Tips for Best Results

• Start with a small results_wanted value like 20 for your first test run. Review the dataset before scaling up.
• Copy an OpenRent search URL directly from the website after applying filters. This gives the actor the clearest search scope.
• Adjust max_pages when collecting more than 20 listings. Keep it aligned with your target result count.
• Enable Apify Proxy with residential groups for repeated or large collection runs to improve reliability.
• Some fields may be empty when the source listing does not publish that information. Check multiple results before assuming the actor missed data.

Integrations

• Google Sheets - Export listings for shared research and team review.
• Airtable - Build a searchable property database from your dataset.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many OpenRent listings can I collect?

You can collect as many listings as your input limits allow. Increase results_wanted and max_pages when your search area contains more matching properties.

Can I collect listings from a specific city?

Yes. Provide an OpenRent search URL with city filters already applied, or set location to a city such as London, Manchester, Bristol, or Birmingham.

Does the dataset include property photos?

Yes. The output includes imageUrl for the main image and imageUrls for additional gallery images when OpenRent provides them.

Can I filter by keyword?

Yes. Set keyword to terms such as studio, furnished, or parking to keep only listings that match your focus.

Why did I receive fewer listings than requested?

The search may contain fewer matching listings than your requested count, or your max_pages value may limit the results. Increase max_pages if the source page shows many more results beyond what was collected.

Can I export the results to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded in CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, RSS, and HTML table formats from the Apify Console.

Is this Actor suitable for non-technical users?

Yes. You can run the Actor from Apify Console with form-based inputs and download the output without writing code.

What should I do if some fields are missing?

Some fields may be empty when the source listing does not publish that information. Check multiple records before assuming the actor failed.

Is it legal to scrape OpenRent?
