​
Headers

​
Authorization
string
required
Your API authentication token. Value: Token YOUR_API_KEY
​
Content-Type
string
required
Must be application/json. Value: application/json

​
Body

​
params
object
Crawler-specific settings. See fields below.

​
Settings Fields

​
params.max_results
integer
Maximum number of listings to collect per task. Leave empty for unlimited.
​
params.max_unique_results_per_run
integer
Maximum number of unique results across all tasks in a run. Leave empty for unlimited.
​
params.max_pages
integer
Maximum number of search result pages to crawl per task. Default: 100, max: 100.
​
params.fetch_since
string
Only collect listings published after this point. Use a date (YYYY-MM-DD) or a relative duration (24h, 7d, 2w). If not provided, no time filtering is applied.Category support: publication dates are available on listing pages only for immobilier. For other categories (vehicles, services, animaux, etc.) a date is only available on the detail page — enable get_annonce_details for fetch_since to work with those categories. Some categories (emploi, location-vacances, mondebarras, moto, services) do not expose a publication date at all and fetch_since will have no effect for them.
​
params.fetch_since_timezone
string
Timezone for interpreting an absolute fetch_since date (e.g. "Europe/Paris"). Only applies when fetch_since is an absolute date — ignored for relative values like "24h" or "7d".
Use fetch_since: "7d" to collect only listings from the last 7 days. Enable get_annonce_details if you’re scraping non-immobilier categories and need date filtering to work.

​
Optional Functions

Functions are optional add-ons that enable extra data extraction. Each incurs additional credits per row.
​
params.get_annonce_details
boolean
Fetch additional details by visiting each listing’s detail page: full description, features, seller info, and phone number. Default: false. Extra cost: 4 credits per listing.
