What makes this scraper different?

Compared to other apartments.com scrapers on Apify:

Feature	Others	This scraper
Email extraction from property websites	No	Yes
Drive Score	No	Yes
Score labels ("Very Walkable")	No	Yes
Full review texts with author & date	No	Yes
FAQ from listing	No	Yes
Office hours	No	Yes
Lease terms	No	Yes
Year built, units, stories	No	Yes
Property website URL	No	Yes
Languages spoken	No	Yes
Amenities by category	1 scraper	Yes
Async concurrency (10 parallel)	Varies	Yes
Search-only mode (no details)	No	Yes
Native async TLS (primp)	No	Yes (fastest)

How it works (technical)

1. Search phase — Fetches search result pages and extracts listing URLs with pagination
2. Detail phase — Visits each listing page and extracts data from:
   • startup.init() JavaScript object (94+ fields)
   • Schema.org JSON-LD (@graph with Product, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage)
   • HTML elements (scores, amenities, fees, schools, transportation)
3. Email phase (optional) — Follows the property website link and extracts validated emails with strict filtering (junk domains, placeholder addresses, file extensions excluded)

The scraper uses primp — a TLS client that generates browser-identical fingerprints, bypassing Akamai Bot Manager without Playwright or Selenium overhead. Each request gets a unique proxy session ID for IP rotation.

Tips for best results

• Use Residential US proxies (pre-configured). Datacenter proxies will be blocked by Akamai.
• Start with small runs (maxPages: 1, maxItems: 5) to verify your setup before scaling.
• Multiple cities in one run — add several search URLs to scrape New York, Chicago, and Miami simultaneously.
• Search-only mode — set includeDetails: false to quickly grab listing URLs without full details. Great for monitoring new listings.
• Concurrency 5-10 is the sweet spot. Going above 15 may increase block rate.

Limits

• apartments.com shows max 18 pages (~720 listings) per search query
• Some listings may not have scores, reviews, or property websites
• Email extraction depends on whether the property website is reachable and contains a contact email
• The site uses Akamai Bot Manager — occasional 403 blocks are expected and handled automatically with session rotation
