Input

You can provide input either through the editor on the Apify platform or as a JSON object.

The only mandatory fields you need to provide are:

• at least one of: startUrls or searchLocations.
• if you will provide searchLocations, at least one of: searchTypeBuy, searchTypeRent, and searchTypeSold with the value true (by default, searchTypeBuy is true).

An example of minimal input:

1{
2    "startUrls": [
3        {
4            "url": "https://www.trulia.com/p/ca/fremont/3366-peralta-blvd-fremont-ca-94536--2083375174"
5        }
6    ],
7    "searchLocations": [
8        "San Francisco"
9    ],
10    "searchTypeBuy": true,
11    "sortOption": "NEW_LISTINGS",
12    "proxyConfiguration": {
13        "useApifyProxy": true
14    }
15}

The scraper forcibly use Apify Proxy so that you don’t get blocked by Trulia. You should also use a low value for max concurrency.

Output

For each search location combined with the search type (Buy, Rent, or Sold), and for each start URL, you get home results.

The output of each home looks like this:
