Tips for better results

Start with one city and a small maxItems value.

Use specific Zameen category URLs instead of the homepage.

Increase maxPages only after a successful test run.

Keep includeDetails off unless you need detail-page enrichment.

Run the actor on a schedule to monitor market changes.

Use dataset deduplication downstream if you combine many repeated runs.

Use a stable set of source URLs to compare inventory over time.

Data quality notes

Zameen page layouts can change.

Some fields are only present on some listing cards.

Agency and seller names may not appear in public HTML for every listing.

Contact options indicate visible buttons, not private phone numbers.

Price strings are preserved exactly as displayed.

Troubleshooting

If you get zero listings, verify your URL is a public Zameen search page.

If results stop early, increase maxPages and keep followPagination enabled.

If detail enrichment is slow, turn includeDetails off.

If fields are missing, check whether the same fields are visible on the Zameen page.

FAQ

Can I scrape any Zameen city?

Yes. Paste a public Zameen search/category URL for the city you need, then set maxItems and maxPages.

Does this actor reveal private phone numbers?

No. It records visible contact-action availability such as call, WhatsApp, or email buttons, not private contact values hidden by the website.

Why are some agency or seller fields empty?

Those fields are optional because Zameen does not expose the same seller details on every listing card.

Should I enable detail pages?

Use includeDetails only when you need extra detail text or image enrichment. Listing-card mode is faster and cheaper.

Legality and responsible use

This actor extracts publicly available listing information.

Use the data responsibly.

Do not use scraped data for spam, harassment, or unlawful targeting.
