Notes

• 0 / empty string "" means no filter.
• Some filters are conditional (vacant land / multi-family / parking / house-only). They’ll be applied only when compatible.
• For large crawls, use sortBy consistently (e.g. newest or lowPrice) so pagination behaves predictably.

Each dataset item contains the raw Realtor.ca-style listing data, including (fields vary per listing):

• Id, MlsNumber, URL
• Property.Address (full address, lat/lon, postal code, province)
• Property.Price, PriceUnformattedValue, ShortValue
• Building (type, bedrooms, bathrooms, stories, interior size)
• Land (if present)
• OwnershipType, Parking, ParkingSpaceTotal
• Individual (agents/brokerage info, links, phones, websites)
• Media (photo URLs, timestamps)
• Status, tags (TimeOnRealtor, labels like "15 min ago")
• Language-specific URLs (RelativeURLEn, RelativeURLFr)

This structure is ideal for:

• Enriching your own real-estate databases
• Building comparables / valuation models
• CRM/lead routing
• Analytics, heatmaps, dashboards, alerts

🌍 Proxy configuration

To reduce blocking and improve geo-relevance, enable Apify Proxy:

"proxyConfiguration": {
  "useApifyProxy": true,
  "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
}

🔎 Tips

• Start with small maxItems to validate filters.
• Use precise location plus filters (beds/baths/price/type) for cleaner datasets.
• For sold/analytics use-cases, combine soldWithinDays, price, and propertyType to model local markets.
