Cost
The Centris Broker Scraper Actor has a monthly usage cost of $25 plus any additional data scraping costs. If you choose to scrape all property listing data associated with each broker, the cost can increase to approximately $0.40 per 200 results due to the extended data collection. To optimize costs, deactivate the property listing option in the Actor's settings if this data is not essential.
