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 ## Rightmove Property Scraper: Extract Comprehensive UK Property Data ### Overview **Enhanced Rightmove Property Scraper** extracts comprehensive property data from Rightmove.co.uk with 50+ data points per property.

Must be a valid Rightmove search URL for properties to rent, for sale, new homes, or commercial properties. ## `get_floorplans` (type: `boolean`): Whether to scrape individual floorplan images for each listing. Warning: This significantly increases runtime as it requires visiting each property page individually. ## `get_details` (type: `boolean`): Whether to scrape detailed property information from individual property pages. This includes features, descriptions, images, and comprehensive property specifications. Warning: This significantly increases runtime and the number of requests made. ## `max_properties` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of properties to scrape. If not specified, all available properties will be scraped (up to Rightmove's limit of ~1,000 properties). ## `proxy_configuration` (type: `object`): Select proxies to be used by your scraper. Using proxies is recommended to avoid potential IP blocks when scraping large amounts of data. ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?searchLocation=NW3&useLocationIdentifier=true&locationIdentifier=OUTCODE%5E1859&radius=0.0&_includeSSTC=on", "get_floorplans": true, "get_details": true, "max_properties": 10, "proxy_configuration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
