❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many listings can I scrape? A: FREE tier: 25 per run. PAID tier: unlimited.

Q: Why are some prices in UF and some in CLP? A: Chile quotes property in UF (an inflation-indexed unit) or CLP (pesos). Each row keeps its native currency and a USD conversion at the run's live FX rate.

Q: Does Detail mode lose the list fields? A: No — Detail rows merge in every Overview field, so each detail record is complete.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV, Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset.

Q: Can I use my own search filters? A: Yes. Build a search on Portalinmobiliario and paste the URL with bySearchUrl — every filter and sort is preserved.

Q: Do I need an account or API key for the site? A: No. Just your Apify token.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Every run reads live listings at the moment it runs.

🐛 Troubleshooting

No results returned

• Check the location slug matches a real Portalinmobiliario URL (e.g. santiago-metropolitana).
• In bySearchUrl, confirm the URL opens a results page in your browser.

Fewer results than expected

• Raise maxResults and maxPages. FREE tier caps at 25 listings/run.

Detail mode is slower than Overview

• Expected — Detail opens each listing page. Use Overview for high-volume list pulls and Detail for the records you need enriched.
