🏙️ Zumper Rental Scraper — US Apartments with Ratings & Lead Scores

Extract rental listings from Zumper.com — apartments, houses, condos, townhomes and rooms across the US — as clean, structured data. Get prices, beds/baths, landlord ratings, amenities, pet policies, exact coordinates, contact phone and an AI lead score on every listing. It calls Zumper's own search API directly (no headless browser, no "Client Challenge" wall), so it's fast and reliable. Give it a city and filters and it paginates the whole result set for you. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🏢 What is the Zumper Rental Scraper?

It turns any Zumper rental search into a structured dataset. Pass a location (and optional filters for property type, price, bedrooms or Airbnb-friendly), and it returns every matching listing with full address, geo-coordinates, rent range, ratings, amenities, contact details and a 0–100 lead score that ranks the strongest listings first — so property managers, investors and relocation services can work the best inventory without clicking through pages by hand.

What data does it extract?

• Rent range (price_min / price_max) and beds/baths range (beds_min/beds_max, baths_min/baths_max)
• Landlord/property rating (Zumper's 0–10 score)
• Full address plus split street, city, state, zipcode and neighborhood
• Latitude & longitude for mapping
• Amenities list and pets allowed (Dogs/Cats)
• Contact phone, agent name, brokerage name and feed name (data source)
• Date available and a has_fees flag
• Photo IDs and photo count (optional)
• AI lead score (0–100), plus listing_id, url, property_type, source and a scraped_at timestamp

💡 Use cases

• 🏠 Airbnb arbitrage: filter for Airbnb-friendly rentals that allow subletting and source units for short-term rental businesses.
• 🏢 Property managers — competitor pricing: benchmark rent ranges, amenities and ratings against comparable buildings in your market.
• 💰 Real estate investors: analyze rental yields using rent ranges plus Zumper's landlord rating data.
• 🧳 Relocation services & aggregators: build databases of highly rated rentals with contact info and exact coordinates.

⚙️ Daily rental-alert workflow

Use the n8n Zumper alert template to monitor a saved search automatically:

1. Import the JSON into n8n and assign an HTTP Header Auth credential containing Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>.
2. Change the location, rent ceiling, bedroom filter and maxListings in the Actor node.
3. Configure the email recipient and run the workflow manually once.
4. Activate the daily schedule after verifying the returned listings.

The default workflow monitors Austin apartments up to $3,000, keeps listings with a lead score of at least 60, sorts the best matches first, and emails price, beds, address, score and listing URL. The same sequence can be rebuilt with Apify's official modules in Make or Zapier.

❓ FAQ

How do I scrape Zumper rental listings? Pick a location slug (like san-francisco-ca) and optional filters for property type, price, beds or Airbnb-friendly, then run. You get structured listings with rent, beds/baths, ratings, amenities, contact phone and a lead score.

What is the location format? Use the city-and-state slug from the Zumper URL, lowercase and hyphenated — e.g. new-york-ny, los-angeles-ca, chicago-il, austin-tx.

Does it cover houses and rooms, not just apartments? Yes — set propertyType to apartments, houses, condos, townhomes or rooms for rent.

What's special about Zumper's data? Zumper exposes landlord/property rating (0–10), Airbnb-friendly tags, and a contact phone per listing — data you won't find on many other rental sites — alongside exact coordinates and amenities.

How does the lead score work? A transparent 0–100 score combining the listing's rating, whether it's verified (has a data feed), feature signals, amenity count and price point. Higher scores surface the most complete, highest-quality listings first.

Why does it call an API instead of loading pages? Zumper's public HTML is behind a JavaScript anti-bot "Client Challenge". The JSON search API that powers the site isn't, and returns fully structured data — so the scraper is faster and far more reliable than a browser-based approach.

Should I keep the Apify proxy on? Yes for cloud runs — useApifyProxy routes requests through a US residential IP, which is recommended for consistent access to Zumper.

Do I need an API key or login? No. Just provide a location and filters — no Zumper account required.

How many listings can it return? Up to your maxListings cap (1–1000); it paginates the search automatically until the cap or the end of results.

Can I run it on a schedule or via API? Yes — schedule recurring runs in Apify, call it via the API/SDK, or connect it to Make, Zapier or n8n.

Is scraping Zumper legal? It extracts publicly available rental listing data. Use it responsibly for market research, arbitrage research and lead generation, and follow applicable laws and Zumper's terms.
