## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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

## Centaline + 28Hse Scraper | Hong Kong Property Listings & Details (No API, No Login)

Scrape public property data from **Centaline** (hk.centanet.com) and **28Hse** (28hse.com) — one Actor covering Hong Kong's two largest property listing platforms. Supports keyword search (buy/rent) and Centaline full property detail, two modes in total. Everything goes through public JSON/HTML endpoints — no login, no account, no API token required.

### Examples

#### Example 1: Taikoo Shing sale search (both sites combined)

```json
{
    "mode": "search",
    "keywords": ["太古城"],
    "dealType": "buy",
    "source": "both",
    "maxItems": 50
}
```

#### Example 2: Kowloon City rental search (Centaline only)

```json
{
    "mode": "search",
    "keywords": ["九龍城", "馬頭圍"],
    "dealType": "rent",
    "source": "centanet",
    "priceMin": 15000,
    "priceMax": 30000,
    "maxItems": 100
}
```

#### Example 3: Fetch detail by property ID

```json
{
    "mode": "detail",
    "propertyIds": ["CLL467", "DAJ422", "DAR140"],
    "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Notes

- Only publicly accessible data is scraped; no login or account is required.
- Both Centaline's and 28Hse's public API endpoints are called via POST.
- Due to how Crawlee schedules crawls, the same search term may de-duplicate across pages at the `property_id` level.
- `search` mode pulls from both sites; `property_id` format differs between them (Centaline uses an alphanumeric code like `CLL467`, 28Hse uses a purely numeric ID).
- `detail` mode only supports Centaline (28Hse has no public detail API).
- Every Run charges a fixed **$0.005** start-up fee, then bills per item actually scraped.

***

### FAQ

**Q: Can I search for-sale and for-rent listings at the same time?**
A: Currently each Run can only use one `dealType`. Run it twice separately if you need both.

**Q: Why did I get fewer search results than expected?**
A: `maxItems` caps at 500. If your keyword is too broad, the scraper auto-stops after 5 consecutive pages with no new data, to save cost.

**Q: How do I get a property ID for detail mode?**
A: Extract it from a Centaline property page URL (format like `CLL467`), or run `search` mode first to get the `property_id` field, then paste those into `bulkInput`.

**Q: Does 28Hse have price-per-sqft data?**
A: Yes — the `price_per_sqft` field (saleable area price) is also populated for 28Hse search results.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

What do you want to scrape? Pick one mode, then fill in the matching fields below.

## `dealType` (type: `string`):

Scrape for-sale or for-rent listings.

## `source` (type: `string`):

Which site to scrape. both = combine both sites for the most complete coverage.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Search keywords, e.g. estate names: Taikoo Shing, Sha Tin First City, South Horizons. One estate per keyword works best.

## `districts` (type: `array`):

Search by district, e.g. Taikoo Shing, Causeway Bay, Sha Tin. Merged into the search together with the keywords above.

## `priceMin` (type: `integer`):

Only keep properties with a sale price or monthly rent ≥ this amount. Leave blank for no limit.

## `priceMax` (type: `integer`):

Only keep properties with a sale price or monthly rent ≤ this amount. Leave blank for no limit.

## `areaMin` (type: `integer`):

Only keep properties with saleable area ≥ this value (sq ft). Leave blank for no limit.

## `propertyIds` (type: `array`):

Centaline property refNo, e.g. CLL467, DAZ418. It's the segment after the last \_ in a Centaline detail page URL.

## `propertyUrls` (type: `array`):

Full Centaline property URL, e.g. https://hk.centanet.com/findproperty/detail/太古城\_CLL467. The refNo is extracted automatically.

## `bulkInput` (type: `string`):

One per line (press Enter for a new line). Treated as keywords in search mode, or refNo/property URLs in detail mode. Fastest way is to copy a whole column from Google Sheets.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Max results per keyword × per source. More items = higher cost. Detail mode is not limited by this (bounded by the number of refNo values instead).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Both sites are friendly to datacenter requests; it works without a proxy by default. Enable only if you hit blocks (429) during heavy scraping.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "dealType": "buy",
  "source": "both",
  "keywords": [
    "太古城"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```
