• Built-in filters — narrow by city, price range, bedrooms and property type before scraping
• Structured output — clean JSON/CSV ready for Excel, Google Sheets, Python, SQL or any BI tool

What data can you extract from Rent.com?

Listing mode (fast — ~30 listings per request)

Every listing includes: property name, full address, city, state, ZIP code, GPS coordinates, monthly rent range, bedroom and bathroom counts, square footage, availability status, available unit count, pet-friendly flag, contact phone number, photo count and direct listing URL.

Detail mode (rich — 1 extra request per listing)

Enable scrapeDetails to also get: floor plans with unit-level beds/baths/availability, full amenity list (20-30 items per property), pet policy with deposit and weight limits, parking type and fees, special deals and promotions, property description, up to 50 photo URLs, and neighborhood names.

How much does Rent.com Scraper cost?

Mode	Speed	Approximate cost
Listings only	~30 listings/request	~$1.50 per 1,000 listings
With details	+1 request per listing	~$5 per 1,000 listings

Platform usage (Apify compute units) is billed separately. Listing-only mode is extremely efficient — one page fetch returns ~30 properties.

Tips for best results

• Start with listing mode — it's 5x cheaper and gives you rent, location, beds, phone and availability. Enable detail mode only when you need amenities and floor plans.
• Use residential proxies — Rent.com blocks datacenter IPs. The default proxy config uses Apify residential proxies.
• Filter before scraping — use minPrice, maxPrice, minBeds to reduce noise and save compute.
• Schedule weekly runs — set up a recurring schedule to track rent changes over time.

Integrations

Rent.com Scraper works with the full Apify ecosystem:

• API — call programmatically from Python, Node.js, PHP or any language
• Webhooks — trigger actions when a run completes
• Google Sheets — export results directly to a spreadsheet
• Zapier / Make — connect to 5,000+ apps and automate workflows
• Slack / Email — get notifications on new listings or price changes

Limitations

• US rental listings only (Rent.com covers the United States)
• Phone numbers and amenities require scrapeDetails: true
• Some listings may have incomplete data depending on what the property manager uploaded
• Rate limiting may occur with high concurrency — keep maxConcurrency at 1-3
