Zumper Scraper — US Apartments & Houses for Rent

Scrape rental listings from Zumper (zumper.com), one of the largest US apartment and house rental marketplaces. Give it a city or a Zumper search URL and get back a clean, structured dataset of every listing on the map — rent price range, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, address, geo-coordinates, building name, and the listing URL. HTTP-only and fast: no browser, no login, no cookies.

What you get

One record per rental listing (building/property), with these fields:

Field	Description
buildingName	Property / building name (e.g. "Camden Stoneleigh")
address, city, state, zipcode	Street address and location
neighborhood	Neighborhood name when Zumper provides it
latitude, longitude	Map coordinates
minPrice, maxPrice	Monthly rent range in USD across all floorplans
minBedrooms, maxBedrooms	Bedroom range (0 = studio)
minBathrooms, maxBathrooms	Bathroom range
minSquareFeet, maxSquareFeet	Square-footage range when available
floorplanCount	Number of distinct floorplans in the building
isHouse	true for houses/single-family, false for apartment buildings
hasFees	Whether Zumper flags application/other fees
imageCount, imageIds	Photo count and raw Zumper image IDs
featureCodes	Zumper amenity/feature codes
listedAt, modifiedAt	ISO 8601 timestamps
propertyUrl	Absolute Zumper listing URL (photos, floorplans, contact)
listingId, buildingId, citySlug	Stable identifiers

When to use it

• Renters & relocation — pull every current listing in a city into a spreadsheet and sort by price, beds, or location.
• PropTech & real-estate analysts — track rent ranges, inventory counts, and new listings across markets.
• Lead generation — build lists of rental buildings and property managers by city.
• AI agents (MCP) — a single, structured tool call: city in, JSON rentals out.

Not for: individual property deep-dives with full amenity text (use the propertyUrl), or non-US markets (Zumper is US-focused).

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

• Actor start — $0.00005 per run.
• Listing scraped — $0.004 per rental listing returned.

A 200-listing run costs about $0.80. Billing is hard-capped at your Max listings value, and the run logs the maximum possible cost before it charges anything.

Input

Input	Description
location	US city as "Austin, TX" (or a Zumper slug like austin-tx).
startUrls	One or more Zumper search URLs (e.g. https://www.zumper.com/apartments-for-rent/chicago-il). Merged with location.
maxResults	Cost cap / max listings (default 200, up to 20000).
minPrice, maxPrice	Monthly-rent band filter (USD).
minBedrooms, maxBedrooms	Bedroom-count filter.
proxyConfiguration	Defaults to Apify datacenter US (cheapest; Zumper's API allows it).

Example input

{
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "maxResults": 500,
  "minPrice": 1200,
  "maxPrice": 3000,
  "minBedrooms": 1
}

Multiple cities

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.zumper.com/apartments-for-rent/chicago-il",
    "https://www.zumper.com/apartments-for-rent/miami-fl"
  ],
  "maxResults": 1000
}

How it works

1. Your location/URL is resolved to a Zumper city slug (austin-tx).
2. The actor fetches the city's GeoJSON boundary and reduces it to a bounding box.
3. It queries Zumper's internal maplist/pins API for that box. Zumper caps each response at 200 listings, and returns a matching total for the box.
4. When a box holds more than 200 listings, the actor quadtree-splits it into four sub-boxes and recurses — so it paginates far past the 200-per-view cap and covers the whole city.
5. Listings are deduped by ID, filtered client-side (price/beds), and streamed to the dataset until maxResults is reached.

Usage from the API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~zumper-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"location":"Austin, TX","maxResults":300}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("khadinakbar/zumper-scraper").call(
    run_input={"location": "Austin, TX", "maxResults": 300}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["buildingName"], item["minPrice"], item["maxPrice"])

MCP / AI agents

This actor is MCP-ready and exposed as apify--zumper-scraper in the Apify MCP server. It takes a narrow input (city or URL) and returns a compact, flat JSON record per listing — ideal for tool use by Claude, GPT, and other agents.

FAQ

Does it need a login or cookies? No. It uses Zumper's public internal API over plain HTTP.

Why is a big city capped at my Max listings? To control cost. Raise maxResults to go deeper; map-tiling will paginate automatically.

Are the numbers exact? Rent, beds, baths, and sqft are reported as the ranges Zumper publishes across a building's floorplans. Open the propertyUrl for per-unit detail.
