## 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 Scraper — Listings, Prices & Availability

Pull Airbnb listings for any city into a clean spreadsheet: name, price, rating,
review count, coordinates, amenities summary and photo URLs.

**It does not stop at 270 results.** A normal Airbnb search — and every scraper
that simply reads one — hits a hard wall at about 270 listings per query. This
Actor splits your search into narrower price bands behind the scenes and merges
them by listing ID, so you get the depth you actually paid for.

Measured on Lisbon, one run, no proxy:

| | Listings returned |
|---|---|
| A single Airbnb search (the ceiling) | 242 |
| This Actor, deep coverage on | **787** |

787 unique listings, zero duplicates, in 124 seconds and 62 requests.

### What you can do with it

- **Short-term rental market research** — track what comparable places in a city
  charge, by area and property type
- **Revenue management** — pull competitor pricing on your own dates and see
  where you sit in the range
- **Investment screening** — compare nightly rates and occupancy signals across
  neighbourhoods before buying
- **Travel aggregators** — build a price comparison feed for your own site
- **Academic and policy research** — measure listing density and pricing in a
  housing market

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Location** | City, region or country: `Lisbon, Portugal`, `Austin, Texas` |
| **Check-in / Check-out** | Optional. Prices become real quotes for those dates |
| **Adults / Children / Infants / Pets** | Changes which listings appear and what they cost |
| **Currency** | All prices come back in this currency |
| **Min / Max price** | Narrow the search yourself |
| **Room types** | Entire home, private room, shared room, hotel room |
| **Maximum listings** | How many rows you want |
| **Deep coverage** | On by default — this is what breaks the ~270 ceiling |

Minimal input:

```json
{
  "location": "Lisbon, Portugal",
  "maxResults": 500
}
```

With dates and filters:

```json
{
  "location": "Austin, Texas",
  "checkIn": "2026-11-10",
  "checkOut": "2026-11-15",
  "adults": 4,
  "currency": "USD",
  "roomTypes": ["entire_home"],
  "maxResults": 1000
}
```

### Go deeper on the listings you find

This Actor gives you the listings. Feed its `listing_id` column into any of
these to get what a search result cannot show you:

| Actor | What it adds |
|---|---|
| **Airbnb Listing Detail** | Every amenity, the six category ratings, house rules, review themes |
| **Airbnb Reviews** | Every review, full text, deduplicated |
| **Airbnb Availability** | 12 months of day-level availability and occupancy rates |
| **Airbnb Host Scraper** | Host profiles, grouped to reveal multi-property operators |

### Output

One row per listing:

```json
{
  "listing_id": "1042318907754392611",
  "url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1042318907754392611",
  "name": "Sunlit Alfama Loft with River View",
  "title": "Apartment in Alfama",
  "rating": 4.91,
  "reviews_count": 137,
  "price_total": 842,
  "price_total_text": "$842",
  "price_original": 968,
  "is_discounted": true,
  "price_qualifier": "for 5 nights",
  "price_breakdown": [
    {"label": "5 nights x $193", "amount": "$968", "amount_numeric": 968},
    {"label": "Long stay discount", "amount": "-$126", "amount_numeric": -126}
  ],
  "currency": "USD",
  "badges": ["Guest favorite"],
  "highlights": ["2 bedrooms", "3 beds", "1 bath"],
  "latitude": 38.7139,
  "longitude": -9.1279,
  "photos": ["https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/..."]
}
```

Export as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, or pull it straight from the API.

### Why the price breakdown matters

Most Airbnb scrapers hand you one number. Airbnb's displayed total is often a
discounted figure, and the nightly rate, long-stay discount and fees are folded
into it. This Actor returns the breakdown line by line, with signed numbers, so
a discount reads as `-126` and not as a mysterious gap between two totals.

### Reliability

- Retries with exponential backoff on network errors and rate limits
- Every row is validated before it is delivered — a run that returns empty or
  malformed rows **fails loudly instead of billing you for nothing**
- You are charged per validated listing, never for dropped rows

### Pricing

Pay per listing you receive. No subscription, no minimum.

### FAQ

**How many listings can I get for one city?**
Depends on how deep the city's inventory goes. On Lisbon, deep coverage returned
787 against a single-search ceiling of 242. Set *Maximum listings* to what you
need and the Actor stops there.

**Are prices per night or total?**
The `price_qualifier` field tells you which — `for 5 nights`, `per night`, and so
on. With check-in and check-out set, you get the real total for that stay.

**Why is `rating` empty on some listings?**
Those listings genuinely have no reviews yet. The field is null rather than
guessed.

**Does it need a proxy?**
Not for normal runs. The Advanced section accepts one for very large jobs.

**Is scraping Airbnb legal?**
This Actor collects publicly visible listing information only — no personal data,
no logged-in pages. You are responsible for how you use the data, including
compliance with GDPR and local rules.

## `checkOut` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD. Leave empty to get listings without date filtering.

## `adults` (type: `integer`):

Number of adults. Affects which listings are shown and the quoted price.

## `children` (type: `integer`):

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).
