Trulia Rental Scraper — Prices, Addresses, Photos, Amenities & Agent Contacts

Extract rental listings from Trulia.com — a leading US real estate marketplace (Zillow Group). Get monthly rent, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, full addresses, photos, amenities, floor plans, fee breakdowns, and agent/broker contacts.

Features

• Scrape rental search pages — 40 listings per request with automatic pagination
• Scrape individual listing pages — full description, structured amenities, every photo, floor plans, fees, agent contacts
• Extract addresses with geo coordinates — street, city, state, ZIP, neighborhood, latitude/longitude
• Extract floor plans — per-plan beds, baths, sqft, price and availability for rental communities
• Extract rental fees — base rent plus the required monthly and one-time fees Trulia lists
• Extract agent & broker info — name, company, phone number
• Exact maxItems — the limit is enforced across pages, so you never pay for extra results
• Automatic deduplication across pages
• No browser — pure HTTP, which makes runs roughly 50x cheaper than a headless-browser scraper

How it works

Trulia is a Next.js application that embeds the complete page state in a __NEXT_DATA__ script tag: search results under props.searchData.homes, listing pages under props.homeDetails. The Actor reads that JSON directly over plain HTTP — no browser, no DOM selectors that break on a redesign.

Trulia is protected by PerimeterX, which answers a share of requests with an HTTP 200 challenge page instead of the real content. The Actor detects those responses, retires the session and retries. Search pages and /building/ listings pass on datacenter proxies; /home/ and /p/ listing pages usually need residential, so blocked requests are escalated to residential proxies automatically (see residentialFallback).

Two scraping modes:

Mode	Speed	Requests	Data richness
Search only (scrapeDetails: false)	Fast	1 per 40 listings	Price, beds, baths, sqft, address, coordinates, hero photo, tags
With details (scrapeDetails: true)	Slower	1 per listing	Everything above plus description, amenities, all photos, floor plans, fees, contacts

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	required	Trulia URLs — search pages (/for_rent/...) or listing pages (/building/, /home/, /p/)
maxItems	integer	50	Maximum listings to scrape. Set to 0 for unlimited.
scrapeDetails	boolean	false	Visit each listing page for the full record.
maxConcurrency	integer	10	Max parallel requests (1–50).
residentialFallback	boolean	true	Retry blocked requests on residential proxies. Turn off to cap proxy spend.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy	Proxy settings. Datacenter proxies are enough for search pages.

Use Cases

• Rental market research — analyze rent prices, availability, and trends across US cities
• Rent benchmarking — compare rental prices for similar properties across neighborhoods
• Property management — monitor competing listings and pricing in your area
• Relocation planning — find and compare rentals in a new city before moving
• Investment analysis — assess rental yields by comparing rent vs. property prices
• Amenity analysis — identify which features drive higher rents (parking, laundry, pets)

Tips

• Start with scrapeDetails: false. One request returns 40 complete listing cards; detail pages cost one request each and are only worth it when you need descriptions, amenities or floor plans.
• Set maxItems. The limit is exact — 25 means 25 records, never a full page more.
• Leave residentialFallback on unless you are only scraping search pages. Single-listing pages (/home/, /p/) are almost always blocked on datacenter IPs.
• A few 403 warnings in the log are normal. PerimeterX blocks a share of requests; the Actor retries them on a fresh session and, if needed, a residential IP.
• Each search page holds 40 listings. A maxItems of 200 means 5 requests in search mode.
