Important: Rate Limiting Considerations

Redfin monitors for automated access. To minimize detection:

1. Start slow - Begin with maxResults: 20 and increase gradually
2. Use residential proxies - Enabled by default
3. Space your runs - Wait 15-30 minutes between runs
4. Keep batches reasonable - 50-100 listings per run

No account required - This scraper uses public listing data.
