⚡ Why Propwire Leads Scraper Beats Alternatives

• 🚀 Pure HTTP Fast-Path Architecture: Unlike sluggish, resource-draining Puppeteer/Playwright browser scrapers that crash or consume gigabytes of RAM, this actor operates over pure HTTP with TLS fingerprinting (Chrome 130+) and HTTP/2 multiplexing.
• 🛡️ Built-in Anti-Bot Bypass: Transparently negotiates guest session tokens and session cookies with automatic routing failover between Propwire's internal JSON API and web-proxy endpoints.
• 🎯 Granular Motivated Seller Filtering: Automatically parses lead criteria from natural language queries (e.g. "Dallas County, TX Absentee Owners") or deep search URLs.
• 💎 Rich Intelligence in Every Record: Delivers over 25 enriched fields per property, including owner name, address, estimated equity, equity percentage, property type, living area SF, year built, bedrooms, bathrooms, and historical sale prices.

💰 Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

This actor operates on a pay-as-you-go Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing model. You only pay for what you extract:

Event Name	Purpose	Price (USD)	Description
apify-default-dataset-item	result	$0.002	Single result in the default dataset.
market-analysis	AI market analysis	$0.15	Charged per area analyzed with the AI market pass (median values, local rents, gross yield, short-let potential, demand signals, risks). Cached 90 days — repeat lookups of the same area are charged only once per fresh analysis. Only when marketAnalysis is enabled and the user is on a paid plan.
additional-data	Additional data	$0.001	Charged for additional data
apify-actor-start	Actor Start	$0.05	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
