Frequently Asked Questions

How many listings can I collect?

You can collect as many as available within your selected filters. For consistent runtime, increase limits gradually.

Can I scrape multiple countries in one run?

Yes. Provide multiple country codes in countries, for example ["D", "A", "I"].

Why are some fields empty?

Some listings do not provide every attribute (for example seats, doors, or street address), so those values may be null.

Can I use my own search URL?

Yes. Add a custom URL in startUrls and the actor will use it as the query source.

Is seller information included?

Yes. Seller identifiers, seller type, contact name, and available phone numbers are included when present.
