## 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.

## 🧭 Compass Urls Spider · Apify Actor

***

### 📌 What Is `Compass Urls Spider`?

`Compass Urls Spider` is a powerful Apify Actor designed to **scrape detailed property information from any Compass listing URL**. Whether you are analyzing property trends, monitoring listings, generating real-estate datasets, or powering an internal system — this actor automates everything.

Simply provide one or multiple Compass URLs, and the actor returns **clean, structured JSON data** including property details, pricing, features, schools, agent info, images, and more.

***

### 🧠 Key Features

- 🏡 **Comprehensive Property Data** (beds, baths, square footage, lot size, agent info, description, price history & more)
- 🌐 **Supports Multiple URLs** in a single run
- 🛡️ Built-in **Apify Residential Proxy** compatibility
- ⚡ Fast, reliable, and optimized to bypass blocking
- 📷 Extracts listing images + related metadata
- 🧩 Perfect for integrations (ETL pipelines, dashboards, analytics tools)
- 🧭 Works even on *canceled* or *off-market* listings

***

### 🛠️ Input Schema

Here’s how you provide input to the actor:

```json
{
  "Urls": [
    "https://www.compass.com/listing/113-jefferson-drive-columbia-tn-38401/1721827764917827545/"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

#### 🔐 Proxy Configuration Notes

- **useApifyProxy** — Must be `true` for stable scraping
- **apifyProxyGroups** — `"RESIDENTIAL"` recommended for lowest block rates

***

### 📤 Output Example

Below is a real example of the output provided by the actor:

```json
[
  {
    "title": "113 Jefferson Drive, Columbia, TN, 38401",
    "property_type": null,
    "price": null,
    "bedrooms": 4,
    "bathrooms": 5,
    "street_address": "113 Jefferson Drive",
    "city": "Columbia",
    "state": "TN",
    "zip_code": "38401",
    "neighborhood": "Columbia",
    "property_status": "Canceled",
    "nearby_schools": [
      "R Howell Elementary School",
      "E. A. Cox Middle School",
      "Columbia Central High School",
      "Northfield Academy",
      "Virtual Academy of Maury County",
      "Columbia Academy",
      "Calvary Baptist Academy"
    ]
  }
]
```

### 🚀 Use Cases

- 📊 **Real Estate Analytics** — Build comparative market analysis datasets
- 🧱 **Property Investment Tools** — Power valuation models with fresh listing data

- 🕵️ **Market Monitoring** — Track property changes, status updates, agent listings
- 🏢 **Brokerage Automation** — Auto-sync Compass listings into internal platforms
- 🎓 **Academic & Research** — Housing market studies, affordability research

***

### ✅ Best Practices

- Use **RESIDENTIAL proxies** for large batches of URLs
- Avoid sending broken or redirected URLs
- For highest accuracy, limit batches to **500 URLs per run**
- Schedule runs on Apify to keep datasets continuously updated
- Save outputs to Dataset + integrate via API for seamless automation

***

### 📚 Additional Tips

- The actor handles **off-market, canceled, or sold** listings gracefully
- For custom formats (CSV, Excel, API-ready JSON), DataWizards can provide tailored solutions
- Rate-limit Compass to avoid temporary blocking

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "Urls": [
    "https://www.compass.com/listing/113-jefferson-drive-columbia-tn-38401/1721827764917827545/"

apify call hello.datawizards/compass-urls-spider --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,hello.datawizards/compass-urls-spider"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
