## 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.

### Use cases

- **Market research** -- Analyze Airbnb pricing trends across different neighborhoods and cities
- **Competitive analysis** -- Compare property types, prices, and ratings in a target area
- **Travel planning** -- Find the best-rated and most affordable listings for your trip
- **Real estate insights** -- Identify popular short-term rental areas using GPS coordinates
- **Price monitoring** -- Track pricing changes for specific locations over time
- **Data journalism** -- Collect rental market data for reporting and analysis

### Tips

- **Proxy recommended** -- For consistent results, use a residential proxy to avoid rate limiting
- **Date-specific pricing** -- Set check-in and check-out dates to get accurate total prices instead of per-night estimates
- **Results per page** -- Airbnb returns up to 18 listings per search page
- **Location format** -- Use common location names. The scraper handles URL encoding automatically

### FAQ

**How many listings can I scrape?**
Each search page returns up to 18 listings. Set `maxItems` to control how many you want (max 100).

**Do I need to set check-in and check-out dates?**
No. Without dates, Airbnb shows general pricing. With dates, you get exact total prices for your stay.

**What proxy should I use?**
Residential proxies work best. Datacenter proxies may be blocked by Airbnb. You can also try without a proxy first.

**Why are some fields empty?**
Not all listings have discounted prices, subtitles, or host photos. Empty strings are returned instead of null values.

**Does this scraper need login credentials?**
No. The scraper uses public Airbnb search pages that don't require authentication.

**What locations are supported?**
Any location that Airbnb supports -- cities, neighborhoods, regions, countries, and specific addresses worldwide.
