## 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.

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

## Airbnb Market Report — ADR & Seasonality by City

Turn public Airbnb search data into a **short-term rental market report** for any city or area: median nightly rate (ADR), price percentiles, **seasonality across future months**, supply mix by room type, quality landscape, and transparent monthly revenue scenarios.

Built for people evaluating a short-term rental investment or pricing their own listing — the questions AirDNA answers for $40+/month, answered on demand from live public data, for the cost of one run.

### What it does

1. Price-samples your market for several **future months** (one dated sample stay per month, starting next month) using public Airbnb search results.
2. Normalizes every listing to a comparable **nightly rate** (stay total ÷ nights) in your currency.
3. Outputs one `market_report` item plus the most-reviewed listings of the market (`top_listing` items).

### The report contains

- **ADR**: median, P25/P75, min/max nightly rate across all sampled listings.
- **Monthly table**: ADR stats per sampled month — this is your seasonality curve (high/low season and spread %).
- **Supply mix**: share and median ADR per room type (entire home / private room / ...).
- **Quality landscape**: average guest rating, median review count, Superhost share — how hard the competition is.
- **Revenue scenarios**: median ADR × 30 nights × 50% / 65% / 80% occupancy. These are labeled scenarios, not measurements — occupancy is the one number public search data cannot prove, so the report never pretends otherwise.

### Input example

```json
{
  "location": "Lisbon, Portugal",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "sampleMonths": 3,
  "maxListingsPerSample": 60
}
````

The defaults work as-is: just set your city.

### Output example (report item)

```json
{
  "type": "market_report",
  "location": "Lisbon, Portugal",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "generatedFromListings": 142,
  "adr": { "adrMedian": 108.8, "adrP25": 84.5, "adrP75": 152.3, "adrMin": 38, "adrMax": 420 },
  "monthly": [
    { "month": "2026-08", "adrMedian": 131.0, "listings": 60 },
    { "month": "2026-09", "adrMedian": 112.4, "listings": 58 },
    { "month": "2026-10", "adrMedian": 96.1, "listings": 57 }
  ],
  "seasonality": { "highSeasonMonth": "2026-08", "lowSeasonMonth": "2026-10", "spreadPct": 36 },
  "supplyMix": { "Entire home/apt": { "count": 118, "sharePct": 83, "adrMedian": 115.2 } },
  "quality": { "avgRating": 4.82, "medianReviewsCount": 74, "superhostSharePct": 44 },
  "monthlyRevenueScenarios": { "occupancy50pct": 1632, "occupancy65pct": 2122, "occupancy80pct": 2611 }
}
```

### How to use it

- **Evaluating a market**: run once per candidate city, compare `adrMedian`, `spreadPct` and `superhostSharePct` side by side.
- **Pricing your listing**: your room type's `adrMedian` in `supplyMix` is the market anchor; the monthly table tells you when to raise or drop.
- **Tracking a market**: schedule it monthly — each run re-samples the months ahead.

### Fair use & data

- Uses only **public Airbnb search results** (no login).
- **No host personal data** in the output — host names, photos and profiles are deliberately dropped; only an aggregate Superhost share survives.
- Inputs are hard-capped (6 months, 200 listings per sample) so runs stay bounded and predictable.

### FAQ

**Is the occupancy real?** No — and nobody's public number is. Occupancy scenarios are clearly labeled multipliers on measured ADR. What IS measured: dated prices, supply, ratings.

**Why do monthly listing counts differ?** Airbnb returns what is actually bookable for those dates — that variation is itself a market signal (availability tightens in high season).

**Which months are sampled?** Always the 10th of each future month, for `nightsPerSample` nights, so runs are comparable.

# Actor input Schema

## `location` (type: `string`):

The market to analyze, as you would type it in the Airbnb search bar, e.g. 'Lisbon, Portugal' or 'Nice, France'.

## `currency` (type: `string`):

3-letter currency code for all rates in the report (e.g. USD, EUR).

## `sampleMonths` (type: `integer`):

How many future months to price-sample (1 sample stay per month, starting next month). More months = better seasonality picture, higher cost. Hard maximum: 6.

## `nightsPerSample` (type: `integer`):

Length of the sample stay used to collect dated prices (nightly rate = stay total / nights).

## `maxListingsPerSample` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on listings collected per sampled month. Hard maximum: 200.

## `adults` (type: `integer`):

Guest count used for the sample stays — affects which listings and prices Airbnb returns.

## `topListingsCount` (type: `integer`):

Besides the report item, also output the N most-reviewed listings of the market (0 to disable).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "location": "Lisbon, Portugal",
  "currency": "USD",
  "sampleMonths": 3,
  "nightsPerSample": 3,
  "maxListingsPerSample": 60,
  "adults": 2,
  "topListingsCount": 20
}
```
