StreetEasy scraper for New York City apartments for rent and for sale across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, or one neighborhood such as Williamsburg. Each row has asking price, beds, baths, neighborhood, ZIP, brokerage name, and map coordinates. Use it as a StreetEasy API alternative from Python, Node.js, cURL, or Apify MCP. Results land in the default dataset as JSON.

Best for: rent and sale comps in one borough or neighborhood, and a scheduled check that saves only new listing ids.

When to use this Actor

• Borough or neighborhood — Set an area such as Brooklyn or Upper East Side and choose rent or sale.
• A filtered search you already built — Paste the search URL. Area fields are ignored when Start URLs is set.
• New-listing monitor — Schedule the same search. Later runs save listing ids that were not stored last time. A quiet tick writes zero rows.
• Price and brokerage from the card — Rent or sale price, beds, and the listing name are taken from the search result. This run does not open each property page.

When not to use this Actor

• US homes outside New York — For sold comps and ZIP searches on a national portal, use Realtor.com Scraper.
• Commercial property — For sale, lease, and auction cards, use LoopNet Scraper.
• Agent emails, phones, or a license database — Those are not on the search card. This Actor does not log in and does not open detail pages.
• A full NYC dump in one run — Cap maxItems. Split by borough or neighborhood.

Key features

})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

FAQ

Does this open every property page? No. Rows are the search cards: price, beds, neighborhood, and the name on the card. Phone and email are not on that card.

Why is a proxy required? The search page is denied from datacenter and ordinary residential IPs. The default proxy is Apify Unblocker in the US.

What does monitor mode skip? Listing ids already stored for that same search URL. Change the area or the transaction and it is a new cursor. A run with no new ids writes zero rows.

Which New York areas work? A borough such as Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, or Staten Island, or a neighborhood such as Upper East Side. A pasted for-rent or for-sale search URL keeps the filters already in that address.

Can I export rentals and sales? Yes. for-rent returns asking rent. for-sale returns asking sale price. Each saved row is one search card in the JSON dataset.
