AppFolio Rental Listings Scraper

What does AppFolio Rental Listings Scraper do?

AppFolio Rental Listings Scraper extracts structured rental listing data from appfolio.com property manager sites — rent, beds, baths and square feet, the full address with coordinates, photos, pet policy, amenities and utilities. It supports keyword search, radius filters and controllable result limits, so you can run the same query consistently over time. The actor also offers detail enrichment (full descriptions, rental terms and complete amenity lists) where the listing page provides them.

Key features

• 💵 Structured pricing: structured currency on every listing — numbers you can sort and compare without parsing price text.
• 📍 Coordinates: latitude and longitude on each listing that has a location, ready for a map.
• 🏘️ Address: address, street, city and state as separate fields for every listing that lists them.
• 📇 Contact details: phone where the listing publishes them.
• 🛎️ Amenities and services: amenities show what each listing offers.
• 🖼️ Images: image and images with every image URL, not just the thumbnail.
• 🔍 Keyword search: keep only listings that mention your words (includeKeywords) or drop those that do (excludeKeywords); query picks the property manager's site.
• 🧭 Radius search: search around a point with lat, lon and radiusKm.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste appfolio.com URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the pages you picked in the browser.
• ♻️ Incremental mode: daily runs emit only listings that are new or whose price/condition changed since last run. Perfect for inventory-diff dashboards and competitive pricing alerts. Saves 80–95% on recurring monitoring.
• 🔔 Notifications: telegram / Slack / Discord / WhatsApp / webhook alerts on each run. Combine with incremental to ping only when prices or inventory actually move.

What data can you extract from appfolio.com?

Each result includes Core listing fields (platform, id, tenant, scrapedAt, listingId, url, portalUrl, and title, and more), detail fields when enrichment is enabled (description and detailFetched), and apply information (applyUrl). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Enable detail enrichment in the input to get richer fields such as descriptions where the source provides them.
