FAQs

Q: Can I scrape multiple OpenRent URLs at once? Yes. Simply add more search URLs into the input array, and the scraper will process them sequentially.

Q: How does duplicate filtering work? Each listing is fingerprinted based on its unique attributes. If the same property appears twice, it is automatically removed unless duplicates are explicitly allowed.

Q: What if my results return fewer listings than expected? Check that your search URL includes all required filters, and ensure the listings are currently available if availability filtering is enabled.

Q: Does this scraper capture landlord or agent details? Yes—when publicly available, landlord information and associated metadata are included.
