Airbnb STR Market Intelligence Scraper

Extract Airbnb listings by city or neighborhood and generate short-term rental (STR) market intelligence: median nightly rates, occupancy estimates, revenue projections by bedroom tier, and competitive benchmarks — all in one run.

Used by real estate investors, STR operators, Airbnb hosts, and market researchers to answer:

"Is buying a property in [city] profitable as a short-term rental?"

What you get

Per-listing data

• Listing ID, name, URL, room type, bedrooms, beds, bathrooms
• Nightly rate and currency
• Rating, review count, superhost status
• GPS coordinates (lat/lng)
• Occupancy rate (0–100%) — inferred from the actual availability calendar
• Estimated monthly revenue = nightly_rate × occupancy × 30

Market summary (1 record, type: MARKET_SUMMARY)

• Overall market: median/avg nightly rate, P25/P75 rate, avg rating, superhost %
• By bedroom count: separate metrics for studios, 1BR, 2BR, 3BR, 4BR+
• Superhost premium: how much more superhosts charge vs regular hosts
• Top 10 listings by estimated monthly revenue
• If calendar scraping enabled: avg/median occupancy %, monthly revenue estimates

Tips for accurate results

• Use residential proxies (enabled by default) — Airbnb blocks datacenter IPs
• For investment analysis, enable calendar scraping — occupancy rates are the most valuable metric
• Scrape 100+ listings for statistically reliable market data
• Run during weekdays for typical availability (avoid holiday dates)
• For seasonal markets, run in peak season AND off-season and compare

Limitations

• Airbnb shows max ~300 listings per search (their frontend limit). For larger markets, use multiple searches (by neighborhood, price range, etc.)
• Calendar occupancy is an estimate based on public availability data, not actual booking records
• Prices may not reflect cleaning fees or taxes
• Airbnb may block aggressive scrapers — residential proxies are required
