How to avoid duplicate listings between actor runs?

Closed

I'm using this actor to collect rental listings and running it periodically. Currently I'm receiving the same listings in subsequent runs, which is costing extra credits and creating duplicates in my database.

Is there a configuration option or parameter that would allow me to only receive new listings that haven't been collected in previous runs? Ideally I'd like a solution that doesn't require code modifications.

Thanks a ton!

Hi, thanks for opening this issue!

Unfortunately, this is not natively possible by the scraper. We can only get the data from the website, and there is no option there to filter out certain results from the search. So we would also be losing credits if we were to add such a feature on our end.

This is usually something that our users should, to where it's still possible, set up on their end, in order to not waste our and their resources. You should be filtering out duplicate results from your database anyway, as that is what a very good use case for one.

I hope this helps, thanks!
