Airbnb Scraper — Vacation Rental Listings & Prices

Airbnb Scraper — Vacation Rental Listings & Prices extracts Airbnb search results for any city, neighborhood, region or postal code: nightly or total price, rating, photos, GPS coordinates, badges and direct listing URLs. Turn on detail enrichment to also get descriptions, amenities, host info and house rules. It is an HTTP-based Airbnb scraper, so there is no browser to run and results arrive fast.

🏠 What is Airbnb Scraper — Vacation Rental Listings & Prices?

It is an Apify Actor that reads Airbnb's public search pages the same way a visitor's browser does and returns clean, structured records. Use it for vacation rental market analysis, price monitoring, competitor benchmarking, investment research or building a dataset of short-term rentals in a city.

Airbnb caps every search at roughly 270 results. With auto-segmentation on, the Actor splits a busy search by price range and room type to get past that cap, and you can combine it with postal codes to cover a whole market zone by zone.

This example is a real item from a run with check-in/check-out dates (3 nights in Austin, TX; photos trimmed to one URL). With dates, Airbnb shows the price for the whole stay, e.g. priceLabel: "$573 for 3 nights", with a priceBreakdown; without dates it shows a nightly price.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Airbnb listings?

The Actor uses pay-per-event pricing, so you pay for results, not compute time:

• Actor start: $0.05 per run (one event per GB of memory; the default 512 MB counts as one)
• Listing scraped: $0.0006 per listing
• Listing enriched: $0.0002 extra per listing when detail enrichment is on

Example: 1,000 listings without enrichment cost about $0.65 ($0.05 + $0.60) before any plan discount. Run a 10-20 listing test first to check the data.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Airbnb? The Actor only collects publicly visible search data, with no login. You are responsible for complying with Airbnb's terms of service, robots.txt and data protection laws such as GDPR.

Can I use the Airbnb scraper via API? Yes. Start runs and fetch the dataset through the Apify REST API or the JavaScript and Python clients, or schedule runs and send data to Google Sheets, Zapier or Make.

Why do I get fewer than ~270 results? Airbnb limits each search. Keep auto-segmentation on and add postal codes for wider coverage.

Do I need proxies? The Actor uses Apify Proxy by default.

What happens if nothing is found? If a run finds no results, it ends with status FAILED and a message explaining the likely cause, so empty runs are never silent.
