Tips for Best Results

Choose Specific Keywords

• Use brand and model for precise results: "rolex submariner", "omega seamaster", "patek philippe nautilus"
• Use brand-only for broader results: "audemars piguet", "richard mille"
• Use category URLs from Chrono24's navigation for pre-filtered searches

Use Residential Proxy for Production

When running on Apify's infrastructure, Chrono24 may challenge datacenter IP addresses. Enable a residential proxy group for reliable, uninterrupted extraction:

{
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    }
}

Optimize Result Count

• Start with results_wanted: 20 for testing - completes in seconds
• Increase to 100-500 for research datasets
• Combine with max_pages to control depth of pagination

Frequently Asked Questions

How many watch listings can I collect?

You can collect as many listings as Chrono24 displays for your search. Typically, each search shows up to 60 listings per page, and you can paginate through multiple pages using the max_pages parameter.

Can I scrape a specific watch category?

Yes. Navigate to any Chrono24 category or search results page in your browser, copy the URL, and paste it as the url input parameter. The actor will extract all listings from that URL.

What additional data is available beyond the basics?

Each listing includes rich data such as seller location, shipping costs, a gallery of up to 5 high-resolution images, reference numbers, condition information, and promoted status. This gives you a complete picture of each listing.

Why do I need a proxy?

Chrono24 uses Cloudflare protection that may challenge requests from datacenter IP addresses. Residential proxy bypasses this and ensures reliable data delivery. The actor works without a proxy for testing but a proxy is recommended for production runs.

Are duplicate listings filtered?

Yes. The actor tracks all extracted listing URLs and automatically skips any duplicates encountered during pagination.

What does total_listings mean?

The total_listings field reflects the total number of matching results Chrono24 reports for your search (visible on their results page). It is not the number of items collected - use results_wanted to control how many you actually save.

What if some fields are missing?

The actor only saves fields that have actual values. If a listing doesn't have a price, image, or other field, that field is simply omitted - there are no null or empty values in the output.

How fast is the scraper?

Approximately 60 listings are extracted per page request, which typically takes 2-5 seconds. Collecting 20 listings takes under 10 seconds on average.
