- **Full Actor documentation**: https://apify.com/logiover/redfin-scraper.md

## Changelog

### 2026-09-01

- Fleet-wide health check. Verified against this Actor's real run history: 30-day success rate, output row counts, per-field fill rates, and peak memory against the configured memory limit.
- Reviewed for the failure patterns that have cost this fleet runs — unguarded proxy setup, retry loops that can outlast the run's own time budget, and full-page HTML parsing that can exhaust a small container.
- No change to input, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-08-11

- Maintenance release: refreshed the build and dependencies.
- Re-verified live execution, non-empty structured output and dataset field/type integrity.
- Reviewed reliability (retries, pagination) and output quality as part of a full-fleet QA pass.

### 2026-08-05

- Renamed the Actor to a descriptive title ("Real Estate Scraper for Redfin Home Listings Data") and added an explicit trademark disclaimer to the description, input schema and README: this is an independent tool, **not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Redfin Corporation**. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
- No change to inputs, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-07-18

- Maintenance & reliability pass — re-verified end-to-end against live data via the Apify API; confirmed the Actor completes successfully and returns non-empty, well-formed results within the 5-minute quality window on its default input.
- Refreshed build so the latest version is current; no change to inputs, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-07-12

- All inputs are now optional — running with empty input `{}` returns recent listings for a default metro instead of erroring. No field is required.
- Added a **Metro area** dropdown (20 major US metros) so you can scrape a city in one click without finding a Redfin URL. A stale metro slug self-heals via Redfin's autocomplete.
- Added a **Property type** dropdown (House, Condo, Townhouse, Multi-family, Land, Mobile, or All), wired into the listings query.
- Removed the hard error on missing locations; the run stays graceful and logs issues.
- Added a ~4-minute time budget: long paginations stop early, push what's collected, and exit successfully.
- Added per-field titles/descriptions to the dataset schema (kept nullable-safe so records aren't dropped); numeric columns render as numbers.
- Kept Apify Proxy · RESIDENTIAL · US as the default (Redfin needs residential US IPs).

### 2026-06-28

- Health check passed — actor verified working end-to-end on Apify platform.
- Changelog refreshed for Store quality compliance.

### 2026-06-20

- Maintenance & reliability pass: re-verified end-to-end against live data and confirmed the Actor completes successfully within the 5-minute quality window on the default input.
- Refreshed the prefilled example input and tuned run defaults for faster, lower-cost runs.
