Anti-Detection Technology

How PropAPIS achieves 99.9% success rate accessing real estate platforms.

Overview​

PropAPIS uses enterprise-grade anti-detection technology to reliably access 20+ real estate platforms. Our infrastructure handles all complexity automatically - you just call the API.

Technology Stack​

Residential Proxy Network​

  • Pool Size: 10M+ residential IPs
  • Geographic Distribution: All US states, UK, EU, Asia-Pacific
  • Rotation: Automatic IP rotation per request
  • Success Rate: 99.9% first-attempt success
  • Speed: Average 500-800ms response time

Browser Fingerprinting​

Randomized browser characteristics:

  • User agents (Chrome, Firefox, Safari variations)
  • Screen resolutions and color depths
  • Timezone and language settings
  • Plugin configurations
  • Canvas and WebGL fingerprints

Request Management​

Intelligent rate limiting:

  • Platform-specific rate limits respected
  • Distributed request timing
  • Automatic retry with exponential backoff
  • Request queue management
  • Peak hour load balancing

How It Works​

Request Flow​

Your API Call → PropAPIS Gateway → Proxy Selection → Target Platform → Response

Each request:

  1. Routed through residential proxy
  2. Assigned randomized browser fingerprint
  3. Sent with realistic headers and timing
  4. Response validated and cleaned
  5. Returned to you in JSON format

Automatic Handling​

PropAPIS automatically handles:

  • IP rotation
  • CAPTCHA solving (when encountered)
  • Cookie management
  • Session persistence
  • Error retry logic
  • Platform updates and changes

Reliability Features​

99.9% Success Rate​

Achieved through:

  • Multi-proxy fallback chains
  • Real-time platform monitoring
  • Automatic adaptation to changes
  • Dedicated infrastructure per platform

Zero Maintenance​

You never worry about:

  • Proxy management
  • Rate limit adjustments
  • Platform HTML changes
  • Anti-bot measure updates
  • Infrastructure scaling

Compliance​

Legal data extraction:

  • Publicly available data only
  • Respects robots.txt where applicable
  • Rate limiting prevents server overload
  • Terms of service compliant methods

Best Practices​

Optimize Request Efficiency​

Use bulk endpoints when available:

# Good: Bulk search
listings = api.platforms.zillow.search_listings(
    location='Austin, TX',
    max_results=1000
)

# Less efficient: Individual requests
for address in addresses:
    prop = api.platforms.zillow.get_property(address)

Cache Frequently Accessed Data​

Reduce API calls with caching:

from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=1000)
def get_property_cached(address):
    return api.platforms.zillow.get_property(address)

Use Webhooks for Real-Time Data​

Instead of polling, use webhooks:

# Set up webhook for new listings
api.webhooks.create(
    event='new_listing',
    url='https://yourapp.com/webhook/new-listing',
    filters={'location': 'Austin, TX'}
)

Rate Limits​

Standard Plans​

  • Starter: 100 requests per minute
  • Professional: 500 requests per minute
  • Enterprise: 2000 requests per minute

Best Practices​

  • Spread requests over time
  • Use bulk endpoints
  • Cache results
  • Implement exponential backoff

Monitoring​

Health Dashboard​

Track your usage:

  • Requests per minute
  • Success rate
  • Average response time
  • Error types

Alerts​

Get notified when:

  • Success rate drops below 95%
  • Rate limit approaching
  • Platform issues detected

Technical Specifications​

Response Times​

  • Average: 500-800ms
  • P95: 1500ms
  • P99: 3000ms

Availability​

  • Uptime SLA: 99.9%
  • Incident response: Within 15 minutes
  • Platform monitoring: 24/7

Data Freshness​

  • Active listings: 15-30 minute updates
  • Sold data: Daily updates
  • Market statistics: Daily updates

Get Started​

All anti-detection is handled automatically:

from propapis import PropAPIS

api = PropAPIS(api_key='your_api_key')

# That's it - just use the API
listings = api.platforms.zillow.search_listings(location='Austin, TX')
