What does Rent.com Scraper do?

This actor collects rental listings from rent.com for any US city. It supports both a search builder (city + state + filters) and URL-paste mode for advanced filtering done in your browser. Results land in structured JSON, ready for analysis, dashboards, lead pipelines, market research, or downstream integration.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
mode	string	"search"	"search" (city + state + filters) or "url" (paste URLs).
locations	array	[{city: "Los Angeles", state: "CA"}]	Search-mode only. List of {city, state} objects. State is the 2-letter US code.
urls	array	[]	URL-mode only. Multi-URL supported.
propertyType	string	"apartments"	One of apartments / houses / condos / townhomes.
bedrooms	string	"" (any)	Exact bedroom count: studio / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4.
maxPrice	int	—	Optional. Snapped to the largest rent.com SEO band ≤ value: 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 2000. Above 2000 → no max-price filter applied.
petFriendly	bool	false	Show only pet-friendly listings.
furnished	bool	false	Show only furnished listings.
luxury	bool	false	Show only premium / luxury listings.
dealsOnly	bool	false	Show only listings with active rent specials.
incomeRestricted	bool	false	Show only income-restricted (affordable housing) listings.
maxPages	int	5	Hard cap on SERP pages walked per location/URL.
maxListings	int	0	Total stop-after limit across all locations. 0 = no cap.
fetchDetails	bool	false	When ON, fetch each listing's detail page for full description, complete amenity list, individual floor plans, ratings, and pet-policy details. ~30× more requests per SERP page.
proxy	object	Apify residential US	Proxy configuration. US-residential is strongly recommended.

Tip — filters not in the schema: rent.com's URL grammar exposes only the filters above as canonical SEO segments. For other refinements (bath count, square-footage band, specific amenity, neighborhood, sort order), open rent.com in your browser, apply the filter, then copy the URL into URL mode. The actor will scrape it as-is.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape — the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each record — not the full JSON. Each item becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify → Settings → Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. (If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.)
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where items should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip.

Plan Requirement

This site requires a US-residential proxy to fetch SERP and detail pages reliably. Non-US IPs almost always get rejected at the upstream edge.

• Apify paid plans (Starter+): include the RESIDENTIAL group — the actor uses it by default with country: "US".
• Apify free plan: no residential access. Either upgrade or paste your own US-residential proxy URLs (Bright Data, Oxylabs, SmartProxy, IPRoyal, etc.) into the proxy field with useApifyProxy: false.

If a US-residential exit IP gets temporarily rejected, the actor automatically:

1. Refreshes the session token on the same IP
2. Rotates to a fresh sticky session if that fails
3. Falls back to a backup proxy pool as a last resort
