AppFolio Scraper — US Rentals + Office Phone from Any PM Site

Turn any AppFolio listings URL into structured vacancies — including the office phone the index page hides. Paste https://{tenant}.appfolio.com/listings (or a detail URL, or a custom domain that redirects there) and get one row per unit: rent, beds, baths, address, lat/lng, photos, apply link, office name, and phone.

Why Use This Scraper?

• URL-in, live scrape. You point it at a manager's own AppFolio site. It is not a weekly snapshot of "all AppFolio."
• Office phone on every detail. The listings index has no phone. The detail sidebar does (ATLAS PROPERTY GROUP + (415) 216-4945 in the smoke test).
• Map coordinates. Lat/lng come from the listings page googleMap.markers JSON, not guessed from the address.
• Apply + showing URLs. Ready-to-use links onto that manager's application and showing forms.
• No login, no browser. Cheerio HTTP only. Proxy optional.

Overview

One dataset row per vacancy on the AppFolio site you pasted. Typical use: a lead-gen or inventory job that already has a list of property-manager websites. There is no national "search by city" input — AppFolio does not publish a public directory of tenant hosts. Filter on the manager's site, copy the URL.

Supported Inputs

Input	What it is	Example
Listings index	That PM's current vacancies	https://apg.appfolio.com/listings
Detail URL	A single unit	https://apg.appfolio.com/listings/detail/e4afc96a-ac2d-499b-80d8-729e87091806
Custom domain	Marketing site that 302s onto AppFolio	https://www.examplepm.com/listings/
startUrl	Single-URL convenience field	same as one startUrls item

Unsupported: AppFolio Property Manager (the logged-in SaaS), tenant portals, and "all AppFolio in California" with no URL. You must have a listings URL.

Seed list: this repo ships seeds/start-urls.json — ~2,760 {tenant}.appfolio.com/listings URLs mined from Common Crawl and live-checked. Paste a subset into startUrls when you want multi-PM coverage without hunting hosts yourself.

Use Cases

Audience	What they get
Rental lead-gen	Office phone + apply URL for the managers whose sites you already know
PropTech / aggregators	Live inventory from PM sites that never hit Zillow
Market researchers	Asking rents, beds, availability on a named manager
Agencies	A CRM-ready dump of one competitor's vacancies

How It Works

1. Paste one or more {tenant}.appfolio.com/listings URLs.
2. The actor reads every vacancy card and the map-marker JSON (rent, beds, address, photo, lat/lng).
3. With scrapeDetails on (default), it opens each detail page for office name, phone, full description, apply/showing URLs, and extra photos.
4. It stops at maxItems. One row per vacancy.

Input Configuration

Field	Type	Default	What it does
startUrls	string list	sample SF listings URL	AppFolio listings or detail URLs
startUrl	string	empty	Same, for a single URL
maxItems	integer	100	Cap on saved listings (free accounts hard-capped at 100)
scrapeDetails	boolean	true	Visit detail pages for phone / office name
proxy	proxy object	off	Optional. Direct fetch worked in recon.

Example — one manager, 25 listings

{
  "startUrls": ["https://apg.appfolio.com/listings"],
  "maxItems": 25
}

Example — index only, no phones (faster)

{
  "startUrls": ["https://aaaprop.appfolio.com/listings"],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "scrapeDetails": false
}

Output Overview

Each row is one vacancy. Index fields (rent, beds, address, coordinates, photo) are always present when the card parsed. Phone and office name require scrapeDetails: true.

AppFolio listing sites do not publish a public email on the vacancy pages we scrape. Phone is on the detail sidebar. Email is a gap vs Buildium's XML feed.

FAQ

Can I scrape all AppFolio listings in a city without URLs? Not via AppFolio search — there is none. Use seeds/start-urls.json (~2.7k live-checked tenant listings URLs from Common Crawl) and filter yourself, or ask for a custom geo-filtered seed. CRT.sh does not enumerate tenants (wildcard cert).

Is this the same as housingfeed/appfolio-scraper? No. That actor reads a pre-built database and filters by state/city. This actor live-scrapes the URL you give it, including phone.

Why is email empty? It is not on the public listings/detail HTML. Do not expect it.

Do I need a proxy? Recon loaded three tenants with a plain GET. Turn proxy on if you hit blocks.
