Use it as an Apartments.com API alternative when you need repeatable exports, scheduled rent monitoring, or integration-ready datasets without browsing the site page by page. You can mix property detail URLs and listing (search) URLs in the same run.

Use cases

• Rent monitoring — track asking rents, concessions, and availability across neighborhoods over time.
• Market research — compare amenities, fees, unit mix, and Walk Score across competing communities.
• Lead lists for proptech and services — build datasets of communities, management contacts, and locations.
• Investment analysis — pull rent ranges, square footage, and building details for underwriting models.
• Relocation and search tools — power apartment-finder apps with structured listing, school, and transit data.
• Reputation analysis — aggregate resident reviews and ratings for portfolio benchmarking.

How it works

1. Each search term is turned into an Apartments.com location URL; each start URL is classified as a listing (search) page or a property page.
2. Listing pages are paginated, and every property card on them is queued for a full detail fetch.
3. Property pages are parsed for structured fields from the page's embedded data and on-page sections.
4. Optional sections (reviews, visuals, interior amenities, Walk Score) are attached only when the matching toggle is on.
5. Results stream to the dataset as they are scraped; run state is saved so restarts resume where they left off.

How much does it cost to scrape Apartments.com?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for the queries it runs and the data it returns. Apify account credits may cover small test runs.

Event	What it is	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
listing-page-query	One listing/search results page scraped	$6.99 / 1k	$6.49 / 1k	$5.99 / 1k	$5.49 / 1k
property-detail-query	One property page you provide directly as a start URL	$4.99 / 1k	$4.49 / 1k	$3.99 / 1k	$3.49 / 1k
dataset-item	Each property saved, after the first 20 per listing query	$0.49 / 1k	$0.39 / 1k	$0.39 / 1k	$0.39 / 1k
review	Fetching reviews for a property (when includeReviews is on)	$0.19 / 1k	$0.14 / 1k	$0.14 / 1k	$0.14 / 1k
visual	Fetching images and virtual tours (when includeVisuals is on)	$0.19 / 1k	$0.14 / 1k	$0.14 / 1k	$0.14 / 1k
interior-amenities	Fetching interior amenities (when includeInteriorAmenities is on)	$0.10 / 1k	$0.05 / 1k	$0.05 / 1k	$0.05 / 1k
walk-score	Fetching Walk/Transit/Bike score (when includeWalkScore is on)	$0.10 / 1k	$0.05 / 1k	$0.05 / 1k	$0.05 / 1k

Example: scraping one Brooklyn search page and returning 40 properties with all toggles on costs roughly $6.99 (listing page) + $0.01 (20 chargeable dataset items) + ~$0.02 (reviews + visuals + interior + walk score for 40 properties) ≈ $7.02 on the Free tier, before account credits.

FAQ

Can I mix property URLs and search URLs in one run? Yes. Put any combination of Apartments.com listing (search) URLs and property detail URLs into startUrls, and optionally add a search term as well.

How do I scrape one specific property? Copy the property page URL from Apartments.com and paste it into startUrls. It is billed as a property-detail-query.

How do I apply filters like price or pet policy? Set the filters on the Apartments.com website, then copy the filtered results URL from your browser and paste it into startUrls.

Why are some fields empty? Listings vary. Single-family rentals and smaller buildings often have no fees, floor plan units, reviews, or Walk Score. The actor returns whatever the property page publishes.

Do the toggles change the cost? Yes. includeReviews, includeVisuals, includeInteriorAmenities, and includeWalkScore each add a small per-property event only for properties where that data is returned.

Why does a run take a while? Apartments.com has strong anti-bot protection, so each page is fetched through the Apify Proxy Unblocker and retried until it succeeds. Expect roughly one to two minutes per property. For large runs, raise the Actor's run timeout in the run options.

Can I schedule recurring runs? Yes. Use Apify scheduling to run hourly, daily, weekly, or on a custom interval.

Can I connect the results to other tools? Yes. Use the Apify API, dataset webhooks, or Apify integrations to push data to Google Sheets, databases, CRMs, Make, Zapier, or n8n.

Where do I report an issue? Open a ticket on the actor's Issues tab with the input you used and an example URL.
