📋 What this scraper does

Centris.ca lists tens of thousands of Quebec properties for sale and rent. This actor turns a Centris search into a clean, structured dataset you can analyse, map or feed into a CRM.

Give it one or more cities (e.g. Montreal, Quebec City) and your filters, and it will:

• ✅ Collect every matching listing, page after page
• ✅ Return the price, property type and for-sale / for-rent status
• ✅ Break out bedrooms, bathrooms and living area
• ✅ Capture the full address and city / borough
• ✅ Include the main photo and a link to the listing
• ✅ Optionally enrich each listing with GPS coordinates, broker, agency, full description, all photos and the MLS number
• ✅ De-duplicate every listing by its Centris ID
