## 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

## Rightmove UK Property Scraper (Unofficial)

Scrape Rightmove UK property listings, locations, filters, and property details with normalized output for price monitoring, property research, market research, and real estate workflows.

This is an unofficial actor and is not affiliated with Rightmove.

### Proxy behavior

This actor uses the shared Apify proxy contract used across the workspace. `rightmove_uk` is expected to work in direct mode first, with proxy fallback if the site starts blocking cloud runs. UK proxies are recommended for improved location accuracy.

### Supported operations

- `probe`
- `locations`
- `search_filters`
- `search`
- `category`
- `item`

### Operation guide

The Apify Console form shows the union of all supported fields, so the visible inputs do not change when you switch `operation`. Use the guide below to know which fields are required.

- `probe`
  Required: none
  Optional: `postcode`, `location`, `includeRaw`

- `locations`
  Required: `query`
  Optional: `limit`, `includeRaw`

- `search_filters`
  Required: one of `query`, `postcode`, `location`, `location_identifier`, or `url`
  Optional: `channel`, `radius`, `includeRaw`

- `search`
  Required: one of `query`, `postcode`, `location`, or `location_identifier`
  Optional: `channel`, `toRent`, `newHomes`, `commercial`, `radius`, `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `bedroomsMin`, `bedroomsMax`, `bathroomsMin`, `bathroomsMax`, `propertyType`, `furnished`, `mustHave`, `dontShow`, `sort`, `filter`, `page`, `limit`, `includeRaw`

- `category`
  Required: one of `location_identifier`, `url`, `postcode`, or `location`
  Optional: `channel`, `toRent`, `newHomes`, `commercial`, `radius`, `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `bedroomsMin`, `bedroomsMax`, `bathroomsMin`, `bathroomsMax`, `propertyType`, `furnished`, `mustHave`, `dontShow`, `sort`, `filter`, `page`, `limit`, `includeRaw`

- `item`
  Required: one of `propertyId` or `propertyUrl`
  Optional: `includeRaw`

### Example inputs

These starter examples were validated in Apify Cloud against the live site. The default input runs a bounded Bristol sales search and returns up to 10 listings.

```json
{
  "operation": "probe",
  "location": "Bristol",
  "includeRaw": false
}
```

```json
{
  "operation": "locations",
  "query": "Bristol",
  "limit": 10,
  "includeRaw": false
}
```

```json
{
  "operation": "search",
  "query": "Bristol",
  "channel": "sale",
  "page": 1,
  "limit": 10,
  "sort": "newest",
  "includeRaw": false
}
```

```json
{
  "operation": "category",
  "locationIdentifier": "REGION^219",
  "channel": "sale",
  "page": 1,
  "limit": 10,
  "sort": "newest",
  "includeRaw": false
}
```

```json
{
  "operation": "item",
  "propertyId": "171636185",
  "includeRaw": false
}
```

```json
{
  "operation": "search_filters",
  "locationIdentifier": "REGION^219",
  "channel": "sale",
  "radius": 1.0,
  "includeRaw": false
}
```

### Output

- **Dataset**: normalized property listings, locations, or structured filter rows depending on the operation
- **Key-value store `OUTPUT`**: run summary with `source`, `operation`, `success`, `total`, `errors`, `proxy`, and `monetization`

### Output fields (listing)

- `id`, `property_id`, `url`, `slug`, `title`, `summary`
- `price`, `price_pcm`, `currency`, `price_display`, `price_qualifier`
- `property_type`, `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `status`
- `address`, `postcode`, `location`, `latitude`, `longitude`
- `image`, `images`
- `added_on`, `updated_on`, `added_on_text`
- `floor_area_sqft`, `floor_area_sqm`
- `agent_name`, `agent_branch`, `agent_phone`
- `features`, `listing_update`
- `channel`, `source`

### Output fields (item - additional)

- `short_description`, `description`
- `floorplans`, `brochures`, `videos`, `virtual_tour_url`
- `epc_rating`, `epc_graphs`, `council_tax_band`
- `transaction_type`, `tenure`
- `nearest_stations`
- `review_summary`
- `heating`, `parking`, `garden` features
- `agent_profile_url`, `agent_address`, `agent_logo`

### Limitations

- Page size on public list pages is capped at 24 listings
- Location identifier format must be `TYPE^ID` (e.g., `REGION^219`, `OUTCODE^264`)
- No browser required - uses HTML/JSON extraction
- Individual review rows not extracted (summary only)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call dromb/rightmove-uk-wave1 --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dromb/rightmove-uk-wave1"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
