FAQ

Q: Do I need a proxy? No. The scraper uses an anonymous JWT obtained from Propwire's public free-skip-trace landing page — no login required. Works directly from Apify datacenter IPs.

Q: How does the authentication work? Propwire issues a 2-hour JWT to any visitor of their free-skip-trace lead magnet page (this is how they support anonymous "try before you sign up" skip-tracing). The scraper fetches a fresh token at the start of each run and uses it for all POST /api/property_search calls.

Q: How many results per request? The API returns 10 properties per request. The scraper paginates via result_index until maxItems is reached or results run out.

Q: What lead types can I filter by? All 40+ types listed above. You can pass any subset in leadTypes and the API will filter server-side. For finer-grained post-filtering, all active flags are also returned in each property's leadTypes array.

Q: How fresh is the data? Propwire's Elasticsearch cluster is updated continuously. Data reflects their live index — the same data you'd see if you logged into propwire.com.

Q: Is phone number / email included? No. Contact info (skip-trace data) requires a paid Propwire account. This scraper returns only the public search data. You can use the ownerMailingAddress fields for direct-mail campaigns.

Q: What's the largest search I can run? The scraper caps maxItems at 1,000 per run. For larger datasets, split by location or lead type and run multiple times.

Q: Will this work long-term? The anonymous JWT pattern is publicly documented as Propwire's "free skip trace" feature. Propwire could change the flow at any time, but as long as the /lm/free-skip-trace/search landing page issues anonymous tokens, this scraper will continue to work.
