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. Optionally download listing images as zip files and extract 12-month availability calendars.

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. Pay-per-event pricing — only pay for the data you extract.

Why Use This Airbnb Scraper?

Pricing: Pay Per Event

This Actor uses pay-per-event (PPE) pricing — you only pay for the data you extract. Each listing goes through up to 4 chargeable events:

Event	Description	When Charged
listing-urls	Each listing URL discovered from search	Per URL found
listing-details	Full property details extraction	Per successful detail scrape
listing-calendar	12-month availability calendar	Per successful calendar fetch
image-downloads	Download and zip listing images	Per successful image batch

Example costs (approximate, check Apify Console for current pricing):

• 100 listings with details only → ~$0.50
• 1,000 listings with details + calendar → ~$5.00
• 100 listings with details + images → ~$2.00

Disable features you don't need (listingDetails, scrapeCalendar, downloadImages) to control costs. Actual pricing is configured in the Apify Console Publication tab.

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-detailed-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-detailed-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-detailed-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
• Enable only what you need — turn off listingDetails, scrapeCalendar, or downloadImages if you don't need them to reduce cost and speed up runs
• 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 which features are running for each listing
• Set a spending limit — configure a maximum total charge per run in Apify Console to control PPE costs

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, calendar data, and image downloads are scraped in parallel (5 concurrent workers, each with independent proxy rotation). A typical listing detail scrape takes 2-5 seconds.

What happens if a listing fails?

Each feature (details, calendar, images) runs independently with its own proxy. If one feature fails, the others continue unaffected. Failed operations are silently skipped — the dataset still includes whatever data was successfully extracted for that listing.

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.
