How many results can you scrape with Apartments.com Rental Scraper?

Apartments.com Rental Scraper can extract hundreds to thousands of apartment communities per run on paid Apify plans (up to 30 communities per run on the Free plan). Keep these tips in mind when scraping major rental markets:

• Partition large cities by neighborhood or ZIP code — Apartments.com paginates search results up to 28 pages (~700 communities per search URL). To capture every apartment building across a major metro (like Chicago, Dallas, or Atlanta), pass multiple neighborhood or ZIP-code search URLs in startUrls.
• Use Apartments.com URL slug filters — apply any bedroom (2-bedrooms), rent ceiling (under-2500), pet policy (pet-friendly-dog), or amenity filter directly on Apartments.com and paste the resulting URL into startUrls.
• Want single-family rentals and Rent Zestimates too? — combine your multifamily community data with our Zillow Property Search Scraper to analyze single-family home and condo rentals in the same ZIP code.
