from $2.50 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Airbnb Availability Calendar Scraper

Scrape day-by-day availability for any Airbnb listing. Returns up to 12 months of calendar data per request: available/booked status, min and max stay nights, check-in and check-out eligibility, and the nightly price string when visible. HTTP-only — no headless browser, ~300 ms per listing.

### What you give it

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array of URLs | one of these | Full Airbnb listing URLs `https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/<id>`. |
| `listingIds` | array of strings | one of these | Bare numeric listing IDs if you already have them. |
| `months` | integer (1-12) | no | How many months to fetch. Defaults to 12 (single request per listing). |
| `startMonth` | integer (1-12) | no | First month. Defaults to current UTC month. |
| `startYear` | integer | no | First year. Defaults to current UTC year. |
| `currency` | string | no | ISO 4217 (e.g. USD, EUR). Defaults to USD. Affects `priceFormatted`. |
| `locale` | string | no | e.g. en-US, en-GB. Defaults to en-US. |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | Hard cap on total items. 0 means unlimited. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | no | Apify Proxy enabled by default (default group is sufficient). |

### What you get back

One row per listing. Each row contains a `days` array with one record per calendar day.

#### Top-level fields (per listing)

- `listingId` — Airbnb numeric ID
- `url` — canonical listing URL
- `currency`, `requestedMonths`, `startMonth`, `startYear`
- `firstDate`, `lastDate` — YYYY-MM-DD bounds of the calendar slice
- `totalDays`, `availableDays`, `blockedDays`
- `scrapedAt` — ISO timestamp
- `days[]` — see below

#### Per-day fields (in `days[]`)

- `calendarDate` — YYYY-MM-DD
- `available` — boolean
- `availableForCheckin` — boolean (some dates are only allowed as checkout)
- `availableForCheckout` — boolean
- `minNights`, `maxNights` — host stay-length constraints for that date
- `bookable` — nullable boolean (null on blocked days; true on available days that pass policy)
- `priceFormatted` — pretty price string like "$120" when available, null on blocked days

### Pricing (pay-per-event)

| Tier | Per calendar result | Actor start (per GB) |
|---|---|---|
| FREE | $0.0025 | $0.0075 |
| BRONZE | $0.0022 | $0.0070 |
| SILVER | $0.0020 | $0.0060 |
| GOLD | $0.0018 | $0.0050 |
| PLATINUM | $0.0016 | $0.0045 |
| DIAMOND | $0.0014 | $0.0040 |

A "calendar result" is one full listing with up to 365 days of data. There is no per-day or per-event surcharge — pricing data is bundled in.

**Billing note.** Every record pushed to the default dataset counts as one result. The scraper pushes a `warning` row when a listing returns no data (invalid ID, removed listing, hotel-style multi-unit) or when input cannot be parsed; those rows are billed at the same per-result rate. This keeps the run from silently returning zero items.

**Worked examples (FREE tier, 512 MB memory => 0.5 GB start charge):**

- 100 listings: 100 × $0.0025 + $0.0075 × 0.5 = **$0.254**
- 1,000 listings: 1000 × $0.0025 + $0.0075 × 0.5 = **$2.504**
- 10,000 listings: 10000 × $0.0025 + $0.0075 × 0.5 = **$25.004**

### Measured local coverage (build 0.1)

| Field | Days tested | Extracted | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| calendarDate | 1825 | 1825 | 100.0% |
| available | 1825 | 1825 | 100.0% |
| availableForCheckin | 1825 | 1825 | 100.0% |
| availableForCheckout | 1825 | 1825 | 100.0% |
| minNights | 1825 | 1825 | 100.0% |
| maxNights | 1825 | 1825 | 100.0% |

Reliability: 5/5 listings returned full 365-day calendars. Zero value mismatches against ground truth.

Cloud variance (3 runs across 2+ hours) will be added after first deploy.

### Limits to be aware of

- The persisted GraphQL hash can rotate (Airbnb operational change). The actor self-heals: on `PersistedQueryNotFound`, it scrapes a fresh hash from the live listing page and retries.
- `priceFormatted` is always `null` for blocked days (true negative — that's Airbnb's API, not a scraper miss).
- `bookable` is `null` for blocked days (same reason).
- The endpoint returns max 12 months per request. Set `months` and `startMonth`/`startYear` to scan further out.
- "Property-level" calendars (multi-unit hotels) are not returned; the default config skips them. Open an issue if you need this.

### FAQ

**Why is this cheaper than the alternative actor on Apify?**
We charge once per listing instead of separately for "actor-start", "result", and "available-date price" events. The math comes out ~25-40 % cheaper on typical workloads.

**Does it need login?** No.

**Does it work on Airbnb Plus / Luxe?** Yes — same endpoint shape.

**Can I batch a portfolio?** Yes. Pass any number of URLs in `startUrls`. Concurrency is 10, so 1,000 listings ≈ a few minutes.

### Changelog

- `0.1` — Initial release.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Full Airbnb listing URLs in the form https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/<id>. You may pass either this field, listingIds, or both.
## `listingIds` (type: `array`):

Airbnb numeric listing IDs as strings. Use this when you already have the IDs and want to skip URL parsing.
## `months` (type: `integer`):

How many months of availability to return per listing, starting at startMonth/startYear. Range 1 to 12; defaults to 12.
## `startMonth` (type: `integer`):

Month of the first calendar month to return (1 to 12). Defaults to the current UTC month.
## `startYear` (type: `integer`):

Year of the first calendar month to return (e.g. 2026). Defaults to the current UTC year.
## `currency` (type: `string`):

Three-letter ISO currency code for the priceFormatted field. Defaults to USD.
## `locale` (type: `string`):

Locale tag passed to the Airbnb GraphQL endpoint (e.g. en-US, en-GB). Defaults to en-US.
## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on the total number of calendar items returned. Leave 0 for no limit.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy is enabled by default. The Airbnb calendar endpoint is not anti-bot heavy, so the default group is sufficient.
