Important: MLS Numbers Are NOT Nationally Unique

MLS numbers are assigned by regional MLS boards, meaning the same MLS number can exist in different states. Use the location filtering options to ensure you get the correct property.

Location Filtering Example

{
  "mlsNumbers": ["12345678", "23456789"],
  "targetState": "IN",
  "targetCity": "Indianapolis",
  "demoMode": false
}

This ensures you only get properties from Indianapolis, Indiana - not properties with the same MLS number from other states.

Webhook Integration

Send results directly to Zapier, Make, n8n, or any custom webhook endpoint:

{
  "mlsNumbers": ["12345678"],
  "webhookUrl": "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/abcdef/"
}

The webhook receives a POST request with:

{
  "actorId": "mls-scraper",
  "status": "success",
  "propertyCount": 10,
  "foundCount": 9,
  "notFoundCount": 1,
  "timestamp": "2025-01-15T12:00:00.000Z",
  "data": [/* array of properties */]
}

Output

Each property result includes:

{
  "mlsNumber": "12345678",
  "found": true,
  "address": "123 Oak St",
  "city": "Indianapolis",
  "state": "IN",
  "zipCode": "46204",
  "fullAddress": "123 Oak St, Indianapolis, IN 46204",
  "googleMapsUrl": "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=123+Oak+St%2C+Indianapolis%2C+IN+46204",
  "zillowUrl": "https://www.zillow.com/homes/123-Oak-St-Indianapolis-IN-46204",
  "realtorUrl": "https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Indianapolis_IN",

  "locationMismatch": false,
  "scrapedAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"
}

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

Event	Description	Price
property_found	Per property successfully looked up with address and links	$0.025
property_not_found	Per MLS number that could not be matched	$0.005

Example costs:

• Look up 100 MLS numbers (90% found): 90 x $0.025 + 10 x $0.005 = $2.30
• Look up 500 MLS numbers (95% found): 475 x $0.025 + 25 x $0.005 = $12.00

Notes

• MLS numbers vary by region - some use numeric, others use alphanumeric formats
• Not all MLS listings are publicly available on Zillow/Realtor/Redfin
• Demo mode generates realistic sample data for testing
• Results are delivered via dataset or optional webhook
