Airbnb Professional Host Scraper

Find property managers and rental agencies on Airbnb — with emails, phone numbers, and company details.

Airbnb labels certain hosts as "Professional hosts" — these are companies, property management agencies, and concierge services. This scraper finds them by city, extracts their business contact information directly from their listing pages, and exports everything as a clean dataset ready for outreach.

Built for: B2B lead generation · Market research · CRM enrichment · Sales prospecting

Three Modes

🏙️ City Search

Discover all professional hosts in one or more cities. This is the main mode for building lead lists from scratch.

• Scrapes Airbnb search results page by page
• Automatically identifies professional hosts by Airbnb's own labels
• Visits each listing page to extract company name, email, phone, and address
• Exports one row per listing with ~50 enriched fields

{
  "mode": "city",
  "city": ["Lyon"],
  "maxPages": 5
}

For multiple cities:

{
  "mode": "city",
  "city": ["Lyon", "Paris", "Bordeaux"]
}

---

🔗 Listing URLs

Paste one URL or hundreds. Same field, same mode — the scraper auto-detects: 1 URL = single lookup, 2+ URLs = bulk enrichment.

{
  "mode": "bulkUrls",
  "listingUrls": ["https://www.airbnb.fr/rooms/12345678"]
}

Bulk:

{
  "mode": "bulkUrls",
  "listingUrls": [
    "https://www.airbnb.fr/rooms/12345678",
    "https://www.airbnb.fr/rooms/87654321"
  ]
}

Each item can also be in Request List format: { "url": "https://..." }.

---

👤 Host Profile

You have an Airbnb host profile URL. Extracts all their listed properties plus the contact info for each one.

{
  "mode": "hostProfileUrl",
  "hostProfileUrl": "https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/11036611"
}

Getting More Results — Multi-Pass Search

By default, a single Airbnb search returns up to ~270 listings per city. Enable Find more listings to run the same city through multiple searches automatically and combine everything into one deduplicated list.

Why it finds more

Airbnb filters results based on your search criteria. A host who only accepts 4+ guests or 3+ nights won't appear in a default 1-guest, 1-night search. The multi-pass mode searches across:

• Stay durations 1 → 7 nights — catches listings with minimum stay requirements
• Future dates J+60, J+120, J+180 — catches listings currently fully booked (busy pros)
• Guest counts 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 people — catches large apartments, villas, group rentals
• Cross combinations (e.g. 6 guests + J+60) — the hardest-to-find listings

Result: typically 4–6× more listings per city compared to a standard single-pass search.

{
  "mode": "city",
  "city": ["Athens"],
  "multiDateSearch": true
}

Example log output:

📍 Athens — multi-pass search (durations + dates + guests)
   🗓️  1 night  · J+21:  270 found —  269 new  (269  total)
   🗓️  2 nights · J+21:  270 found —  183 new  (452  total)
   ...
   📅 5 nights · J+60:   270 found —  109 new  (732  total)
   📅 5 nights · J+120:  270 found —   97 new  (829  total)
   👥 4 guests · J+21:   270 found —  130 new  (970  total)
   👥 6 guests · J+21:   270 found —  169 new  (1139 total)
   ...
   ✅ Athens: 1400+ unique listings

⚠️ Takes ~5–10 minutes per city instead of ~30 seconds. Recommended for production runs.

Tips & Best Practices

Start small. Set maxPages: 2 on your first run. Check the output, then scale up.

Use multi-pass for production. Enable multiDateSearch when building a full lead list. A city like Athens or Lyon can yield 1,000–1,500 professional host listings instead of ~270.

One row per host. Enable deduplicateHosts for outreach — avoids contacting the same company multiple times when they manage several listings.

Combine modes. Run City search to find listings, export the URLs, then use Listing URLs mode to re-enrich with fresh data later.

Rate limiting. If you see 429 errors, switch antiBlocking to High.

OOM on 10k+ listings? The Actor uses streaming (push + free memory after each batch) to fit in 4 GB. If you still hit OOM, try extractionQuality: "fast" (no browser) or Resurrect with 8 GB.

FAQ

Why are some emails/phones empty? Not all professional hosts display contact info on their listing pages. Some only provide a contact form. The scraper extracts everything that's publicly visible.

What does "Professional host" mean? Airbnb explicitly labels certain hosts as professional — typically property management companies, concierge services, and rental agencies. The scraper identifies these hosts and extracts their business details.

Does it work outside France? Yes — it works for any city in the world. Supported locales: fr (France), es (Spain), en (US/international), de (Germany), it (Italy), pt (Portugal). Use "locale": "de" in input for Berlin, "locale": "it" for Rome, etc. The EU professional host disclosure (company name, email, phone) applies to all European cities.

Will it bypass Airbnb's bot detection? The scraper uses standard HTTP requests (like a browser) plus a Puppeteer fallback when needed. It respects delays and rate limits. No guarantees — Airbnb's detection can change.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler to run weekly or monthly and keep your lead list fresh.

How many listings can I get per city? With multiDateSearch: true, typically 1,000–1,500 unique listings per city. Without it, up to ~270. Airbnb caps search results at ~270 per query regardless of the number of pages.
