It comes pre-configured with several start_urls to cover various price ranges across the Netherlands. For more targeted scraping, you can easily customize the start_urls field. Simply go to the Pararius website, apply your desired filters (e.g., for a specific city, price range, or property type), and then copy the resulting URL into the input field. ## Scraping Strategy Pararius limits search results to a maximum of 66 pages. To overcome this limitation and ensure every single property is scraped, this Actor employs a strategy of splitting the search into multiple price ranges. The default start_urls are pre-configured with these price ranges to guarantee a comprehensive and complete dataset. So please keep this in mind if you decide to change price ranges.
