## 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.

### MagicBricks India Property Scraper

**Scrape MagicBricks India property listings for sale or rent across 27 cities, up to a million per run.** Each listing returns its price, area, BHK, project name, and full property details. No browser needed. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

MagicBricks is India's largest property portal, but manually collecting listings across cities and transaction types is slow and repetitive. This Actor reads the public search results directly, letting you pull structured property data from Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and 24 other cities in one run. Filter by property type, sort by price or recency, and get every listing in a consistent flat schema.

| Who uses it | What they scrape MagicBricks for |
|---|---|
| Real estate analysts | Track price trends and inventory levels across Indian metro cities. |
| Property investors | Compare per-square-foot rates for apartments and builder floors in target cities. |
| Lead generation teams | Build a fresh database of rental and sale listings with owner or broker details. |
| Market researchers | Map supply density by property type and city for quarterly reports. |

### What it does

This Actor collects MagicBricks property listings by city and transaction type, and returns each one as a flat row with price, area, BHK, project details, and more.

- 🏙️ **27 Indian cities:** Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Thane, Lucknow, Indore, Greater Noida, Jaipur, Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Kanpur, Kochi, Kozhikode, Ludhiana, Mysore, Nagpur, and Nashik.
- 🏠 **Sale and rental listings:** Switch between For Sale and For Rent with one input to cover both sides of the market.
- 🏢 **Eight property types:** Filter to Multistorey Apartment, Builder Floor, Penthouse, Residential House, Villa, Residential Land, Studio Apartment, or Farm House.
- 📊 **Four sort orders:** Premium plus Recent, Price high to low, Price low to high, or Newest listings first.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with MagicBricks data

**📈 Monitor city-level price trends.**

A real estate analyst runs the Actor weekly on Mumbai and Bangalore sale listings sorted by newest, then charts average price per square foot by property type to spot emerging micro-market shifts.

**🏢 Build a rental inventory dataset.**

A prop-tech startup scrapes For Rent listings across all 27 cities, filters to Multistorey Apartments only, and feeds the structured data into their apartment search app.

**💰 Find investment opportunities.**

An NRI investor pulls Residential Land and Villa listings in Pune, Hyderabad, and Chennai sorted by price low to high, then shortlists undervalued properties for site visits.

**📊 Compare supply across property types.**

A market researcher runs the Actor on five metro cities with no property type filter, then pivots the output to count listings by type and city for a quarterly supply report.

### Why choose this scraper

| | What you get |
|---|---|
| **City-level coverage** | 27 Indian cities with a single dropdown selection |
| **Transaction types** | For Sale and For Rent listings in one Actor |
| **Property type filters** | Eight property types including apartments, villas, and land |
| **Flexible sorting** | Order by premium placement, price ascending or descending, or newest first |
| **Flat output schema** | Every listing returns the same fields for easy analysis |

### How it compares

This Actor focuses on city-level scraping with built-in city codes and property type filters, while the Magicbricks Search Results Scraper uses raw search URLs for more granular control.

| Feature | ParseForge | Magicbricks Search Results Scraper |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in city selection | Yes, 27 cities via dropdown | Not listed |
| Property type filter | Yes, 8 types | Not listed |
| Transaction type toggle | Yes, Sale or Rent | Not listed |
| Sort order options | Yes, 4 sort orders | Not listed |
| Search URL input | Not required | Yes |
| Locality-level scraping | Not supported | Yes |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor from a city code and transaction type, then narrow results with optional property type filters and a sort order. Filters run at the source so only matching listings reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
 "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
 "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.021 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $2.10 |
| 1,000 results | $21.00 |
| 10,000 results | $210.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [MagicBricks India Property Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/magicbricks-india-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to MagicBricks through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/magicbricks-india-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check that your city and transaction type combination has active listings. Some smaller cities may have few For Rent listings. Try switching the transaction type or removing the property type filter to broaden the search.

**Why am I only getting 10 results?**

Free Apify users are limited to 10 items as a preview. Upgrade to a paid plan and increase the Maximum properties input to get more listings.

**The Actor is running slowly. Is that normal?**

The Actor respects MagicBricks' servers by pacing requests. Large runs with high maxItems values will take longer. This is expected behavior and protects your account from being rate-limited.

**Some listings are missing fields like price or area.**

MagicBricks listings sometimes omit details at the source. If a seller or broker did not provide the price or area, that field will be empty in your output. This is not an Actor error.

**Can I use this Actor with a proxy?**

Yes. Apify automatically routes traffic through its proxy pool. You can configure custom proxies in the Actor's advanced settings if needed.
