# Airbnb Market Snapshot for Austin, an AirDNA Alternative

**Use case:** 

For short-let investors who want a market read without a dashboard subscription. This run searches every Austin listing but delivers only market numbers: four weekend occupancy windows (booked or blocked, by zone, type and bedrooms) and an area report with rate percentiles. Cost: up to 10,000 listings at $0.0004 = $4.00, 4 windows at $0.40 and 1 report at $1.00 = at most $6.60 a run.

## Input

```json
{
  "locations": [
    "Austin, TX"
  ],
  "adults": 1,
  "currency": "USD",
  "occupancyWindows": 4,
  "windowNights": 2,
  "includeAreaReport": true,
  "marketMode": true,
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxListings": 10000,
  "maxConcurrency": 8,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "area": {
    "label": "Area"
  },
  "listings": {
    "label": "Listings"
  },
  "nightlyRate": {

  "bookedOrBlockedShare": {

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/brainfoods_studio/airbnb-market-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
