💰 How much does it cost to scrape Caring.com?

The Actor uses transparent pay-per-result pricing — no startup fees:

Event	Price	What you get
Facility listing	$0.005	Listing record: name, address, phone, rating, starting price, care types, photos
Facility detail	$0.02	Full profile: everything above plus all reviews, price range, amenities, room types, FAQs, awards

Examples: 50 facility listings ≈ $0.25 · 50 fully-detailed facilities ≈ $1.00 · all ~800 assisted living listings in Los Angeles ≈ $4.00. Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit — enough to try the Actor on a full city.

💡 Use cases

• Lead generation for senior care placement agencies, insurers, and service providers
• Market research on senior living pricing, capacity, and competition by region
• Review analysis of resident and family sentiment across facilities
• Directory building and data enrichment with verified contact information
• Investment research into the senior housing market

🎯 Tips for best results

• Start with listing-only mode (default) to map a market cheaply, then re-run with scrapeDetails: true on the facilities you care about.
• One city URL covers both city and nearby results — duplicate facilities across overlapping cities are removed automatically.
• Use the generic city URL (e.g. https://www.caring.com/senior-living/california/los-angeles) to get all care types at once, or a care-type URL to narrow down.
• Set maxItems: 0 to remove the item limit when scraping whole cities.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Caring.com? This Actor extracts publicly available business information (facility names, addresses, prices, public reviews). Web scraping of public data is generally legal, but you should review Caring.com's Terms of Service and consult a legal professional for your specific use case. Do not use the data to violate privacy laws.

Can I scrape an entire state? Yes — add one start URL per city. City-level URLs give the most complete coverage since nearby results overlap between cities and are deduplicated automatically.

What if a facility page can't be loaded in details mode? The Actor automatically falls back to saving the listing data it already collected, so you never lose a result.
