Centris Canada Property Scraper

Extract real-estate listings from Centris.ca — Quebec's official MLS marketplace — into clean, structured JSON. Paste a Centris search link (or pick a few filters) and get every matching property with price, address, beds and baths, the listing broker and agency, map coordinates, year built, living area, parking, and the full photo set.

Why use this actor

• No account, no login, no API key — just paste a search URL and run.
• Full listing detail — beyond the search card: broker name and agency, exact map coordinates, room counts, year built, living area, parking, move-in date, and every listing photo.
• Works from a normal Centris search — filter on the site the way you already do (region, property type, price, bedrooms…), copy the URL, and the actor reproduces that exact search.
• French accents preserved — city and street names come out correctly (e.g. Montréal, Côte-de-Liesse), ready for databases and spreadsheets.
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, CRMs, and analysis, with automatic retries built in.
• Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or run it on a schedule.

How it works

1. Paste one or more Centris search-results URLs, or choose a category, selling type, property type, and region.
2. The actor reproduces your search and walks through every results page.
3. For each listing it collects the summary data (price, address, beds/baths, photo).
4. With Fetch full listing details on, it opens each property page to add broker and agency, map coordinates, characteristics, and the complete photo gallery.
5. Every property is saved as one row in the dataset.

You don't manage any scrapers, browsers, or blocks — just provide a search and collect the results.

  "sellingType": "Sale",
  "propertyType": "SingleFamilyHome",
  "geographicArea": "GSGS4621",
  "fetchDetail": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Notes & limits

• brokerNames, agency, latitude, longitude, rooms, description, characteristics, and images are collected only when fetchDetail is on. With it off you still get MLS number, price, address, city, beds/baths, and the thumbnail — much faster.
• A single search returns up to ~5000 listings. For a region with more inventory, split it into several searches (by sub-region or price range) and pass them all in searchUrls.
• Region codes (e.g. GSGS4621 = Montreal Island) are embedded in every Centris search URL — the easiest way to target a region is to paste its search URL.
• For large runs, enable Residential proxies with country Canada for the most reliable results.
