On SpecStream you write the rows you need, including conditions no field holds: "short term rental managers in Lisbon with 10 or more Airbnb listings, with their website and a published business email". SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit, the conditions every row must meet and the facts to bring back, then returns one row per match. ### One record per host, with the contact they published A listing record stops at the listing. On SpecStream facts from the listing, the host's own site and its other pages join into one record, so a row can carry the manager's website and the business email it published, each with the page it was read on and the time. An email costs 5¢ on top of the row and a phone 15¢, and only when the row carries it. ### Scheduled delivery, with every change labeled Bright Data delivers the Airbnb dataset one time, bi-annually, quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily, up to 80% off on monthly plans, and its smart updates send only New Records or Updated Records. A saved SpecStream request reruns hourly to yearly and labels each row changed, unchanged or no longer matching, so a listing that leaves your price range comes back marked. A changed or new row costs half its rate (3¢, 8¢ or 50¢) and an unchanged row 1¢. New matches land in Slack, email, Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce or a signed webhook. ### Start with $10, not a $250 order Bright Data's smallest Airbnb order is the 100K record tier at $250. SpecStream starts with $10 of credit on sign-up, no card: 200 rows at 5¢. Duplicates, rows you already own and rows a page contradicts are not charged, and what a run does not use goes back to your balance. ### From your agent, too Connect the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp` and your agent asks for listings or hosts in the same words, sees the price, and gets the rows with their sources once you approve. The same balance pays for the Search API at $5 per 1,000 searches and the Extract API at $0.80 per 1,000 pages. ## Other Airbnb data options ### Apify Airbnb Scraper An Apify Actor that reads Airbnb stays by city or search at $0.40 per 1,000 listings on every plan, with an incremental mode that emits only new, updated or reappeared listings on later runs. It returns listing records. SpecStream joins the host's own site and contact into the row. ### AirROI Short term rental data for 20M+ properties: monthly bulk files by market in CSV, JSON or Parquet, and an API from $0.01 a call with no monthly commitment. It answers market questions. SpecStream returns the listings and hosts that meet your conditions, as rows in your own tools. ### Bright Data Airbnb Reviews The same page sells an Airbnb Reviews dataset with guest reviews, category ratings, host ratings and Superhost status. On SpecStream the facts you ask for, the rating and review count included, come in the same row as the listing and its host. [SpecStream vs Bright Data](https://specstream.ai/alternatives/brightdata?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=airbnb-dataset) compares the rest of the marketplace. ## How to get your Airbnb data from SpecStream Write the listings or hosts you want in plain words, in place of the dataset you would order. Sign up and you get $10 of credit, no card. At 5¢ a row, that is up to 200 rows. Or send the request from code. This call spends nothing: the `402` reply shows how SpecStream read the request, the columns and the most it can cost. ``` curl -i https://api.specstream.ai/v1/agent/lists \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"request": "Short term rental managers in Lisbon with 10 or more Airbnb listings, with their website and a published business email", "count": 25}' ``` Approve that maximum by card through Stripe's Link agent wallet, or in USDC, and you pay for the rows found. On an account, your agent uses the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp` and your team uses the workspace, from the same balance. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does an Airbnb dataset cost?
