How the Data Extraction Works

Our extraction process to scrape RentCafe data is built around your needs — no generic feeds or scraped noise. We target listings based on your chosen criteria: city, property type, rent range, amenities, or availability. ScrapeIt handles parsing, cleanup, and formatting, so you receive clear, filtered data aligned with your rental market goals.

What We Extract from RentCafe

ScrapeIt helps you scrape RentCafe data in full detail — not just rent and location. We gather a complete snapshot of each listing, capturing the full address (including ZIP code and coordinates), monthly pricing with any promotional rates, and comprehensive unit specs like square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and floor plan type.

Beyond that, we collect interior features such as washer/dryer setups, balcony access, smart tech, and flooring. Each listing includes rich media — from high-resolution photos to video tours and 3D walkthroughs.

Community-level data is also part of the package: amenities like fitness centers, pools, EV charging, pet areas, and package lockers are all tracked. We extract current availability, upcoming move-in dates, and lease conditions.

Resident-generated content, like star ratings and written reviews by category, adds valuable qualitative insight. You’ll also receive cost-related fields, including deposits, pet fees, and application charges — all structured and export-ready for analysis.

Beyond Listings: How Our RentCafe Scraper Reveals What Renters Actually Care About

With RentCafe, the real story often lives in the extras — and our RentCafe scraper captures them. We extract user-focused details like “Top Rated Communities,” properties tagged as “New Listing” or “Limited Availability,” and filters for pet policies, smoke-free units, or wheelchair accessibility. We also track unit-level availability status, specials like “1 month free,” and engagement signals such as the number of floor plans viewed or saved.

By going beyond standard fields, we help clients monitor what truly drives renter interest — including lifestyle alignment, urgency cues, and policy-related preferences often missed in traditional datasets.

About RentCafe

Rentcafe.com, developed by Yardi Systems, is a key player in the North American rental market — offering a seamless experience for anyone searching for an apartment, townhouse, or single-family home in the U.S. or Canada. Listings come straight from verified property managers, with up-to-date pricing, floor plan availability, and the ability to connect directly without registration.

What makes the platform particularly effective is its blend of simplicity and depth: renters can filter by pet-friendliness, lease length, accessibility, and amenities like in-unit laundry or EV charging. Budget-conscious users benefit from built-in affordability tools and neighborhood-level insights, while side-by-side comparison features help narrow down options fast.

RentCafe also serves current residents through its built-in tenant portal, streamlining rent payments, maintenance requests, and amenity reservations — all from one dashboard. For property teams, it provides a digital bridge between marketing and leasing operations. Whether you're moving across town or across the country, the platform delivers a data-rich, renter-first experience that supports every step of the leasing journey.

Test data ?"Data example" is a pre-generated dataset, usually not up-to-date, intended to showcase what parameters can be scraped, its format, final file structure, etc. It is refreshed once a quarter and provided "as-is". The cost is not subtracted from the first month's fee.

"Sample dataset" is a bespoke, freshly scraped subset comprising up to 10% of the anticipated data volume. It's fully customized to meet clients' requirements and formatting needs. The sample dataset is included in most plans, with its cost deducted from the first month's fee.
