## 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.

# README

## Airbnb Scraper — Listings, Prices & Ratings

Scrape **Airbnb search results** into clean, flat JSON: listing IDs and URLs, prices (including active discounts), ratings and review counts, GPS coordinates, photos, and badges like *Guest favorite* and *Superhost*. Paste any Airbnb search URL — **every filter you set in the browser is honored**: dates, guests, price range, amenities, property types, even a drawn map area.

Built reliability-first: no headless browsers to crash, no brittle CSS selectors — the actor reads Airbnb's own embedded data payload, with automatic retries and IP rotation.

### What you get per listing

| Field group | Fields |
|---|---|
| **Identity** | `listingId`, direct `url`, `name` (host's headline), `title` (e.g. "Home in Sarasota") |
| **Price** | `priceLabel` ("$1,223 for 5 nights, originally $1,573"), `price`, `originalPrice`, `discountedPrice`, `priceQualifier`, per-night line when shown |
| **Quality** | `rating` (4.95), `reviewsCount`, `isNewListing`, `badges` (Guest favorite, Superhost) |
| **Location** | `latitude`, `longitude` — map-ready |
| **Media** | Up to 5 photo URLs |
| **Context** | Search location, page, position (rank tracking), check-in/out dates used |

### Use cases

- **Pricing & revenue research** — pull competitors' rates for your dates across a whole market; track discounts week over week.
- **Market analysis** — supply counts, rating distributions, and price bands by neighborhood (coordinates included for mapping).
- **Deal hunting at scale** — filter by discount size across hundreds of listings.
- **Rank tracking** — position field shows where any listing appears for a given search.
- **AI agents** — feed live short-term-rental market data to agents via API or MCP.

### Quick start

1. Type plain locations (e.g. `Austin, Texas`) — optionally with check-in/out dates and guest count, so prices reflect real stays, **or** paste full Airbnb search URLs from your browser for full filter control.
2. Set max listings per search (Airbnb serves ~270 per search — split into narrower searches for full market coverage).
3. Run and export JSON/CSV/Excel, or call it on a schedule via the API.

### Example input

```json
{
  "locations": ["Sarasota, Florida"],
  "checkIn": "2026-08-16",
  "checkOut": "2026-08-21",
  "adults": 2,
  "maxListingsPerSearch": 180,
  "currency": "USD"
}
````

### Example output

```json
{
  "type": "listing",
  "listingId": "1652957843916333450",
  "url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1652957843916333450",
  "name": "Stylish Pool Home 4BR Near Siesta Key \"Palm Noir\"",
  "title": "Home in Sarasota",
  "rating": 5.0,
  "reviewsCount": 8,
  "isNewListing": false,
  "badges": ["Guest favorite"],
  "priceLabel": "$3,190 for 5 nights",
  "price": "$3,190",
  "priceQualifier": "for 5 nights",
  "latitude": 27.30754,
  "longitude": -82.52108,
  "images": ["https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/hosting/..."],
  "searchLocation": "Sarasota, Florida",
  "page": 0,
  "position": 2
}
```

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.001 per run |
| Listing scraped | $0.004 (= **$4 per 1,000 listings**) |

A full market snapshot (270 listings) ≈ **$1.09**. You pay only for listings actually delivered — failed requests cost you nothing. Set a *Maximum total charge* on any run to hard-cap spend.

### Use it via API

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/USERNAME~airbnb-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"locations": ["Lisbon"], "maxListingsPerSearch": 54}'
```

Works with the Apify JavaScript/Python clients, schedules, webhooks, and integrations (Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, LangChain), and as an AI-agent tool via the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp).

### Reliability notes

- Reads Airbnb's embedded state payload — the same data the page itself renders — instead of scraping HTML markup, so cosmetic redesigns don't break it.
- Residential proxy on by default (Airbnb blocks datacenter IPs); requests retry with fresh IPs automatically.
- If Airbnb changes its payload structure, the actor fails loudly with a clear message rather than silently returning junk — and I ship fixes fast. Found an issue? Open it on the **Issues** tab; I typically respond within a day.

### FAQ

**Are prices per night or per stay?** When your search has dates, Airbnb shows stay totals (the `priceQualifier` says so, e.g. "for 5 nights") plus a per-night line when available. Without dates, listings show representative nightly pricing.

**Why max ~270 listings per search?** That's Airbnb's own cap per search. To cover a large market fully, run several narrower searches (by neighborhood, price band, or property type) — the actor dedupes by `listingId` within a run.

**Is this allowed?** The actor reads publicly visible search results at polite rates. You're responsible for complying with applicable laws and terms for your use case.

**Roadmap** — listing detail enrichment (amenities, descriptions, host profiles), reviews, and availability calendars. Open an issue to vote.

# Actor input Schema

## `locations` (type: `array`):

Plain-text places to search, e.g. <code>Austin, Texas</code> or <code>Lisbon</code>. The actor builds the Airbnb search for you. Use <b>Search URLs</b> below instead when you want specific filters.

## `checkIn` (type: `string`):

Optional. Applied to plain-text locations. With dates set, prices are stay totals for your dates.

## `checkOut` (type: `string`):

Optional. Applied to plain-text locations.

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

Optional guest count applied to plain-text locations.

## `searchUrls` (type: `array`):

Full Airbnb search URLs copied from your browser — every filter is honored (price range, amenities, property type, dates, guests, map area). E.g. <code>https://www.airbnb.com/s/Austin--Texas/homes?price\_max=200</code>

## `maxListingsPerSearch` (type: `integer`):

Airbnb serves at most ~270 results (15 pages) per search. For more coverage, split into narrower searches (e.g. by price band or neighborhood).

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

ISO currency code for prices, e.g. USD, EUR, GBP.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Airbnb blocks datacenter IPs — keep residential proxy enabled on the platform.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "locations": [
    "Sarasota, Florida"
  ],
  "maxListingsPerSearch": 90,
  "currency": "USD",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```
