Tips for Best Results

Use Direct Listing URLs

• For the highest reliability, provide the URL of a listing page (e.g. https://www.zameen.com/Homes/Lahore-1-1.html).
• This avoids intermediate resolution steps and ensures the exact data you want.

Optimize result count

• Start with a small results_wanted (e.g. 20) to verify your filters.
• Increase for larger datasets once you are satisfied with the output.

Enable Proxy Configuration

• Always use proxy settings to ensure stability over large runs.
• Standard data center proxies are usually sufficient.
