## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### What does Zumper Scraper do?

Zumper Scraper reads Zumper's own location search page and returns the building/listing title, address, rent price range, beds/baths range, square footage range, amenity tags, pet policy, rating, agent/brokerage and image for each result. Give it a "city-state" location, or a full search URL with your own filters already applied.

### Why use Zumper Scraper?

- Covers Zumper, a major US apartment-rental marketplace, distinct from the for-sale real estate portals.
- Returns the full price RANGE across a building's floorplans, not just a single rent figure.
- Captures amenity and building-amenity tags directly, useful for filtering by what matters to renters.
- Includes pet policy and Zumper's own rating alongside every listing.
- No account or API key.

### What makes this different

Most rental scrapers return a single unit's price. This Actor captures the full min/max price, bed, bath and square-footage range for each building directly from Zumper's own data, giving a complete picture of a property's available floorplans in one row.

### Who can use the Zumper Scraper and how?

- **Apartment hunters:** Monitor a specific city or zip code for new rental listings matching their budget.
- **Property managers and landlords:** Track competitor rent pricing and amenities by neighborhood.
- **Relocation and rental researchers:** Study rent price distributions and amenity trends by market.
- **Lead generation:** Collect building agent and brokerage contact details by city.

### How it works

![Zumper Scraper workflow: your input, collection, output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/kE36venAoVchGsE6b/records/zumper-scraper--how-it-works.png)

1. **Your input** — give it a "city-state" location, or paste a full Zumper search URL with your own filters
2. **The Actor collects it** — the Actor reads that location's own search-results page directly
3. **Your output** — you get one row per building/listing, with price range, specs and amenities

### Usage Examples

#### Search by city

```json
{
  "location": "austin-tx",
  "maxItems": 38
}
```

#### Filtered search URL

```json
{
  "location": "https://www.zumper.com/apartments-for-rent/austin-tx?bedrooms=2",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

### Tips for Best Results

- Apply your filters directly on zumper.com first, then copy that URL in for the most control.
- Re-run on a schedule with the same location to catch new listings.
- Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

### Known Limitations

- Pulls from a single search-results page per run, not every page of a very large market.
- Price/bed/bath/sqft fields are ranges across a building's floorplans, not a single unit's exact figures.

### Integrations

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or from a webhook. Send results straight to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack or your own database with Apify's built-in integrations.

### Export Formats

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS from the **Output** tab or the API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Does it need a Zumper account?

No. The Actor reads Zumper's public search pages and needs no account or key.

#### Can I use my own filters?

Yes - build the search on zumper.com with whatever filters you want, then paste that exact URL in.

#### How many results can I get?

Up to 200 per run from a single location's search-results page.

#### Do I need an account or login?

No. The Actor reads public data and needs no account or key.

#### Am I charged for failed runs or empty results?

You are only charged for results that are actually written to the dataset.

#### Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Create a Task with your input and add a schedule in Apify Console. With monitor mode on, each scheduled run returns only what changed since the previous one.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
