Apartments.com Rentals Scraper

Export public Apartments.com rental properties by city, ZIP code, search URL, or individual property URL. Get stable listing IDs, rent ranges, addresses, availability, amenities, coordinates, contact details, images, and source links as JSON, CSV, Excel, or API output.

The Actor is built for rental-market research, inventory monitoring, property-management analysis, relocation workflows, and public listing enrichment. It uses a lightweight connection by default, so you do not need to configure a proxy for ordinary runs.

Example input

{
  "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.apartments.com/apartments/new-york-ny/?bb="}],
  "maxItems": 25,
  "maxPages": 2,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "includeImages": true
}

You can instead use {"location":"Chicago IL","maxItems":25} or {"zipCode":"10001","maxItems":25}.

Filtered monitoring run

Paste the filtered Apartments.com results URL into startUrls, set a conservative maxItems, and schedule repeat runs in Apify. Stable listingId values make snapshots easy to compare.

Who is it for?

This Actor is useful for real estate analysts, rental-market researchers, property managers, relocation teams, and developers building rental search or monitoring workflows.

Pricing

The Actor charges a one-time Start event per run and a Rental property event for each unique property saved. Blocked requests, failed enrichment, and duplicates do not trigger a property charge. See the live Pricing tab for current rates and account-tier discounts.

Tips and limits

• Start with 10–25 properties, inspect output, then increase the limit.
• Use a pasted search URL when you need Apartments.com filters preserved exactly.
• Disable includeDetails for a faster search snapshot; enable it for contacts, coordinates, amenities, and richer media.
• Broad searches may be capped or reordered by Apartments.com. The Actor reports what the public pages expose and does not claim exhaustive market coverage.
• Optional fields remain empty instead of being guessed. A row warning records detail-page failures while preserving useful search data.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

from apify_client import ApifyClient

run = client.actor("fetch_cat/apartments-com-rentals-scraper").call(run_input={
    "zipCode": "10001", "maxItems": 25, "includeDetails": True

FAQ

Can I export CSV or Excel?

Yes. Every run writes an Apify dataset that can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS and queried over the dataset API.

Does it require a proxy?

No proxy is configured by default. Optional Apify Proxy settings are available for buyers who need them in their own environment.

Why are some fields empty?

Apartments.com does not show every field for every property. The Actor returns null or an empty array rather than inventing values.

Can I scrape a single property?

Yes. Add its public Apartments.com property URL to startUrls and set maxItems to 1.
