Apartments.com Rentals Scraper

Export public Apartments.com rental properties by city, ZIP code, search URL, or individual property URL. Get stable listing IDs, rent ranges, addresses, availability, amenities, coordinates, contact details, images, and source links as JSON, CSV, Excel, or API output.

The Actor is built for rental-market research, inventory monitoring, property-management analysis, relocation workflows, and public listing enrichment. It uses a lightweight connection by default, so you do not need to configure a proxy for ordinary runs.

Example input

{
  "startUrls": [{"url": "https://www.apartments.com/apartments/new-york-ny/?bb="}],
  "maxItems": 25,
  "maxPages": 2,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "includeImages": true
}

You can instead use {"location":"Chicago IL","maxItems":25} or {"zipCode":"10001","maxItems":25}.

Filtered monitoring run

Paste the filtered Apartments.com results URL into startUrls, set a conservative maxItems, and schedule repeat runs in Apify. Stable listingId values make snapshots easy to compare.

Who is it for?

This Actor is useful for real estate analysts, rental-market researchers, property managers, relocation teams, and developers building rental search or monitoring workflows.

Tips and limits

• Start with 10–25 properties, inspect output, then increase the limit.
• Use a pasted search URL when you need Apartments.com filters preserved exactly.
• Disable includeDetails for a faster search snapshot; enable it for contacts, coordinates, amenities, and richer media.
• Broad searches may be capped or reordered by Apartments.com. The Actor reports what the public pages expose and does not claim exhaustive market coverage.
• Optional fields remain empty instead of being guessed. A row warning records detail-page failures while preserving useful search data.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

from apify_client import ApifyClient
