# StreetEasy Rentals Scraper (`moving_beacon-owner1/streeteasy-rentals-scraper`) Actor StreetEasy Rentals Scraper extracts NYC rental listings from StreetEasy search pages, collecting prices, addresses, beds, baths, property details, listing links, and images. It supports automatic pagination and exports structured rental data to the Apify dataset. - **URL**: https://apify.com/moving\_beacon-owner1/streeteasy-rentals-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Jamshaid Arif](https://apify.com/moving_beacon-owner1) (community) - **Categories:** Automation, Real estate, Travel - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $10.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## StreetEasy Rentals Scraper (Apify Actor) Scrapes NYC rental listings from StreetEasy search pages . Parses StreetEasy's server-rendered listing cards, paginates automatically, and pushes structured records to the dataset. Pair with a residential proxy for PerimeterX. ### What it collects Per listing: `address`, `price`, `beds`, `baths`, `sqft`, `neighborhood`, `propertyType`, `listingBy`, `sponsored` (bool), `url`, `listingId`, `imageUrl`, plus `sourceUrl` and `scrapedAt` (UTC ISO). ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `startUrls` | array of URLs | NYC for-rent | StreetEasy search URLs. Copy from a real search. | | `maxItems` | integer | 200 | Cap across all searches. | | `maxPages` | integer | 5 | Pages to paginate per search (stops early at last page). | | `impersonate` | string | `chrome` | curl_cffi fingerprint (e.g. `chrome124`). | | `maxRetries` | integer | 2 | Retries (rotating proxy) on a block. | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | 25 | Per-request timeout. | | `requestDelaySecs` | integer | 3 | Pause between page requests. | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Apify RESIDENTIAL | Strongly recommended (PerimeterX). | #### Example input ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://streeteasy.com/for-rent/nyc" }], "maxItems": 200, "maxPages": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` #### Example output item ```json { "address": "59 Devoe Street #1", "price": 5150, "beds": 2, "baths": 1, "sqft": 850, "neighborhood": null, "propertyType": "Rental unit", "listingBy": "Greystar", "sponsored": false, "url": "https://streeteasy.com/building/.../1", "listingId": null, "imageUrl": "https://photos.streeteasy.com/...", "sourceUrl": "https://streeteasy.com/for-rent/nyc", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-28T19:05:00+00:00" } ``` # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): StreetEasy for-rent search URLs, e.g. https://streeteasy.com/for-rent/nyc or a filtered search. Run a search on streeteasy.com and copy the URL. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listings to collect across all searches. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): How many result pages to paginate per search URL (via ?page=N). Stops early at the last page. ## `impersonate` (type: `string`): curl\_cffi impersonation target. 'chrome' picks a recent Chrome; you can pin e.g. 'chrome124'. ## `maxRetries` (type: `integer`): How many times to retry (rotating proxy) when a request is blocked/empty. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Per-request timeout. ## `requestDelaySecs` (type: `integer`): Pause between page requests/retries to stay polite. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL strongly recommended — StreetEasy runs PerimeterX and will block datacenter IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://streeteasy.com/for-rent/nyc" } ], "maxItems": 200, "maxPages": 5, "impersonate": "chrome", "maxRetries": 2, "requestTimeoutSecs": 25, "requestDelaySecs": 3, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://streeteasy.com/for-rent/nyc" } ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/streeteasy-rentals-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
