Apartments Scraper API

What does Apartments.com Scraper do?

Apartments.com Scraper collects rental listings from Apartments.com by search URL or location. Enter a city, neighborhood, or ZIP code, or paste an Apartments.com search or property URL, and the Actor returns property names, addresses, rent ranges, amenities, photos, and leasing contact details. Results are saved to an Apify dataset that you can download or connect to another workflow. You can run the Actor on a schedule.

The Actor handles normal Apartments.com search pages, filtered pages, page numbers, and individual property pages. It stops when your result limit is reached, when the last page is reached, or when your page limit is reached.

Why use Apartments.com Scraper?

• Compare asking rents and amenities across neighborhoods without copying listings by hand.
• Build a shortlist with addresses, prices, photos, and phone numbers in one dataset.
• Monitor the same location on a schedule and compare new listings with earlier runs.
• Collect property names, phone numbers, and addresses for leasing outreach and market mapping.
• Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or send them to Google Sheets, webhooks, Make, Zapier, or your own system.

Search mode priority

startUrl wins when both startUrl and location are supplied. The location value is ignored in that case. When startUrl is empty, the Actor builds a search from location and filters.

filters apply to location searches. A full startUrl keeps the filters that are already in the URL. For example, a URL for one-bedroom apartments keeps that bedroom filter even if filters.bedrooms is empty.

Tips for Best Results

• Use startUrl when you want an exact search, filter combination, or page order from Apartments.com.
• Use location when you want the Actor to build the search for you.
• Keep results_wanted small during your first run, then increase it after you confirm the output.
• filters.bedrooms and filters.propertyType are applied in the search URL. filters.minPrice and filters.maxPrice are applied to the collected listings.
• A price filter keeps a listing when its advertised rent range overlaps your range. A property with prices from $2,995 to $3,195 can still appear in a search with a $3,000 maximum.
• Residential proxies are recommended. Data-center requests are more likely to be blocked. Leave the proxy country empty to let the Actor rotate locations when a request is challenged.
• The Actor reuses a working proxy session and its cookies across pages, so larger runs are less likely to be interrupted by blocks.
• Property photos are collected for every listing, so image_urls can contain dozens of URLs.
• Amenities are merged from the listing details and the property media labels without opening detail pages. If the source does not publish any amenity data, the amenities field is omitted.
• Some listings do not publish rent or a description. Those fields are omitted from the record.
• If a run returns fewer records than requested, raise max_pages or widen the filters.

Integrations

• Send listings to Google Sheets for review and sharing.
• Trigger a downstream workflow with webhooks after each run.
• Connect datasets to Make or Zapier automations.
• Pull dataset items into your own application through the Apify API.
• Download results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export the data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets can be downloaded as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and other supported formats.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule the Actor in Apify Console to refresh rental data daily, weekly, or at another interval.

Can I search by ZIP code?

Yes. Enter a five-digit ZIP code in location. The Actor resolves the city and state, then searches that ZIP code.

Can I scrape a single property page?

Yes. Paste the property URL in startUrl. The Actor returns one record with the property details and available fields.

Why are some rent values missing?

Some listings do not publish rent on Apartments.com. When a listing has no rent data, the rent fields are omitted instead of being saved as null.

Why do I get fewer results than I requested?

The location may have fewer matching listings after your filters, or the page limit may be too low. Increase max_pages or widen the filters. Listings without published rent are excluded when a price filter is active.

Does a URL or a location win when both are provided?

The URL wins. The Actor ignores location and filters in that case and follows the URL as supplied.

Is this Actor suitable for non-technical users?

Yes. You can run it from Apify Console with the form inputs and download the dataset without writing code.

Is it legal to scrape Apartments.com?

Scraping public web data can be legal, but you are responsible for complying with applicable laws, website terms, and privacy rules. Use the data responsibly and do not overload the site.
