3 Scraping Modes

Mode 1: Public Pages (NO AUTH — always works)

Scrape Nextdoor /pages/ business profile URLs directly. These are public pages with JSON-LD structured data — no login required.

{
  "businessPageUrls": [
    "https://nextdoor.com/pages/motz-plumbing-north-miami-fl/",
    "https://nextdoor.com/pages/spark-electric-miami-beach-fl/"
  ]
}

How to find /pages/ URLs: Search Google for site:nextdoor.com/pages/ "plumber" "Miami" — or use Mode 2 to automate this.

Mode 2: Google Discovery (NO AUTH)

Automatically discovers Nextdoor business pages by searching Google for your terms + city. Then scrapes each discovered /pages/ URL.

{
  "searchTerms": ["plumber", "electrician", "landscaper"],
  "city": "Miami, FL"
}

Note: Google SERP discovery uses apify~google-search-scraper which bills separately (~$0.004/query from your Apify balance).

Mode 3: Authenticated (Session Cookies)

Use your Nextdoor session cookies to access authenticated content: neighborhood recommendations, posts, events, and full reviews.

{
  "sessionCookies": "[paste your cookie JSON here]",
  "neighborhoods": ["miami-beach-fl", "coral-gables-fl"],
  "scrapeType": "recommendations"
}

How to get session cookies:

1. Install the Cookie-Editor browser extension (Chrome / Firefox)
2. Log into nextdoor.com in your browser
3. Click the Cookie-Editor icon
4. Click Export (copies JSON to clipboard)
5. Paste into the sessionCookies field

Cookies typically last 2-4 weeks before expiring.
