Free Apify plan limits (set by this Actor's developer)

Limit	Free Apify plan	Paid Apify plan
Runs of this Actor	10 total	Unlimited
Results per run	Up to 200 (`maxItems`)	Up to schema max (200)

These caps are enforced in Actor code (not by Apify Console). Hitting the run limit finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug.

What does the Apartments.com Rental Scraper do?

It turns a US city rental search on Apartments.com into a clean Apify Dataset of rental communities and listings.

Under the hood, the Actor:

Builds the Apartments.com search URL for your city and property type
Collects listing cards from search results pages (SRP)
Optionally opens detail pages (LDP) for JSON-LD, floorplans, units, amenities, and fees
Writes normalized records you can download or push into automations

US residential egress is required for Akamai. When Actor env WORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY=1, the Cloud Run worker uses its own PROXY_URL; otherwise the Actor mints Apify RESIDENTIAL (US, prefilled). Fetching uses a slim Camoufox-only browser stack — plain HTTP is not used (Akamai 403).

What data can you extract from Apartments.com?

Data point	Included
Property / community name	✅
Address, city, state	✅
Rent / price range (`price`, `lowPrice`, `highPrice`)	✅
Bed / rent summary	✅
Phone	✅
GPS coordinates	✅
Listing URL & images	✅
Amenities	✅
Floorplans / units (when details enabled)	✅
Fees / schools / Walk Score text	✅

Every Dataset row also includes scrapedAt and source = apartments.com. A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store reports counts and warnings.

What you can do with it

1. Scrape apartments for rent in a metro

Enter a city like Austin, TX, keep property type Apartments, and get structured community rows with rent ranges, phones, addresses, and listing URLs.

2. Cover houses, condos, and townhomes

Set propertyType to houses, condos, townhomes, or all to target other Apartments.com rental verticals.

3. Enrich known Apartments.com URLs

Paste search or detail URLs into Start URLs to override location/property type or fetch specific listing detail pages directly.

4. Pull floorplans and unit grids

Keep Scrape detail pages and Include unit/floorplan details enabled to extract JSON-LD floorplans plus DOM unit grids when present.

5. Feed rental data into automations

Schedule the Actor and send the Dataset to Sheets, Slack, CRM, Make, n8n, Zapier, or an AI agent via Apify MCP / API.

How to scrape Apartments.com (no code required)

Click Try for free
Enter a location (Austin, TX)
Choose property type (default: Apartments)
Optionally set max listings / max search pages and detail enrichment
Keep Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy enabled (US)
Click Start — open the Dataset tab when the run finishes

Start with maxItems: 5–10 to verify the market, then scale up.

Pricing — how much does it cost to scrape Apartments.com?

Pay per event. No subscription.

Event	Price	When charged
`apify-actor-start`	$0.005	When a normal run starts (scaled by allocated memory GB)
`apify-default-dataset-item` (`result`)	$2.50 / 1,000 ($0.0025 each)	Each listing written to the default Dataset

User pays platform usage costs: Yes — compute, residential proxy, and other platform usage are billed to the user in addition to event charges.

Example product charges (events only):

Scenario	Approx. event charge
Canary: 10 listings	$0.005 + 10 × $0.0025 = $0.030
City scan: 100 listings	$0.005 + $0.25 = $0.255
1,000 listings	$0.005 + $2.50 = $2.505

Platform usage (especially residential proxy + browser warmup) is separate and depends on run duration and memory.

Input

Field	Description
`location`	City and state, e.g. `Austin, TX`
`propertyType`	`apartments`, `houses`, `condos`, `townhomes`, or `all`
`startUrls`	Optional search or detail URLs
`maxItems`	1–200 (default 20); free users capped at 200/run
`maxPages`	Max SRP pages (~40 cards/page), 1–18
`scrapeDetails`	Enrich from detail pages (default `true`)
`includeUnits`	Parse DOM floorplan/unit grids (default `true`)
`requestDelayMillis`	Politeness delay between navigations
`proxyConfiguration`	Apify RESIDENTIAL / US when Actor mints proxy
`workerBaseUrl`	Optional per-run worker origin override (Advanced)

Open the Input tab in Console for the full form and tooltips.

Output example

You can download the Dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

{
  "listingId": "abc123",
  "propertyName": "Example Apartments",
  "listingUrl": "https://www.apartments.com/example-apartments-austin-tx/",
  "city": "Austin",
  "state": "TX",
  "price": 1450,
  "lowPrice": 1450,
  "highPrice": 2100,
  "telephone": "(512) 555-0100",
  "floorplanCount": 8,
  "source": "apartments.com",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-17T00:00:00+00:00"
}

Core fields include address/price/phone/GPS, listingUrl, images, amenities, plus detail extras such as jsonLdFloorplans, domFloorplans, unitCount, feesText, and schoolsText when enrichment is enabled.

Live View endpoints

When Standby / Live View is enabled, the Actor exposes a small OpenAPI surface for readiness and discovery:

Endpoint	Purpose
`GET /`	Readiness / service info
`GET /health`	Health check
`GET /input-example`	Low-cost example input
`GET /openapi.json`	Deployed OpenAPI document

Scraping still runs through a normal Actor run — Live View does not scrape Apartments.com by itself.

FAQ

Why did my free-plan run stop after 10 runs?

Free Apify plan users get 10 runs of this Actor and up to 200 results per run. These limits are set by the Actor developer (not Apify). When you hit the run cap, the run finishes with a clear status message — it is not a platform bug. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.

Is there a free Apartments.com API?

Apartments.com does not offer a simple public rental API for bulk third-party export. This Actor gives you structured rental community data through Apify runs, Dataset exports, and integrations.

Why is a US residential proxy required?

Apartments.com is protected by Akamai and returns 403 Access Denied for many datacenter and direct IPs. Reliable runs need US residential egress (worker PROXY_URL when WORKER_PROVIDES_PROXY=1, otherwise Apify RESIDENTIAL / US).

Can I scrape houses and condos as well as apartments?

Yes. Set propertyType to houses, condos, townhomes, or all.

Why are detail pages fetched one at a time?

Detail fetches are always serialized (concurrency 1) for Akamai stability.

What happens when a detail page fails?

Failed detail fetches still emit the SRP row with a detailError field. If scrapeDetails is enabled and the detail failure rate exceeds maxDetailFailRatio (default 0.5) after at least two attempts, the run fails instead of looking like a clean success.

Can I schedule daily Apartments.com scrapes?

Yes. Create an Apify schedule with the same input and send the Dataset to Sheets, Slack, a CRM, or your pipeline.

Is it legal to scrape Apartments.com?

Use this Actor for legitimate research and analysis only. Respect Apartments.com terms of use and applicable law. Results may include publicly displayed listing information; do not use personal data without a lawful basis.
