Frequently Asked Questions

How many properties can I collect?

You can collect all available listings matching your search. The practical limit depends on the search area and total matching properties.

Does this support rental and sold properties?

Yes. Use a for-rent or sold URL as the startUrl to collect rental or recently sold listings.

What if data fields are missing?

Some fields may be null if the source listing does not provide that information. Price ranges, agent details, and coordinates are available for most listings.

Can I scrape property detail pages?

The actor extracts data from search results pages. For individual property enrichment, use the property detail URL directly as a single-result search.

Does view.com.au require proxies?

The site uses CloudFront CDN protection. Using Apify Proxy with residential IPs provides the most reliable access, especially for Australian-targeted results.
