Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your search term spelling. Try a broader term. Finn.no may not have any listings matching a very specific or misspelled query.
The Actor stops before reaching my maxItems limit.
Finn.no only returns a finite number of pages for any search. If your query has fewer total listings than your limit, the Actor finishes early. This is expected behavior.
I'm getting blocked or seeing empty pages.
Finn.no may rate-limit requests from datacenter IPs. Enable Apify Proxy with residential IPs in the Actor's proxy settings for more reliable runs.
The price is missing for some listings.
Some sellers list items as 'Gis bort' (free) or negotiate price privately. If Finn.no shows no price on the search card, the field will be empty in your dataset.
FAQ
