• Rich data extraction — name, price/night, total price, rating, reviews, host, bedrooms, beds, baths, amenities, images, and URLs
• Pagination support — automatically follows "Next" pages up to your maxResults limit
• Anti-detection — randomized user agents, stealth browser args, human-like delays, no proxy required
• Price & property filters — filter by min/max price and property type (apartment/house/all)
• ESM / Node 22+ — modern JavaScript throughout

Anti-Detection Strategy

• Random user agent from pool of 4 real Chrome strings
• Playwright args to disable AutomationControlled and other fingerprinting vectors
• navigator.webdriver override via addInitScript
• Mock window.chrome, navigator.plugins, navigator.languages
• Random delays (1–5s) between pages and locations
• No proxy required — works from datacenter IPs

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-use, no monthly fees:

	Price
Actor start	$0.01
Per result	$0.01

💡 Example: A run returning 500 results costs $5.01 total ($0.01 start + 500 × $0.01).
