Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### Vacasa Rental Scraper Scrapes Vacasa vacation rental listings and extracts property details, GPS coordinates, guest ratings, and property manager info — no account or cookies required. Optionally geocodes coordinates into full street addresses via Google Maps. - No Vacasa account or cookies needed - Extracts property title, latitude, longitude, and guest rating - Uses Vacasa's internal API for accurate GPS coordinates - Optional Google Maps geocoding for full street addresses (street, city, state, ZIP) - Handles listing pages with automatic pagination - Outputs clean JSON ready for Google Sheets, CRMs, or data pipelines - Free to use — you only pay for Apify platform credits #### What data does it extract? Each result contains: **Property info:** title, listing URL, guest rating (scaled to 10), property manager name **Location (always included):** latitude, longitude **Address (with Google Maps API key):** formatted address, street number, street name, city, state, postal/ZIP code All results are available as JSON, CSV, or Excel via the Apify dataset export. #### Use cases - **Vacation rental research:** Compile property data across Vacasa destinations for market analysis - **Property management intelligence:** Identify Vacasa-managed properties in target markets with exact locations - **Real estate analysis:** Geocode rental listings to compare pricing by neighborhood or ZIP code - **Competitor monitoring:** Track Vacasa listings, ratings, and availability in specific regions - **Lead generation:** Build lists of vacation rental properties with location data for outreach #### How to use 1. Click **Try for free** above 2. In the **Input** tab, paste one or more Vacasa unit URLs (e.g., `https://www.vacasa.com/unit/124365`) 3. Optionally add your **Google Maps API Key** to get full street addresses 4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete (typically under 1 minute per listing) 5. Download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the **Output** tab #### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | Array of strings | Yes | Vacasa unit URLs to scrape. Example: `https://www.vacasa.com/unit/124365` | | `googleMapsApiKey` | String | No | Google Maps Geocoding API key. When provided, coordinates are reverse-geocoded into full addresses. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify Proxy. Recommended to leave as default. | #### Output example ```json { "url": "https://www.vacasa.com/unit/124365", "title": "Mountain View Retreat | 3BR | Hot Tub & Fireplace", "latitude": 44.197702, "longitude": -72.885478, "rating": 9.2, "managedBy": "Vacasa LLC", "formattedAddress": "123 Mountain Rd, Stowe, VT 05672", "streetNumber": "123", "route": "Mountain Rd", "city": "Stowe", "state": "VT", "postalCode": "05672" } ```` > **Note:** Address fields (`formattedAddress`, `streetNumber`, `route`, `city`, `state`, `postalCode`) are only included when a Google Maps API key is provided. #### Pricing This Actor is **free to use** — you only pay for Apify platform compute time and proxy usage. A typical run of 10 listings costs approximately $0.05–$0.10 in Apify platform credits. New Apify accounts receive $5 in free credits — enough for hundreds of Vacasa listing scrapes. #### Technical notes - **No account needed:** This Actor does not require a Vacasa login or cookies to operate - **Coordinates:** GPS coordinates are fetched from Vacasa's internal `get-locations` API for high accuracy - **Geocoding:** Providing a Google Maps Geocoding API key unlocks full address data; without it, only lat/long are returned - **Proxies:** Apify Proxy is recommended for reliable access. Residential proxies may be needed for large runs - **Rate limits:** For large batches (100+ listings), consider increasing Actor memory to 2–4 GB - **Data freshness:** All data is scraped live — no cached or stale data #### Integrations Outputs are compatible with: - **Make (formerly Integromat):** Use the Apify module to trigger runs and send data to Google Sheets or Airtable - **Zapier:** Connect Actor runs to 5,000+ apps via the Apify Zapier app - **Google Sheets:** Export dataset directly as CSV and import - **REST API:** Run the Actor programmatically and poll results via the Apify API #### Support Have questions or found a bug?
