Airbnb Price Scraper (Apify Actor)

This is a Puppeteer-based web scraper that reliably extracts complete final pricing breakdowns (including base rate, cleaning fees, service fees, hidden fees, and precise tax calculations) for any given Airbnb property.

To ensure all fees and accurate taxes are visible (as they are sometimes obfuscated on the listing page), this scraper automates navigating directly to the checkout/booking page, avoiding localization or regional price obfuscation by enforcing a US English locale.

Data Extracted

When run, the actor returns the following dataset:

• propertyId (The unique listing ID)
• checkIn & checkOut dates
• Total adults, children, infants, pets
• totalAmount (The final sum total)
• breakdown:
  • base_rate (e.g., "$300 x 3 nights")
  • cleaning_fee
  • service_fee
  • taxes

Apify Integration & Architecture

• Fully compatible with the Apify Actor JSON schema (configurable via .actor).
• Accepts propertyId, checkIn, checkOut, and guest configurations dynamically.
• Uses @apify/storage and @apify/log via the standard Actor.main() wrapper.
• Extensively uses puppeteer-real-browser to effortlessly bypass basic anti-bot systems while launching apify/actor-node-puppeteer-chrome:22.
• Capable of leveraging Apify's Residential Proxy feature to prevent Datacenter IP blocking from Airbnb.

Running Locally

1. Create a simulated INPUT.json inside the Apify storage path:

   $mkdir -p storage/key_value_stores/default
   

   Add the following INPUT.json:

   {
      "propertyId": "935642686097350248",
      "checkIn": "2026-07-28",
      "checkOut": "2026-07-31",
      "adults": 2,
      "children": 0,
      "infants": 0,
      "pets": 0,
      "maxRetries": 1
   }
   

2. Install dependencies & build:

   npm install
   npm run build
   

3. Run the development environment:

   $npm run dev
   

Known Limitations

• This scraper depends on the DOM structure of specific English keywords (Reserve, Total, Taxes, Cleaning fee). locale=en mitigates most translation risks, but structural DOM alterations by Airbnb will require regex updates.
