Scraping Modes & Pagination

Scrape Modes

Control how results are ordered before applying limits:

• default: Returns results in Crexi's default order
• newest: Sorts by listing date (newest first) - ideal for monitoring new listings
• random: Shuffles results randomly - useful for sampling variety

Pagination with skipResults

Use skipResults and maxProperties together to paginate through large result sets across multiple runs:

Run	skipResults	maxProperties	Result
1st	0	20	Properties 1-20
2nd	20	20	Properties 21-40
3rd	40	20	Properties 41-60

Scrolling for More Results

The scraper scrolls the page to trigger Crexi's infinite scroll and load more properties. Adjust maxScrolls based on how many results you need:

• 5 scrolls (default): ~50-100 properties
• 10 scrolls: ~100-200 properties
• 20 scrolls: ~200-400 properties

Example: Monitor New Listings

{
  "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties?term=davita"}],
  "scrapeMode": "newest",
  "maxProperties": 10,
  "maxScrolls": 10
}

Example: Paginate Through All Results

{
  "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties?placeIds%5B%5D=..."}],
  "skipResults": 50,
  "maxProperties": 50,
  "maxScrolls": 20
}

Example: Random Sampling

{
  "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties?placeIds%5B%5D=..."}],
  "scrapeMode": "random",
  "maxProperties": 10,
  "maxScrolls": 15
}

Single Property URLs

You can scrape individual property pages directly by using their URL. The scraper auto-detects single property URLs and fetches full details automatically (no need to set includeListingDetails).

Example: Single Property

{
  "startUrls": [
    {"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties/597828"}
  ]
}

Example: Multiple Single Properties

{
  "startUrls": [
    {"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties/597828"},
    {"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties/612345"},
    {"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties/789012"}
  ]
}

Example: Mixed (Search + Single Properties)

{
  "startUrls": [
    {"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties/597828"},
    {"url": "https://www.crexi.com/properties?term=davita"}
  ],
  "includeListingDetails": true
}

Tips for Best Results

1. Use Apify Proxy: Enable RESIDENTIAL proxies to avoid Cloudflare blocks
2. Start Small: Test with maxProperties: 5 before running large scrapes
3. Detail Fetching: Each property detail adds ~1-2 seconds; plan accordingly
4. Search Filters: Use Crexi's URL filters to narrow results before scraping

Make.com Integration

This actor integrates seamlessly with Make.com:

1. Add "Apify" module in Make.com
2. Select "Run Actor"
3. Choose this actor
4. Configure input JSON
5. Use "Get Dataset Items" to fetch results
6. Process results in downstream modules (Google Sheets, Airtable, etc.)

Example Make.com Scenario

1. Schedule (trigger)
   ↓
2. Apify: Run Actor
   - Actor: crexi-scraper
   - Input: { startUrls, includeListingDetails, etc. }
   - Wait for completion: Yes
   ↓
3. Apify: Get Dataset Items
   - Dataset ID: {{datasetId}}
   ↓
4. Google Sheets: Add Rows
   - Map fields from dataset

Limitations

• Detail fetching increases runtime (~1-2 seconds per property)
• Some properties may not have all fields (vacant properties won't have tenant info)
• Cloudflare may occasionally block requests; retry or use proxies
