Proxy Configuration

Datacenter proxy works and is the cheapest option (default). Use residential proxy if you experience blocks.

Datacenter (default, cheapest):

{
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Supported Cities

Pre-configured bounding boxes for fast, accurate results in 30+ major Canadian cities including Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Halifax, and more. Any city can be searched by name, but pre-configured cities skip the geocoding step.

Tips

• Start with a small maxListings (20-50) to test your filters before running large scrapes
• Use propertySearchCategory and buildingTypeFilter together for precise results
• The sold listing type shows recently sold properties with price history
• Multiple locations are scraped sequentially, reusing the same browser session
• If a run fails, set resumeFromCheckpoint to true to continue where it left off
