🛠️ Input

Field	Type	Description	Default value / Example
startUrl	array	the search page's result link	https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-townhouse-villa-between-210000-235000/list-1?maxSoldAge=3-month&source=refinement

⚠️ Notes

This scraper returns a maximum of 2000 ads per search request, which is the same limit as the website. To scrape beyond this limit, divide your search into multiple requests by adjusting filters (e.g., price range, location, etc.) using the filters button on the website or by modifying the URL directly.

Example: Segmenting by Price Range

Original URL (Broad Price Range: 0–900,000) https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/between-0-900000-in-melbourne+-+northern+region,+vic/list-1?source=refinement

Segmented URLs (Non-Overlapping Ranges)

1. Lower Range: 0–450,000 https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/between-0-450000-in-melbourne+-+northern+region,+vic/list-1?source=refinement
2. Upper Range: 450,001–900,000 https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/between-450001-900000-in-melbourne+-+northern+region,+vic/list-1?source=refinement

You can apply this logic to other filters (e.g., date, bedrooms, property type) if needed.

Please also note that this is the first version of the actor, and it currently supports scraping 'buy,' 'rent,' and 'sold' listings only. We are actively working on adding support for 'share' and 'new homes' listings. Stay tuned! (Or contact the developer if it's urgent.)
