## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## Airbnb Host Scraper — Profiles & Multi-Property Operators

Name a city, or pass listing URLs or IDs, and get back the host behind each one — and,
grouped across your whole input, which hosts are running several properties.

That grouping is the point. A list of listings tells you about inventory. A list
of *hosts* tells you who the operators are.

**One listing is enough to find an eleven-property operator.** The Actor opens
each host's profile and reads their entire managed portfolio, so you are not
limited to whatever listings you happened to feed in.

Measured on Lisbon: 8 listings in, 5 multi-property operators out — the largest
managing 12 properties with 3,472 reviews between them.

### What you get

```json
{
  "host_id": "697089575",
  "host_name": "Jardim Do Castelo",
  "host_url": "https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/697089575",
  "is_superhost": true,
  "is_verified": true,
  "is_airbnb_managed": false,
  "rating_average": 4.81,
  "rating_count": 293,
  "years_hosting": 1,
  "months_hosting": 3,
  "response_rate": "100%",
  "response_time": "within an hour",
  "about": "We are a small family business in Lisbon...",
  "listings_found": 2,
  "is_multi_property": true,
  "listings": [
    {"listing_id": "1427417218567220620", "listing_url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1427417218567220620"},
    {"listing_id": "1490660117561664807", "listing_url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1490660117561664807"}
  ]
}
```

### Use it for

- **Lead generation for property-management software, cleaning services,
  insurance, photography** — filter to `is_multi_property` and you have a list of
  professional operators rather than one-off hosts
- **Market structure research** — what share of a city's listings belong to
  multi-property operators
- **Competitive analysis** — who the serious players in your market are, how long
  they have been hosting, how well they are rated

### How to find the operators

1. Run **Airbnb Scraper** on a city
2. Paste its `listing_id` column in here
3. Turn on *Only hosts with more than one property*

The more listings you feed it, the more portfolios it can connect. A host with
14,000 reviews and eight properties is a business, not a spare room.

### Two ways to use it

**Just name a city.** Leave *Airbnb listings* empty, type a location, and the
Actor finds the listings itself — nothing to look up first.

```json
{"location": "Lisbon, Portugal", "maxListings": 50}
```

**Or pass listings you already have.** Paste room URLs or IDs, for example the
`listing_id` column from **Airbnb Scraper**.

```json
{"listings": ["https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/29754402", "1427417218567220620"]}
```

### Input

```json
{
  "listings": ["https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/29754402", "1427417218567220620"],
  "groupByHost": true,
  "onlyMultiProperty": false,
  "onlySuperhosts": false
}
```

Turn *Group by host* off for one row per listing instead.

### Reliability

- Retries with exponential backoff on network errors
- A listing whose host cannot be read is reported and **never charged**
- If every listing fails, the run fails loudly instead of returning an empty
  dataset

### Pricing

Pay per host profile returned.

### FAQ

**Does `listings_found` mean all the host's listings?**
Yes, when *Fetch each host's full portfolio* is on: the Actor opens the host's
profile and reads Airbnb's own total. One listing in your input is enough to
discover a host running eleven.

**Why is `listings_detailed` sometimes lower than `listings_found`?**
Airbnb's profile page shows details for at most 10 properties while still
reporting the true total. `listings_found` is the real portfolio size;
`listings_detailed` is how many came with full details attached.

**Does this collect personal data?**
It collects what Airbnb publishes on the listing page: host display name, public
profile text, photo, and public statistics. No emails, no phone numbers. If you
process this for EU residents, GDPR applies to you as the controller — including
having a lawful basis for direct outreach.

# Actor input Schema

## `listings` (type: `array`):

Optional. Airbnb room URLs or listing IDs. Leave this empty to search by location instead — anything here takes priority over the location below.

## `location` (type: `string`):

City, region or country — for example 'Lisbon, Portugal' or 'Austin, Texas'. Used when the listings field above is empty.

## `maxListings` (type: `integer`):

How many listings to read hosts from when searching by location. More listings means more host portfolios get connected.

## `groupByHost` (type: `boolean`):

On: one row per host, with every listing of theirs found in your input. Off: one row per listing.

## `onlyMultiProperty` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only hosts who appear on several of your listings — the professional operators.

## `onlySuperhosts` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only hosts Airbnb has awarded Superhost status.

## `currency` (type: `string`):

Currency used when loading the listing pages.

## `proxyUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only needed for very large batches.

## `fetchFullPortfolio` (type: `boolean`):

Opens each host's profile to count every property they manage — not just the ones in your input. This is what separates operators from one-off hosts. Costs one extra request per host.

## `minProperties` (type: `integer`):

Only keep hosts managing at least this many properties. Set to 3 or more to get professional operators only.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "location": "Lisbon, Portugal",
  "maxListings": 100,
  "groupByHost": true,
  "onlyMultiProperty": false,
  "onlySuperhosts": false,
  "currency": "USD",
  "fetchFullPortfolio": true,
  "minProperties": 1
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Host profiles with their managed property portfolios.

## `csv` (type: `string`):

The same rows as a spreadsheet-ready CSV download.

## `consoleUrl` (type: `string`):

Browse and filter the results in the Console.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "location": "Lisbon, Portugal"
}' |
apify call nobin2k/airbnb-hosts --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nobin2k/airbnb-hosts"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
