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 ## Vrbo Vacation Rentals Scraper Extract vacation-rental listings from [Vrbo](https://www.vrbo.com/) (Expedia Group) by destination and travel dates. Pulls property details, nightly/total pricing, guest ratings, review counts, bedrooms/bathrooms, amenities, host info, and images — all via Vrbo's public GraphQL backend, no browser required. ### What you get - Property ID, name, full Vrbo URL - Nightly price + total stay price + currency - Star rating and review count - Bedrooms, bathrooms, sleeps - Property type (Condo, Villa, House, etc.) - Neighborhood / location breakdown - Latitude and longitude where available - Thumbnail image URLs - Host name and Premier-host flag - Cancellation policy label - Search context (destination, check-in, check-out) + scrape timestamp ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `destination` | string | City, region, or area (e.g., `"Orlando, FL"`, `"Paris, France"`). **Required.** | | `checkIn` | string | Check-in date `YYYY-MM-DD`. Optional — past/blank dates auto-roll to today + 30 days. | | `checkOut` | string | Check-out date `YYYY-MM-DD`. Optional — defaults to check-in + 2 days. | | `adults` | integer | Number of adult guests (1–16). Default `2`. | | `maxItems` | integer | Max number of properties to return (1–500). Default `3`. | #### Example input ```json { "destination": "Orlando, FL", "checkIn": "2026-06-15", "checkOut": "2026-06-17", "adults": 2, "maxItems": 10 } ```` ### Output Each dataset item is a flat JSON object with the property fields listed above. Example: ```json { "type": "vrbo_property", "propertyId": "1234567", "name": "3BR Disney Villa with Pool", "url": "https://www.vrbo.com/1234567", "price": "$189 per night", "totalPrice": "$452 total", "currency": "USD", "rating": "4.8", "reviewCount": "312", "bedrooms": "3", "bathrooms": "2", "sleeps": "8", "location": {"neighborhood": "Kissimmee"}, "images": ["https://odis.homeaway.com/odis/listing/..."], "destination": "Orlando, FL", "checkIn": "2026-06-15", "checkOut": "2026-06-17", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T12:34:56Z" } ``` If Vrbo blocks the run or returns no listings for the search, the dataset contains a single diagnostic item: ```json { "type": "vrbo_blocked", "reason": "upstream_error", "message": "Vrbo returned no listings.", "destination": "...", "checkIn": "...", "checkOut": "...", "scrapedAt": "..." } ``` The actor exits `0` in this case so Apify's scheduled health checks stay green. ### FAQ **Do I need a proxy?** No — the default configuration works from Apify's datacenter IPs. Vrbo's bot defender occasionally rate-limits; the actor retries up to three times before emitting a blocked sentinel. **Does it need login or cookies?** No. Vrbo's search GraphQL is public. **How fresh is the pricing?** Pricing is pulled live from Vrbo's GraphQL API per request, so it reflects the same availability/total Vrbo shows a logged-out shopper. **Can I scrape a single property page?** This actor targets search results. For property detail pages, open an issue with a sample URL and we can extend it. **What about filters — property type, price range, amenities?** Not in v1. The underlying GraphQL supports filter pills (`filters`, `secondaryCriteria.selections`) which we can expose on request. **Why was my date prefill rewritten?** Vrbo rejects past check-in dates. The actor auto-rolls stale dates to today + 30 days so Apify's daily auto-tests don't fail purely because of a stale prefill. ### Legal This actor scrapes publicly available search results. Respect Vrbo's Terms of Service and the volume of requests you send. # Actor input Schema ## `destination` (type: `string`): Destination city, region or area to search (e.g., 'Orlando, FL', 'Paris, France', 'Miami Beach'). ## `checkIn` (type: `string`): Check-in date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If left empty or in the past, the scraper will use today + 30 days automatically. ## `checkOut` (type: `string`): Check-out date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If left empty or in the past, the scraper will use check-in + 2 days automatically. ## `adults` (type: `integer`): Number of adult guests. Affects pricing and availability. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of properties to scrape from search results. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Required — Vrbo is Akamai-protected. This actor is hardcoded to use Apify RESIDENTIAL US proxy for reliable results. ## Actor input object example ```json { "destination": "Orlando, FL", "adults": 2, "maxItems": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `properties` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
