Airbnb Search Scraper

A flexible Airbnb scraper that supports both search-based and direct listing URL scraping. It extracts listing metadata, pricing, review summaries, and optional detail-page data.

What it does

• Searches Airbnb by location, dates, guests, price range, and property type
• Scrapes specific Airbnb listing URLs with productUrl mode
• Supports optional detail-page scraping using deepScrape
• Captures first-page reviews when enabled
• Outputs results to storage/datasets/default/

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or newer
• npm
• Residential proxies are recommended for Airbnb scraping

The scraper reads input from INPUT.json or an Apify actor input payload.

Notes

• Deep scraping produces more complete listing data but runs slower
• Light scraping is faster and returns only search-card metadata
• Airbnb may block non-residential IPs, so residential proxies are preferred
• If apify and crawlee version issues appear, reinstall dependencies using npm ci
