Airbnb Search Scraper

Search Airbnb for a location (and optional check-in/check-out dates) and get real listings back: name, price, rating, badges (Superhost, etc.), coordinates, thumbnail image, and a working listing URL.

How it works

Airbnb's search page embeds the full search-results payload directly in the page HTML as JSON, inside a <script id="data-deferred-state-0"> tag. This actor requests the page with a plain HTTP GET and parses that JSON directly -- confirmed live during development to return real, current listings with no anti-bot wall in front of it (unlike Booking.com and Yelp, which both require a full browser to get past their JS/CAPTCHA challenges).

Input

Field	Required	Description
location	yes	Destination, e.g. "Austin, TX"
checkin	no	Check-in date, YYYY-MM-DD
checkout	no	Check-out date, YYYY-MM-DD
adults	no	Number of adult guests (default 1)
maxResults	no	Max listings to return (default 25, max 50 -- Airbnb's search page itself returns ~18-20 per page)
proxyConfiguration	no	Optional Apify proxy settings

Output

One dataset item per listing:

Known limitations

• Returns one page of Airbnb's search results (typically 18-20 listings); pagination isn't implemented in this version.
• If Airbnb changes their embedded-JSON structure, extraction may need updating.
