This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

}
```

**Cap the price:**

```json
{
  "maxResults": 100,
  "maxPrice": 9500000

### 💰 Pricing

**$0.9 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for successfully retrieved listings. Failed retries are never charged.

| Results | Cost |
|---|---|
| 100 | ~$0.09 |
| 1,000 | ~$0.9 |
| 10,000 | ~$9 |
| 100,000 | ~$90 |

> Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Subscription tiers lower the rate further, down to $0.54 per 1,000 at the highest tier. Use the **Max results** cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

***

### Performance

| Run size | Typical time |
|---|---|
| 100 results | under 1 minute |
| 1,000 results | 2–4 minutes |
| 10,000 results | 20–35 minutes |

***

### Known limitations

- Some fields (surface, year built, energy label) are only returned when the lister publishes them — expect `null` on a share of records.
- Listing photos and agent details vary per listing; the scraper returns what the source publishes and never invents data.
- Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
- Listings can be withdrawn at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

***

### Technical details

- **Source:** magicbricks.com — India property listings
- **Coverage:** everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
- **Retry:** automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff

}' |
apify call unfenced-group/magicbricks-scraper --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

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).
