## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Airbnb Host Lead Extractor

Turn any Airbnb market into a clean, **deduplicated list of hosts**. Point it at a city and it scans the listings, extracts the host behind each one, removes duplicates, and returns each host's public profile intelligence with a sample listing — global coverage, built on Airbnb's official GraphQL API.

> **What this is (and isn't):** Airbnb does not publish host email or phone numbers, and neither does this actor. You get each host's **public profile** — name, profile URL, superhost/verified status, tenure and ratings — so you can qualify and reach them **through Airbnb**. It is a market-intelligence and prospecting tool, not an email harvester.

### Who it's for

- **Property-management companies & co-hosting agencies** — find and qualify hosts in a target city for onboarding outreach.
- **STR service providers** (cleaning, photography, dynamic pricing, insurance) — build territory-based prospect lists.
- **Market analysts** — measure host concentration, superhost density and professionalization in a market.

### What you get (output fields)

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `host_id` | string | Airbnb numeric host id |
| `name` | string | Host display name |
| `profile_url` | string | Public `/users/show/<id>` profile URL |
| `profile_picture` | string | Host avatar URL |
| `is_superhost` | boolean | Superhost status |
| `is_verified` | boolean | Identity verified |
| `years_hosting` | integer | Years active as a host |
| `host_review_count` | integer | Total reviews across their hosting |
| `host_rating` | number | Average host rating |
| `response_time` | string | Typical response time (when shown) |
| `about` | string | Host bio |
| `sample_listing` | object | One of their listings (`listing_id`, `url`, `name`, `price`, `rating`) |
| `found_in_location` | string | The market this host was found in |
| `scraped_at` | string | ISO-8601 timestamp |

### High-value use cases

1. **Agency onboarding pipelines** — scan a city, filter to `superhostOnly`, and export a qualified outreach list.
2. **Territory planning** — compare superhost density across markets to prioritize expansion.
3. **Service prospecting** — build lists of active hosts for cleaning/photography/pricing services, deduplicated automatically.

### Input parameters

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `location` | string | — | Market to scan (required) |
| `maxListings` | integer | 100 | Listings to inspect for hosts |
| `maxHosts` | integer | 0 | Cap unique hosts (0 = no cap) |
| `superhostOnly` | boolean | false | Keep only superhosts |
| `verifiedOnly` | boolean | false | Keep only verified hosts |
| `checkIn` / `checkOut` | string | — | Optional ISO dates for search context |
| `adults` | integer | 1 | Guests for search context |
| `currency` / `locale` | string | USD / en | Output localization |

### Example input

```json
{
    "location": "Lisbon, Portugal",
    "maxListings": 150,
    "superhostOnly": true
}
````

### Scheduling & integrations

Schedule city scans from the Apify Console or trigger via API, and export leads to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, HubSpot or a CSV/webhook for your CRM.

### FAQ

**Do I get host emails or phone numbers?** No. Airbnb does not expose them. You get the public profile and a profile URL to contact the host on Airbnb.

**How are duplicates handled?** Hosts are deduplicated by `host_id` within a run, so each host appears once with a sample listing.

**How many hosts will I get?** Roughly proportional to `maxListings`; many listings share hosts, so unique hosts are fewer than listings scanned. Increase `maxListings` for more.

**Is it global?** Yes — any city Airbnb supports, unlike Europe-only alternatives.

**Is this legal?** It collects only publicly visible profile data. You are responsible for complying with Airbnb's terms, and with GDPR/CCPA and marketing laws when contacting people.
