🏢 Apartment List Scraper

Overview

The Apartment List Scraper is a tool designed to extract detailed information from apartment listings. This tool processes JSON data to provide a structured overview of each listing, making it easier to analyze and utilize the data for various applications.

Key Features

• 📋 Extracts Comprehensive Listing Information: The scraper captures a wide range of data points from each listing, ensuring you have all the necessary details at your fingertips.
• 🖼️ Image Handling: Automatically generates URLs for listing images, making it easy to display them in your applications.

Data Points

Search result pages expose the following fields for each listing:

• 🆔 Rental ID: A unique identifier for each rental listing.
• 🏷️ Display Name: The name of the listing as shown on the platform.
• 📍 Location: Latitude and longitude.
• 💲 Prices: The headline rent range by bedroom count.
• 🔗 Listing URL: A link to the listing's detail page.
• 🖼️ Photos: Image URLs for the listing, formatted ready to display.
• 📊 Search Rank: The listing's position in the result set.
• 🏷️ Slug: The listing's URL slug.

Apartment List now renders listing detail (description, amenities, fees, contact details) behind a server-side API that requires a key the site does not expose to browsers. Those fields are returned as null so the output shape stays stable.

Usage

Provide a list of URLs for the apartment listings you wish to process. The scraper will return a structured JSON object containing the data points listed above.

Residential proxy

Apartment List only serves results to US IPs — requests from anywhere else get a regional block page. The Actor uses a US residential proxy automatically; no configuration is required.
