HousingAnywhere Scraper - Mid-Term Rentals With Total Monthly Cost and Landlord Data

The HousingAnywhere Scraper turns HousingAnywhere searches into structured mid-term rental data. Collect rent, estimated bills, total monthly cost in EUR, room and property size, furnishing, availability, landlord type, address, coordinates and photos - one clean dataset row per listing, with no browser and no manual copy-paste.

Use it to compare student housing and young-professional rentals across cities, monitor asking rents, map supply by neighborhood or feed a rental portal, CRM or AI research workflow. The Actor reads public HousingAnywhere search and listing data through its web frontend, so you can start from a city search URL or a specific listing URL.

Main Use Cases for HousingAnywhere Rental Data

• Mid-term rental market research - compare rent and total monthly cost across Amsterdam, Berlin, Madrid, Paris, Milan, Lisbon and other HousingAnywhere markets.
• Student housing and room supply tracking - monitor private rooms, studios and apartments by city, neighborhood, price band and availability date.
• Relocation and housing shortlists - filter by furnishing, bills, room type, price and move-in date, then export a ready-to-review shortlist.
• Rental price benchmarking - use priceEur, estimatedBillsEur and totalMonthlyEur to compare advertised costs on a common currency basis.
• Landlord and advertiser analysis - segment by landlordType, partner status, advertiser rating and booking history.
• PropTech and portal ingestion - load listing URLs, photos, coordinates and availability into your own search experience, dashboard or valuation model.
• AI housing assistants - give an LLM clean, typed listing records with the exact fields needed for comparison and recommendation.

How It Works

The Actor accepts HousingAnywhere search or listing URLs, plus optional city, country, property type, price, availability and furnishing filters. It reads the public rental data behind those pages, normalizes each result into a consistent listing record and writes one item to the default dataset. Search URLs are expanded into the matching result set; direct listing URLs fetch that specific rental.

The resulting record combines pricing, property details, availability, location, media and advertiser information in one flat JSON object. Monthly prices are kept in their original currency and, where available, in EUR; totalMonthlyEur combines the displayed rent and estimated bills so that listings can be compared on a single monthly-cost basis. No HousingAnywhere account, login or browser session is required.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	What it does
startUrls	string[]	No	["https://housinganywhere.com/s/Amsterdam--Netherlands"]	HousingAnywhere search or listing URLs. Search URLs are expanded; listing URLs target one rental.

currencies	string[]	No	[]	Currency filters for the search.
query	string	No	""	Free-text search query.
neighborhoods	string[]	No	[]	Neighborhood filters.
priceMin	integer	No	0	Minimum monthly price. 0 means no minimum.

marketTypes	string[]	No	[]	Filter by HousingAnywhere market type.
furnishedOnly	boolean	No	false	Return furnished listings only.

Output

The dataset contains 87 fields in the current listing sample. Some fields are nullable when HousingAnywhere does not publish them, and nested objects are preserved.

Field group	Fields	What you get
Identity and source	objectId, listingId, internalId, propertyId, advertiserId, url, unitTypePath, propertyPath, searchUrl	Stable identifiers, canonical listing URL and the search path that produced the row.
Pricing	currency, price, priceEur, minPrice, maxPrice, totalMonthlyEur, priceType, pricePerMonth	Advertised rent in source currency and EUR, price range and the combined monthly estimate.
Monthly breakdown	pricingMonthly, pricingMonthlyEur, estimatedBills, estimatedBillsEur, billsIncluded, utilitiesCode, depositPolicy, cancellationPolicy	Month-by-month pricing when supplied, estimated bills and contract policies.
Titles	title, propertyAlias, titleSource	Listing title and how it was derived.

totalMonthlyEur is the field to use when you need a single comparable monthly cost. It includes the normalized rent and estimated bills where both are available. price and priceEur remain useful when you need to reproduce the original advertised rent.

Pricing

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Each run has a small start event, and each listing written to the dataset is billed as a result.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD	PLATINUM	DIAMOND
Actor start, per run	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005	$0.00005
Listing result	$0.00075	$0.00075	$0.0007	$0.0007	$0.0007	$0.0007

That works out to $0.70-$0.75 per 1,000 listings. Free users receive the first 10 listings as a preview; paid runs can collect up to maxListings, with a hard cap of 1,000 rows. No charge is made for failed requests or empty results.

Integrations and Automation

HousingAnywhere data is most useful when it runs on a schedule. Trigger the Actor with the Apify API, the Apify MCP server, Zapier, Make, n8n or the Apify scheduler, then send new rows to Google Sheets, Airtable, a database, Slack or your own application through webhooks.

Common patterns include a daily city-level rent monitor, a weekly relocation shortlist, a neighborhood supply dashboard and a price-change alert that compares totalMonthlyEur between runs. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML or RSS, or query it through the Apify API.

FAQ

Does the HousingAnywhere Scraper use a browser?

No. It reads public HousingAnywhere search and listing data through HTTP requests. That keeps runs lightweight and makes city-scale collection practical.

What is totalMonthlyEur?

It is the comparable monthly cost in EUR, built from the advertised rent and estimated bills where HousingAnywhere provides them. Use it for ranking and comparison, and keep price or priceEur when you need the original rent figure.

Why are some fields null?

HousingAnywhere does not publish every field for every listing. Optional property details, deposits or media counts may be missing, and the Actor preserves nulls instead of inventing values.

Can I scrape one specific listing?

Yes. Put the listing URL in startUrls. Use a search URL when you want the whole result set for a city or filter combination.

How many listings can one run collect?

Paid runs can collect up to 1,000 listings, controlled by maxListings. Free users receive the first 10 rows as a preview.

Does landlord type filtering happen on HousingAnywhere?

landlordTypes is applied to the returned records after retrieval, so the final dataset respects that filter. Other filters are passed into the source search where supported.

For AI Agents and LLM Apps

Behavior an agent should know

• One dataset item represents one rental listing.
• totalMonthlyEur is the best field for cross-listing monthly-cost comparison.
• price and priceEur preserve the advertised rent and may differ from the total monthly estimate.
• availableFrom and availableTo are ISO dates when present.
• postalCode is not part of this Actor's output; use address, city and geo for location.
• The hard ceiling is 1,000 listings per run.
• Empty results usually mean the search URL, city or filters did not match current inventory.
