## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### Rental listings from 60+ sources, in one API

This actor returns rental listings from more than 60 property platforms and portals across 30 countries. Every listing comes back in the same shape, whatever the source: rent, beds, baths, address, geo, and a USD-converted price.

Most rental scrapers cover one site. This one covers the big portals (Zillow, Apartments.com, Zumper) and also the listings those portals miss: rentals posted through property-management software like AppFolio (140,000+ listings) and Buildium, where a lot of independent landlords and small PMs list first. It also covers international sources most US tools skip (Japan, the UK, Germany, France, Brazil, Spain, and more). One call instead of a dozen scrapers.

### What's in it

- Over 1,000,000 listings, and growing.
- 60+ platforms, including AppFolio, Buildium, Zillow, Apartments.com, Zumper, Rightmove, Zoopla, idealista, SUUMO, ImmoScout24, and LeBonCoin.
- 30 countries. Deepest in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Japan.
- US coverage: Zillow 340k+, Apartments.com 280k+, AppFolio 140k+.
- Native rent plus `rent_usd`, so prices in different currencies are comparable.

### Example output

```json
{
  "platform": "appfolio",
  "url": "https://wilkinspm.appfolio.com/listings/detail/52f441ad-...",
  "address": "2121 E. Capitol Dr. - 510, Shorewood, WI 53211",
  "city": "Shorewood", "state": "WI", "zip": "53211", "country": "US",
  "rent_min": 1345, "currency": "USD", "rent_usd": 1345,
  "beds": 2, "baths": 1, "sqft_min": 900, "property_type": "Apartment",
  "rent_per_sqft": 1.49, "rent_per_sqm": 16.09,
  "available": "8/1/26", "scraped_at": "2026-07-06T07:46:53+00:00"
}
```

### Quick start

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/housingfeed~rental-listings-api/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"country":"US","state":"CA","minBeds":2,"maxRent":3000,"maxItems":100}'
```

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `country` | string | ISO code: `US`, `UK`, `DE`, `FR`, `JP`, `BR`, `ES`, and 23 more |
| `state` | string | US state or region, e.g. `CA`, `NY`, `TX` |
| `city` | string | City name, partial match |
| `minRent` / `maxRent` | integer | Monthly rent range, in the listing's own currency |
| `minBeds` / `maxBeds` | integer | Bedroom range |
| `platform` | string | Restrict to one source, e.g. `appfolio` or `zillow` |
| `availableNow` | boolean | Only units marked available now |
| `sort` | string | `newest`, `oldest`, `cheapest`, or `rent_desc` |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max results, default 100, up to 5000 |

### Output fields

`platform`, `url`, `address`, `city`, `canonical_city`, `state`, `zip`, `country`, `lat`, `lng`, `rent_min`, `rent_max`, `currency`, `rent_usd`, `rent_per_sqft`, `rent_per_sqm`, `beds`, `baths`, `sqft_min`, `sqft_max`, `property_type`, `furnished`, `available`, `image`, `scraped_at`.

`rent_per_sqft` and `rent_per_sqm` are the USD-normalized monthly rent divided by floor area — a like-for-like price you can compare across cities and countries. They're populated wherever a listing carries a plausible area (most international portals; US portal coverage is expanding), and `null` otherwise. Areas outside a physical-plausibility band are treated as unreliable so the per-area price stays clean.

### Query by location (bounding box)

Location is usually the question that matters — so you can query by it directly. Pass any combination of `minLat`, `maxLat`, `minLng`, `maxLng` and get every listing inside that box, across all platforms at once. This is the same query that powers the live map at [housingfeed.com/map](https://housingfeed.com/map/).

```json
{ "minLat": 25.70, "maxLat": 25.86, "minLng": -80.32, "maxLng": -80.10, "maxItems": 100 }
```

…returns every listing in downtown Miami — Zillow, Apartments.com, AppFolio and Buildium inventory together, one schema. Geo filters combine with everything else (rent, beds, platform, availableNow) and return geocoded listings only (about half the feed carries exact coordinates; near-100% in France, Brazil, Canada, Belgium, Italy and Austria).

### Who it's for

- Proptech and rental sites that need inventory from more than one source.
- Investors and analysts running rent comps and market trends.
- Data and ML teams that want a clean, normalized rental dataset.
- Developers who don't want to build and maintain 60 separate scrapers.

### Pricing

$2 per 1,000 listings. You pay for the results you pull, nothing else.

New Apify accounts come with free monthly usage credits, so you can test the actor before you spend anything.

### FAQ

**Is it legal?** It returns publicly listed rental data. Property-management listings (AppFolio, Buildium) are published to be syndicated. You are responsible for how you use the data.

**How fresh is it?** Listings are refreshed on a schedule, and every record has a `scraped_at` timestamp. For a live re-scrape at query time, pass `"refresh": true`.

**Can I get one platform or one country?** Yes. Filter by `platform` or `country`.

**Why not just scrape Zillow?** Zillow and the other portals don't carry the property-management listings (AppFolio, Buildium) or most international inventory. This actor has both, in one schema.

**What countries are covered?** 30, led by the US, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil, and Spain.

# Actor input Schema

## `country` (type: `string`):

Return listings from one country only. Blank = all countries.

## `state` (type: `string`):

US state code (e.g. CA, NY, TX) or region. Blank = all.

## `city` (type: `string`):

City name, partial match (e.g. "Los Angeles"). Blank = all.

## `minRent` (type: `integer`):

Minimum monthly rent, in the listing's local currency.

## `maxRent` (type: `integer`):

Maximum monthly rent, in the listing's local currency.

## `minBeds` (type: `integer`):

Minimum number of bedrooms.

## `maxBeds` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of bedrooms.

## `platform` (type: `string`):

Restrict to one source platform (e.g. appfolio, zumper, immoweb, rightmove, suumo). Blank = all 60+ platforms.

## `availableNow` (type: `boolean`):

Only return listings marked available now.

## `minLat` (type: `string`):

South edge of a bounding box, decimal degrees (e.g. 25.70). Set any combination of the four bounds; when a geo filter is used, only listings with exact coordinates are returned. Combines with all other filters.

## `maxLat` (type: `string`):

North edge of the bounding box (e.g. 25.86).

## `minLng` (type: `string`):

West edge of the bounding box (e.g. -80.32). Boxes crossing the 180° antimeridian are not supported.

## `maxLng` (type: `string`):

East edge of the bounding box (e.g. -80.10).

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Order of results: newest (default), oldest, cheapest, or rent\_desc (most expensive first).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of listings to return.

## `refresh` (type: `boolean`):

Re-scrape the portal platforms live for the freshest data instead of serving the latest snapshot. Slower — leave off for fast queries.
