Airbnb Scraper

What does Airbnb Scraper do?

Airbnb Scraper extracts all available Airbnb listings for any location worldwide — complete with prices, descriptions, ratings, amenities, host info, GPS coordinates, house rules, and photos. Enter a city name, click Start, and get structured rental data in JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Unlike other Airbnb scrapers, this one uses price-range binary splitting to bypass Airbnb's pagination limits. Most scrapers are capped at 300 results per query — this one finds every listing in your target area, guaranteed.

It works in two modes:

• Full mode (default) — visits each listing page to extract 40+ fields: description, all amenities, host profile, 30+ photos, house rules, cancellation policies, rating breakdowns
• Search-only mode (skipDetailPages: true) — extracts data from search results only. Faster, same price per listing, but fewer fields.

Who is Airbnb Scraper for?

Real estate investors and analysts

• Compare nightly rates across neighborhoods to identify high-yield rental markets
• Track pricing trends over time by scheduling weekly or monthly scrapes
• Find undervalued properties by combining price data with rating and location data

Property managers

• Benchmark your portfolio's pricing against local competition
• Monitor new listings entering your market
• Analyze amenity trends to improve your listing competitiveness

Travel and hospitality researchers

• Map supply and demand patterns across cities and regions
• Analyze seasonal pricing fluctuations by scraping the same locations with different date ranges
• Study host behavior patterns (Superhost density, response rates, co-hosting trends)

Data scientists and developers

• Build rental market dashboards and pricing models
• Feed Airbnb data into ML pipelines for price prediction
• Combine with review data from our Airbnb Reviews Scraper for sentiment analysis

Tips for best results

• Start small — set maxListings to 10 for a test run before scraping an entire city
• Use search-only mode (skipDetailPages: true) for fast market overviews when you only need listing counts, prices, locations, and ratings
• Run multiple locations in one run using the locationQueries array — you pay the start fee only once
• Increase maxPricePerNight above 10000 if scraping luxury markets where listings exceed $10,000/night
• Add check-in/check-out dates to get availability-specific pricing breakdowns and total costs including fees
• Use startUrls to apply Airbnb filters not available as input fields — set up your search on airbnb.com, copy the URL, and paste it into startUrls
• Schedule recurring runs to build a time series of pricing data for trend analysis

Integrations

Airbnb Scraper connects with any cloud service or web app through Apify integrations.

Common workflows:

• Airbnb to Google Sheets — automatically export listing data to a spreadsheet for collaborative analysis and price tracking
• Airbnb to Slack/Discord — get notified when a scraping run completes or when new listings appear in your market
• Airbnb to Make/Zapier — trigger downstream workflows: update a CRM, send email alerts, populate a database
• Airbnb to BigQuery/Snowflake — pipe listing data into your data warehouse via Airbyte for large-scale analytics
• Scheduled runs — set up daily, weekly, or monthly scrapes to track pricing trends over time
• Webhooks — receive results via HTTP POST as soon as the run finishes for real-time processing

Using the Apify API

The Apify API gives you programmatic access to run this Actor, retrieve datasets, and automate scraping workflows.

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/airbnb-listing').call({
    locationQueries: ['London'],
    currency: 'GBP',
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN')
run = client.actor('automation-lab/airbnb-listing').call(run_input={
    'locationQueries': ['London'],
    'currency': 'GBP',
})
items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items
print(items)

Use with AI agents via MCP

Airbnb Scraper is available as a tool for AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This lets you scrape Airbnb data using natural language — just ask your AI assistant to "get Airbnb listings in Tokyo" and it will configure and run the scraper for you.

Setup for Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http apify \
  "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/airbnb-listing"

Setup for Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code

Add this to your MCP config file:

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/airbnb-listing"
        }
    }
}

Your AI assistant will use OAuth to authenticate with your Apify account on first use.

FAQ

What's the difference between full mode and search-only mode?

Full mode (skipDetailPages: false, the default) extracts rich data for each listing: full description, all amenities, host profile, 30+ photos, house rules, and cancellation policies. It takes longer because it visits each listing page individually.

Search-only mode (skipDetailPages: true) extracts data from search results only. You get: ID, title, URL, price, coordinates, room type, star rating, review count, and a thumbnail. It's roughly 5x faster — ideal for market sizing, location mapping, or when you just need listing counts with prices. Both modes cost the same per listing.

How does this compare to other Airbnb scrapers?

Most Airbnb scrapers on the market are limited by Airbnb's pagination — they return at most 300 results per query. This scraper uses price-range binary splitting to find every listing in your target area, no matter how many there are. In our tests, London returned 12,000+ listings, Tokyo 14,000+, and Cape Town 7,400+. Every result includes pricing data.

How much does it cost?

You pay $3 per 1,000 listings on the Apify Free plan. Higher Apify subscription tiers get volume discounts (down to $0.75 per 1,000 on Diamond). All platform costs are included — no surprise compute or proxy charges. With the Free plan's $5 monthly credit, you can scrape ~1,600 listings at no cost.

How many listings can this scraper find?

There is no hard cap. The price-range splitting algorithm discovers all listings in your target area. In our tests: London returned 12,000+ listings, Tokyo 14,000+, and Cape Town 7,400+.

Can I scrape multiple cities at once?

Yes. Add multiple locations to the locationQueries array and they'll all be scraped in a single run.

Why does every listing have a price?

The scraper extracts prices from search results where Airbnb always includes pricing data. This means 100% price coverage regardless of whether you use full mode or search-only mode.

Can I filter by property type, amenities, or other criteria?

You can filter by price range, number of bedrooms/beds/bathrooms, and guest count directly in the input. For property type and amenity filtering, use startUrls with a pre-filtered Airbnb search URL from your browser.

What if some listings are missing or the run seems slow?

• Make sure your location name is specific enough. "London" works, but "London, UK" is better to avoid ambiguity.
• For cities with 10,000+ listings, a full run may take 5-10 minutes — this is normal.
• If you're scraping luxury markets, increase maxPricePerNight above 10000 to ensure high-end listings are included.
• Check the run log in Apify Console for any specific errors.

Is it legal to scrape Airbnb?

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data. They only extract what Airbnb has chosen to make publicly available on listing pages. We believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping.
