Tips for Best Results

Use A Real Homestra Listing URL

• Start from a Homestra list page, not a property page.
• Keep the URL on the homestra.com domain.

Control Run Size

• Keep results_wanted around 20 to 100 for quick validation.

Scale Carefully

• Increase max_pages only when you need broader coverage.
• Enable proxies if you plan larger or repeated runs.

Proxy Configuration

For larger runs, you can enable Apify Proxy:

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

Integrations

Connect your dataset with:

• Google Sheets — Analyze property prices and metadata in spreadsheets.
• Airtable — Build searchable property research tables.
• Make — Automate enrichment, alerts, and exports.
• Zapier — Trigger downstream actions when new listings are collected.
• Webhooks — Push listings into your own systems.

Export Formats

• JSON — Best for APIs, scripts, and downstream processing.
• CSV — Useful for spreadsheets and tabular analysis.
• Excel — Suitable for stakeholder reporting.
• XML — Helpful for legacy integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape other Homestra categories?

Yes. Any Homestra listing URL with the same pagination pattern can be used as startUrl.

Does the actor save nested image metadata?

No. Images are stored as flat URL arrays to keep the dataset cleaner and easier to use.

Are empty fields kept in the dataset?

No. Empty strings, null, undefined, empty arrays, and empty objects are removed before each item is saved.

How many properties can I collect?

The actor follows Homestra pagination until it reaches results_wanted or max_pages.
