💰 Pricing

You pay $1.00 per 1,000 results ($0.001 per listing, or per agency in Agencies mode), plus the small platform usage of the run (compute and datacenter proxy traffic). There is no start fee.

Example: 1,000 apartments in Bogotá cost $1.00 in results plus a fraction of a cent of platform usage. Nothing is charged for listings that are not saved, and a run stops cleanly when it reaches your maximum charge.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape metrocuadrado.com? The scraper only reads public listing pages that anyone can open without an account. Check the site's terms and the data-protection rules that apply to you (Colombia's Ley 1581 for personal data such as phone numbers) before using the data.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. No account is needed and the default datacenter proxy works. If the site starts refusing requests, the run switches to Colombian residential proxies by itself.

How many results can I get? As many as the search has. The site serves at most 10,050 listings per search, so bigger searches (all of Bogotá, all of Colombia) are split into price ranges automatically. Set Maximum results to 0 for everything.

Why is a field empty? The advertiser did not fill it in. For example, private owners have no companyName, and only new builds have projectName and housingType.

Can I schedule it or use it from my code? Yes. Schedule runs in the console (for example every morning with "Newest first"), or start them through the API and read the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

I used a similar actor on another platform. Will my input work? Mostly yes: cities, neighborhoods, regions, startUrls, operation, propertyTypes, maxResults, the price, area and room filters, centerLat / centerLng / radiusKm, pointOfInterest and mode use the same names.

⚠️ Limits

• Single listing pages (/inmueble/...) are not supported as input; paste search pages instead.
• Descriptions are as the site stores them; the site itself cuts some long descriptions at about 1,000 characters.
• The site's own radius search reaches at most about 4 km; larger radiuses are covered with several overlapping circles, which takes more requests.
• Only one construction stage and one "new or used" choice can be searched at a time (a site limit).
• Agencies mode reads every listing of the searches before it saves the agencies, so country-wide agency runs take longer.
• No change tracking between runs and no notifications; use a schedule plus your own comparison, or the platform's integrations.
