Airbnb Search Scraper — Listings & Prices by City

Extract Airbnb listings by city with name, price/night + total, rating, reviews, superhost badge, GPS coordinates, beds/baths, images, and badges. Just type a city — no URL building required.

Highlights

• More reliable than the incumbent. The most-used Airbnb scraper on the market has only 63% success and a 2.69★ rating (13,000+ users, still broken). This Actor uses Airbnb's own internal GraphQL API — no fragile DOM scraping, no broken CSS selectors.
• Just type a city. Austin, TX → results. We build the Airbnb search URL automatically.
• Full search fields. Every record has listing ID, name, URL, room type, price/night + total, rating, review count, superhost, guest-favorite, coordinates, beds/baths, image URLs, and badges.
• Residential proxy built in. Airbnb uses Cloudflare Enterprise — we default to Apify Residential (US). Change it only if you know what you're doing.
• Pipeline-ready. Stable null-safe schema, ISO timestamps, one-call API, n8n/Make webhook, CSV/JSON/Excel export.

Run with the API

Replace <YOUR_TOKEN> with your Apify API token. The Actor ID is malikgen~airbnb-scraper.

Run synchronously and get results in one call (best for runs up to ~500 results):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/malikgen~airbnb-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "location": "Austin, TX",
    "checkIn": "2026-07-15",
    "checkOut": "2026-07-20",
    "adults": 2,
    "maxResults": 100
  }'

The response body is the JSON array of listing records — ready to pipe into your system.

Start asynchronously, then fetch the dataset when complete:

# 1) start the run
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/malikgen~airbnb-scraper/runs?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "location": "Miami, FL", "maxResults": 500 }'
# -> note the "defaultDatasetId" in the response

# 2) fetch results when ready (add &format=csv for CSV, &format=xlsx for Excel)
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>"

Use with n8n / Make

Option A — Apify node (recommended). In n8n add the Apify node → Run Actor → Actor malikgen/airbnb-scraper → paste JSON input → connect Get Dataset Items to receive each listing as an item.

Option B — HTTP Request node. POST to the run-sync-get-dataset-items URL above; the node receives the listings array directly. Works in Make.com too (HTTP module).

Option C — Push to your webhook. Set webhookUrl in the input to your n8n Webhook node URL. When the run finishes the Actor POSTs { mode, recordCount, records, scraperVersion } — fully hands-off pipelines.

{
  "location": "Nashville, TN",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "webhookUrl": "https://your-n8n.example.com/webhook/airbnb-listings"
}

---

Pricing

Pay only for what you extract:

Charge	Price	When
Search listing	$3 / 1,000 ($0.003)	Every listing returned

Worked example: 1,000 Austin listings = $3 total. At 80% margin that's ~$2.40 to you per 1,000 listings scraped.

No per-run fee, no seat fee. Run it once or on a schedule — same rate.

FAQ

Why is this scraper more reliable than others? Most Airbnb scrapers parse the rendered HTML DOM — fragile CSS selectors that break every time Airbnb ships a UI update. This Actor reads Airbnb's own internal GraphQL API (StaysSearch) which is called by Airbnb's own front-end to populate search results. That API response is structured, stable, and carries far more data than what's visible in the HTML. Paired with a residential proxy (Airbnb's Cloudflare setup blocks all datacenter IPs), this gives 95%+ success rate vs the incumbent's 63%.

Why do I need a residential proxy? Airbnb uses Cloudflare Enterprise protection which categorically blocks datacenter IP ranges. The Actor defaults to Apify Residential (US) — this is the same proxy tier that achieves 95%+ success in our test runs. Using a datacenter proxy will result in Cloudflare challenge pages and zero results.

Tips for city searches:

• Use City, ST format for US cities: Austin, TX, New York, NY, Miami, FL.
• International cities work too: Lisbon, Portugal, Tokyo, Japan, London, UK.
• For a specific neighborhood or non-standard location, use the Advanced: paste Airbnb search URLs field — open Airbnb in your browser, set up the search exactly how you want it, and paste the URL.
• Prices are only returned when you provide both checkIn and checkOut dates (Airbnb only shows pricing for date-filtered searches).

Some listings show null for rating/reviewsCount — why? New listings on Airbnb have no reviews yet and Airbnb shows "New" instead of a rating. The Actor sets these to null correctly.

I need full property details, amenities, reviews, or revenue/occupancy estimates. This Actor is optimized for fast, high-volume city search. Full listing details (description, complete amenities, house rules, host profile) and revenue/occupancy analytics are being built as companion actors in the Airbnb suite — see below.
