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 ## Redfin Rentals — US Apartments & Homes for Rent Pull **US rental listings** from Redfin for any city, county, neighborhood or ZIP code. For each rental you get the property name, full address, ZIP, monthly rent range, bed and bath range, number of units available, a **contact phone**, map coordinates and a description. Great for **rental market analysis, lead lists, property-manager outreach and rental dashboards**. No login, no API key — paste a Redfin URL or type a ZIP and run. ### What you can do with it - Build a rental lead list with contact phones for property managers - Analyze a rental market (rent ranges, availability, $ by area) - Track new rental inventory and availability over time - Power a rental search site or dashboard ### Input | Field | What it does | Example | |-------|--------------|---------| | **Redfin search URLs** | Paste a Redfin city, county or neighborhood URL. Go to redfin.com, search your area, copy the address-bar URL. | `https://www.redfin.com/city/30818/TX/Austin` | | **ZIP codes** | Or just type 5-digit ZIP codes — no URL needed. | `78704`, `33139` | | **Max results** | Optional cap. Leave blank to pull everything (Redfin returns up to ~350 per area). | `500` | | **Proxy** | US residential by default (Redfin only answers US IPs). Leave as-is. | — | You can mix URLs and ZIP codes in one run. ### Output One row per rental. Example: ```json { "rentalId": "1e1c15b3-2192-4601-9191-d712d10ad6bb", "url": "https://www.redfin.com/TX/Austin/4604-S-Lamar-Blvd-78745/home/144016401", "propertyName": "Lamar Union Apartments", "rentMin": 1000, "rentMax": 1650, "bedsMin": 1, "bedsMax": 2, "bathsMin": 1, "bathsMax": 2, "numAvailableUnits": 6, "streetAddress": "4604 S Lamar Blvd", "city": "Austin", "state": "TX", "zip": "78745", "latitude": 30.235041, "longitude": -97.802635, "phone": "7376372690", "isIncomeRestricted": false, "isSeniorLiving": false, "description": "Modern apartment community with resort-style pool...", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-06T16:03:33.052Z" } ```` Typical fill rates: URL, address, city, state, ZIP and coordinates at ~100%; rent range, beds and available units at ~99%; contact phone at ~97%. ### How it works Redfin server-renders its rental search pages with the full result set embedded in the page. The actor reads the area from the Redfin URL you paste (or from a ZIP), applies the rentals filter, and extracts every rental — up to ~350 per search area. Everything runs through a US residential proxy so Redfin answers normally. ### Notes and limits - Redfin's rental inventory comes from partner feeds (largely Zillow's rental network), so it skews toward apartment communities and advertised listings, and rent/beds are given as a min-max range per community rather than per unit. - Each search area returns up to ~350 rentals. For very large metros, target multiple ZIP codes. - For homes for sale or recently sold homes, see the companion **Redfin Scraper** and **Redfin Sold Homes & Comparables** actors. - US only. ### Export formats Results download as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull them straight from the Apify API into your own app, spreadsheet or database. ### Frequently asked questions **Do I need a Redfin API key or login?** No. This Redfin rentals scraper needs no API key and no account. It reads Redfin's public rental data directly. **Can I scrape rentals by city or by URL?** Both. Give it a city, ZIP code or a Redfin rentals URL and it returns the apartments and homes for rent in that area. **What data does it return per rental?** Rent price, beds, baths, square footage, address, property type, photos and a link to the listing. **Can I get houses for sale or sold homes too?** Yes, with the companion Redfin Scraper (for sale) and Redfin Sold Homes and Comparables actors. **Is scraping Redfin legal?** This tool reads publicly available rental listings. You are responsible for how you use it. Review Redfin's terms and your local laws before large-scale use. ### Pricing Pay per result. You only pay for the rentals you actually get. # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Paste Redfin area URLs (go to redfin.com, search your city or area, copy the URL) — e.g. https://www.redfin.com/city/30818/TX/Austin. Cities, counties and neighborhoods all work. The rentals filter is applied automatically. ## `zipCodes` (type: `array`): Or just enter 5-digit ZIP codes — no URL needed, e.g. 78704, 33139. The simplest way to pull rentals for a specific area. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Cap on total rentals. Leave blank to pull all available (Redfin returns up to ~350 per search area). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Redfin answers US IPs. Defaults to Apify Residential in the US. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://www.redfin.com/city/30818/TX/Austin" ], "zipCodes": [], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountryCode": "US" } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
