Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.har.com/search/dosearch?for_sale=1&mp_term_years=30&mp_mortgage_rate=6.55&mp_down_payment_rate=20&sort=listdate%20desc&view=map"
  ],
  "max_items_per_url": 200,
  "ignore_url_failures": true
}

Parameter	Description
urls	HAR.com search result pages with applied filters (price, property type, location, status). Copy the full URL from your browser.
max_items_per_url	Maximum properties extracted per search URL (default: 500, typical: 200). Higher values collect more data but increase runtime.
ignore_url_failures	If true, skips failed URLs and continues scraping. Recommended for large batches.

Tip: Create filtered search URLs on HAR.com (e.g., "For Sale," price range, city) and paste them here. Each URL can yield different property sets based on your filters.

How to Use

1. Build your search — On HAR.com, apply filters (price range, property type, city, status) to narrow results.
2. Copy the search URL — From your browser's address bar, copy the full HAR search URL (e.g., dosearch?for_sale=1&...).
3. Configure the scraper — Paste the URL(s) into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url to your desired limit (e.g., 200 for moderate runs, 500 for exhaustive collection).
4. Run the scraper — Start the actor and monitor progress. Enable ignore_url_failures for uninterrupted runs.
5. Export results — Download data as JSON, CSV, or Excel, then import into your database or spreadsheet.

Best practices:

• Use specific filters (neighborhood, price tier) to get relevant results faster.
• Test with a small max_items_per_url (e.g., 50) first to preview data quality.
• For large-scale runs, split searches by price range or city to improve performance.
