Borough
The missing NYC real estate API
What this is
A REST API and TypeScript SDK for NYC real-estate data — listings, building records, price history — with a free no-key tier and a hosted MCP server for AI agents.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- A REST API and TypeScript SDK for NYC real estate data — rental and sale listings, building records, neighborhood boundaries, price history and market snapshots, returned as JSON. Also ships a hosted MCP server so AI agents can query listings directly, plus signed webhooks, SSE streaming and OAuth.
- What's different
- Fills a gap where no official public API exists for NYC real estate listings.
- Pricing
- Free tier needs no API key for search, areas and market tools; paid plans add full listing/building detail, faster data freshness and higher limits.
- Best for
- Developers building applications or AI agents that need structured NYC real estate data.

No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.

Other. Launched 14d ago on Devhunt, picking up 3 votes. Today, it's been quiet for 14 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Devhunt with 3 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 3 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 15 olay var. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
