💰 Pricing

🔧 Technical Details

Architecture

This actor uses a 3-tier approach for maximum reliability:

1. Stingray JSON API (primary) — Fastest, lightweight HTTP requests to Redfin's internal API
2. Stingray CSV API (fallback) — Bulk download endpoint for when JSON API is rate-limited
3. Camoufox Browser (last resort) — Stealth browser rendering when API endpoints are blocked

Anti-Bot Handling

• Cloudflare WAF bypass via Camoufox stealth browser
• Smart rate limiting with Retry-After header respect
• Exponential backoff with jitter (max 3 retries)
• 2-4 second random delays between requests
• Residential proxy rotation

Proxy Requirements

Residential proxies are strongly recommended for best results. Datacenter proxies may work for small batches but will be blocked quickly.

🤔 FAQ

Q: How many results can I scrape? A: Up to 10,000 per run. For larger datasets, run multiple times with different locations.

Q: How fast is it? A: In API mode (default), ~50-100 listings per minute. With detail enrichment enabled, ~10-20 per minute due to rate limiting.

Q: What's the difference between includeDetails true/false? A: With includeDetails: false, you get basic search data (address, price, beds, baths, sqft). With true, you get 30+ fields including Redfin Estimate, walk scores, price/tax history, and photos.

Q: Can I scrape sold properties? A: Yes! Set listingStatus to sold or use a Redfin URL with sold filters.
