Apartments.com Scraper — Rentals, Fees, Reviews & Media

Extract US rental listings from Apartments.com at scale as clean, structured JSON. Search any city, ZIP, neighborhood, coordinate, URL or listing key and get pricing, per-unit availability, fees & recurring expenses, amenities, leasing phone numbers, ratings, renter reviews, walk/transit/bike scores, photos, videos and 3D tours — everything the apartment's own mobile app sees.

Built on Apartments.com's official mobile API (not fragile HTML scraping), so it stays reliable at volume and enumerates the entire market in an area, not just the first search page.

Who uses this

• Lead-generation agencies — pull property names, addresses, GPS and leasing phone numbers for whole metros to build outbound lists.
• Real-estate investors & analysts — rent ranges, per-unit pricing, fees, year built, unit counts and ratings for rent-comp and underwriting models.
• PropTech & SaaS teams — a stable JSON schema (reviews, scores, media) to power apps, dashboards and pipelines without fighting anti-bot.
• Researchers — reproducible, filterable rental-market snapshots by city, ZIP or bounding box.

FAQ

How many listings can I get? Set maxItems. The actor pages past the map API's 500-per-request cap by subdividing the search area, so it can enumerate an entire metro.

How fresh is the data? Every run is live against Apartments.com's mobile API; scrapedAt records the moment each row was captured.

Is this reliable? It uses the app's official backend rather than parsing HTML, so it does not silently break when the website's markup or anti-bot changes.

Do I need proxies? Apify Residential (US) is enabled by default and recommended for larger runs. You can supply your own proxy configuration.

Which locations are supported? The US (Apartments.com's coverage). Search by city, ZIP, neighborhood, coordinates, URL or listing key.

Is scraping this legal? The actor collects publicly available listing data. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with applicable laws and terms.

Support? Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab — reported problems are triaged promptly.
