## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## FincaRaíz Property Scraper

Scrape public sale and rental property listings from FincaRaíz in Colombia and export records with listing, price, location, area, room, facility, image, seller and source-date fields when present; no buyer-supplied FincaRaíz key or login is needed. Free-plan pricing is described below.

- Collect sale or rental inventory by operation, property type and location for property research.
- Filter listings by price, area, bedrooms, bathrooms, keyword or Colombian stratum for property discovery.
- Build location-aware datasets with public addresses, coordinates, neighborhoods, departments and cities when provided.
- Download public listing images and seller or source-date fields for catalog and monitoring workflows.
- Run with your Apify account without buyer API keys or FincaRaíz credentials.

### What you get

The Actor reads FincaRaíz server-rendered listing data and saves source records. A field is omitted when the source does not provide it.

| Field family | Output fields | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | `id`, `legacy_id`, `url`, `title`, `description` | Property identifiers, canonical page URL, title and listing description |
| Listing | `operation_type`, `property_type`, `source` | Sale or rental label, property category and source site |
| Price | `price`, `currency`, `price_usd`, `administration_fee` | Advertised price, currency, source-provided USD equivalent and administration fee when supplied |
| Location | `address`, `country`, `department`, `city`, `neighborhood`, `latitude`, `longitude` | Public address, geographic names and coordinates |
| Area | `area_m2`, `built_area_m2`, `private_area_m2`, `terrain_area_m2`, `terrace_area_m2`, `hectares` | Total, built, private, land and terrace measurements |
| Rooms and building | `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `garages`, `stratum`, `floor`, `floors_count`, `construction_year`, `construction_state` | Room counts, parking, Colombian stratum, floor information and construction details |
| Facilities and media | `amenities`, `images`, `image_count` | Named facilities and public listing image URLs |
| Seller and dates | `seller_name`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `scraped_at` | Seller or agency, source dates and collection timestamp |

### Sample output

This shortened sample preserves values from one real dataset record and omits other fields, including the description, image list and additional property details.

```json
{
  "id": "194196781",
  "url": "https://www.fincaraiz.com.co/apartamento-en-venta-en-el-batan-bogota/194196781",
  "title": "Apartamento en Venta en El Batán, Bogotá",
  "operation_type": "Venta",
  "property_type": "Apartamento",
  "price": 620000000,
  "currency": "COP",
  "address": "Calle 126 #52a-96, Bogotá, Colombia",
  "city": "Bogotá",
  "department": "Bogotá, d.c.",
  "latitude": 4.7072814,
  "longitude": -74.0618545,
  "area_m2": 100,
  "bedrooms": 3,
  "bathrooms": 3,
  "garages": 2,
  "stratum": 5,
  "source": "FincaRaíz"
}
```

### Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event billing. The listed event prices are:

| Event | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---:|
| `apify-default-dataset-item` | One scraped result with all fields | $0.001 per result on the Free plan |
| `apify-actor-start` | Actor start | $0.00005 per start event on the Free plan |

For example, **1,000 results = $1.00 on Free**, plus one Actor Start event at $0.00005 on the Free plan; **10,000 results = $10.00 on Free**, plus one Actor Start event at $0.00005 on the Free plan. The result event is charged for each saved dataset item; the Actor Start event is charged when the Actor starts running.

The Apify Free plan includes **$5 of monthly platform usage credit**. Using the supplied event prices, the Free-plan calculation gives **4,999 results** after one $0.00005 start event: 4,999 dataset items plus one start event total $4.99905 on the Free plan.

These are Actor event charges. Platform usage such as compute, Apify Proxy traffic including residential traffic, and storage is included in the event prices and paid by the Actor developer. This Actor does not use the “Pay per event + usage” option, so platform usage is not additionally paid by the user.

### How to use

1. **Choose** `sale` or `rent` for `operationType`, select a `propertyType`, and enter a FincaRaíz location path such as `bogota-dc` or medellin/antioquia.
2. **Set** `maxResults` to the maximum number of property records to save. It defaults to 50.
3. **Add** optional filters such as a keyword, price bounds, area bounds, minimum bedrooms, minimum bathrooms or an exact stratum.
4. **Provide** one or more `startUrls` when you want to collect a specific FincaRaíz search or property page. Each URL must use HTTPS on the `fincaraiz.com.co` domain; supplied start URLs replace the generated operation, property type and location URL.
5. **Configure** `proxyConfiguration` only when needed. Set `useApifyProxy` to `false`, or omit proxy settings, to connect directly.
6. **Schedule** the run again through Apify Schedules; daily is a suitable starting point for a listings collection job.

Example input:

```json
{
  "operationType": "sale",
  "propertyType": "apartment",
  "location": "bogota-dc",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "minPrice": 200000000,
  "maxAreaM2": 150,
  "minRooms": 2
}
```

Export the dataset as JSON or CSV, or read it through the Apify dataset API.

### Input parameters

| Parameter | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `operationType` | Selects the operation: `sale` or `rent`. | `sale` |
| `propertyType` | Selects a category: `apartment`, `house`, `studio_apartment`, `country_house`, `ranch`, `cabin`, `house_lot`, `room`, `land`, `warehouse`, `commercial`, `office`, `medical_office`, `parking`, `building` or `any`. `any` searches all property types. | `apartment` |
| `location` | FincaRaíz URL path for a city, neighborhood or department. Separate nested slugs with `/`. | `bogota-dc` |
| `maxResults` | Maximum number of property records to save. | `50` |
| `keyword` | Keeps records whose title, description or amenities contain the text. | Not set |
| `minPrice` | Keeps listings at or above this price in COP. | Not set |
| `maxPrice` | Keeps listings at or below this price in COP. | Not set |
| `minAreaM2` | Keeps listings with at least this total area in square metres. | Not set |
| `maxAreaM2` | Keeps listings with no more than this total area in square metres. | Not set |
| `minRooms` | Keeps listings with at least this many bedrooms. | Not set |
| `minBathrooms` | Keeps listings with at least this many bathrooms. | Not set |
| `stratum` | Keeps listings matching exactly this Colombian stratum, from 1 through 6. | Not set |
| `startUrls` | Optional HTTPS FincaRaíz search or property URLs. Valid URLs replace the generated search URL. | `[]` |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Optional proxy settings. Set `useApifyProxy` to `false`, or omit proxy settings, for a direct connection. | `{"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}` |

The additional filters are applied to collected source records. `minPrice`, `maxPrice`, area limits, room limits, bathroom limits and `stratum` use the corresponding parsed record fields.

### Limits and edge cases

| Condition | What the buyer sees | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The source does not provide a field | That field is omitted from the record rather than filled with an empty value. | Use fields that are present, and account for optional property details in downstream processing. |
| A filter is set but a record lacks the field needed for that filter | The record does not pass that filter. | Relax the filter or choose a search where the source provides the relevant property detail. |
| `maxResults` is `0` at runtime | The Actor logs that no records were requested and saves no records. | Use a positive value when records are required. |
| A `startUrls` value is not HTTPS on the FincaRaíz domain | The URL is ignored and a warning is logged. If no valid start URL remains, the Actor logs that no valid URLs were provided and stops. | Use an HTTPS URL on `fincaraiz.com.co` or one of its subdomains. |
| A page contains no parsed property records | The Actor logs that no property records were found at that page and stops processing that URL. | Check the URL, broaden the search or use a different FincaRaíz search page. |
| A page fetch fails | The page fetch is attempted up to three times. After the final failure, the Actor logs a warning and stops processing that base URL; records already pushed remain in the dataset. | Retry the run or use another valid start URL. |
| A property page is used as a `startUrl` | The page is treated as a detail page and pagination does not continue beyond that record. | Use a FincaRaíz search URL when multiple listings are needed. |
| The same property appears more than once across collected pages or URLs | The Actor skips duplicate records by listing ID, or by URL when an ID is unavailable. | Review the remaining records and use more specific URLs or filters if needed. |

### FAQ

#### How much does it cost to scrape FincaRaíz property listings?

The dataset-item event costs $0.001 per result on the Free plan, and the Actor Start event costs $0.00005 per start event on the Free plan. For example, 1,000 results = $1.00 on Free, plus one $0.00005 start event on the Free plan.

#### Why did the Actor return an empty dataset?

The search page may contain no parsed property records, or optional filters may exclude every collected record. A filter also excludes a record when the corresponding value is absent. Try a broader location or search URL, remove restrictive filters, or verify that the property page is an HTTPS FincaRaíz URL.

#### What happens if a FincaRaíz page does not load?

The Actor retries a failed page fetch up to three times. If the fetch still fails, it logs a warning and stops processing that base URL. Records pushed before that failure remain available in the dataset.

#### Is using FincaRaíz public data legal for my project?

The Actor collects public listing data from FincaRaíz, but public availability is not a legal guarantee for every use. Source terms and applicable law depend on your use case, so review them before using the data.
