🚀 Quick Start

Input - Three Distinct Modes

The scraper provides three organized input modes for maximum flexibility. Use the Mode Selection toggle at the top to choose your scraping mode.

Mode 1: City Search

Enter a city name to scrape all properties in that city. Optionally add filters to target specific property segments:

{
  "mode": "city",
  "city": "Lyon",
  "onlyProHosts": true,
  "priceMin": 1000,
  "priceMax": 5000,
  "priceFilterNumNights": 5,
  "roomTypes": ["Entire home/apt"],
  "flexibleTripLengths": ["weekend_trip"],
  "amenities": ["Pool", "Jacuzzi"]
}

Available filters (all optional):

• city: String or array of strings - City name(s) to search
• onlyProHosts: Boolean (default: true) - Only keep listings with professional hosts
• maxPages: Number (default: 0 = unlimited, stops at Airbnb's ~19-20 page limit)
• checkin / checkout: Date strings - Filter by availability dates
• priceMin / priceMax: Number - Price range per night in euros
• priceFilterNumNights: Number - Number of nights for price calculation (default: 5)
• roomTypes: Array - Room types ("Entire home/apt", "Private room", "Shared room")
• flexibleTripLengths: Array - Trip lengths ("weekend_trip", "one_week", "one_month")
• amenities: Array - Amenities filters. Supported: "Pool", "Jacuzzi"
• onlyGuestFavorites: Boolean - Filter for guest favorite listings
• onlyFlexibleCancellation: Boolean - Filter for flexible cancellation policies
• onlyDiscounted: Boolean - Filter for discounted listings
• airbnbDomain: Optional domain override (defaults to https://www.airbnb.com)

What happens:

1. Collects all property URLs from the city matching your filters (up to 15 pages)
2. Extracts contact information and market data from each property
3. Filters for professional hosts (if onlyProHosts: true)
4. Saves results to dataset

Perfect for: Market research, city-wide lead generation, comprehensive analysis, targeted professional host discovery

Mode 2: Single Listing

Enter a direct listing URL for fast single extraction:

{
  "mode": "single",
  "listingUrl": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/46034337",
  "onlyProHosts": true
}

What happens:

1. Skips URL collection phase (instant start)
2. Directly extracts contact information and market data from the specified listing
3. Saves if it's a professional host (if onlyProHosts: true)

Perfect for: Quick verification, single property analysis, when you already have listing IDs

Mode 3: Bulk Listings

Enter multiple listing URLs for parallel bulk processing. Supports two input formats:

{
  "mode": "bulk",
  "listingUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/46034337" },
    { "url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1254120913116119830" }
  ],
  "onlyProHosts": true
}

Or using bulkListings (array of URL strings):

{
  "mode": "bulk",
  "bulkListings": [
    "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/46034337",
    "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1254120913116119830"
  ],
  "onlyProHosts": true
}

What happens:

1. Skips URL collection phase
2. Processes all listings in parallel (50 concurrent requests on Apify)
3. Extracts contact information and market data from each listing simultaneously
4. Filters for professional hosts (if onlyProHosts: true)

Perfect for: Batch processing, processing pre-collected listing IDs, high-volume extraction
