How many results can you scrape with RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper?

RealEstate.com.au Property Scraper can extract thousands of Australian property listings per run on paid Apify plans (up to 40 listings per run on the Free plan). Keep these tips in mind when scraping Australian suburbs:

• Australian Auction & "Contact Agent" pricing conventions — in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, many properties are marketed via public auction ("Auction", "Expressions of Interest", or "Contact Agent") rather than a fixed numeric asking price. The price field captures the exact price guide or auction label published by the listing agency.
• Partition state-wide sweeps by suburb or 4-digit postcode — realestate.com.au caps pagination at 80 pages (~2,000 properties) per individual search URL. When scraping an entire metro (like Greater Sydney or Melbourne), pass multiple suburb or postcode search URLs in startUrls.
• Pair with Allhomes for ACT & NSW depth — combine realestate.com.au with our Allhomes Australia Property Scraper for deep coverage of Canberra (ACT) and regional New South Wales.
