🚀 SpareFoot Listings Scraper

Easily extract self-storage facility listings from SpareFoot, the largest self-storage marketplace in the US. The SpareFoot Listings Scraper gathers structured data on storage facilities — prices, unit sizes, addresses, ratings, amenities, and promotions — perfect for market research, competitive pricing analysis, and lead generation in the self-storage industry.

✨ Features

• 🏢 Comprehensive Facility Data: Get facility names, full addresses with GPS coordinates, phone numbers, ratings, review counts, amenities, photos, and active promotions.
• 💰 Unit-Level Pricing: Extract storage unit prices, regular (pre-discount) prices, sizes (5'x5' to 10'x30'+), square footage, and unit-specific promotions.
• 🔍 City-Based Extraction: Provide SpareFoot city pages (e.g., Austin-TX-self-storage.html) and the scraper follows pagination automatically.
• 📋 Optional Deep Details: Turn on scrapeFacilityDetails to visit each facility page and collect the complete unit inventory, office & access hours, and recent customer reviews.
• ⚡ Fast & Efficient: Lightweight scraping with smart limits — set maxItems to control exactly how much you pay for.

2. Set Limits – Choose how many facilities you want with maxItems (default: 50) and whether to scrape full facility details.

💡 Use Cases

• Competitive pricing analysis – Track street rates and promotions of competing storage facilities in any US market.
• Market research & site selection – Map facility density, unit availability, and pricing across cities before investing.
• Lead generation – Build lists of storage facilities with contact details and locations.
• Revenue management – Monitor price changes of specific facilities over time by scheduling recurring runs.

⚙️ Tips

• Keep scrapeFacilityDetails off if search-page data (address, rating, cheapest prices) is enough — it's 4× cheaper and much faster.
• Use maxItems to cap costs precisely; the scraper stops enqueuing new pages as soon as the limit is reached.
• Want a specific facility? Paste its SpareFoot URL directly into Start URLs.
• Schedule the Actor to run weekly to build a price history dataset for your market.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape SpareFoot? This scraper only extracts publicly available data. However, you should always ensure your use of scraped data complies with applicable laws and the target website's terms of service. This Actor is intended for legitimate research and business intelligence purposes.

The run finished with fewer results than expected — why? Some markets simply have fewer facilities listed. Check the run log: the scraper reports how many facilities each city page contains.
