photos. - **Authentic FSBO only** — owner-posted listings are kept; aggregated/unclaimed rows are filtered out by default. - **Search the whole country or narrow it down** — by state, city, ZIP, keyword, price range, or property type. - **Stable JSON output** suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, or a database — download as JSON, CSV, or Excel. > **A note on phone & email:** FSBO.com only reveals a seller's direct phone and email through its on-site contact form to signed-in users — they are never shown publicly. This actor collects only what is publicly available, so `phone` and `email` are returned as `null`. You get the seller's **name + exact property address**, which is everything you need to skip-trace or send a direct-mail / door-knock campaign. ### How it works 1. You give the actor one or more **searches** (e.g. `{ "state": "TX", "minPrice": 100000 }`) — or leave it empty to pull listings nationwide. 2. The actor walks every page of matching listings and, for each one, pulls the full detail record including the seller's name and complete property description. 3. Results stream into your dataset in real time, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel. You don't manage any of the fetching, paging, or retrying — just set your search and press **Run**. ### Input All fields are pre-filled in Apify Console, so you can press **Run** immediately. Prices are entered in **plain dollars**. ```json { "searches": [ { "state": "TX", "minPrice": 100000 }, { "city": "Austin" } ], "fetchDetails": true, "fsboOnly": true, "maxItems": 100, "maxPages": 200, "maxConcurrency": 6, "maxRetries": 4, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `searches` | array | List of search filters. Each entry is an object combining any of: `state` (2-letter), `city`, `zip`, `q` (keyword), `minPrice`, `maxPrice` (in dollars), `propertyType`, `sort`. A plain string is treated as a keyword. Leave empty for a nationwide pull. | | `searchUrls` | array | Alternatively, paste FSBO.com `/search` URLs — their filters are reused automatically. | | `fetchDetails` | boolean | `true` (default) collects the seller name, county, neighborhood, and full attributes. Set `false` for a faster list-only pull (no seller name). | | `fsboOnly` | boolean | `true` (default) keeps only owner-posted listings the seller can be reached on directly; drops aggregated/unclaimed rows. | | `maxItems` | integer | Soft cap on rows emitted. `0` = unlimited.

Filter keys in the query string (state, city, minPrice, ...) are reused automatically. ## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`): Fetch each listing's detail record to capture the seller name, county, neighborhood, and full property attributes. Turn off for a faster, lighter list-only pull (no seller name). ## `fsboOnly` (type: `boolean`): Keep only owner-posted listings the seller can be contacted on directly. Drops aggregated/unclaimed rows. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Soft cap on the number of dataset rows to emit. Set to 0 for unlimited. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Safety ceiling on how many result pages (50 listings each) to walk per search filter. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of concurrent HTTP requests. ## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`): How many times to retry a request before giving up. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional.
