Airbnb Scraper - Extract Unlimited Listing Data from Any Search Query

Scrape unlimited Airbnb listings with full property details starting from just a location or search query. Enter "newyork", "paris beach house", or "tokyo apartment" and this Apify Actor automatically discovers every matching listing and extracts comprehensive property data — including pricing, amenities, host info, reviews, images, bedroom/bathroom details, location, and more.

Powered by Apify platform for reliable cloud execution, automatic retries, proxy rotation, and seamless API access. Built on battle-tested scrapers used by thousands of users.

Why Use This Airbnb Scraper?

• Search-to-data pipeline — provide any search query, get complete listing details. No manual URL collection needed
• Comprehensive data extraction — 50+ data points per listing: pricing, amenities, host profile, ratings, images, location, cancellation policy
• Auto-scaling concurrent architecture — discovers and scrapes listings in parallel using producer-consumer pattern for maximum speed
• Built-in retry logic — automatic retries with exponential backoff for failed requests
• Proxy rotation — per-request proxy rotation (Apify Residential by default) prevents IP blocks
• Unlimited scale — no cap on listings per run; control via maxListings or maxPages
• Multiple search queries — scrape multiple locations in a single run

How to Scrape Airbnb Listing Data

1. Enter search queries — provide one or more location queries (e.g. "newyork", "paris", "tokyo")
2. Configure proxy — Apify Residential proxies enabled by default for reliable scraping
3. Set limits (optional) — cap by max listings or max search pages to control cost
4. Run the Actor — execute on Apify platform or via API
5. Download data — export as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML from the dataset

Running via API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run_input = {
    "searchQueries": ["newyork"],
    "maxListings": 100,
}

run = client.actor("rigelbytes/airbnb-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const input = {
    "searchQueries": ["newyork"],
    "maxListings": 100,
};

const run = await client.actor("rigelbytes/airbnb-scraper").call(input);

cURL

API_TOKEN=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>

cat > input.json <<'EOF'
{
  "searchQueries": ["newyork"],
  "maxListings": 100
}
EOF

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/rigelbytes/airbnb-scraper/runs?token=$API_TOKEN" \
  -X POST \
  -d @input.json \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Tips for Optimizing Runs

• Use specific queries — "paris 3rd arrondissement" returns more targeted results than "paris"
• Set maxListings — keep runs predictable by capping total listings
• Use residential proxies — essential for large-scale scraping. Apify Residential proxies (enabled by default) rotate per request
• Multiple queries — pass multiple search queries in one run for batch scraping
• Monitor logs — Actor logs show discovery progress and any skipped listings

FAQ, Disclaimers, and Support

Is this legal?

This tool scrapes publicly available data from Airbnb. Users are responsible for complying with Airbnb's Terms of Service and applicable laws. This scraper is designed for legitimate data analysis and research purposes.

How fast is it?

The scraper uses a concurrent producer-consumer architecture. Search pages are fetched sequentially (to respect rate limits), while listing detail pages are scraped in parallel (5 concurrent workers). A typical listing detail scrape takes 2-5 seconds.

What happens if a listing fails?

Failed listings are logged as warnings and skipped. The scraper continues with remaining listings. Automatic retries (3 attempts) handle transient failures.

Understanding Proxies

Proxies act as intermediaries between your scraper and the target website, masking your IP address.

Why Use Proxies?

• Avoid IP blocks — prevent Airbnb from recognizing your scraper IP
• Access regional content — proxies from different locations show local pricing/availability
• Scale reliably — rotating proxies distribute requests across many IPs

Types of Proxies

1. Residential Proxies — Real ISP-assigned IPs. Hardest to detect. Best for long-term scraping.
2. Data Center Proxies — Cheaper, faster, but easier to detect and block.
3. Mobile Proxies — Carrier IPs (3G/4G/5G). Very hard to detect.

Rotating vs. Straight Proxies

• Rotating — different IP per request. Essential for Airbnb scraping at scale.
• Straight — same IP for all requests. Higher risk of detection.
