What does Nextdoor Public City Scraper do?

This Actor extracts structured place-level data from public Nextdoor city pages such as city metadata, FAQs, neighborhood links, business directory links, local group summaries, resource links, and city statistics.

Use it when you need a repeatable way to collect public city information from Nextdoor for research, market analysis, local discovery, or downstream workflows. On Apify, you also get API access, scheduling, monitoring, integrations, dataset exports, and run history.

Why use Nextdoor Public City Scraper?

Nextdoor city pages expose useful public information even without logging in: city descriptions, resident counts, affordability and friendliness indicators, FAQ content, neighborhood discovery links, and directory-style public resources. This Actor turns those public signals into structured JSON so they are easier to search, analyze, and connect to other systems.

Typical use cases:

1. Build local market or neighborhood discovery datasets.
2. Track public city-page changes over time.
3. Feed public place metadata into internal search, analytics, or enrichment pipelines.
4. Export public links for additional compliant processing.

How to use Nextdoor Public City Scraper

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. In the Input tab, add one or more public Nextdoor URLs, ideally city pages such as https://nextdoor.com/city/north-miami--fl/.
3. Set crawl limits such as maxRequestsPerCrawl, maxConcurrency, and maxItemsPerSection.
4. Run the Actor and inspect the dataset output.

The Actor is intentionally designed for public pages only. If Nextdoor responds with a login wall, verification step, or other access restriction, the Actor records that state instead of trying to circumvent it.

Input

Configure the Actor in the Input tab.

{
"startUrls":[
{"url":"https://nextdoor.com/city/north-miami--fl/"}
],
"downloadStartUrlsToHtmlSources":false,
"downloadedHtmlDirectory":"storage/html_sources/default",
"maxRequestsPerCrawl":10,
"maxConcurrency":2,
"maxItemsPerSection":25,
"followNeighborhoodPages":false,
"followBusinessDirectoryPages":false,
"followAdditionalResourcePages":false,
"saveHtmlSnapshots":false,
"htmlSnapshotKeyPrefix":"HTML"
}

Main input fields

Use one entry per URL. This is correct:

"startUrls":[
{"url":"https://nextdoor.com/city/bellaire--oh/"},
{"url":"https://nextdoor.com/city/bellbrook--oh/"},
{"url":"https://nextdoor.com/city/belle-center--oh/"}
]

Do not put multiple "url" keys inside one object. In JSON, duplicate keys are overwritten and only the last one survives.

Output

The Actor stores one dataset item per parsed page.

{
"url":"https://nextdoor.com/city/north-miami--fl/",
"finalUrl":"https://nextdoor.com/city/north-miami--fl/",
"pageType":"city",
"title":"North Miami, Florida | Nextdoor",
"description":"Public city summary extracted from Nextdoor.",
"cityName":"North Miami",
"state":"FL",
"residentsCount":59854,
"neighborhoodCount":26,
"businessDirectoryCount":54,
"faqCount":7,
"accessStatus":"public",
"faqs":[
{
"question":"What is the population of North Miami?",
"answer":"According to US Census Data, there are 59,854 residents in North Miami."
}
],
"neighborhoods":[
{
"title":"128th St",
"url":"https://nextdoor.com/neighborhood/128thst--north-miami--fl/",
"pageType":"neighborhood"
}
]
}

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.
