PadMapper Scraper

Scrape PadMapper.com apartment and rental listings across the US and Canada. Search any city, neighborhood, or zip code with price, bedroom, bathroom, property-type, and pet filters, or pull full building details — description, amenities, photos, and every available floorplan — from a single listing URL. HTTP-only, no login, no cookies, no paid proxy required.

What this actor does

• Two modes: search (city / neighborhood / zip) and byBuildingUrl (single building deep-dive)
• Filters: min/max price, bedroom count, min bathrooms, property type, pets allowed, zip code, min/max square feet, min/max price per bedroom, lease term (long-term vs short-term/sublet)
• Real listing data: address, coordinates, price range, bed/bath range, amenities, photos, availability date
• Building detail mode: full description, year built, floor count, every floorplan/unit with its own price and availability
• Photo URLs built from PadMapper's CDN, ready to use directly
• Empty fields are omitted — every returned field has a real value

Output per listing (mode = search)

• listingId, buildingId
• title, buildingName, address, city, state, zipcode, neighborhood
• lat, lng
• minPrice, maxPrice — monthly rent range (USD)

FAQ

Does this actor require login or cookies? No. PadMapper's search results and building pages are fully public.

Does this actor use a paid proxy? No. It runs without any proxy by default. proxyConfiguration is only used as a one-time automatic retry if PadMapper ever returns a rate-limit response, and defaults to Apify's free AUTO datacenter group.

How do I find the location slug for my city? Visit padmapper.com/apartments/<your-city> in a browser — the URL path segment after /apartments/ is the slug (e.g. chicago-il, austin-tx). Append /neighborhood-slug to search within a neighborhood.

Why do some listings have a price/bed/bath range instead of one number? PadMapper groups multiple available units in the same building under one listing when they share a building. The range reflects the min/max across all currently available units. Use mode=byBuildingUrl to get every individual unit's exact price and bedroom count.

Some listings are missing imageUrls or rating — is that a bug? No — only fields with real data from PadMapper are included in each record. Not every listing has photos, a rating, or every optional field populated.

Can I search cities outside the US? PadMapper primarily covers US and Canadian metro areas. Use the same city-state/city-province slug format, e.g. toronto-on.
