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 ## Storage.com Self-Storage Facility Scraper Scrape **Storage.com** — the nationwide self-storage facility comparison directory covering all 50 US states. Search facilities by city, ZIP code, or state, browse the full list of cities a state covers, or pull deep detail (phone number, office/gate hours, unit-by-unit pricing, and Google review text) for specific facility pages by URL. HTTP-only, no login, no cookies, no API key required. ### What this actor does - **Five modes:** `city`, `zip`, `state`, `citiesByState`, `facilityDetail` - **City / ZIP / state search:** returns storage facilities with address, phone, starting price, ratings, and amenities - **Facility detail lookup:** fetches office hours, gate-access hours, full unit-size and per-unit pricing breakdown, and sample Google reviews for a specific facility page - **Filters:** amenities (climate controlled, drive-up access, 24-hour access, and more), unit size, sort order - **State directory:** list every city Storage.com covers within a state - **Empty fields are omitted** — a field is only present when real data was found ### Output per facility (`recordType: "facility"`) - `facilityId`, `name`, `facilityType` - `address`, `streetAddress`, `city`, `state`, `fullState`, `zip` - `latitude`, `longitude`, `distanceMiles` (when searching by city/ZIP) - `cityTotalFacilities` — Storage.com's total facility count for the searched city/ZIP market (not just the number of records this run emitted; city/ZIP/state search modes only) - `zipSearchResolvedLocation` — the city/state Storage.com resolved a searched ZIP code to, e.g. `"Beverly Hills, CA"` for ZIP `90210` (mode=`zip` only) - `phone` - `facilityUrl` — canonical Storage.com facility page - `imageUrls[]` — facility photos - `mapImageUrl` — static map image - `isOpenNow`, `onlineMoveInAvailable`, `bookableOnline` - `startingPrice`, `lowestPrice`, `priceCurrency` - `adminFee`, `lockFee`, `totalFees` - `promoText`, `hasPromotion`, `militaryDiscount`, `studentDiscount`, `seniorDiscount`, `hasAaaDiscount`, `hasPenskeTruck` - `rating`, `reviewCount` — Storage.com's own review aggregate - `googleRating`, `googleReviewCount`, `googleReviewsSample[]` — Google review aggregate and up to a handful of individual reviews (author, rating, text, relative time, review date), when the facility has Google reviews enabled - `unitsAvailable` - `unitPricing[]` — per-unit-size breakdown: `size`, `squareFootage`, `widthFeet`, `lengthFeet`, `price`, `regularPrice` (when discounted), `special`, `amenities[]`, `unitType`, `unitsOfThisTypeAvailable` (when published), `reservationUrl` (direct booking deep link for that specific unit) - `hasClimateControlledUnits`, `hasDriveUpUnits` - `amenities[]` — facility-level amenities (video surveillance, electronic gate access, 24-hour access, etc.) - `paymentMethods[]`, `autoPayAvailable`, `acceptedCreditCards[]` - `officeHours{}`, `accessHours{}` — per weekday, when published - `holidayClosures[]` — upcoming closure dates, when published - `description` - `recordType: "facility"`, `scrapedAt` ### Output per city (`recordType: "city"`, mode=`citiesByState`) - `city`, `state`, `fullState`, `cityUrl` ### Output for invalid input (`recordType: "error"`) - `errorType`, `message`, plus the offending input field for traceability ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `city` | `city` / `zip` / `state` / `citiesByState` / `facilityDetail` | | `state` | string | `texas` | US state (mode=city, mode=state, mode=citiesByState) | | `city` | string | `Austin` | City name within the selected state (mode=city) | | `zipCode` | string | – | 5-digit US ZIP code (mode=zip) | | `facilityUrls` | array | – | Full Storage.com facility page URLs (mode=facilityDetail) | | `amenities` | array | – | Filter to facilities with ALL selected amenities | | `unitSize` | string | – | Filter to facilities offering a specific unit size | | `sortBy` | string | `recommended` | `recommended` / `price` / `distance` / `reviews` / `rating` / `relevance` | | `maxItems` | integer | `20` | Hard cap on emitted records (1–2000) | ### Examples #### Example: search a city with amenity and size filters ```json { "mode": "city", "state": "california", "city": "Los Angeles", "amenities": ["climateControlled", "twentyFourHourAccess"], "unitSize": "76-100", "sortBy": "price", "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example: search near a ZIP code ```json { "mode": "zip", "zipCode": "10001", "maxItems": 30 } ``` #### Example: browse every facility in a state ```json { "mode": "state", "state": "wyoming", "maxItems": 200 } ``` #### Example: list every city a state covers ```json { "mode": "citiesByState", "state": "florida", "maxItems": 500 } ``` #### Example: full detail for specific facilities ```json { "mode": "facilityDetail", "facilityUrls": [ "https://www.storage.com/self-storage/texas/austin/extra-space-storage-8990-austin-boston-lane-232554/" ] } ``` ### Use cases - **Price comparison tools** — aggregate starting prices and unit-size pricing across cities - **Market research** — analyze self-storage supply, amenities, and pricing by state or metro - **Lead generation** — build contact lists of self-storage operators with phone numbers and addresses - **Local SEO / directory sites** — enrich a self-storage directory with fresh facility data - **Real estate & site-selection analysis** — gauge self-storage density and pricing in a target market ### FAQ **What is the data source?** Storage.com, a self-storage facility search and comparison directory covering all 50 US states. This actor is an independent, third-party scraper — it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Storage.com. **Do I need a login, cookie, or API key?** No. Every mode works with a plain input — no authentication of any kind. **How does ZIP code search work?** The actor searches Storage.com's own ZIP-proximity endpoint directly (`/self-storage/zip/{zip}/`), which returns facilities ranked by actual distance to that ZIP rather than the whole containing city. If that endpoint has no coverage for a given ZIP, the actor automatically falls back to resolving the ZIP to its city/state and searching that city's page instead. If neither path finds coverage, the actor returns a typed error record explaining why instead of failing silently. **Why do some facilities have fewer fields than others?** Fields are only included when Storage.com actually published that data for the facility. Phone number, office hours, and full unit-by-unit pricing are richest on `facilityDetail` mode; `city`/`zip`/`state` search results include a smaller representative sample of unit prices per facility (small / medium / large). **Why is `googleReviewsSample` sometimes missing?** Not every facility has Google Reviews integration enabled on Storage.com. When it is, up to a handful of the most relevant reviews are included with author, rating, text, and date. **What does `unitSize` filter on?** Storage.com's own unit-size buckets (5'x5' through 10'x30'). Facilities are only returned if they currently list an available unit within that size range. **What is `cityTotalFacilities`?** Storage.com's own reported total facility count for the searched city/ZIP market — useful as market-size context alongside the (possibly smaller, `maxItems`-capped) set of records this run actually returned. Only present on `city`/`zip`/`state` search modes, not `facilityDetail`. **How current is the data?** Every run fetches live pages directly from storage.com at request time — pricing and availability reflect what the site shows at that moment. **Is the phone number always the facility's own number?** In `city`, `zip`, and `state` search results, yes — it's the facility's own listed number. On `facilityDetail` lookups, Storage.com occasionally serves a shared call-tracking number instead of the facility's direct line (this is Storage.com's own call-attribution system, not something this actor controls); calling it still reaches the facility. If you need the guaranteed facility-specific number, cross-reference the same facility's `city`/`zip`/`state` search result. **Does `sortBy=price` guarantee strictly ascending prices?** The `sortBy` parameter is sent directly to Storage.com's own search ranking, and results reflect exactly what storage.com itself returns for that sort — the actor does not re-sort results locally. On Storage.com, `price` sort is blended with other ranking signals (e.g. sponsored/recommended placement) rather than a pure ascending sort, the same behavior you'd see browsing the site directly. **Does `mode=state` return every facility in the state in one run?** It sweeps every city Storage.com lists for that state, in order, until `maxItems` is reached or every city has been checked. For large states this can be a long-running search — set `maxItems` to the number of facilities you actually need to keep runs fast. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `state` (type: `string`): US state to search (mode=city, mode=state, mode=citiesByState). ## `city` (type: `string`): City name within the selected state (mode=city), e.g. `Austin`, `Los Angeles`, `New York`. ## `zipCode` (type: `string`): 5-digit US ZIP code to search near (mode=zip).
