Supported cities

Pararius covers all cities in the Netherlands. Common searches include:

• Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag (The Hague), Utrecht, Eindhoven
• Groningen, Tilburg, Almere, Breda, Nijmegen
• Haarlem, Arnhem, Leiden, Maastricht, Delft

Enter the Dutch city name in the searchQuery field (e.g., den-haag instead of "The Hague").

Proxy configuration

Pararius uses anti-bot protection that blocks datacenter IP addresses. Residential proxies with NL country code are strongly recommended for reliable scraping.

The default configuration uses:

• Apify Proxy residential group
• Country: NL (Netherlands)

If you experience blocks or empty results, try:

• Reducing maxResults to smaller batches
• Using residential proxies from a different provider
• Adding delays between requests

Use cases

• Rental market analysis — Track average rents by city, neighborhood, or property type across the Netherlands.
• Property monitoring — Set up scheduled runs to detect new listings matching your criteria.
• Real estate investment — Compare rental yields across Dutch cities and neighborhoods.
• Academic research — Collect housing market data for urban planning or economics studies.
• Relocation planning — Quickly scan available rentals in your target Dutch city.

Integrations

Connect this actor with other tools via Apify integrations:

• Google Sheets — Automatically export listings to a spreadsheet.
• Slack / Email — Get notified when new listings match your criteria.
• Zapier / Make — Connect to 1000+ other apps for custom workflows.
• API — Access results programmatically via the Apify API.

Limitations

• Pararius enforces rate limiting and bot detection. Residential proxies are essential.
• Very large scraping runs (5000+ listings) should be split across multiple runs.
• Some listing details may only be available on the detail page, not in search results.
• Listing availability can change quickly — data reflects the state at scrape time.

Legal and ethical use

This actor is designed for legitimate data collection purposes such as market research, academic study, and personal property search. Always comply with Pararius's terms of service and applicable data protection regulations when using scraped data.
