🎬 Quick Start

Three inputs, no coding:

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sian.agency~streeteasy-property-scraper/runs?token=[YOUR_TOKEN]' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"searchMode":"borough","borough":"Manhattan","listingType":"sale","maxResults":50}'

---

🚀 Getting Started (3 Simple Steps)

Step 1: Pick Sale, Rent, or Both

Set listingType to sale, rent, or both. Both runs each query twice (PAID — doubles the query count).

Step 2: Pick Your Location

Either set searchMode: "borough" and pick one of the five NYC boroughs, or set searchMode: "area" and pass a StreetEasy neighborhood ID (e.g. 302 for Williamsburg).

Step 3: Run & Export

Hit Run. Listings stream into the dataset; an HTML market report lands in the key-value store. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

That's it! In under 2 minutes you'll have:

• Complete listings with address, specs, pricing, photos, geo
• Auto-calculated price/sqft per listing
• Market-level KPIs (median price, distribution, area + type breakdowns)
• A polished HTML market summary

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this cover rentals? A: Yes — set listingType: "rent" for rentals only, or listingType: "both" (PAID) to scrape sale + rent in a single run.

Q: How many listings can I extract? A: FREE tier: 25 per run. PAID tier: unlimited. Each query auto-paginates up to 5 pages (~250 listings).

Q: Why does pricePerSqft come back null on some rentals? A: StreetEasy rental records often omit square footage. We only compute price/sqft when the listing reports usable sqft.

Q: Do you cover boroughs outside Manhattan? A: Yes — all 5 boroughs plus 340+ named neighborhoods. Use searchMode: "borough" for whole-borough sweeps or searchMode: "area" with a neighborhood ID for granular targeting.

Q: What output formats are available? A: JSON, CSV, Excel — exported directly from the Apify dataset.

Q: How long does a run take? A: Roughly 1–2 seconds per 50 listings, plus ~200ms per listing if school enrichment is enabled.

Q: Is this legal? A: We only extract publicly available listings from StreetEasy. See the legal section below.

🐛 Troubleshooting

"Area ID not found" error

• Confirm the ID exists. Common IDs: 100=Manhattan, 200=Bronx, 300=Brooklyn, 302=Williamsburg, 319=Park Slope, 400=Queens, 500=Staten Island.
• Use searchMode: "borough" if you only want a whole-borough sweep.

listingType: "both" rejected

• both runs each query twice and requires PAID. Use sale or rent on FREE tier.

No school data on a listing

• Not all properties have nearby school records. Schools require includeSchools: true on PAID tier.

FREE tier hit at 25 listings

• That's the FREE cap. Upgrade for unlimited.
