Why Airbnb Scraper?

Existing Airbnb scrapers on the market often rely on heavyweight headless browsers (Playwright or Puppeteer) that consume massive amounts of RAM, load slowly, and frequently crash or get blocked.

Airbnb Scraper is built differently:

• ⚡ 10x Faster Execution: Extracts pre-rendered structured data directly via lightweight HTTP requests.
• 💰 90% Lower Compute Cost: Runs smoothly with minimal memory footprint (256MB–512MB RAM), saving you compute units.
• 🎯 Accurate & Complete Data: Delivers pristine property details, coordinates, ratings, prices, and room specifications.
• 🌐 Global Search: Search by any city, region, or destination, or pass direct Airbnb search URLs.

Best Practices & Tips

1. Proxies: When running high-volume extractions in Apify Cloud, keep useApifyProxy enabled (Residential or Datacenter) to ensure uninterrupted access.
2. Dates: To obtain exact total pricing including local taxes and fees, specify both check_in and check_out.
3. Pagination: The Actor automatically navigates Airbnb page cursors until reaching your max_listings limit.
