## 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.

### Tips for Best Results

- Use MagicBricks search result pages, not individual property detail pages or blog pages.
- Rental URLs with `for-rent` in the path are detected and handled correctly.
- Start with `results_wanted: 20` and `max_pages: 1` to validate the output before scaling up.
- The scraper stops automatically when no new listings are found on a page.
- Leave proxy enabled for cloud runs. Disable only when your network can reach MagicBricks reliably.

### Integrations

- **Google Sheets** - Export results for spreadsheet analysis.
- **Airtable** - Build searchable property databases.
- **Make** - Trigger downstream automations.
- **Zapier** - Send listing data into business workflows.
- **Webhooks** - Push results into your own systems.

#### Export Formats

- **JSON** - For APIs and developers.
- **CSV** - For spreadsheets and quick analysis.
- **Excel** - For reporting and sharing.
- **XML** - For system integrations.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### What kind of MagicBricks URLs can I use?

Use MagicBricks property search result URLs. Canonical result URLs, `?page=2` variants, and `/page-2` variants are all normalized automatically before scraping begins.

#### How many listings can I collect?

The scraper collects up to the number specified in `results_wanted`. There is no hard upper limit, but very large collections may require more pages and higher proxy reliability.

#### Does the scraper work for rental listings?

Yes. URLs containing `for-rent` in the path are detected as rental searches and handled with the correct search parameters.

#### Do I have to use a proxy?

No. The actor runs without proxy unless you enable `proxyConfiguration` in the input. For cloud runs on Apify, proxy is recommended for reliable access at scale.

#### Will empty fields appear in the dataset?

No. The scraper removes null, undefined, and empty string values before saving each item. Only fields with actual data appear in the output.

#### Does the actor collect images and landmarks?

Yes. When the listing page provides them, image URLs and nearby landmarks are included in the output. Images are returned as absolute URLs for direct access.

#### What property types are supported?

Villas, apartments, flats, houses, and plots are supported. The scraper detects the property type from the URL path and applies the correct category filter.

#### What happens if a page has no more listings?

The scraper stops pagination when a page returns no listings or no new unique listings. This prevents infinite loops and wasted requests on empty pages.
