## 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

## Summits Rents Lists

### Introduction

Summits Rents Lists is an Apify Actor designed to scrape rental property listings from Summit.co.nz, New Zealand's leading real estate platform. It efficiently extracts detailed information about available rentals, enabling users to gather comprehensive data for analysis, research, or business needs. This Actor leverages PlaywrightCrawler for reliable, headless browsing to handle dynamic content and ensure high-quality data extraction.

### Features

- **Comprehensive Data Extraction**: Captures key details from rental listings, including property titles, prices, locations, descriptions, and contact information.
- **Customizable Crawling**: Allows users to specify start URLs, maximum pages to crawl, and request limits for tailored data collection.
- **High Reliability**: Built with Playwright for robust handling of JavaScript-heavy sites, minimizing failures and ensuring consistent results.
- **Scalable Performance**: Processes multiple pages efficiently, with options to control crawl depth and request volume to suit various project sizes.
- **JSON Output**: Delivers structured data in JSON format, ideal for integration with databases, analytics tools, or further processing.
- **Error-Resilient**: Includes built-in retry mechanisms and logging for smooth operation, even on complex websites.
- **Apify Integration**: Seamlessly runs on the Apify platform, with easy access to results via API or direct download.

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|---------|
| startUrls | array | Yes | URLs to start the crawling process. Each URL should point to a rental listings page on Summit.co.nz. | `[{"url": "https://summit.co.nz/rent/listings"}]` |
| maxPages | integer | No | The maximum number of pages to crawl from the start URLs. Helps control the scope of data extraction. | `3` |
| maxCrawlRequests | integer | No | The maximum number of HTTP requests the crawler will make. Limits resource usage and prevents overloading the target site. | `10` |

### Example Usage

To run the Actor, provide input parameters in JSON format. Here's an example input:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://summit.co.nz/rent/listings"
    }
  ],
  "maxPages": 3,
  "maxCrawlRequests": 10
}
```

Example output (in JSON format):

```json
{
  "url": "https://summit.co.nz/rent/listings/property-123",
  "title": "Modern 2-Bedroom Apartment in Auckland CBD",
  "price": "$450/week",
  "location": "Auckland, New Zealand",
  "description": "Spacious apartment with city views, fully furnished.",
  "contact": "agent@summit.co.nz",
  "images": ["https://example.com/image1.jpg"]
}
```

Note: Actual output will vary based on the listings scraped. The Actor outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing a rental property.

### Use Cases

- **Market Research and Analysis**: Gather data on rental prices and availability to analyze trends in New Zealand's property market.
- **Competitive Intelligence**: Monitor competitors' listings to benchmark pricing and features.
- **Price Monitoring**: Track rental rates over time for investment decisions or personal budgeting.
- **Content Aggregation**: Compile listings for real estate blogs, newsletters, or comparison websites.
- **Academic Research**: Collect data for studies on housing affordability or urban development.
- **Business Automation**: Integrate with CRM systems to automate lead generation for property agents.

### Installation and Usage

1. Search for "Summits Rents Lists" in the Apify Store
2. Click "Try for free" or "Run"
3. Configure input parameters
4. Click "Start" to begin extraction
5. Monitor progress in the log
6. Export results in your preferred format (JSON, CSV, Excel)

### Output Format

The Actor outputs data in JSON format as an array of objects. Each object represents a scraped rental listing and typically includes fields such as:

- `url`: The direct link to the listing.
- `title`: The property title or headline.
- `price`: Rental price information.
- `location`: Geographic details.
- `description`: Detailed property description.
- `contact`: Agent or owner contact info.
- `images`: Array of image URLs.

This structured format ensures easy parsing and integration with other tools. Results are stored in the Actor's dataset for download or API access.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://summit.co.nz/rent/listings"
    }
  ]

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

```

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).
