❓Limitations

Since Propertypal allows only 3000 properties per listing/search result, you might want to break down your listing urls into smaller area if it has more than 1K results. Good News is that even if multiple list urls contains overlapping results, they will get deduplicated within same run data.

This actor has ability to bypass captcha. However, please run this actor with residential proxy with country United Kingdom to get results smoothly.

🔎 Identifying delisted properties

This actor provides you monitoring mode configuration using which you can get only incremental updates about newly added properties. In case, you also want to identify which properties are delisted from platform, you can use any of the following techniques with the help of this actor.

1. Running Always in full scraper mode : Run this actor always in full scrape mode and cross check the new incoming batch of data with your existing database. If any property that exists in yoru database but not in newly scraped data batch, that means it's not listed anymore

2. Use Key Value Store generated by scraper : If your are monitoring very large batch of data and you don't want to scrape everything all the time, this method involves bit of technicality but achieves the goal efectively. Apify has storage feature called Key-value store. When you run this scrape, this scraper stores every single property in key value store along with timestamp in propertypal-properties store. Inside this store, key is property id itself and value is timestamp like this

   { lastSeen : '2023-11-02T05:59:25.763Z'}
   

   Whenever you run this scraper, it will update the timestamp against particular id if it finds property on the platform. e.g. if we have 2 proprties with id prop1 and prop2 and we scraped them both on November 1, key value storage would look like this :

   prop1 -> { lastSeen : '2023-11-01T05:59:25.763Z'}
   prop2 -> { lastSeen : '2023-11-01T05:59:25.763Z'}
   

   Now if you run this scraper again on December 1 and prop1 is not on the platform anymore but prop2 is still there, key value storage would change like this :

   prop1 -> { lastSeen : '2023-11-01T05:59:25.763Z'}
   prop2 -> { lastSeen : '2023-12-01T05:59:25.763Z'}
   

   That means if any property has lastSeen less than latest batch you loaded, that property is delisted now. You can directly iterate through whole Key value storage using Apify key value storage API to identify this. Please refer to this API documentation to do the same. Please remember store name generated by this scrape will be propertypal-properties.

   Alternatively, you can iterate through your existing database active properties and use this API to identify listing status.

   For this approach to work, it's important that you enable this feature via enableDelistingTracker (Enable Delisting tracker) input.

� Pricing Model & Usage Logic

This actor uses Apify's Pay-Per-Event (PPE) billing model, with usage tracked and charged based on the number of properties processed and additional multipliers. Charges are triggered at specific usage thresholds and events.

🟢 Charge Events & Tiers

The actor uses a tiered pricing model based on the number of properties processed. Each tier has a specific rate per 1,000 properties:

🔻 Cost Efficiency as You Scale: The tier-based pricing model is designed to reduce your cost per property as your usage increases. The more properties you process, the lower your per-unit cost becomes, helping keep your overall costs under control as you scale up to higher volumes.

Starter Tier (starter-tier-1K)

For the first 25,000 properties processed, the cost per 1,000 properties is $2.00 USD. This tier is ideal for small to medium jobs and ensures a low entry cost for initial usage.

Growth Tier (growth-tier-1K)

For properties processed from 25,000 up to 50,000 the cost per 1,000 properties drops to $1.50 USD. This tier rewards higher volume usage with a reduced rate, making it cost-effective for scaling up.

Scale Tier (scale-tier-1K)

For properties processed from 50,000 up to 200,000 the cost per 1,000 properties is $1.00 USD. This tier is designed for large-scale operations, offering further discounts as your volume increases.

Enterprise Tier (enterprise-tier-1K)

For properties processed above 200,000 the cost per 1,000 properties is $0.80 USD. This tier is for enterprise-level usage, providing the lowest rate for very high-volume processing.

Each charge event is triggered automatically as your processed property count crosses into the next tier. The actor tracks usage and applies the correct rate for each tier, ensuring transparent and predictable billing.

These pricing tiers are applied on a monthly basis, and your usage count resets at the start of each new month. This ensures you always start fresh and only pay for what you use each month.

Example:

• Scraping 300,000 properties in a month:
  • $2.00 per 1K properties for the first 25,000 properties ($50)
  • $1.50 per 1K properties upto 50,000 properties ($37.50)
  • $1.00 per 1K properties upto 200,000 properties ($150)
  • $0.80 per 1K properties above 200,000 properties ($80)
  • Total: $317.50

📊 Cost Per 1K Units – How Billing Works

The pricing is calculated in batches of 1,000 units. This means:

• Initial Charge: When you start the actor, it reserves and charges you for 1K units (1,000 properties or their equivalent based on multipliers).
• Continuous Usage: You can continue scraping in the same run or across multiple runs. As long as your usage stays within that 1K batch, no additional charges are applied.
• Next Batch: Only when you exhaust the 1K quota, the system charges you for the next 1K batch. This billing cycle repeats for every 1K units consumed.
• Pay-As-You-Go: You only pay for the batches you actually use. If you scrape 1,500 properties in total (across runs), you'll be charged for 2 batches (2K units).

Example Timeline:

1. Start run #1 → Charged for 1K units (can scrape up to 1,000 properties)
2. Scrape 800 properties in run #1 (200 units remaining in current 1K batch)
3. Start run #2 → Use the remaining 200 units + 100 from next 1K batch → Charged for 2nd 1K batch
4. Continue in run #3 → Still within the 2K batch until you exceed it
5. When you exceed 2K total → Automatically charged for 3rd 1K batch

This ensures predictable billing in discrete 1K chunks, making it easier to manage your usage and costs.

⚡ Additional Usage Parameters (Multipliers)

The following options increase the usage count for each property scraped, affecting your billing. These multipliers are cumulative.

Feature	Multiplier	Impact
Full Property Details	+2.0x	Fetches detailed property information beyond basic listing data
Monitoring Mode	+3.0x	Tracks only newly listed properties compared to previous runs; requires additional tracking logic
Delisting Tracker	+2.0x	Enables tracking of delisted properties with timestamps in KV Store; requires additional storage
Empty Tracker Records	+0.5x	Adds tracker ID records in incremental mode for delisting identification
Residential Proxy	+5.0x	Uses Apify's Residential proxy service for UK-based scraping (higher cost and complexity)
Additional Memory	+1.0x per 2GB	Charges for each 2GB block above the 2GB base allocation

Example Calculation:

• Scraping 100 properties with:

  • Full Property Details: ON (2.0x)
  • Monitoring Mode: ON (3.0x)
  • Residential Proxy: ON (5.0x)

  Total Units Charged = 100 × (1 + 2.0 + 3.0 + 5.0) = 100 × 11 = 1,100 units

  This would trigger a 1K charge in your current tier.

Cost Optimization Tips

✅ Enable Full Details Only When Needed – If basic property info is sufficient, disable this option to reduce charges ✅ Use Monitoring Mode Strategically – Enable monitoring to scrape only new properties and avoid re-scraping old listings ✅ Batch Your Scrapes – Running multiple targeted scrapes may be more cost-effective than one massive scrape ✅ Monitor Your Usage – Keep track of your monthly usage to understand which tier you're in ✅ Budget Planning – Set a monthly budget via ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD environment variable to control spending

💡 Tip: Run this actor on 2GB memory for optimal performance and cost efficiency. The actor is highly optimized for this setting. Only increase memory if you have specific needs, as additional memory will increase your usage charges.
