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 Scraper β€” Extract Vacation Rental Data, Pricing & Availability **VRBO Scraper** extracts rich, structured data from [VRBO.com](https://www.vrbo.com) vacation rental listings β€” including fee-inclusive pricing, full amenities, house rules, availability, and 20-30+ images per property.

Works with no-code automation tools without custom mapping. #### Run via Apify API (Python) ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN") run = client.actor("jaxay/vrbo-src").call(run_input={ "location": "Miami Beach, FL", "check_in": "2026-12-20", "check_out": "2026-12-27", "max_listings": 200, "include_details": True, "include_availability": True, "include_reviews": True, }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item["title"], item["nightly_price"], item["pets_allowed"]) ``` #### Run via Apify API (JavaScript) ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('jaxay/vrbo-src').call({ location: 'Austin, Texas', check_in: '2026-07-01', check_out: '2026-07-07', max_listings: 100, include_details: true, include_reviews: true, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ``` *** ### Performance and speed tips | Configuration | Listings | Estimated Time | |--------------|----------|----------------| | Basic (search only) | 10 | ~40-60s | | Basic (search only) | 50 | ~70-90s | | Basic (search only) | 200 | ~140-180s | | With `include_details` | 10 | ~70-100s | | Full enrichment (details + availability) | 10 | ~120-180s | | Full enrichment (details + availability) | 50 | ~5-8min | | Full enrichment + reviews | 10 | ~4-6min | | Full enrichment + reviews | 50 | ~14-20min | > Times shown are on a clean, unthrottled proxy IP. > On a throttled IP, add 10-15s for warmup recovery. > On a warm run (KV cache has fresh hashes), discovery > is skipped and runs are typically 5-10s faster. πŸš€ **Speed tips:** - Leave `include_details`, `include_availability`, and `include_reviews` off for fast market scans - Enable them only when you need amenities, description, availability, or review data - Run during off-peak hours (early morning US time) for fewer rate limits - Use `max_listings` to cap run time on large markets *** ### Roadmap β€” What's coming next #### πŸ”œ Phase 3 β€” Scrape by URL or listing ID Skip search entirely. Provide specific VRBO listing URLs or property IDs and get full data for those exact properties. ```json { "listing_urls": [ "https://www.vrbo.com/456572", "https://www.vrbo.com/3787326" ] } ``` Perfect for monitoring competitors, tracking your comparable set, or watching specific investment targets. #### πŸ“‹ Phase 4 β€” Advanced filters & market analytics Filter results by bedrooms, price range, rating, pets, and instant book directly in the input β€” no post-processing needed. ```json { "location": "Miami Beach, FL", "filters": { "min_bedrooms": 2, "max_nightly_price": 300, "pets_allowed": true, "min_rating": 8.0 } } ``` Also planned: market summary output β€” average nightly rate, median total price, occupancy estimate, and top amenities by neighborhood. *** ### Is it legal to scrape VRBO? This actor only accesses publicly visible data on VRBO.com β€” no login required, no private information, no personal data is collected. It operates the same way any person would when browsing VRBO in a web browser. > Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such > as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user > has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our scrapers, > when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you > should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal > data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other > regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless > you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your > reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. *** ### FAQ **Q: Do I need my own proxies?** No. The actor uses Apify's built-in residential proxy infrastructure, included in Apify paid plans. **Q: What if VRBO rate limits the requests?** The actor retries automatically up to 7 times with exponential backoff. Failed listings are skipped β€” you are never charged for failed extractions. **Q: Can I scrape international VRBO listings?** Yes. Use full location names for best accuracy: - βœ… `"London, England, United Kingdom"` - βœ… `"Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"` - βœ… `"Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico"` - βœ… `"Paris, Île-de-France, France"` **Q: Why is `host_name` empty?** VRBO hides host identity on search and detail pages until after booking. This is a VRBO platform restriction, not a scraper limitation. **Q: Why are `cleaning_fee`, `service_fee`, and `taxes` showing 0?** The actor parses these from VRBO's itemized line items in the price breakdown. They're populated when VRBO surfaces them as separate line items. Many listings bundle all fees into `total_price` without itemizing β€” in that case the three fields are 0 and `total_price` is the only authoritative number. If you need exact fees, the detail page often shows a more detailed breakdown than the search card; consider running with `include_details: true`. **Q: Why is `currency` empty for some listings?** The actor always hits the en\_US site (`siteId: 9001001`, locale `en_US`), so in practice every listing has currency `USD`. The actor still detects the symbol from the price text (`$` β†’ USD, `€` β†’ EUR, `Β£` β†’ GBP, `Β₯` β†’ JPY, `β‚Ή` β†’ INR) as a defensive safety net for forward compatibility β€” the field is empty only if the response contains no recognized symbol. Empty means "unknown," not "USD." **Q: How accurate are latitude and longitude?** Coordinates are extracted from VRBO's map URL β€” accurate to the neighborhood level. Exact addresses are not disclosed by VRBO. **Q: How do I get full-resolution images?** Remove the `?impolicy=resizecrop&ra=fit&rw=455&rh=455` query string from any `image_urls` entry to get the original full-size image. **Q: How are review counts counted?** When `include_reviews` is enabled, the actor fetches each listing's review summary (overall rating + category scores) and up to 5 most recent individual review records. The full review count is shown in the `review_count_text` field (e.g., "12 verified reviews") but only the 5 most recent full review records are included. Charge is $0.001 per listing where reviews are successfully extracted (summary OR recent review records). **Q: Why is there no reviewer name in `recent_reviews[]`?** Reviewer names are personal data. The actor intentionally omits `reviewer_name` (and all guest photos) to comply with PII best practices. Each review record contains only the rating, full text, stay info, and review ID. **Q: What's the recommended `max_listings` for full enrichment?** 200-300 per run. For larger datasets split into multiple runs. Basic mode handles 1,000 comfortably. **Q: Can I scrape a specific listing by URL?** Coming in Phase 3. For now, search by location and filter results by `listing_id`. **Q: How often is this actor maintained?** Actively maintained. All 6 persisted query hashes (typeahead, search, detail, availability, reviews, review records) are hardcoded constants used on every run β€” zero HTTP overhead for hash lookup. If VRBO rotates a hash, the per-query wrapper auto-discovers the new value mid-run and persists it for the next run. Breaking changes are fixed within days. **Q: Something isn't working β€” where do I report issues?** Use the **Issues** tab on this Actor's page. We actively monitor and respond to all reports. We're also open to building custom solutions β€” reach out via the Issues tab. *** ### Technical details - Pure HTTP requests β€” no headless browser, no Playwright, no Puppeteer - Streaming output β€” results appear in real-time, partial results always saved - Per-item error isolation β€” one bad listing never crashes the entire run - Auto-healing GraphQL hash refresh β€” all 6 persisted query hashes (typeahead, search, detail, availability, reviews, review\_records) are hardcoded constants; if VRBO rotates one, the per-query wrapper auto-discovers the new value mid-run and persists it for next time - Concurrent enrichment β€” 5 listings enriched in parallel for speed - Parallel JS bundle download β€” 5-bundle concurrent batches during hash discovery - Exponential backoff retry β€” up to 7 attempts on rate limits (429s) - Residential proxy support via Apify's proxy infrastructure - Smart multi-level location disambiguation for any city worldwide, with NEIGHBORHOOD/POI fallback - Per-run discovery cache β€” cold start with rotated hashes performs one discovery, not six # Actor input Schema ## `location` (type: `string`): Where to search (e.g. 'Miami Beach, FL', 'Aspen, CO', 'Maui, HI') ## `check_in` (type: `string`): Optional. Format: YYYY-MM-DD ## `check_out` (type: `string`): Optional.
