Centris Property Details Scraper

Scrapes detailed property listings from Centris.ca, Quebec's primary real estate platform. This actor extracts structured data from individual property pages for analysis or integration.

Overview

Centris.ca is Quebec's province-wide multiple listing service (MLS), containing all broker-listed properties for sale or rent. This scraper automates data collection from specific property URLs, handling houses, condos, plexes, and commercial properties. It's designed for batch processing with built-in reliability features.

Key Features

• Comprehensive data extraction: Captures property details, specifications, agent info, and media links.
• Batch processing: Scrapes multiple property URLs in a single run.
• Anti-detection measures: Supports Apify Proxy with configurable residential proxy groups and countries.
• Error handling: Configurable retry logic for failed requests.
• Structured output: Returns clean JSON data, ready for use.

How to Use

Configure the actor using a JSON input object. The core requirement is an array of Centris.ca property listing URLs.

Input Format

{
  "max_retries_per_url": 2,
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "SG"
  },
  "urls": [
    "https://www.centris.ca/fr/maison~a-vendre~berthierville/15399518?uc=2",
    "https://www.centris.ca/fr/condo~a-vendre~berthierville/24806137?uc=3"
  ]
}

Parameters:
* urls (required): Array of full Centris property page URLs.
* max_retries_per_url: Integer (1-5). Retry attempts for failed requests.
* proxy: Configuration for Apify Proxy. Using residential proxies ("RESIDENTIAL") is recommended to avoid blocking.

Input/Output

Input: Provide an array of Centris.ca listing URLs (French or English). Proxy configuration is highly recommended.

Output: The actor returns a dataset of JSON objects, one per property. Each object contains structured fields like:

• id: The Centris property ID.
• title: Listing title (e.g., "Maison à vendre").
• url: The source URL.
• price: Listing price.
• address: Full property address.
• description: Text description.
• property_type: (e.g., House, Condo).
• building_features / interior_features: Arrays of amenities.
• agent_name / agent_agency: Listing contact details.
• media: Array of image and video links.

The output is stored in the actor's dataset tab and can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or other formats via the Apify platform.
