Search Modes

Search by Location (best for market research)

Search one or more suburbs, postcodes, or entire states. Filters are applied at the URL level for efficient scraping.

{
  "mode": "location",
  "locations": [
    { "suburb": "Bondi Beach", "state": "NSW" },
    { "state": "QLD", "postcode": "4000" }
  ],
  "listingType": "buy",
  "propertyTypes": ["house", "townhouse"],
  "priceMin": 500000,
  "priceMax": 1500000,
  "bedroomsMin": 3
}

Direct URLs (best for specific searches)

Pass search result page URLs directly. Filters like price/bedrooms are applied as post-filters after extraction.

{
  "mode": "url",
  "urls": [
    "https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/in-suburb,+nsw+2000/list-1",
    "https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/in-suburb,+vic+3000/list-1"
  ]
}

Sitemap Crawl (best for large-scale data collection)

Auto-discovers all search pages from the site's HTML sitemap. Use maxListings to control volume.

{
  "mode": "sitemap",
  "listingType": "sold",
  "maxListings": 10000
}

FAQ

Can I scrape sold data with sale prices?

Yes. Set listingType: "sold" and use dateRange to control how far back to search (up to all-time). Results include soldPrice, soldDate, and daysOnMarket.

What if my scrape fails midway?

Checkpoint resume is enabled by default. The actor saves progress every few listings and on platform migration/abort events. Restart the actor and it continues from where it left off.

How are coordinates obtained?

After extracting listings from search pages, the actor navigates to the map view for each location to fetch latitude/longitude coordinates. This enriches listings with precise geographic data at minimal extra cost.

What's the difference between agent and agents?

agent contains the primary listing agent for backwards compatibility. agents is the full array of all agents on the listing (some properties have 2-3 agents).
