• Property ID, URL, title, badge, type, description, and product depth.
• Address broken into street, full address, suburb, state, and postcode.
• Display price, property features, land size, and building size.
• Main image, additional images, floorplans, virtual tours, and videos.
• Listing agency details, rating, reviews, profile URL, logo, and associated agents.
• Buy-specific inspection, auction, introduction, parent-property, and price information.
• Rent-specific inspection times, availability date, bond, and build-to-rent information.
• Sold-specific sale date and price disclaimer information.

Fields that do not apply to a listing type may be empty or omitted. Property descriptions are returned as readable text rather than HTML.

Limitations

• Results depend on the availability and accuracy of listings on Realestate.com.au.
• The actor processes at most 80 result pages (rea limit) and may return fewer records than requested when the search has fewer matching listings.
• This actor does not perform full individual-listing scraping.

Error Handling

The actor validates common input types and keeps valid filters while ignoring invalid values. Price, bedroom, and land-size values are clamped to zero when appropriate, and sold-listing age is limited to 999 months.

Search and parsing errors are logged with details. Because errors are handled inside the search operation, a failed request may result in an empty or partial dataset rather than a detailed error record. Check the actor run log when no results are returned.
