❓ FAQ

🔍 How does the scraper work? It retrieves accommodation listings based on your filters, then collects detailed property pages to extract room by room rental rates, commute times, amenity lists, and booking policies.

📊 How accurate is the data? Rental rates and availability are current from Student.com as of the last run. Costs may change daily, so we recommend re-running the scraper to monitor trends over time.

📅 Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes. After your first run, you can set up automated recurring runs via Apify's scheduling feature or integrate with Make, Zapier, or other workflow automation tools.

⚖️ Is web scraping Student.com allowed? Student.com is a public marketplace with publicly available listings. However, always check Student.com's terms of service and robots.txt. Web scraping is your responsibility to use legally and ethically. Scraping and data collection is publicly available information that you are collecting for your own use.

🛡️ Will Student.com block my scraper? Student.com actively resists automated access. We strongly recommend using residential proxies to avoid IP bans. Our scraper works best with Apify's residential proxy support, which rotates your IP address to mimic real user traffic.

⚡ How long does a run take? For 100 properties: 5 to 10 minutes. For 1,000 properties: 45 to 90 minutes. Timing depends on Student.com's response speed and your chosen request throttle rate. Each property detail collection adds 1-2 seconds due to our throttling to avoid blocking.

⚠️ Are there any limits? Free users can collect up to 100 results per run. Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.
