## 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.

### 📖 Overview

Search PAP — France's leading **private-seller** (no agency) real-estate site — for rentals or sales by location, price, surface, rooms and bedrooms. For each listing you get the price, surface, rooms, bedrooms, DPE/energy rating, description, photos and location.

- Search with **friendly filters** — transaction, locations, property types, price, surface, rooms.
- Locations resolve **automatically** to PAP zones (cities, departments or postal codes).
- **Private-seller** listings — buy or rent directly from owners.
- Rich data — price, surface, rooms, DPE, description and all photos.
- Exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, or the Apify dataset API.
- Pay per result — no subscription.

### 🚀 How to use

1. Pick **Buy** or **Rent**, add one or more **locations** (cities, departments or postal codes), and set property types, price, surface and rooms.
2. Set **Max results** (`0` = everything).
3. Start the run.
4. Download your data from the **Storage** tab, or fetch it from the API.

### 💰 Pricing

**$0.90 per 1,000 listings.** No subscription — you pay only for the results you extract. New Apify users can try the Actor with their free monthly platform credits.

### 🛡️ Proxy and performance

- Use Apify residential proxies (country FR) for reliable runs — recommended, since pap.fr limits rapid requests.
- Start with a small **Max results** to validate your filters, then increase it.
- Add several locations in one run to cover multiple cities at once.
- The Actor paces its requests automatically to stay reliable.

### 🔌 Integrations

### ❓ FAQ

**What makes PAP different?**

PAP (Particulier à Particulier) lists properties sold or rented **directly by owners**, with no agency fees — a great source for private-seller deals.

**How do I target a specific area?**

Add cities, departments or postal codes in **Locations** — each is resolved automatically to its PAP zone. Add several to cover multiple areas in one run.

**How fresh is the data?**

It is collected live at runtime.
