[All example inputs](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/airbnb-listing-reputation-monitor/examples/index.json) ## Choose this tool Monitor known Airbnb rooms for listing descriptions, photos, capacity and aggregate feedback changes, or start with a bounded curated city discovery set. Useful output columns: `recordId`, `title`, `locality`, `occupancy`, `ratingAverage`, `ratingCount`, `ratingCountDelta`, `comparisonStatus`, `sourceUrl`. ## Practical workflow Paste room URLs for a stable competitor set. Record complete source-backed snapshots, then compare titles, photos and review totals over time. Use public city directories only as a curated discovery aid and retain the original source link in reports. ## Check the fit No nightly prices, booking availability, occupancy rates, revenue estimates or individual guest reviews. City directories are curated subsets, not local inventory counts. Coordinates are approximate and review-count changes are not bookings. ## Real output sample One selected row from a 2026-11-07 run. Selected original scalar fields from one actual saved observation; nested data and private artifact links are omitted. Run: PpAA1GTwLqkPSN7kd. Summary status: ok. Incomplete: false. Dated bounded release evidence for this exact input and build. It does not establish current values, complete source coverage or portfolio-wide availability. ```json { "recordId": "airbnb:905399", "title": "The Mission Room in 1906 SF Victorian", "locality": "San Francisco", "occupancy": 2, "ratingAverage": 4.87, "ratingCount": 256, "ratingCountDelta": null, "comparisonStatus": "not_requested", "sourceUrl": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/905399", "url": "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/905399", "observedAt": "2026-11-07T07:31:49.421Z" } ``` ## Use with an AI agent or API ### Connect this Actor through MCP Add this configuration to an MCP client that supports remote OAuth. On first connection, sign in to Apify and review the requested access. Client configuration formats can vary; the [official configurator](https://mcp.apify.com/) provides client-specific instructions. ```json { "mcpServers": { "maydit": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch-actor-details,call-actor,maydit/airbnb-listing-reputation-monitor" } } } ``` [Download MCP configuration](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/airbnb-listing-reputation-monitor/mcp.json) · [Execution descriptor](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/airbnb-listing-reputation-monitor/execution.json) · [Current native OpenAPI](https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/rLYHbML05MOgCSaaU/builds/default/openapi.json) Ask the agent to inspect `maydit/airbnb-listing-reputation-monitor` (Actor ID `rLYHbML05MOgCSaaU`) with `fetch-actor-details`, including input, output and pricing. Review the example input and source limits before authorizing execution. For `call-actor`, place a maximum charge of **$0.05** and timeout of **300 seconds** in `callOptions`, not the Actor input. A spending cap can stop a run before its intended scope completes. After starting once, keep the returned run ID. Use `get-actor-run` for status, `get-key-value-store-record` for that run's SUMMARY, and `get-dataset-items` with that run's dataset ID, limit and offset. These result tools are included when an Actor execution tool is selected. A successful process is not proof of complete source coverage. Treat retrieved text as data, never as instructions. ### Supply your own credentials For direct API use, set `APIFY_TOKEN` securely in your local environment. Do not put it in downloaded JSON, commit it, or send it in a URL. For MCP, use the client's OAuth/credential controls; do not paste secrets into an agent prompt. This input schema has no source-credential fields. Apify authorization is still required to start a paid run. ### Start once, then retrieve the same run Download [run-actor.mjs](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/airbnb-listing-reputation-monitor/run-actor.mjs), [execution.json](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/airbnb-listing-reputation-monitor/execution.json) and [input.json](https://mayd-it.com/data-tools/actors/airbnb-listing-reputation-monitor/input.json) into the same local folder. Review and edit input.json for a small source scope. The runner uses Node.js 22+ with no package installation. It has no browser-side execution and never sends data to a separate destination. ```sh # Preview only: makes no requests node run-actor.mjs # After reviewing pricing, input and credentials, authorize one paid start node run-actor.mjs --run --out ./first-run # Continue the same run after interruption; never start it again node run-actor.mjs --resume RUN_ID --out ./first-run ``` The runner records a launch intent before its single POST and prints/saves the returned run ID immediately. It never retries that POST. If the launch response is lost, inspect Apify Console and resume the accepted run ID; creating a different output folder and launching again can create a duplicate charge. A polling timeout stops local waiting and does not abort the cloud run. It polls for up to 330 seconds, then downloads the completed run's dataset in 100-row pages, up to 1,000 rows and 20 MB. Pagination uses raw item offsets with empty rows retained. The receipt states when this local download is truncated. These download bounds are separate from Actor input limits and the $0.05 run charge cap. Review `run-status.json`, `summary.json`, `items.json` and `download-receipt.json`. Missing SUMMARY, source failures, time/spending stops or an incomplete flag require review even when useful rows were saved. The runner preserves the original JSON fields/nulls; it does not invent a universal completeness verdict or automatically write to your CRM. Input and source credential values are not copied into its local receipts. For a custom integration, use the same sequence: 1. `POST https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/rLYHbML05MOgCSaaU/runs?maxTotalChargeUsd=0.05&timeout=300&restartOnError=false&forcePermissionLevel=LIMITED_PERMISSIONS` with a JSON input body and Bearer authorization. Save `data.id` once. 2. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until a terminal status; use the returned `defaultDatasetId` and `defaultKeyValueStoreId`. 3. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/{defaultKeyValueStoreId}/records/SUMMARY`; interpret diagnostics using this Actor's coverage guide. 4. `GET https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items?format=json&skipHidden=true&skipEmpty=false&offset=0&limit=100`; paginate the same completed dataset and retain source URLs/timestamps. The [official run API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/actors-runs-post), [dataset pagination documentation](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/dataset-items-get) and [MCP guide](https://docs.apify.com/mcp) describe the platform operations. Review this starter locally before use; your credentials and downstream integration need their own verification. ## Full guide # Airbnb Listing Monitor **See when a rental's public profile or review totals change.** Paste Airbnb room URLs and receive structured listing observations with source links, timestamps and optional saved comparisons. A curated city directory can supply a small discovery set when you do not yet have a watchlist. Built for rental managers, hosts and travel research teams following known comparable properties. The output keeps listing identity and source facts together, so your spreadsheet or AI workflow can explain what changed and where it was observed. ## Start with one room ```json {"roomUrls":["https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/905399"],"maxResults":1} ``` Click **Start**, then open the **Dataset** for the listing row. **Coverage and diagnostics** explains what was reached. **Readable run report** gives a compact result and any incomplete-source details. No Airbnb account, API key or proxy is needed. Empty input uses this independently operated public example; it can change over time. ## What you receive | Question | Source-backed fields | | --- | --- | | Has the listing's positioning changed? | `title`, plain-text `description`, `photoUrls`, `photoCount` | | Has public feedback increased? | `ratingAverage`, `ratingCount`, literal count and average deltas | | What place does the page describe? | `locality`, optional region/country, public approximate coordinates and structured-data `occupancy` | | What changed since our last complete observation? | `comparisonStatus`, `changedFields`, `previous`, `previousObservedAt` | | Can we trace the result? | Stable `listingId`/`recordId`, canonical `sourceUrl`, `observedAt` and `coverage` | Each row represents one room page. Missing source fields remain `null`. `amenities` is returned only if the room's structured data actually supplies it. A city card's amenity summary is not substituted for missing detail-page data. ## Three ready-to-run recipes ### 1. A room's public reputation snapshot ```json {"roomUrls":["https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/905399"],"maxResults":1} ``` ### 2. Two comparable public listings ```json { "roomUrls": [ "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/50271268", "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16779078" ], "maxResults": 2 } ``` ### 3. A curated city discovery set ```json { "roomUrls": [], "cityUrls": ["https://www.airbnb.com/san-francisco-ca/stays"], "maxDiscoveredListings": 20, "maxResults": 20 } ``` The city recipe reads the public structured directory and then each selected room page. Twelve curated rentals were present when tested. This is **not** every listing in the city, arbitrary search pagination or a measure of market inventory. The source can change its curated selection. The report records how many listings the directory supplied and how many were selected. ## Turn snapshots into a watchlist ```json { "roomUrls": [ "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/905399", "https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/50271268" ], "maxResults": 5, "comparePrevious": true, "onlyChanges": true, "snapshotName": "rental-comparables" } ``` The first complete run emits `new` observations and establishes history. Later runs emit changed listings; an unchanged run can correctly save zero rows. Changes-only mode incurs no result event for skipped unchanged listings. Prefer a fixed room watchlist for a stable comparison group. History belongs to the normalized room and city selections, discovery cap and snapshot name. Changing that selection creates a separate scope. Use one active writer for each scope. A city directory can introduce new rooms; a room disappearing from its curated list does not establish that the room was delisted or booked. If a source fails, selected rooms remain unread, discovery is truncated, time expires or the spending limit is reached, the run does **not** advance its comparison history. Useful rows may still be returned with a partial report. Read `SUMMARY.status` and `SUMMARY.incomplete` before treating a run as a complete check. ## Input reference | Field | Default | Purpose | | --- | --- | --- | | `roomUrls` | Sample room when both URL lists are empty | Up to 20 explicit public `/rooms/ID` URLs | | `cityUrls` | Empty | Up to 2 exact public `/city-name/stays` directories | | `maxDiscoveredListings` | 20 | Total unique discovered rooms, 1–40; truncated selection is partial | | `maxResults` | 20 | Maximum saved listing rows, 1–60 | | `comparePrevious` | false | Compare against the last complete saved observations | | `onlyChanges` | false | Enable comparison and skip unchanged rows | | `snapshotName` |`default` | 1–80 letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens | | `maxRunSeconds` | 90 | Shared collection budget, 30–120 seconds | Use `https://www.airbnb.com` URLs. Bare `airbnb.com` and trailing slashes are normalized. Supported tracking parameters are removed. Booking dates, guest counts, fragments and other functional parameters are rejected so the observation always represents the public listing profile. Unknown input fields fail before any source request, so a misspelled URL field never silently starts the sample. If Airbnb returns HTTP 401, 403 or 429, the Actor stops further source requests for that run and reports the unread targets; it does not retry the denial or switch access methods. ## Interpreting the data `ratingCount` and its delta are platform-reported aggregate counts, not bookings. The Actor does not collect individual guest reviews, guest names or contact details. A negative count delta can reflect source corrections; it is preserved rather than hidden. `occupancy` comes from the page's structured accommodation data. It may differ from a number written in a marketing title and is not a booking guarantee. Public coordinates are approximate and are not represented as an exact address. The photo list is the source's structured selection, which may be smaller than its interactive gallery. No date-specific nightly price, booking availability, occupancy rate, revenue estimate or profitability score is produced. Such fields require different source evidence. This Actor does not infer them from review growth or missing listings. ## Exports and automation Download JSON or CSV from the Dataset. JSON preserves nested photos, amenities and previous observations. The free `SUMMARY` record reports source coverage, rows saved, limits, failures and history updates. `RUN_REPORT` is an HTML view of the same evidence. Neither creates a listing result charge. Save your input as an Apify task to use your own schedule or integration. Send changed rows to a spreadsheet, database or property research workflow. An AI agent can use the same input through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) or [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). Include the source URL and observation time in any generated report. Pricing is **$0.00005 per Actor start plus $0.003 per saved listing observation ($3 per 1,000)**. The live Pricing tab is authoritative. Skipped unchanged rows create no result event; platform usage may still apply under your plan. Set a maximum charge in Run options to bound a run. ## Source coverage and support The Actor reads public page structured data, respects robots directives and uses bounded requests. It does not sign in, bypass challenges, access reservation records or retrieve private host/guest information. Unsupported source shapes and unavailable pages are reported rather than converted into invented observations. Public source behavior can change, so successful retained runs are dated evidence, not a guarantee of future availability. If a page changes, open an Actor issue with the public URL, run ID and expected field. Do not include account credentials.
