🚀 SpareFoot Scraper: Self Storage Prices, Unit Rates and Facility Data

Export self storage prices and storage unit rates from SpareFoot city pages as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. The SpareFoot Listings Scraper returns every facility's name, address, GPS coordinates, phone, rating, starting price and its best-priced units with size, price, regular price and promotion. Use it for self storage pricing research, competitor rate tracking or as a simple alternative to a SpareFoot API.

🎯 Use Cases

• Track self storage prices: schedule a run on the city pages you care about and build your own history of storage unit rates by size.
• Storage unit price comparison: compare 5x5, 10x10 and 10x30 prices across every facility in a city, with regular price and current promotion side by side.
• Self storage market data for feasibility studies: count facilities, map them by GPS and read typical rates before you buy or build a site.
• Competitor rate monitoring: see what nearby operators charge and which move-in deals they run this week.
• Self storage leads: build a list of facilities with phone, street address, ZIP code and facility URL.

✨ Features

• Facility data: name, street address, city, state, ZIP, latitude, longitude, phone, SpareFoot rating and review count, amenity flags, photos and total unit count.
• Storage unit rates: size text, width, length, square footage, size category, current price, regular price, unit promotion, bookable flag and unit features (climate controlled, interior, floor…).
• Starting price: the cheapest unit price per facility as a number.
• Full facility details (optional): turn on Scrape facility details to get the complete unit list, office and access hours for every weekday and recent customer reviews.
• City pages, size pages or facility pages: pagination of city pages is followed automatically.
• No duplicates: a facility found on two pages is saved once.
• Fair billing: you pay per saved facility, and the run stops cleanly at your max charge.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Paste SpareFoot city pages such as https://www.sparefoot.com/Austin-TX-self-storage.html, size pages, or single facility pages.
2. Set Max items (default 50) and choose whether to scrape full facility details.
3. Run the scraper and download the results, or pull them through the Apify API.

⚙️ Input

Field	What it does
Start URLs	SpareFoot city pages (e.g. Austin-TX-self-storage.html), size pages or facility pages. One per line.

{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.sparefoot.com/Austin-TX-self-storage.html" },
        { "url": "https://www.sparefoot.com/Denver-CO-self-storage.html" }
    ],
    "maxItems": 200,
    "scrapeFacilityDetails": false
}

SpareFoot's free-text search page (/search.html) is not supported; use the city page for the area instead. If you start the Actor with an empty input, it scrapes the Austin, TX example page.

💰 Pricing

Pay only for the facilities you get. No monthly rental.

Event	Price	What you get
Facility listing	$0.002 per facility ($2.00 per 1,000)	One facility from a city page with address, rating and best unit prices
Facility detail	$0.008 per facility ($8.00 per 1,000)	One facility with the complete unit list, hours and recent reviews
Actor start	$0.00005 per run	Charged once when the run starts.

With Scrape facility details on, each facility is charged as a facility detail only, not as a listing too.

Examples: 50 facilities from a city page = about $0.10 · 1,000 facilities = about $2.00 · 100 facilities with full details = about $0.80.

unitCount is the facility's total number of units, while units lists the unit types shown: on a city page that is the best-priced few (usually 2–3), with details on it is every unit type the facility lists. price is today's rate and regularPrice the rate before the discount. Deals sit on each unit's promotion. With details on, the record also has hours (office and access, with opening times per weekday) and reviews (rating, author and text).

🔁 Schedule and Integrate

For self storage rate tracking, run it once a week (or daily in busy markets) with the same city pages: every run is a dated snapshot, and together they show how storage unit prices and promotions move. Set it up in Apify Schedules. Send the results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or a webhook with Apify integrations, so new rates land where your team already works.

🤖 Use with AI Agents (MCP)

This Actor works as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). An agent can call it with:

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.sparefoot.com/Austin-TX-self-storage.html" }], "maxItems": 20 }

❓ FAQ

Does SpareFoot have an official API? SpareFoot does not publish a public API for its listings. This Actor needs no key, account or approval and returns the public data a renter sees on the site: facility details, storage unit prices, promotions and reviews.

How do I track self storage prices over time? SpareFoot shows only today's rates. Schedule this Actor weekly with the same city pages and keep each run's dataset (or append them to a Google Sheet) to build your own price history by unit size.

Do I need a SpareFoot account? No.

Why is a field empty? description is blank when the facility has not written one, and the facility-level promotion is usually empty: deals are attached to each unit instead. New facilities may have no rating yet. With details on, rating, reviewCount and amenities come back empty; run without details if you need them.

How many facilities can I get? Everything SpareFoot lists for a city page, across all its result pages, up to your Max items. Coverage is the United States.

What does a storage unit cost? It depends on the city, size and features. Run the Actor on a city page and sort the units by squareFootage to see the local rate for a 5x5, 10x10 or 10x20 unit.
