# Update Settings

> Configure the Idealista Listings Scraper parameters and options

Configure your Idealista Listings Scraper squid settings to control pagination and scraping behavior. Adjust the maximum pages to scrape based on your needs.

## Headers

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Your API authentication token. Value: `Token YOUR_API_KEY`
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="Content-Type" type="string" required>
  Request body format. Value: `application/json`
</ParamField>

## Squid Parameters

The following parameters can be configured in the `params` object:

| Parameter      | Type    | Default | Description                                                |
| -------------- | ------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **max\_pages** | integer | 100     | Maximum number of search result pages to scrape (max: 100) |

## General Settings

Standard squid settings that apply to all scrapers:

| Setting                     | Type    | Description                                      |
| --------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **name**                    | string  | Display name for your squid configuration        |
| **concurrency**             | integer | Number of parallel scraping threads (default: 1) |
| **export\_unique\_results** | boolean | Export only unique results (deduplicated)        |
| **to\_complete**            | boolean | Run until all tasks complete                     |
| **no\_line\_breaks**        | boolean | Remove line breaks from results                  |

<Tip>
  Idealista typically shows 30 listings per page. Setting max\_pages to 100 can yield up to 3,000 listings per search URL.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Keep concurrency at 1 for Idealista to avoid rate limiting issues.
