Proxy Configuration

Preply uses Cloudflare protection. The actor first attempts direct HTTP access (which works for the public ChatGPT OpenAPI endpoint) and automatically falls back to Playwright with a residential proxy if blocked. Enabling useProxy: true (default) ensures maximum reliability.

FAQ

Q: Does this require a Preply account or API key? A: No. The actor uses Preply's public tutor directory and their publicly documented OpenAPI endpoint — no authentication required.

Q: Can I filter by availability? A: Yes — use the availabilityDay field to filter by day of the week.

Q: Why use a proxy? A: Preply uses Cloudflare to protect against automated scraping. Residential proxies present requests as regular user traffic, significantly improving success rates.

Q: How fresh is the data? A: Each run fetches live data from Preply at the moment of execution. Tutor profiles, ratings, and prices reflect the current state of Preply's platform.

Q: How many tutors can I scrape? A: Up to 5,000 per run. For larger datasets, run the actor multiple times with different filter settings.

Q: Are education and certificate details available? A: Yes — use mode=getTutor with specific tutor IDs/URLs to fetch full profiles including education history and certificates.
