## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Vrbo Rental Listings Extractor: scrape vacation rental search results

Vrbo rental listings extractor that pulls vacation rental search results from Vrbo.com. Paste a search URL and collect property names, nightly prices, stay totals, guest ratings, review counts, amenities, and listing images.

It works from the same Vrbo search pages you already use: pick a destination, dates, and guest count, copy the URL, and run the actor. Each rental becomes one dataset row you can export or send to Google Sheets, Make, or Zapier.

### Use cases

- **Vacation rental pricing**: compare nightly rates and stay totals across a destination without opening every card
- **Competitor tracking**: watch nearby Vrbo properties, ratings, and amenities on a schedule
- **Market research**: build a snapshot of supply, prices, and review volume for a city or region
- **SEO content**: keep destination pages and rental roundups current with live Vrbo listing data
- **Investment screening**: scan bedrooms, guest capacity, and asking rates before a deeper look at a market

#### Example output

```json
{
    "searchUrl": "https://www.vrbo.com/search?destination=California,+United+States+of+America&regionId=206&latLong=36.778259,-119.417931&flexibility=0_DAY&d1=2026-08-29&startDate=2026-08-29&d2=2026-08-30&endDate=2026-08-30&adults=2",

    "listingUrl": "https://www.vrbo.com/40907ha",
    "propertyType": "Apartment",
    "locationText": "5 min drive to the beach",
    "bedrooms": 1,
    "beds": 4,
    "pricePerNight": 248,
    "priceTotal": null,
    "originalPrice": 263,
    "currency": "USD",
    "feesIncluded": true,
    "discountText": "Last minute $16 off",
    "premierHost": true,
    "cancellationPolicy": null,
    "ratingScore": 9.6,
    "reviewCount": 31,
    "ratingPhrase": "Exceptional",
    "features": ["Apartment", "1 bedrooms", "4 beds"],
    "images": [
        "https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33610000/33604400/33604339/05eea101.jpg"
    ],
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-17T10:15:22.000Z",
    "error": null
}
```

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `searchUrls` | array | prefilled California search | One or more Vrbo search URLs, one per line |
| `maxItems` | integer | 50 | Maximum listings to save in this run (1 to 1000). First search page has 50 cards. |
| `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | 90 | Per-request timeout in seconds |

Paste search URLs into `searchUrls`. Copy the address bar after you search on Vrbo.com so destination, dates, and guest count stay intact.

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchUrls": [
        "https://www.vrbo.com/search?destination=California,+United+States+of+America&regionId=206&latLong=36.778259,-119.417931&flexibility=0_DAY&d1=2026-08-29&startDate=2026-08-29&d2=2026-08-30&endDate=2026-08-30&adults=2"
    ],
    "maxItems": 50,
    "requestTimeoutSecs": 90
}
```

### How it works

1. You paste one or more Vrbo search result URLs.
2. The actor loads each search page through built-in bypass infrastructure.
3. It collects rental cards from the page, including pagination until `maxItems` is reached.
4. Each listing is stored in the default dataset as JSON.

### Integrations

Connect Vrbo Rental Listings Extractor with other apps using [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations). Typical setups include Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Airbyte, and webhooks that fire when a run finishes.

### FAQ

**How do I scrape Vrbo rental listings with this actor?**
Search on Vrbo.com, copy the full search URL, paste it into `searchUrls`, and run the actor. Keep dates and guest count in the URL if you care about priced results.

**What data does this Vrbo property scraper extract?**
Name, listing URL, property type, location text, bedrooms, beds, nightly price, stay total, strike-through price, fees included, Premier Host, cancellation text, rating, review count, and listing images — everything the Vrbo search page itself exposes for a card. Bathrooms, sleeps count, and coordinates aren't included: Vrbo's search results simply don't carry those fields (they only appear on the individual listing page).

**Can I scrape more than one Vrbo search URL?**
Yes. Add several search URLs to `searchUrls`. The actor processes them in order and stops when it hits `maxItems`.

**Does it extract listing images?**
Yes. Image URLs from the search card gallery are saved in the `images` array.

**Why did a search return no listings?**
The URL may be expired, blocked, or missing dates. Open it in a browser, confirm results appear, copy a fresh URL, and try again. Raise `requestTimeoutSecs` if the page is slow.

Vrbo rental listings extractor for people who need vacation rental search data they can sort, compare, and reuse, without copying cards one by one.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
