  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}

urls: Array of individual property listing URLs (not search pages). Format: https://www.quintoandar.com.br/alugar/imovel/[property-slug] or /comprar/imovel/[property-slug]. Collect URLs from QuintoAndar search results or use a search scraper first.

ignore_url_failures: Set true when scraping multiple URLs. Individual failures (removed listings, expired properties) won't stop the entire run. Essential for large datasets.

max_items_per_url: Maximum items per URL. For individual property pages, this typically stays at default since each URL represents one property. Relevant when batch processing.

Usage Guide

1. Collect Property URLs: Gather individual property listing URLs from QuintoAndar search results or use a complementary search scraper. URLs must be detail pages, not search/filter pages.

2. Configure Input: Add URLs to JSON array. Set ignore_url_failures: true for robust batch processing. Adjust max_items_per_url if needed (typically leave at default for property details).

3. Validate URLs: Test with 5-10 URLs first. Verify they're property detail pages following format: /alugar/imovel/[slug] or /comprar/imovel/[slug].

4. Run Scraper: Execute via Apify console. Processing 50 properties typically completes in 2-4 minutes depending on proxy performance.

5. Export Data: Download as JSON (databases), CSV (spreadsheets), or Excel (reporting). Filter by for_rent/for_sale flags to separate rental and sales data.

Error Handling: Failed URLs indicate removed listings or invalid formats. Check activity log for details. URLs from other QuintoAndar pages (user profiles, blog) will fail.

Strategic Applications

Rental Yield Analysis: Calculate rental returns using yield_value, rent_price, and sale_price. Identify high-performing investment neighborhoods.

Market Pricing Intelligence: Track price per m² across neighborhoods, property types, and amenities. Benchmark pricing strategies.

Inventory Monitoring: Track competitor listings—what properties they offer, pricing positioning, amenities emphasis. Monitor new construction releases via is_primary_market.

Demand Forecasting: Analyze amenities trends (increasing gym/coworking space mentions) and furnished property growth to predict market shifts.

Location Analysis: Aggregate data by neighborhood/region to identify emerging areas, oversupplied markets, or undervalued locations.

Client Matching: Use detailed specs (bedrooms, amenities, furnished status) to automatically match properties to client requirements.

Best Practices

Regular Scraping: Brazilian real estate moves quickly. Weekly scraping captures new listings and price changes. Store historical data to track price trends.

Segment by Transaction Type: Separate rental and sales data using for_rent/for_sale flags for cleaner analysis.

Enrich with External Data: Combine with crime statistics, school ratings, transport access data for comprehensive location scoring.

Calculate True Costs: Use total_cost (not just rent_price) for accurate affordability analysis. Include condo_iptu in buyer calculations.

Quality Checks: Validate area > 0, prices are reasonable, required fields (address, city) are populated. Flag anomalies for review.
