## 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

## Airbnb Scraper — Listings, Prices & Ratings (Pay Per Listing)

Extract Airbnb search results **reliably** — listing name, nightly/total price, rating, Superhost/Guest-favorite badges, GPS coordinates, photos, and a direct booking URL. Built for people who are tired of Airbnb scrapers that return empty datasets.

**You pay only for listings actually delivered.** $1 per 1,000 listings. No subscription, no rental fee.

### Why this scraper

- **Self-healing parser.** Airbnb changes its page internals constantly — that's why most Airbnb actors have 2–3★ ratings. This actor doesn't hardcode fragile paths: it scans the page's embedded data for the results payload wherever it lives, with a deep-scan fallback. When Airbnb moves things, this actor keeps working.
- **No browser overhead.** Plain HTTP + embedded JSON = fast runs and low compute cost.
- **Deduplicated, charged honestly.** Each unique listing is delivered and charged once. Failed pages cost you nothing.
- **Date & guest aware.** Pass check-in/check-out and guests to get real, priced availability (total for stay), not just teaser cards.

### Input

```json
{
  "locations": ["Austin, Texas", "Lisbon, Portugal"],
  "checkIn": "2026-08-10",
  "checkOut": "2026-08-15",
  "adults": 2,
  "currency": "USD",
  "maxListingsPerSearch": 200
}
```

Or paste full `airbnb.com/s/...` URLs (with any UI filters applied) into `startUrls`.

### Output (one record per listing)

```json
{
  "id": "1718466620893746332",
  "url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1718466620893746332?check_in=2026-08-10&check_out=2026-08-15&adults=2",
  "name": "Designer Lake View Retreat | 5 bedrooms | Rooftop",
  "title": "Home in Austin",
  "price": "$1,415",
  "priceQualifier": "for 5 nights",
  "rating": "4.93 (128)",
  "badges": ["Superhost"],
  "latitude": 30.4161,
  "longitude": -97.89,
  "images": ["https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/..."],
  "currency": "USD",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-02T23:59:00.000Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- **STR investors & analysts** — comp sets, market saturation, nightly-rate distributions by area.
- **Dynamic pricing** — feed competitor rates into your pricing engine on a schedule.
- **Travel products & agents** — this actor is callable via API and by AI agents (MCP / x402-enabled on Apify), so autonomous workflows can pull live listing data mid-execution.
- **Academic / market research** — coordinates + prices + ratings at scale.

### Limits & honesty

- One search returns up to ~270 listings (Airbnb's own pagination ceiling, 18 × 15 pages). To cover a whole city, split by price bands (`priceMin`/`priceMax`) or neighborhoods — each band is its own search.
- Prices reflect what Airbnb shows for your dates/currency; without dates Airbnb may show teaser pricing.
- Residential proxies (default) are strongly recommended.
