Tips For Best Results

Keep Initial Runs Small

Start with results_wanted: 20 and max_pages: 2 to validate coverage, then scale.

Use Stable Search URLs

Use canonical city/state or ZIP-based search URLs for consistent pagination behavior.

Scale Collection Gradually

Use smaller results_wanted and max_pages values first, then scale gradually.

Use Residential Proxy For Reliability

Residential proxy settings improve consistency on stricter traffic patterns.
