📈 Performance & limits

💡 Tips for best results

1. Use price and bedroom filters: Narrow results to relevant listings before hitting the 4,000 result cap
2. Combine location + URL: Pass a pre-filtered Trulia URL via startUrls for precise targeting
3. Enable includeDetails: Required for amenities list, description, price history, taxes, and virtual tours
4. Scrape by ZIP code: More precise than city-level searches for dense markets
5. Scale with multiple URLs: Pass several filtered search URLs to cover full inventory in large cities

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a Trulia account? A: No. The scraper accesses only publicly available listing data, no login required.

Q: Why are some fields empty? A: Fields like description, amenities, priceHistory, and taxes require includeDetails: true. Fields like neighborhood or communityName are only present when Trulia includes them in the listing.

Q: Can I scrape for-sale listings too? A: Yes. Set listingType to for_sale or sold. All fields apply to sale listings as well.

Q: How many listings can I get per search? A: Trulia returns up to 4,000 results per search. Use price and bedroom filters to segment large markets and access the full inventory.

Q: What happens if a listing is no longer available? A: The scraper captures isAvailable: false for inactive listings encountered during scraping.
