## 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.

# README

## Rightmove Scraper — UK Property Listings & Agent Data

Scrape **homes for sale on [Rightmove](https://www.rightmove.co.uk)**, the UK's biggest property
portal, straight into a clean table or JSON/CSV/Excel feed. Just type a **town, city, postcode or
area** — the scraper resolves it to Rightmove's own location and pages through every result.

For each listing you get the **price, bedrooms, bathrooms, address, GPS coordinates, property type,
tenure, listing status** and the **estate agent** behind it (branch name, trading name, phone number
and branch page) — ready for property research, comparables, lead generation or a market dashboard.

### What you can do with it

- **Estate-agent lead lists** — every listing carries the branch name, brand and phone number.
- **Market monitoring** — price, "added/reduced" status, first-listed date and update reason per home.
- **Comparables & valuations** — beds, baths, type, tenure, coordinates and price for an area.
- **Feed a CRM / spreadsheet / map** — structured rows, deduplicated by Rightmove property ID.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| **Location** | A UK town, city, postcode or area — e.g. `Manchester`, `Leeds`, `SW1A 1AA`, `Notting Hill`. |
| **Multiple locations** | Optional list to scrape several places in one run (overrides the single Location). |
| **Max listings per location** | Stop after N listings each. `0` = everything Rightmove will page through. |
| **Location identifier** *(advanced)* | Raw Rightmove identifier, e.g. `REGION^904`, `POSTCODE^837246`, `OUTCODE^2340`. Skips the lookup. |
| **Proxy** | Apify Proxy (datacenter) is enough — residential is **not** required. |

#### Example

```json
{
  "location": "Manchester",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Output

One row per property listing (deduplicated by `id`). Key fields:

| Field | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `id`, `propertyUrl` | Rightmove property ID and full listing URL |
| `price_amount`, `price_display`, `price_qualifier` | Numeric price, formatted price, and qualifier ("Guide Price", "Offers Over", …) |
| `bedrooms`, `bathrooms` | Room counts (`0` bedrooms = studio) |
| `propertySubType`, `propertyType`, `tenure` | e.g. "Terraced", "2 bedroom apartment for sale", "LEASEHOLD" |
| `displayAddress`, `latitude`, `longitude` | Address string and GPS coordinates |
| `summary`, `mainImageUrl`, `numberOfImages` | Listing blurb, main photo, media counts |
| `listingUpdateReason`, `listingUpdateDate`, `addedOrReduced`, `firstVisibleDate` | Listing status & timing |
| `branchDisplayName`, `brandTradingName`, `contactTelephone`, `branchLandingPageUrl` | The **estate agent** |
| `searchLocation`, `searchIdentifier`, `scraped_at` | Which search produced the row |

### Good to know

- **Rightmove pages through ~1,000 results per search** (its own UI limit), even when a city has
  tens of thousands of listings. To reach deeper stock, **narrow the location** to a town, suburb or
  postcode, or run several `locations` at once.
- Scope is **for sale** (the `RES_BUY` channel). To-rent and sold-price channels are separate.
- A plain city name is **not** a filter on Rightmove — this actor resolves it to a real
  `locationIdentifier` via Rightmove's public typeahead before searching, so results are correctly
  scoped to the place you asked for.
- Some prices show as a qualifier only ("POA"); in that case `price_amount` may be null while
  `price_display` still carries the text.

### Legality & fair use

This actor collects **publicly available** listing data from Rightmove search pages, without logging
in. Use it in line with Rightmove's Terms of Use and applicable law. Any personal data in the output
(e.g. agent contact details) is processed under **your** responsibility as the data controller —
scrape and use it lawfully (GDPR/UK-GDPR and similar).

# Actor input Schema

## `location` (type: `string`):

A UK town, city, postcode or area, e.g. `Manchester`, `Leeds`, `SW1A 1AA` or `Notting Hill`. Resolved automatically to Rightmove's location.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Optional: scrape several places in one run. Each is a town, city, postcode or area. When set, this overrides the single Location field above.

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

Stop after this many listings for each location. Set 0 for everything Rightmove will page through (~1,000 max per search).

## `locationIdentifier` (type: `string`):

Power-user override: a raw Rightmove locationIdentifier such as `REGION^904`, `POSTCODE^837246` or `OUTCODE^2340`. When set, the Location field is ignored and no typeahead lookup is done.

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

Apify Proxy is enough — measured working on standard datacenter proxies. Residential is not required.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Pacing between result pages.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "location": "Manchester",
  "locations": [],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  },
  "requestDelayMs": 500
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `listings` (type: `string`):

Property price, beds, baths, address, coordinates, type, tenure, listing status and estate-agent contact.
