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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Apartments.com Scraper — Rentals, Prices & Property Management Leads Extract **complete Apartments.com rental data** — for any US city, get **real rent prices, floor plans with per-unit rents, beds/baths/sqft, amenities, pet policy, ratings & reviews, walk score, photos, the leasing-office phone** — and the field other scrapers leave empty: the **property-management company** behind each property. Every record is also a ready-to-use **B2B lead**, scored 0–100. No login and no API key — extraction straight from Apartments.com (CoStar's #1 US rental marketplace) over US residential proxies, with a real browser engine that reliably clears Apartments.com's Akamai bot protection. ### Why this Apartments.com scraper? Most Apartments.com scrapers return the listing card and stop. This actor merges the search results, the full property page **and** schema.org data into the **richest record in the category** — and it's the only one that surfaces the **management company** as a contactable lead, with a built-in **new-listing / rent-drop monitor**. | Data | Typical scrapers | This actor | |---|---|---| | Property name, full address, geo | partial | ✅ | | Rent min/max + price text | ✅ | ✅ | | Floor plans with per-unit rent, beds, baths, sqft | ❌ | ✅ | | Leasing-office **phone** | partial | ✅ | | **Property-management company** | ❌ | ✅ | | Property's own **website** + management **emails** | ❌ | ✅ opt-in | | Amenities, fees, pet policy | partial | ✅ | | Ratings & review count | ❌ | ✅ | | Office hours, nearby schools, description | partial | ✅ | | Photos & floor-plan layouts | partial | ✅ | | Lead score (0–100) per property | ❌ | ✅ | | New-listing & rent-drop **monitor** | ❌ | ✅ | ### Use cases - **B2B lead generation** — property-management companies and leasing offices are active buyers of proptech, maintenance, insurance, accounting, smart-home, staffing and marketing services. Export them with phone, website and (opt-in) email, scored by `leadScore`. - **Rental market & pricing intelligence** — track asking rents, concessions/specials, availability and floor-plan mix by city and property type. - **Rent-drop & new-listing alerts** — schedule the actor in monitor mode to capture only properties that are new or whose rent changed. - **Competitive research** — see which management companies run which properties, their ratings and amenities, across any market. - **CRM & aggregation** — feed rental search apps, dashboards and outreach sequences with clean, structured data. ### How to use 1. [Sign up for Apify](https://console.apify.com/sign-up) — the free plan is enough to try this actor. 2. Open the **Apartments.com Scraper**, add one or more locations as `City, ST` (e.g. `Austin, TX`), choose property types, and click **Start**. 3. Watch results stream into the dataset table. 4. **Export** as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS — or pull results programmatically via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). ### Input ```json { "locations": ["Austin, TX", "Denver, CO"], "propertyTypes": ["apartments"], "maxResults": 100, "includeListingDetails": true, "enrichContactEmails": false, "monitorMode": false } ``` - **locations** — US cities as `City, ST` (e.g. `Austin, TX`). Combined with every selected property type. - **propertyTypes** — `apartments` (default), `houses`, `condos`, `townhomes`. - **startUrls** — optional Apartments.com city/search URLs (e.g. `https://www.apartments.com/austin-tx/`) or single property pages; use these to apply Apartments.com's own filters via the URL. - **maxResults / maxResultsPerSearch** — caps (default 100 total). - **includeListingDetails** *(default true)* — open each property page for the management company, website, full description, full amenity list, pet policy, fees, nearby schools, office hours, all floor plans (with beds/baths/sqft) and photos. - **minPrice / maxPrice / minBeds / maxBeds / petFriendlyOnly** — client-side filters. - **enrichContactEmails** *(default false)* — crawl the property's own website (home + contact/about, max 3 pages) for the management company's emails, phones and socials. Apartments.com never exposes emails — this is the only way to get them. - **monitorMode** *(default false)* — return only properties that are new or whose rent changed since the last run (tagged `monitorReason`). - **proxyConfiguration** — US residential proxy by default (Apartments.com blocks datacenter IPs). ### Output One record per property (`type: "property"`): ```json { "type": "property", "propertyId": "p9z8x7w", "propertyName": "The Ashton Austin", "url": "https://www.apartments.com/the-ashton-austin-tx/p9z8x7w/", "propertyType": "apartments", "streetAddress": "2207 Leon St", "city": "Austin", "state": "TX", "zip": "78705", "fullAddress": "2207 Leon St, Austin, TX 78705", "latitude": 30.2861, "longitude": -97.7394, "phone": "(512) 555-0142", "managementCompany": "Greystar", "propertyWebsite": "https://www.theashtonaustin.com", "rentMin": 1695, "rentMax": 3250, "priceText": "$1,695 - $3,250", "bedsMin": 0, "bedsMax": 2, "bedText": "Studio - 2 Beds", "bathsMin": 1, "bathsMax": 2, "rating": 4.3, "reviewCount": 184, "floorPlans": [ { "name": "A1", "beds": 1, "baths": 1, "sqft": 685, "rent": 1695 } ], "amenities": ["Pool", "Fitness Center", "In Unit Washer & Dryer", "Garage"], "petFriendly": true, "schools": ["Bryker Woods Elementary"], "officeHours": "Mon-Fri 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM; Sat 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM", "photos": ["https://images1.apartments.com/..."], "contactEmails": ["leasing@theashtonaustin.com"], "leadScore": 84, "searchLocation": "Austin, TX", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-24T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` #### What to expect (field coverage) Apartments.com is advertiser-entered data, so a few fields appear only when the property published them. | Always present | Usually present (with details on) | Present when published / opted in | |---|---|---| | propertyName, url, city, state, leadScore, scrapedAt | streetAddress, rent range, beds/baths/sqft, phone, amenities, floor plans, photos, office hours | managementCompany, propertyWebsite, rating/reviews, schools, `contactEmails` (with enrichment) | A blank field means the property didn't publish it — nothing is dropped, so you always get the richest record available. **Property type matters.** Apartment communities carry the richest data (floor plans with per-unit beds/baths/sqft, fees, nearby schools, the management company, office hours). Individually-listed **houses and condos** on Apartments.com are often posted without a per-unit floor-plan breakdown, fees, or schools block, so those fields can be blank for the `houses`/`condos` types — that's the source, not the scraper. Core fields (name, address, rent, beds, photos, lead score) are populated across all types. ### Automate & schedule Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack: - **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST. - **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** — official SDKs. - **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** — run it daily/weekly with `monitorMode` to capture only new properties and rent drops. - **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes. ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/apartments-com-scraper').call({ locations: ['Austin, TX'], propertyTypes: ['apartments'], maxResults: 100, includeListingDetails: true, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(`Got ${items.length} properties & leads`); ``` ### Integrate with any app Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required: - **[Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make)** — multi-step automation scenarios. - **[Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier)** — push new property-management leads straight into your CRM. - **[Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack)** — get notified when a monitored city gets new listings or rent drops. - **[Google Drive / Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive)** — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet. - **[Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte)** — pipe results into your data warehouse. - **[GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github)** — trigger runs from commits or releases. ### Use with AI assistants (MCP) The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the **[Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp)** — ask your assistant to "find apartments in Austin under $2,000 and list the management companies" and let it run the scraper for you. ### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire) This actor is **agent-ready** — AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards: - **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) — no account, no API key. - **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows. Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes. ### More scrapers from scrapesage Build a complete **real-estate & property lead-gen stack**: - **[Rent.com Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/rent-com-scraper)** — apartments, rentals and property leads from Rent.com. - **[Zillow Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/zillow-scraper)** — for-sale, for-rent and sold listings with agent leads. - **[Redfin Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/redfin-scraper)** — listings, prices and price history. - **[Realtor.com Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/realtor-com-scraper)** — properties, prices and agent leads. - **[Crexi Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/crexi-scraper)** — commercial real-estate listings and broker leads. - **[FastExpert Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/fastexpert-scraper)** — real estate agent leads, reviews and production stats. - **[Google Maps Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/google-maps-scraper)** — local business leads with contacts. - **[Website Contact Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/website-contact-scraper)** — emails, phones and socials from any website. - **[Yellow Pages Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/yellow-pages-scraper)** — local business listings and contacts. - **[BBB Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapesage/bbb-scraper)** — accredited-business profiles and ratings. ### Tips - **Keep `includeListingDetails` on** for the management company, floor plans and amenities — it's the difference between a listing and a lead. It adds one fast page per property. - **Management leads**: turn on `enrichContactEmails` to crawl the property's own website for the management company's email — the only way to get a contact email, since Apartments.com doesn't publish them. - **Big cities**: split very large markets by property type and use `maxResultsPerSearch` to keep runs fast. - **Recurring monitoring**: combine [Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) with `monitorMode` to track only new listings and rent drops. - **Proxies**: keep the default US residential proxy — Apartments.com blocks datacenter IPs. - **Reliability**: Apartments.com (CoStar) is behind Akamai and aggressively rotates IP blocks. This actor runs a real browser and automatically churns residential IPs until one clears, so the vast majority of runs return full data. During occasional short windows when Apartments.com blocks the whole residential pool, a run may end early with a clear message — simply re-run it a few minutes later. ### FAQ **How do I scrape Apartments.com for a specific city?** Put it in `locations` as `City, ST` (e.g. `Austin, TX`), or paste a city URL like `https://www.apartments.com/austin-tx/` into `startUrls`. Combine with property types and filters to narrow. **Does it work without an API key or login?** Yes. This actor extracts the same data a visitor sees from public Apartments.com pages — no key or login needed. **Where do the emails come from?** Never from Apartments.com (they don't publish emails). With `enrichContactEmails` on, the actor visits the property's own public website and extracts publicly listed contact emails. **Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel?** Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the [Google Drive integration](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive). **How do I monitor new listings or rent drops?** Create a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules), turn on `monitorMode`, and optionally add a [webhook](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) to push new properties into your CRM as they appear. **A field is null — why?** Some properties don't publish a rating, website, or full amenity list. Fields are blank only when the data doesn't exist, not because the scraper skipped them. **Is scraping Apartments.com legal?** This actor collects publicly available data only. You're responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (e.g. GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and Apartments.com's terms. ### Need help?

Feature requests are welcome — this actor is actively maintained. # Actor input Schema ## `locations` (type: `array`): US cities to scrape, as `City, ST` — e.g. `Austin, TX`, `Denver, CO`, `Miami, FL`. Combined with every selected property type. ## `propertyTypes` (type: `array`): Which rental types to search per location. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional Apartments.com URLs to scrape directly — a city/search results page (e.g. `https://www.apartments.com/austin-tx/`) or a single property page. Use these to apply Apartments.com's own filters via the URL. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Total number of properties to return across all searches (0 = no limit — use with care). ## `maxResultsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Cap per (location × property type) search. ## `includeListingDetails` (type: `boolean`): Open each property page to also capture the property-management company, property website, full description, full amenity list, fees, pet policy, nearby schools, office hours, all floor plans (with beds/baths/sqft) and photos. Adds one request per property. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Only keep properties whose top advertised rent is at least this. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Only keep properties whose lowest advertised rent is at most this. ## `minBeds` (type: `integer`): 0 = studio. ## `maxBeds` (type: `integer`): Only keep properties with at most this many bedrooms. ## `petFriendlyOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only keep properties that allow pets. ## `enrichContactEmails` (type: `boolean`): When a property links its own website, crawl it (home + contact/about, max 3 pages) for the management company's emails, phones and social links. Apartments.com itself never exposes emails — this is the only way to get them. Adds an extra charge only for properties that actually have a website. ## `maxPhotosPerListing` (type: `integer`): Limit the number of photo URLs captured per property. ## `deduplicateListings` (type: `boolean`): Skip duplicate properties within a run (same property listed across pages/types). ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Remember properties from previous runs in a named key-value store and return ONLY properties that are new or whose rent changed (tagged with a `monitorReason` of new / priceDrop / priceChange). Perfect for scheduled rent-drop and new-listing alerts. Works alongside Apify Schedules (the schedule starts the run; monitor mode filters out what you've already seen). ## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`): Named key-value store used to remember seen properties across runs. Use a distinct name per monitored search. ## `debugDump` (type: `boolean`): Diagnostic only — saves the raw HTML and a structure report of the first search and first property page to the key-value store. Leave off for normal runs. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apartments.com (CoStar) is behind Akamai and blocks datacenter IPs, so US Datacenter is the default and clears Apartments.com fine on the anti-detect browser; switch to Residential only if you see repeated blocks. ## Actor input object example ```json { "locations": [ "Austin, TX" ], "propertyTypes": [ "apartments" ], "maxResults": 100, "maxResultsPerSearch": 120, "includeListingDetails": true, "petFriendlyOnly": false, "enrichContactEmails": false, "maxPhotosPerListing": 25, "deduplicateListings": true, "monitorMode": false, "monitorStoreName": "apartments-monitor", "debugDump": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Every scraped property in the default dataset.
