## Inputs

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `mode` | string | no | search | How to find listings: `search` uses a city or ZIP plus filters; `urls` uses the Apartments.com URLs you paste; `listingKeys` looks up the listing keys you paste. |
| `searchLocation` | string | no |  | US city and state (`New York, NY`) or 5-digit ZIP (`10001`). Used only in search mode. |
| `bedrooms` | string | no | any | Match listings with at least one floor plan of this bedroom count. |
| `bathrooms` | string | no | any | Match listings with a floor plan at or above this bathroom count. |
| `priceMin` | integer | no |  | Lowest monthly rent to include. Leave unset for no minimum. |

9 more optional fields on the Actor's Input tab.

Example (`references/example-input.json`):

```json
{
  "searchLocation": "New York, NY",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "maxPages": 1
}
```

The input passes the Actor's input schema (checked at every publish). First run: `maxItems` = 25, small enough for the 300-second sync wait; raise it once the rows look right.

## Run it

Set `APIFY_TOKEN`, then call the synchronous endpoint for small and medium runs (it waits up to 300 seconds):

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dataspryva~apartments-com-rental-listing-and-floor-plan/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @references/example-input.json > output.json
```

Or with Node 18+: `node scripts/run.mjs [input.json]`.

For large runs, start an async run and read its dataset when it finishes:

```bash
RUN=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dataspryva~apartments-com-rental-listing-and-floor-plan/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @references/example-input.json)
RUN_ID=$(echo "$RUN" | jq -r '.data.id'); DATASET=$(echo "$RUN" | jq -r '.data.defaultDatasetId')
curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID?waitForFinish=60" -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.status'
curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/$DATASET/items?format=json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" > output.json
```

## Cost and limits

- Apify bills the Actor's usage on your account; the Actor's Pricing tab shows the current price.
- Keep the limit in the input small for a first run.

## Guardrails

- Public data only. Do not pass cookies, sessions or private account data.
- Do not use the output for spam, harassment or unlawful discrimination.
- Check the target site's terms and local law before running at scale.
