The default configuration is designed to keep small test runs inexpensive. Larger datasets can be collected by increasing maxItems.

Actual costs may vary depending on the Actor's current Apify pricing configuration and proxy usage.

Proxy configuration

The Actor supports Apify Proxy configuration through the proxyConfiguration input.

Residential proxies are used by default in the provided configuration.

Data freshness

Daft.ie listings can change over time. For price monitoring and historical analysis, schedule the Actor to run periodically using Apify schedules.
