## 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

## Zumper Scraper - Apartment & Home Rentals

Scrape **apartment and home rental listings from Zumper** into clean, structured data - no Zumper account or API key required.

### What you get (per listing)

- **listingId** and the canonical **zumper.com URL**
- **title**, full **address**, **city**, **state**, **zip**
- **lat / lng** geo coordinates
- **price** headline plus **minPrice / maxPrice** range (and previous price when reduced)
- **beds** (minBeds / maxBeds), **baths** (minBaths / maxBaths), **sqft** (minSqft / maxSqft)
- **propertyType** (Apartment / Apartment building / House / Condo / Townhouse / Room) plus the raw `propertyTypeCode`
- **availableDate** and **datePosted**
- **photoUrl** (primary) and **photoUrls** (gallery)
- **phone**, **isFeatured**, `hasFees`
- **amenities** and `buildingAmenities` (human-readable tag names)
- Bonus: `rating`, `neighborhood`, `buildingName`, `brokerageName`, `agentName`, `floorplanCount`, `shortDescription`, `providerUrl`

> Zumper listings are usually multi-floorplan buildings, so price, beds, baths and sqft are expressed as **min/max ranges** (`price` = the lowest advertised rate).

### Input

- **Zumper search URLs** - build a filtered search on zumper.com and paste the result URL(s). Most precise way to target exactly the listings you want.
- Or leave URLs empty and enter **City** + **State** (e.g. `San Francisco` / `CA`) to scrape that city.
- **Max listings** caps the run.

#### Example input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.zumper.com/apartments-for-rent/san-francisco-ca" }],
  "city": "San Francisco",
  "state": "CA",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

#### Example output (one record)

```json
{
  "listingId": 58575010,
  "title": "Blueground San Francisco",
  "fullAddress": "149 San Francisco New Montgomery St",
  "city": "San Francisco",
  "state": "CA",
  "zip": "94105",
  "lat": 37.78714,
  "lng": -122.39964,
  "price": 3030,
  "minPrice": 3030,
  "maxPrice": 18470,
  "minBeds": 0,
  "maxBeds": 3,
  "minBaths": 1,
  "maxBaths": 2,
  "minSqft": 425,
  "maxSqft": 1818,
  "propertyType": "Apartment building",
  "availableDate": null,
  "photoUrl": "https://img.zumpercdn.com/761884337/1280x960",
  "url": "https://www.zumper.com/apartment-buildings/1717500/blueground-san-francisco-soma-san-francisco-ca",
  "phone": "(415) 964-3025",
  "isFeatured": false,
  "amenities": ["WiFi", "In-Unit Laundry", "Air Conditioning", "Dishwasher"],
  "scrapedFrom": "zumper.com"
}
```

### Why this actor

- **Fast + cheap:** every field is read straight from the search page's embedded state (`window.__PRELOADED_STATE__`), so there are no extra per-listing requests, and it runs on Apify's default datacenter proxy (no pricey residential proxy).
- **Durable:** parses JSON, not brittle CSS selectors, so it survives Zumper redesigns.
- **Complete records:** geo coordinates, amenity tag names, broker/agent and rating are included - fields many rental scrapers skip.
- Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull via the Apify API.

Great for **rental-market analysis, pricing intelligence, and lead research**.

### Legal / usage

Public listing data for research; **not a consumer report, not for FCRA / tenant-screening purposes.** Respect Zumper's Terms of Service and use responsibly.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more Zumper city or search-results URLs. Build a filtered search on zumper.com (city, price, beds, pets, amenities, etc.) and paste the URL(s) here - this is the most precise way to target listings, e.g. https://www.zumper.com/apartments-for-rent/san-francisco-ca. If left empty, the City + State below are used.

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

City to search when no Start URL is provided, e.g. "San Francisco" or "Austin".

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

Two-letter state code paired with City, e.g. "CA" or "TX".

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

Stop after collecting this many listings.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Zumper soft-blocks datacenter IPs (returns pages with the listing data stripped), so this actor uses Apify Residential proxy by default. Keep residential for reliable results.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [],
  "city": "San Francisco",
  "state": "CA",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```
