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 ## Apartments.com Scraper Apartments.com Scraper pulls rental listings from Apartments.com. Point it at a search URL for any city or neighborhood and it returns prices, floor plans, amenities, photos, and contact info. Pagination runs on its own. No login or account needed. --- ### What it collects For each listing the actor returns: - Property name, address, city, state, and zip code - GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) - Monthly rent range (low and high) - Floor plans: beds, baths, square footage, price range, and availability - Full amenity list (pool, gym, laundry, parking, pet policy, etc.) - Contact phone number and property website - Property description - Star rating and review count - Up to 20 property photos - Pet-friendly, parking, pool, and gym flags as true/false fields --- ### How to use 1. Open the actor and go to the **Input** tab. 2. Paste one or more Apartments.com URLs into the **Start URLs** field. 3. Adjust **Max items** if you want to cap the run. 4. Click **Start**. The actor works with: - Search pages: `https://www.apartments.com/new-york-ny/` - Filtered searches: `https://www.apartments.com/chicago-il/1-bedrooms/` - Direct listing pages: `https://www.apartments.com/property-name-city-st/abc123/` --- ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | list of strings | required | Apartments.com search or listing URLs to scrape | | `includeFloorPlans` | boolean | `true` | Include detailed floor plan data per listing | | `includeAmenities` | boolean | `true` | Include the full amenity list per listing | | `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Max listings to collect per run (up to 1000) | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | `60` | Per-request timeout in seconds | --- ### Output example ```json { "url": "https://www.apartments.com/the-station-apartments-bronx-ny/2vjnkfb/", "listingId": "2vjnkfb", "name": "The Station Apartments", "address": "5959 Broadway, Bronx, NY 10463", "streetAddress": "5959 Broadway", "city": "Bronx", "state": "NY", "zipCode": "10463", "latitude": 40.88934, "longitude": -73.89894, "phone": "+1-914-768-4947", "website": "https://www.thestation5959.com/", "propertyDescription": "Move quickly to secure your new home at 5959 Broadway...", "ratingValue": 4.0, "reviewCount": 3, "priceMin": 1750, "priceMax": 2300, "floorPlans": [ { "name": "Studio", "beds": "Studio", "baths": "1", "sqftMin": 400, "sqftMax": 450, "priceMin": 1750, "priceMax": 1800, "available": true }, { "name": "One Bedroom", "beds": "1", "baths": "1", "sqftMin": 650, "sqftMax": 750, "priceMin": 1950, "priceMax": 2300, "available": true } ], "amenities": [ "Laundry Facilities", "Elevator", "Fitness Center", "High Speed Internet Access", "Air Conditioning", "Hardwood Floors", "Stainless Steel Appliances" ], "images": [ "https://images1.apartments.com/i2/oUcfsOn4eATdIG1Z.../primary-photo.jpg", "https://images1.apartments.com/i2/HplYp2BQkAyISTPz.../building-photo.jpg" ], "isPetFriendly": false, "hasParking": false, "hasPool": false, "hasGym": true, "scrapedAt": "2026-05-06T12:34:56.789Z", "error": null } ```` *** ### Use cases **Rental price tracking** — Monitor how rents shift month over month in a city or neighborhood. Feed results into a spreadsheet or database and re-run the actor on a schedule. **Real estate investing** — Pull listings across multiple markets and compare cap rates, price-per-sqft, and amenity profiles before making site visits. **Lead generation** — Build a list of property manager phone numbers and websites for a specific city. Export to CSV and use in outreach campaigns. **Market research** — Compare average rents by bedroom count, pet policy, or proximity to a specific zip code. Combine with census data for neighborhood-level analysis. **Competitive analysis** — Track a competitor property's pricing and vacancy signals (available floor plans) over time. *** ### Estimated cost A typical run scraping 100 listings uses roughly 200 actor compute units. At standard Apify pricing that works out to a few cents per run. Larger runs over 1,000 listings cost proportionally more. *** ### Limits and notes - Apartments.com shows roughly 40 listings per search page. For a city like New York there can be 400 to 700 pages of results. - Set `maxItems` to control how many listings you collect per run. - Floor plan pricing is scraped from the rendered detail page. If a listing shows only a contact form with no published price, `priceMin` and `priceMax` will be null. - Images are direct CDN URLs from Apartments.com. They are public and do not require authentication. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): One or more Apartments.com search or listing URLs to scrape.
