Extract apartment rental listings from Apartments.com — property name, address, rent range, beds, amenities, phone, and photos. Uses a stealth browser (Camoufox primary, Patchright fallback) with US residential proxy to bypass Akamai Bot Manager, with an archived-snapshot fallback when even that is blocked.

Features

  • 15 output fields per property (all fields present by default; rent fields only when a rent was found)
  • Supports city listings (e.g., /miami-fl/) and direct property URLs
  • Rent range — min/max parsed from text
  • Beds — bed range from the listing card
  • Amenities — full amenity list
  • Photo URLs — property images
  • US RESIDENTIAL proxy hardcoded — Apartments.com is Akamai-protected
  • Cross-URL deduplication — the same property never appears twice, even across overlapping search URLs

Input

FieldTypeDescription
startUrlsArrayApartments.com URLs (city listing or property detail)
maxItemsIntegerMax properties to scrape (default 20)

Example Input

{
"startUrls": [
"https://www.apartments.com/miami-fl/",

}

Data freshness

The scraper always tries to fetch the page live from Apartments.com first (Camoufox/Patchright + US residential). Only when every direct attempt is blocked by Akamai does it fall back to the latest Wayback Machine snapshot — which can be weeks or months old. Every record's dataSource field tells you exactly which source it came from (direct:* = live; wayback:<timestamp> = archived, check the timestamp).

FAQ

Q: Why does this need US RESIDENTIAL proxy? Apartments.com is protected by Akamai Bot Manager which blocks all datacenter IPs and non-browser clients. A stealth browser (Camoufox) combined with residential proxy is required. Both are hardcoded — no configuration needed.

Q: How fresh is the data? Live when Akamai lets the browser through (the common case after the recent fix); otherwise the newest Wayback snapshot with its timestamp exposed in dataSource.

Q: Can I filter by price or beds? Yes — use Apartments.com URL filters like /miami-fl/2-bedrooms-under-2000/ as your start URL.
