🏖️ Houfy Listings Scraper

Extract vacation rental listings from Houfy — the fee-free, book-direct rental marketplace. The Houfy Listings Scraper turns any Houfy search or location page into a clean, structured dataset of properties: prices, exact locations, amenities, photos, ratings, and host information.

💵 How much does it cost to scrape Houfy?

This Actor uses a pay-per-result pricing model:

Event	Price (USD)
Listing scraped (search/browse data)	$0.002 per listing
Listing detail scraped (full record)	$0.007 per listing

For example, scraping 1,000 listings from search pages costs about $2, while 1,000 full detail records costs about $7, plus minimal platform usage. New Apify users get free monthly usage credits to start.

💡 Tips

• Start with search/browse mode (Scrape full listing details off) to quickly map inventory and pricing across a location, then re-run with details on for the properties you care about.
• Go to city-level location pages (e.g. a specific city rather than a whole state) for deeper coverage.
• Increase Max items gradually to control your cost per run.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping Houfy legal? This Actor collects only publicly available data. You are responsible for how you use the scraped data — always comply with Houfy's Terms of Service, applicable laws (including GDPR), and respect intellectual property rights.

Can I get host email and phone numbers? No. Contact details are not publicly available on Houfy listings, so they are not included. The Actor returns public host names, usernames, and response stats — ideal for listing intelligence and market research.

Can I scrape a single property? Yes — just add its /lodging/... URL to Start URLs.
