For Agents

Manage Nextdoor ad campaigns with targeting, creatives, and reporting, publish and edit neighborhood posts, and search local content by location across 27 endpoints.

Connect the Nextdoor API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Nextdoor API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Nextdoor API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Nextdoor API provides access to advertising campaign management, content publishing on local neighborhoods, and local content discovery across posts, events, businesses, and marketplace items. The Advertising API covers advertiser accounts, campaign lifecycle management, ad groups with geographic and demographic targeting, creative management with media uploads, custom audience creation, and campaign reporting. The Content Publishing API enables third-party apps to post, edit, and comment on Nextdoor on behalf of users. The Content Display API provides location-based search across posts, events, businesses, marketplace listings, trending content, and public agency feeds.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Nextdoor API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Hyperlocal Advertising Campaigns

Launch neighborhood-level advertising campaigns targeting specific zip codes, cities, or radii around business locations. Create an advertiser account via POST /advertiser/create, define a campaign with objective and budget via POST /campaign/create, then configure ad groups with POST /adgroup/create specifying zip-code-level targeting, age ranges, interests, and device types. Upload creative assets (images, videos, logos) with the /media endpoints, attach them to ad groups via POST /creative/create, and monitor campaign performance with POST /reporting/create. Integration time for direct Nextdoor ad management is 2-3 days for auth, campaign setup, and reporting pipelines. Through Jentic: under 1 hour.

Create an advertiser with POST /advertiser/create, create a campaign with budget $500 for the next 30 days via POST /campaign/create, create an ad group targeting zip codes 94102, 94103 with age range 25-45 via POST /adgroup/create, and verify the campaign is active

Local Business Content Distribution

Automate content publishing to Nextdoor neighborhoods for local businesses, community organizations, or government agencies. Authenticate via OAuth, retrieve user profile and neighborhood access with GET /me and GET /me/profiles, then publish posts with text, images, and links via POST /post/create. Edit existing posts with POST /post/edit, respond to neighbors with POST /comment/create, and remove outdated content with POST /post/delete. This API is suitable for businesses with physical locations that want to share updates, promotions, or event announcements directly to the neighborhoods they serve.

Use GET /me/profiles to retrieve accessible neighborhoods, then POST /post/create with body text announcing a local event and a link, and verify the post was created successfully

Local Content Discovery and Monitoring

Search and retrieve Nextdoor content for competitive intelligence, community sentiment analysis, or local market research. Query posts by keyword and location with GET /search/posts, discover local events with GET /search/events, find businesses near a lat/lng coordinate with GET /search/businesses, and browse marketplace listings with GET /search/marketplace. Retrieve trending posts by city or state with GET /trending/posts, or monitor public agency feeds with GET /agency/feed. All search endpoints accept latitude/longitude or city/state parameters for geographic filtering, making it possible to track conversations, sentiment, and activity in specific neighborhoods or metropolitan areas.

Use GET /search/posts with query='community garden' and lat/lng for a specific neighborhood to find relevant discussions, then GET /trending/posts with city='Seattle' to see trending local content

Automated Campaign Reporting and Optimization

Generate ad performance reports on demand or on a recurring schedule to track impression volume, click-through rates, conversions, and cost-per-action across Nextdoor campaigns. POST /reporting/create with advertiser_id, report_type, and date range for one-off reports, or POST /reporting/schedule with a cron-style schedule for recurring delivery. Integrate these reports into broader marketing dashboards or feed them to an optimization agent that adjusts bids, pauses underperforming ad groups, or reallocates budget across campaigns. Combined with POST /campaign/status/update and POST /adgroup/update, this enables closed-loop campaign management.

POST /reporting/create with advertiser_id and report_type='campaign_performance' for the last 7 days, retrieve the results, then POST /campaign/status/update to pause campaigns with CTR below 0.5 percent

AI Agent for Nextdoor Ad and Content Management

Let an AI agent handle common Nextdoor marketing tasks — launching a hyperlocal ad campaign, posting an announcement to neighborhoods, generating a weekly performance report, or searching for trending topics in a target market. Through Jentic, the agent searches by intent like 'create a nextdoor ad campaign' or 'post to nextdoor neighborhood', loads only the relevant endpoints and schemas, and executes with the OAuth token or bearer JWT securely isolated in the Jentic vault. The agent never sees the raw credential, and teams avoid the 2-3 day integration lift required for direct Nextdoor API usage.

Use the Jentic search query 'create a nextdoor ad campaign' to find POST /campaign/create, load its schema, and execute with advertiser_id, campaign name, objective='awareness', and budget=$300

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Nextdoor API uses OAuth 2.0 for content publishing and bearer JWT for advertising operations. Jentic stores these tokens encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injects them as the Authorization header at execution time. Agents receive scoped operation schemas without ever accessing raw credentials.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent such as 'create a nextdoor ad campaign' or 'post to neighborhood'. Jentic returns matching operations (POST /campaign/create, POST /post/create) with their input schemas and targeting options, so the agent can execute the right endpoint without manual API documentation review.

Time to first call

Direct Nextdoor API integration requires 2-3 days for OAuth setup, webhook handling for content moderation, and campaign reporting pipelines. Through Jentic: under 1 hour. Search for the operation, load the schema, and execute with structured input.

FAQs

Specific to using Nextdoor API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Nextdoor API?

Nextdoor does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Nextdoor API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Nextdoor API use?

The Nextdoor API supports OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow for user-authorized actions like posting content, and bearer JWT tokens for advertising operations. Through Jentic, credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so tokens never enter the agent's context.

Can I target Nextdoor ads by zip code through the API?

Yes. The targeting configuration in POST /adgroup/create includes geo.zip_codes, geo.cities, geo.states, and geo.radius_miles for location-based targeting. You can also filter by demographics (age, gender), devices (desktop, mobile, tablet), and custom interests.

What are the rate limits for the Nextdoor API?

The Nextdoor API rate limits are not documented in the OpenAPI spec. Refer to the Nextdoor developer documentation at https://developer.nextdoor.com for current limits, which vary by endpoint category (advertising, content publishing, content display). Implement exponential backoff for 429 responses.

How do I create a Nextdoor ad campaign through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create a nextdoor ad campaign' to find POST /campaign/create. Load the schema, then execute with advertiser_id (from POST /advertiser/create), campaign name, objective (awareness, consideration, conversion), budget, start_time, and end_time. Jentic injects the OAuth or bearer token automatically.

Is the Nextdoor API free?

Nextdoor provides API access for approved partners and advertisers. Advertising API access typically requires a business relationship or minimum ad spend commitment. Content Publishing and Content Display APIs may be available to verified local businesses and organizations. Contact Nextdoor developer support for access approval.

Can I search for local events with the Nextdoor API?

Yes. Use GET /search/events with query text and lat/lng coordinates to find local events posted on Nextdoor near a specific location. This is part of the Content Display API and does not require user authentication if the events are publicly accessible.
