## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured apartment listing data from Apartments.com specifically, searched by city and state. It is pay-per-call with no charge for failed or empty runs, making it low-risk for exploratory queries. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when you need clean, schema-consistent property records (name, URL, location) without building your own scraper. Best suited for city-level rental research, relocation assistance, or real estate market aggregation.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid city/state format (e.g. ZIP codes or street addresses not supported) may return empty results
- No listings found for an obscure or misspelled city returns count 0 with empty items array (not charged)
- startUrls with price or bedroom filters may not be supported and could yield no results
- Rate limiting or blocking by the target site may cause empty or partial results (not charged if empty)
- Network timeouts on slow scrapes may return incomplete data

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of results and an array of property items, each containing: id, url, city, state, propertyName, and sitemapLastModified. The product field identifies the scraper used ('apartments'). Only successful, non-empty runs are charged.
