SUUMO Rental Scraper: Japan Apartment Listings & Rents

Extracts SUUMO rental listings for any Japanese ward or city, one row per room with rent, fees, deposit, key money, layout, floor area, floor, station walk time and building age, for proptech teams, rent-index analysts and relocation services.

Use cases

• Proptech and relocation services build rental search pages and compare rents by station and walking time.
• Rent-index and market analysts track rent and fees by ward, layout and floor area, using the room rows and the site total in the run log.
• Investors screen whole-building leases (flagged with wholeBuilding) and small units, and compute rent per square metre from rentYen and areaM2.
• Expat-housing services list rooms within a set walk of a station, with the rent, deposit and key money a tenant pays up front.
• Data teams run the Actor on an Apify schedule to see new listings each day, using the room ID as the stable key.

Pricing

$4.00 per 1,000 results (one result is one room). A 500-result run costs about $2.00. You pay only for results saved to your dataset, plus Apify's standard start fee of $0.00005 per run. Apify Silver and Gold plan users get lower per-result prices automatically.

Set maxItems (Max results) to cap what a run can cost. The Actor stops cleanly when it reaches your spending limit.

Input

See the input tab for full configuration options.

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	array	Rental list pages such as https://suumo.jp/chintai/tokyo/sc_shinjuku/ (one ward or city), or a prefecture index such as https://suumo.jp/chintai/tokyo/ to read every ward and city in that prefecture. Sales, new-build, mobile and city pages, URLs with sc[] filters and URLs on other sites are ignored. Required. A ?page=N (1–240) in the URL is ignored and the Actor starts at page 1; URLs with sort, snetid, cinm, rnTmp or rnekTmp parameters are skipped (robots.txt).
minRentManYen	number	Lowest monthly rent in units of 10,000 yen: 8 means 80,000 yen. Optional.
maxRentManYen	number	Highest monthly rent in units of 10,000 yen. Optional. SUUMO accepts only its own rent steps (see the FAQ).
minAreaM2	number	Smallest floor area in square metres. Optional.
maxAreaM2	number	Largest floor area in square metres. Optional.
sortBy	string	newest (default), cheapest (rent plus management fee) or recommended (SUUMO's recommended order).
maxPagesPerStart	integer	Result pages to read for each start URL, 1 to 240, default 5. A page holds up to 50 buildings.
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of rooms to return. Default 100, maximum 100,000. You are charged per result.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify datacenter proxy by default.

FAQ

What are the limits? SUUMO stops at page 240, so one start URL reaches at most 240 pages of 50 buildings, which is about 12,000 buildings or roughly 24,000 to 80,000 rooms depending on the sort order. The Actor reads two pages at a time and at most 30 pages per minute, and a page takes about 3 to 8 seconds. To cover more, add one start URL per ward or city, or narrow the rent and area filters. Listings change daily. SUUMO merges duplicate listings, so the room count can differ from the total SUUMO shows, which the run log records for each page.

Why does the sort order change the number of rooms? The sort order changes how many rooms each page holds. On 2026-10-12 the first 50-building page held 101 rooms in newest-first order and 345 rooms in recommended order. Use recommended when you want the widest coverage per page.

Which rent values does SUUMO accept? Only SUUMO's own rent steps. On 2026-10-12, 8 (80,000 yen) and 20 (200,000 yen) worked, while 1, 2 and 22.5 returned SUUMO's error page. The Actor then fails with a message about the filter values. Pick a value from the rent menu on the SUUMO search page.

How do I find other ward and city slugs? Open the prefecture index, for example https://suumo.jp/chintai/tokyo/, and copy the link of the area you need. The path ends in sc_ followed by the slug. The Tokyo index lists these 50 slugs: sc_setagaya 世田谷区 · sc_nerima 練馬区 · sc_suginami 杉並区 · sc_shinjuku 新宿区 · sc_minato 港区 · sc_nakano 中野区 · sc_toshima 豊島区 · sc_shibuya 渋谷区 · sc_chiyoda 千代田区 · sc_shinagawa 品川区 · sc_chuo 中央区 · sc_bunkyo 文京区 · sc_taito 台東区 · sc_sumida 墨田区 · sc_koto 江東区 · sc_arakawa 荒川区 · sc_adachi 足立区 · sc_katsushika 葛飾区 · sc_edogawa 江戸川区 · sc_meguro 目黒区 · sc_ota 大田区 · sc_kita 北区 · sc_itabashi 板橋区 · sc_hachioji 八王子市 · sc_tachikawa 立川市 · sc_musashino 武蔵野市 · sc_mitaka 三鷹市 · sc_ome 青梅市 · sc_fuchu 府中市 · sc_akishima 昭島市 · sc_chofu 調布市 · sc_machida 町田市 · sc_koganei 小金井市 · sc_kodaira 小平市 · sc_hino 日野市 · sc_higashimurayama 東村山市 · sc_kokubunji 国分寺市 · sc_kunitachi 国立市 · sc_fussa 福生市 · sc_komae 狛江市 · sc_higashiyamato 東大和市 · sc_kiyose 清瀬市 · sc_higashikurume 東久留米市 · sc_musashimurayama 武蔵村山市 · sc_tama 多摩市 · sc_inagi 稲城市 · sc_hamura 羽村市 · sc_akiruno あきる野市 · sc_nishitokyo 西東京市 · sc_nishitamagun 西多摩郡. Use the prefecture index itself as the start URL to read all of them. Other prefectures use the same pattern with their lowercase English slug (for example tokyo); check that the index page opens first.

How are money and floor values written? Rent, management fee, deposit and key money are in yen. SUUMO's 万円 values are converted, so 22.5万円 becomes 225000. A dash means none and is returned as 0. A value SUUMO leaves out is null. managementFeeYen is monthly, while depositYen (敷金) and keyMoneyYen (礼金) are one-off amounts. A basement floor is negative (B1-1階 gives -1), and a duplex such as 5-6階 gives its lower floor (5).

What is in the station fields? stations holds every station line as SUUMO shows it. nearestStation is the first line without its walk time, and walkMinutes is the number from 歩N分. A line with only a bus time has walkMinutes null.

Are whole-building leases included? Yes. A 1棟 or 一棟 lease (in the building name, but not an estate number such as 第2棟), or 棟 in the layout, is kept and marked wholeBuilding: true.

Why do some building names look wrong? Building names are copied as SUUMO shows them. In a 1,000-room sample, about one room in five had a name that SUUMO filled with station, storey or age text, such as 西武新宿線 下落合駅 7階建 築19年. Group by address or by the room id rather than by name.

Is this legal? The Actor reads public rental list pages only, with no login, account cookies or CAPTCHA solving, and crawls at a polite rate. Rental list paths are not disallowed in SUUMO's robots.txt (checked 2026-10-12). Sales and new-build pages, which name sales staff, are out of scope and are never requested. The output holds property data only: no staff names, phone numbers or contact details. The Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to SUUMO or Recruit Co., Ltd. You are responsible for how you use the data.
