Apartment List Email Scraper

Apartment List Email Scraper - structured rental leads from a matchmaking marketplace

The Apartment List Email Scraper extracts publicly indexed leasing contacts from Apartment List and writes them to an Apify dataset. It serves proptech vendors, multifamily marketing agencies and suppliers who sell into apartment communities.

Apartment List measured strong on identity and modest on volume. In a run against live Google, roughly ten parsed result blocks produced seven identities, seven resolvable profile URLs and five unique emails.

Read that as a quality-over-quantity result. Most rows the Apartment List Email Scraper returns arrive with an account name and a working profile link, which is what makes them useful in a CRM.

Five unique emails per ten blocks is the lowest count in the rental batch, so plan for a longer run or a second source if you need raw send volume rather than named accounts.

The usual pairing is to run the Apartment List Email Scraper for named accounts, then add the Apartments.com Email Scraper or the RentCafe Email Scraper in the same metro for extra addresses.

Who the Apartment List Email Scraper is for

Property management software vendors, leasing and tour-scheduling tools, tenant screening providers, and smart-lock or IoT installers all sell to the person behind the address on the listing.

Renovation and turn suppliers, landscaping firms and maintenance contractors use the Apartment List Email Scraper to build a qualified territory list. Insurance brokers selling landlord and multifamily policies work the same rows.

Leasing offices publish these addresses on purpose because inbound enquiries are the point of the listing. That makes this a B2B contact list rather than a consumer harvest - and it still deserves compliant outreach.

Sales operations teams also treat the Apartment List Email Scraper as an enrichment source, matching rows to an existing account list on property name and profile link.

What the Apartment List Email Scraper actually does

The Apartment List Email Scraper is a Google search-results parser with a domain-filtered email extractor attached. It never touches Apartment List directly.

1. Reads your input: keywords, location, email domains and limits.
2. Builds Google queries with the site: operator against apartmentlist.com, for example site:apartmentlist.com property manager "@gmail.com" "Orlando".
3. Fetches Google result pages through the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy using async aiohttp requests.
4. Parses each result block structurally by locating the <h3> title and then the smallest surrounding block, rather than depending on Google's CSS class names.
5. Extracts emails from the block text with a domain-filtered regular expression.
6. Deduplicates globally and pushes every lead to the Apify dataset immediately.

It does not log into Apartment List, does not use any Apartment List API, and does not open the Apartment List website. There is no browser, no JavaScript rendering, no authentication and no cookies.

Everything the Apartment List Email Scraper returns comes from publicly indexed Google search results: titles, snippets and site labels. If an address is not in that index, it cannot be found.

Key features of the Apartment List Email Scraper

Feature	What it means in practice
Query expansion	Base, quoted, intitle: and one variant per query modifier. Base queries run first.
Global deduplication	Every email is emitted once across all queries and all pages of the run.
Email normalisation	Case-insensitive; understands name [at] domain [dot] com, name (at) domain, name @ domain.com, domain .com, zero-width characters and the full-width ＠ sign.
Junk filter	Rejects placeholders such as email@, yourname@, test@, xxx@ and single-character locals.
Boundary-correct matching	@gmail.com will not match inside @gmail.company or @gmail.com.br.
Soft-wrap repair	Drops a hit that is only the tail of another email in the same result block.
Concurrency	An asyncio worker pool with a shared stop signal on maxEmails.
Retries	Up to 3 attempts per page with exponential backoff and a fresh proxy session per request.
Block detection	CAPTCHA, "unusual traffic" and consent pages are detected and retried, not counted as empty.
Re-queue	Blocked or failed queries are retried once at the end of the run.
Resumable state	Saved in the key-value store keyed by an input hash; throttled saves plus PERSIST_STATE, MIGRATING and ABORTING events.
Fallback parser	If Google's markup changes, the whole-page parser degrades to "emails without account details" instead of "no emails".
Run summary	Logs pages fetched, blocked pages, retries and emails per page.

Free Apify plans are capped at 100 emails per run. Paid plans are uncapped, subject to what Google has indexed for the Apartment List Email Scraper's query set.

How the Apartment List Email Scraper builds its queries

Query expansion exists because Google caps a single query at roughly 300 results. On a platform where email yield is already modest, leaving expansion on matters more than usual.

With expandQueries on, each keyword and email-domain pair is searched in several phrasings. The Apartment List Email Scraper runs the base query first, then the quoted variant, then an intitle: variant, then one variant per entry in queryModifiers.

The defaults are email, contact, leasing office, inquiries and property manager - the words that sit next to a published address on a rental listing.

Apartment List is a rentals-only domain, so the Apartment List Email Scraper needs no additional inurl: narrowing to exclude for-sale inventory. Every indexed page is already rental inventory.

Turning expansion off will noticeably shrink an already modest email count here. Leave it on unless you are deliberately running a cheap sample with the Apartment List Email Scraper.

Input settings for the Apartment List Email Scraper

Field	Type	Default	Meaning
keywords	array (required)	["property manager", "apartments for rent"]	Search terms describing the accounts you want
location	string	""	Optional location phrase added to every query
customDomains	array	["@gmail.com", "@yahoo.com"]	Only emails on these domains are kept; the @ is optional
maxEmails	integer 1-10000	20	Stop after this many unique emails
countryCode	string	""	Two-letter country for the search proxy (US, GB, DE...)
expandQueries	boolean	true	Search each keyword x domain pair in several phrasings
queryModifiers	array	["email", "contact", "leasing office", "inquiries", "property manager"]	Extra words combined with each keyword when expansion is on
maxPagesPerQuery	integer 1-50	30	Page cap per query
maxConcurrency	integer 1-20	5	Parallel queries

Location targeting in the Apartment List Email Scraper

location is the highest-leverage input in the schema. Multifamily selling is territorial, and a run with no location gives you a scattered list nobody can work.

Because email yield here is modest, start at metro level rather than neighbourhood level: Orlando FL, Jacksonville FL, Omaha NE, Des Moines IA, Albuquerque NM.

Move to a submarket only once a metro run shows healthy volume: Winter Park Orlando, Riverside Jacksonville, Benson Omaha, Nob Hill Albuquerque. Narrowing too early is the most common cause of a thin run.

Run one location per run. The value is appended verbatim to every query, so Orlando OR Tampa becomes a literal phrase and usually returns less rather than more.

Set countryCode: "US" so the proxy resolves from a US exit, and include the state abbreviation for ambiguous names - Springfield MO and Springfield IL are different rental markets.

If a location comes back thin, widen one step at a time - suburb, metro, state - and raise maxPagesPerQuery before concluding the Apartment List Email Scraper is misconfigured.

Choosing keywords and email domains

Role-shaped keywords tend to work well on a platform with account-style pages. Try property manager, community manager, leasing office, management company and apartment community.

customDomains drives volume more than any other field, and on this platform that lever matters most. Free-mail domains are the default because smaller operators genuinely publish @gmail.com and @yahoo.com addresses.

Widen with @outlook.com and @hotmail.com when a run looks thin. The Apartment List Email Scraper keeps only addresses ending in a domain you listed, so a short domain list produces a short dataset.

Output data from the Apartment List Email Scraper

Every dataset item produced by the Apartment List Email Scraper carries all fourteen fields below.

Field	Meaning
network	Platform name
keyword	The keyword that produced the lead
query	The exact Google query used
title	Raw result title
accountName	Account label Google prints
fullName	Display name parsed from a profile-style title; empty for listing-style titles
username	URL-safe handle when the platform exposes one; otherwise null
profileUrl	Canonical account URL when a handle is known; otherwise empty
url	Direct platform link when exposed, else the profile URL
description	Bio or snippet text, cleaned of labels and counters
email	Lower-cased email address
emailDomain	The matched domain, for example @gmail.com
possiblyTruncated	true when Google's snippet ellipsis touched the email
foundAt	ISO 8601 UTC timestamp

Profile URLs follow the shape https://www.apartmentlist.com/{username}. Most rows from the Apartment List Email Scraper carry one, which is why this Actor suits account-based workflows.

Example runs with the Apartment List Email Scraper

A metro run for a tenant screening provider prospecting Orlando:

{
  "keywords": ["property manager", "community manager"],
  "location": "Orlando FL",
  "customDomains": ["@gmail.com", "@yahoo.com", "@outlook.com"],
  "maxEmails": 150,
  "countryCode": "US",
  "expandQueries": true,
  "queryModifiers": ["email", "contact", "leasing office", "inquiries", "property manager"],
  "maxPagesPerQuery": 30,
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}

Two representative dataset rows:

[
  {
    "network": "Apartment List",
    "keyword": "property manager",
    "query": "site:apartmentlist.com property manager \"@gmail.com\" \"Orlando FL\"",
    "title": "Lakeview Terrace Apartments - Orlando, FL | Apartment List",
    "accountName": "Lakeview Terrace Apartments",
    "fullName": "Lakeview Terrace Apartments",
    "username": "lakeview-terrace-orlando-fl",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.apartmentlist.com/lakeview-terrace-orlando-fl",
    "url": "https://www.apartmentlist.com/lakeview-terrace-orlando-fl",
    "description": "On-site property manager. Leasing enquiries: lakeviewterracepm@gmail.com",
    "email": "lakeviewterracepm@gmail.com",
    "emailDomain": "@gmail.com",
    "possiblyTruncated": false,
    "foundAt": "2026-08-31T15:02:44Z"
  },
  {
    "network": "Apartment List",
    "keyword": "community manager",
    "query": "site:apartmentlist.com community manager contact \"@outlook.com\" \"Orlando FL\"",
    "title": "Winter Park Commons - Apartments for Rent | Apartment List",
    "accountName": "Winter Park Commons",
    "fullName": "Winter Park Commons",
    "username": "winter-park-commons-orlando-fl",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.apartmentlist.com/winter-park-commons-orlando-fl",
    "url": "https://www.apartmentlist.com/winter-park-commons-orlando-fl",
    "description": "Community manager contact: winterparkcommons@outlook.com. Tours by appointment.",
    "email": "winterparkcommons@outlook.com",
    "emailDomain": "@outlook.com",
    "possiblyTruncated": false,
    "foundAt": "2026-08-31T15:06:19Z"
  }
]

Note the third domain in that input. Adding @outlook.com is the cheapest way to raise the Apartment List Email Scraper's email count without sacrificing the identity data you came for.

For a broader sweep, move location to a state and raise maxEmails. Leave maxConcurrency at 5 unless you have a reason to change it; the Apartment List Email Scraper already runs its queries in parallel.

Responsible use, GDPR, CAN-SPAM and Fair Housing

Everything the Apartment List Email Scraper collects is already published on public pages and indexed by Google. That does not move your obligations as the sender onto anyone else.

Under GDPR and similar regimes, have a lawful basis for processing business contact data, honour deletion and objection requests, and say in your first message where you found the address. Under CAN-SPAM, use accurate headers and subject lines, disclose your identity and postal address, and honour opt-outs promptly.

Fair Housing is genuinely relevant to US rental outreach. Keep messaging focused on your product and avoid anything that could be read as steering or as encouraging discrimination based on a protected characteristic.

None of this is legal advice. Check your campaign against your own jurisdiction's rules, and verify addresses before you send at volume. The Apartment List Email Scraper surfaces candidates; the sending decision stays with you.

Limitations of the Apartment List Email Scraper

• Email volume is the lowest in this rental batch: five unique emails per ten parsed blocks in testing. Budget a longer run or add a second source.
• It only finds contacts whose email is publicly visible in Google's index. Addresses behind a contact form or rendered in an image will not be found.
• Google caps a single query at roughly 300 results. Query expansion works around that ceiling; it does not remove it.
• username and profileUrl are only populated when the platform exposes a handle in Google's result. Apartment List is strong here, but some rows still return username: null and an empty profileUrl. That is a Google limitation, not a defect.
• possiblyTruncated: true means Google's snippet ellipsis touched the email. Verify those rows before sending.
• The Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy is required. The Apartment List Email Scraper cannot run without Apify proxy credentials.
• Free Apify plans stop at 100 emails per run; paid plans are uncapped.
• Results vary with keywords, domains and location. No volume is guaranteed, and the Apartment List Email Scraper is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apartment List.

Apartment List Email Scraper FAQ

How many results should I expect from the Apartment List Email Scraper?

In a measured run against live Google, roughly ten parsed result blocks produced seven identities, seven profile URLs and five unique emails. Identity coverage is strong; email volume is the lowest of the rental batch. Counts vary with location, keywords and domain filter.

How do I raise the email count?

Add domains. Putting @outlook.com and @hotmail.com into customDomains is the single most effective change, followed by widening location and raising maxPagesPerQuery.

Does the Apartment List Email Scraper log into Apartment List?

No. It reads Google search results through the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy. No login, no API key, no browser, no cookies.

Which input matters most?

location. A metro phrase does more for list quality than any other setting in the Apartment List Email Scraper, and starting at metro level protects an already modest yield.

Can I target corporate domains instead of free-mail?

Yes. Replace customDomains with the domains you want; only addresses ending in one of them are kept.

What does possiblyTruncated mean?

Google cut the snippet near the email, so the address may be incomplete. Filter or verify those rows before a send.

Why does the Apartment List Email Scraper run so many queries?

Google caps a single query at about 300 results, so expansion spreads the search across base, quoted, intitle: and modifier variants to reach past that ceiling.

Can I run the Apartment List Email Scraper outside Apify?

No. The GOOGLE_SERP proxy is a required dependency and needs Apify proxy credentials.

Will I get duplicate addresses?

No. Deduplication is global across every query and page, so each unique email appears once per run.

Is 100 emails a hard cap?

Only on free plans. Paid plans are uncapped, though on this platform the practical ceiling is what Google has indexed rather than the plan limit.

Which sibling Actors pair well with this one?

Redfin Rentals Email Scraper for raw email volume and ApartmentFinder Email Scraper for more of the same account-shaped rows.

Does a run resume after a migration?

Yes. State is stored in the key-value store keyed by a hash of your input, with saves on PERSIST_STATE, MIGRATING and ABORTING.
