Apartment List Scraper

Pull US apartment and rental listings from ApartmentList.com at scale — full floorplans, individual units with exact rent and availability, amenities, nearby schools, fees, GPS coordinates, and photos for every property. Search any US city by name or paste ApartmentList links, and get one clean row per property with its complete inventory nested inside. Built for real estate investors, proptech and relocation teams, and market researchers who need structured rental data across whole cities without copying it building-by-building.

Why This Scraper?

• Complete floorplans and live units, not just a price range — every property returns its full unit list with exact monthly rent, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, lease length, availability status, and a per-unit move-in date (one sampled Austin community returned 51 available units across 14 floorplans).
• Up to ~50 nearby schools with GreatSchools ratings — each school includes its type (public or charter), grade range, a 1–10 rating, enrollment count, and distance in miles from the property.
• Up to ~30 amenities per property — pool, in-unit laundry, fitness center, garage parking, dishwasher, elevator, hardwood floors, dog park, and pet policies, all normalized into one flat list.
• Six guided filters that map to real listing behavior — bedrooms (Studio through 4+), monthly rent minimum and maximum, minimum bathrooms, earliest move-in date, pet policy (cats, dogs, or both), and an 11-option required-amenities multi-select.
• Move-in date and bathroom filters verified unit-by-unit — rather than trusting a listing summary, these two filters are checked against each property's actual units, so a "2+ bath, ready by March 1" search only keeps properties that genuinely qualify.
• Exact GPS plus full mailing address — latitude, longitude, street address, city, state, and ZIP on every property, ready to drop onto a map or feed a geocoder.
• Leasing contacts, fees, and full media — direct leasing phone number, management company, application and deposit fees, lease terms, parking and storage notes, and the complete photo set (17 images on a sample property) plus per-unit floorplan photos.
• City-name search across the US or direct URLs — type "Austin, TX" and it resolves to the correct ApartmentList page automatically, or paste search and property links copied from your browser; a single search pulls a city's entire ranked property set, so nothing is lost between pages.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep full details on for unit-level data — includeDetails (on by default) is what adds the complete units, schools, fees, and full photo set. Turn it off only when you want a fast, city-wide sweep of property cards.
• Bathroom and move-in filters need full details — bathroomsMin and moveInDate are confirmed against each property's actual units, so leave includeDetails on for the most accurate matches; with it off they fall back to the property-level summary.
• Start small, then scale — run 25–50 results first to confirm the filters match your intent, then raise maxResults.
• Remember one row equals one property — maxResults counts properties, and each can carry dozens of units, so a 100-property run can yield thousands of unit records.
• Studio is bedroom count 0 — select "Studio" in bedrooms, and read bedrooms: 0 in the unit data.
• Combine cities in one run — list several locations together to benchmark rents across markets in a single dataset.
• Paste filtered URLs for exact parity — apply filters on ApartmentList, then paste the resulting URL into Start URLs to mirror precisely what you see on the site.

Pricing

From $2.00 per 1,000 results — a flat pay-per-result rate that undercuts monthly-subscription rental scrapers, with no commitment for low-volume runs. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.24	$0.23	$0.22	$0.20
1,000	$2.40	$2.25	$2.15	$2.00
10,000	$24.00	$22.50	$21.50	$20.00
100,000	$240.00	$225.00	$215.00	$200.00

A "result" is one property row in your dataset, no matter how many units it contains. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee.
