Scrape Padmapper apartment rentals across US/CA cities: rent, beds, baths, sqft, location, photos, source-site links, availability. Monitoring (NEW, UPDATED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED), incremental runs, resume, MCP export.
What Padmapper Scraper can do
- Real inventory data: rent range, beds, baths, square feet, address with coordinates, neighborhood, photos and the source-site link in one record.
- City search with the filters that matter: rent range, bedroom counts, minimum bathrooms, cats and dogs allowed.
- Listing and building links: paste a listing link, a building link or a bare listing id for a direct read; a building link returns that building's listings (one page, up to 50).
- Availability monitoring: scheduled runs classify every listing as NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED or EXPIRED, with per-campaign state you can name or share.
- Resume long pulls: paste a previous run or dataset id and continue without paying twice for what was already collected.
- MCP connector export: send results to Notion and other connectors without changing the dataset.
Choose what to collect
These inputs let you configure Padmapper Scraper - Apartment Rentals & Rent Data. Open the actor on Apify to enter your values and review the current options.
| Input | What it controls |
|---|---|
modestring · required | Search finds rental listings in one or more cities with filters. URL mode reads specific listings or buildings you name. |
locationsarray | Where to search: one entry per city. Use 'City, ST' (Austin, TX, New York, NY) or a full city name (Toronto, Ontario). The source covers cities across the US and Canada. |
minPriceinteger | Search mode: only listings whose rent is at least this much per month. |
maxPriceinteger | Search mode: only listings whose rent is at most this much per month. |
bedroomsarray | Search mode: bedroom counts to keep. Studio means 0. Leave empty for all bedroom counts. |
bathroomsinteger | Search mode: only listings with at least this many bathrooms. |
catsOkboolean | Search mode: keep only listings that allow cats. |
Show 18 more inputs
| Input | What it controls |
|---|---|
dogsOkboolean | Search mode: keep only listings that allow dogs. |
propertyTypestring | Search mode: keep only one kind of property. Leave empty for all kinds. |
minBedsinteger | Search mode: shortcut for a bedroom range (0 = studio). Combined with Max bedrooms it picks every bedroom count in between; it narrows the Bedrooms list when both are set. |
maxBedsinteger | Search mode: upper end of the bedroom range (5 means 5 or more). |
sortBystring | Search mode: order of the walk inside each city. Matters most when Max items is smaller than the city inventory. |
listingInputsarray | URL mode: city-search links (www.padmapper.com/apartments/austin-tx, optionally with /2-beds, /studios, /pet-friendly, /under-1500?max-price=?min-price=?page=), listing links (/rentals/...), building links (/buildings/...), or bare numeric listing ids. Multi-value supported. A building link returns every listing in that building; links with a p-number or without a slug are resolved through the building page. |
urlsarray | Alias for Listing or building links, accepted under the name other Apify actors use for URL mode. Each entry is a listing link, a building link, or a numeric listing id; entries are read in order. Pre-filled with the same examples as Listing or building links; if you send only this field, your entries replace the examples. |
maxItemsinteger | Stop after this many records (0 = no limit; the run then stops when listings run out). |
currencyHintstring | Optional. Fill the currency field of listing records with USD or CAD instead of deriving it from each listing's ZIP or postal code (US-style numeric ZIPs are USD, Canadian alphanumeric postal codes are CAD). |
resumeFromRunIdstring | Paste a previous run ID or dataset ID to continue a large pull without returning items already collected there. |
incrementalModeboolean | Turn this on for daily or recurring monitoring. The first run returns every matching listing as NEW. Later runs normally return only NEW, UPDATED and REAPPEARED listings. A listing is UPDATED when any returned field changes (rent, availability, bedrooms, address, description, amenities, photos and so on; list order does not count); changedFields names them. updatedAt, isFeatured and the source's own refresh timestamp never count as a change, and neither does anything you list under Ignore fields. Turn on Emit unchanged or Emit expired only when you also want those rows returned (and billed). State is kept separately for each city, filter and link setup; use State key to name or deliberately share a monitoring campaign. |
stateKeystring | Optional. Name this monitoring campaign to keep its state stable, or deliberately share state across differently configured runs. Leave empty to let the actor derive a key automatically from the cities and filter settings. |
emitUnchangedboolean | Off by default. Turn on to also return listings that have not changed since the last run, marked UNCHANGED. This returns, and bills, extra rows you already have. |
emitExpiredboolean | Off by default. Turn on to also return listings that were present in a previous run but are no longer found, marked EXPIRED. Only produced once a run has fully scanned the tracked search. |
ignoreFieldsForChangesarray | Field names that never count as a change in incremental mode, for example price changes you do not care about. A name matches that field at any depth, and a dotted path such as raw.modified_on matches one exact path. Ignored fields stay in the output and are added to the built-in ignore list (updatedAt, isFeatured and the source's refresh stamp), which is always applied. |
mcpConnectorsarray | Optionally send results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. Authorize one under Apify, Settings, API & Integrations, then select it here. Notion gets a rich page-per-item export; other connectors get a best-effort write or digest. Leave empty to skip; never changes the dataset output. |
notionParentPageUrlstring | URL or id of the Notion page under which item pages are created. Required to enable the Notion export; ignored by other connectors. |
maxNotifyListingsinteger | Cap on items written to each connector per run. Does not affect the dataset. |

}Ways to use this data
- Rent trend and market research: track rent ranges, price changes and new listings across neighborhoods and cities over time.
- Apartment hunters and relocation services: pull filtered listings (price, bedrooms, pets) for a target city into your own site or alert tool.
- PropTech and rental aggregators: build a secondary rental feed spanning many source sites without visiting each one.
- Investors and property managers: monitor competing listings' pricing and availability in a submarket.
- Lead generation for movers and brokers: watch specific buildings or listings for status changes (NEW, price change, EXPIRED).
Before you run
Start with a small input and check the resulting records against your expected fields. Source content and actor options can change; the current Apify listing is the reference for availability and pricing.
Questions about this actor
What data does Padmapper Scraper return?
The documented output for Padmapper Scraper includes kind, recordid, listingid, url, title, description, currency and rentmin. Availability of each field depends on the source page and the selected mode.
How much does Padmapper Scraper cost?
It costs $3.00 per 1,000 results on the Apify Free plan and from $1.80 on paid plans, with smaller per-run or optional feature charges listed on Apify. The Apify listing shows the current rate for every plan.
Can I get only new or changed listings on a schedule?
Yes. Schedule the actor from the Schedules tab and turn on Incremental mode. Each run then returns only new, updated and reappeared records, and unchanged ones are not billed unless you turn on emitUnchanged.
Why did my run return fewer listings than I expected?
With several cities, Max items is split equally between them, and each city stops at its share or its last page, whichever comes first. Filters (rent range, bedrooms, bathrooms, pets) also narrow the result set. Raise Max items, or set it to 0, to collect more of a city's inventory.
Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset?
If the site refuses every request, or a city's page comes back in a shape the actor cannot read, the run stops with a clear message so "no listings for this search" is never confused with "nothing could be read". Run it again in a few minutes. If only some cities or listings could be read, you still get what was found.
Does emitExpired respect Max items?
Yes. Max items caps the whole run: EXPIRED rows only fill the budget left after the live rows, and tracked listings beyond it stay tracked and are reported by a later run. A run that already reached Max items does not report EXPIRED at all.
