How much does it cost to scrape Quebec homes for sale?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay for successful requests, not for compute time.

Event	Charged when	Price	Per 1,000
search-page	One page of Centris listings (up to 20). An empty page is free.	$0.04	$40.00
property-details	One Centris property with its description, details and photos.	$0.004	$4.00

What a real run costs:

• 10 search links, once: $0.40
• Details for 200 properties: $0.80

Apify's $5 of free monthly usage covers about 125 search-page events.

• Failed requests (errors, invalid input, a site refusing after retries) are free.
• Requests where the source returns nothing at all (no results, nothing priced) are saved but not charged.
• Set Maximum cost per run when you start a run and the Actor stops cleanly before going over it.

Run it on a schedule

Use Apify Schedules to repeat a run hourly, daily or weekly and compare results over time, and webhooks or the Integrations tab to push new results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack or your own warehouse.

Use it with AI agents

Results are structured JSON, so they are easy to feed to a model. AI agents such as Claude can run this Actor and read its results through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need an account on the site, or an API key?

No. The Actor is ready to run as is, and you only pay the per-event prices above.

Which areas does it cover?

Centris is Quebec's real estate site, so listings are in Quebec. The default link covers all residential homes for sale there.

How many listings does one link return?

Up to 20: one page of results, for one charge.

Are square footage and year built included?

Those fields are in the output, but Centris often leaves them out, so they can be empty.

Is it legal to scrape Quebec homes for sale?

The Actor collects publicly available information that anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the results: respect the source site's terms, copyright and privacy law (such as GDPR) and do not collect personal data without a lawful basis. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.

What happens when a request is blocked or rate-limited?

Temporary errors are retried automatically. If a request still fails it is saved with the error message and not charged, and the rest of the batch keeps going. A run only fails when every request failed.

Why did a request return an error?

Read the error field: it says what was wrong with the input, for example a malformed date or an unknown id. Fix it and run again; failed requests cost nothing.

How many requests can I run at once?

Any number per run. The Actor sends up to 3 requests in parallel by default (change it under Run options); larger batches simply take longer.

Use it from your code

Call the Actor from any language through the Apify API. With the JavaScript client (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('scrapercompany/centris-property-scraper').call({
    "mode": "search",
    "urls": [
        "https://www.centris.ca/en/properties~for-sale?view=Thumbnail"
    ]
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

With Python (pip install apify-client):

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("scrapercompany/centris-property-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "search",
    "urls": ["https://www.centris.ca/en/properties~for-sale?view=Thumbnail"],
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
