RentCafe Scraper — US Apartments, Floor Plans, Prices & Contacts

Extract structured US apartment data from RentCafe.com at scale. Give the actor a RentCafe search URL (or just a city) and it returns one clean row per property: name, full address, geo-coordinates, phone, rent range, per-floor-plan pricing, the complete amenity list, the management company, the image gallery, and the property's own website — with optional contact-email enrichment.

Why use this RentCafe Scraper

Most RentCafe scrapers hand you a thin listing row — a name and a price. This one opens each property page and returns the data that actually drives rental research and lead generation: every floor plan with beds, baths, square footage and its own rent range, the full amenity list, the management company, and the property's own website (which powers optional email discovery). No account, no cookies, no browser automation — a single search URL is enough.

• One row per property, analyst-ready — no padding rows.
• Floor-plan-level pricing, not just a headline range.
• Management company + property website + phone for outreach.
• Optional email enrichment from the property's own site.
• Search by URL or by plain location ("Austin, TX").

Overview

RentCafe (by Yardi) powers apartment marketing sites for thousands of US multifamily communities. This actor pulls RentCafe listing and property data straight from RentCafe's own structured data channel and emits a normalized record per property. It resolves your location, pages through every matching property, deduplicates them, and (optionally) fetches each property's full detail — floor plans, amenities, pet policies and more.

Supported inputs

You provide	Example
A RentCafe listing/search URL	https://www.rentcafe.com/apartments-for-rent/us/az/phoenix/
A location keyword	Austin, TX · az/phoenix

Other RentCafe verticals work too: houses-for-rent, townhomes-for-rent, condos-for-rent, senior-living, student-housing and storage-unit listing URLs.

Use cases

• Build a US rental market dataset for pricing and availability analysis.
• Monitor rent ranges and floor-plan availability across a city over time.
• Generate leads: management company, phone, property website and email.
• Compare amenities and floor-plan mixes across competing communities.
• Feed apartment inventory into a search, map or comparison product.

How it works

1. You supply a RentCafe listing URL or a location ("Austin, TX").
2. The actor resolves it to a search area and pages through every matching property.
3. For each property it pulls the full detail — floor plans (with live unit availability and rent specials), amenities, pet policies, management company and the property's own website.
4. Optionally, it reads that website for contact emails, phones and social links.
5. Each property is written to the dataset as one clean row.

FAQ

Do I need a RentCafe account or cookies? No. Public listing and property pages only.

Will every property have emails? No. Emails come from the property's own website; many communities route contact through a form and expose no address. emails is present only when one is found.

How does pagination work? The actor reads the total result count for your area and pages through all of it, up to your maxItems.

Does it work outside Phoenix? Yes — any RentCafe location. Pass a listing URL for the city/state you want, or a search keyword.

Can I pass a single property URL? Use a listing/search URL or a location; the actor collects every property in that area. A location keyword like "Austin, TX" works too.
