Dubizzle Scraper: UAE Property, Motors and Agent Listings

Dubizzle Scraper turns dubizzle.com into structured data across the United Arab Emirates: property for sale, property for rent, used cars (motors) and the property agents directory. Get price, beds, baths, area, GPS coordinates, verification status, and full agent, agency and contact details on every card, plus an optional detail pass for the complete description, categorized amenities, photo gallery and Dubai Land Department transaction history. Search by city and filters, or paste any Dubizzle URL you already refined in a browser, then export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull results straight into your app through the API.

Why This Scraper?

• Four sections, one actor. Property for sale, property for rent, motors and the agents directory, across all eight UAE city slugs the site serves.
• Two ways in. Search mode builds the URL from city, price, bedrooms, area, furnishing, completion status and sort, so you don't craft links by hand. URL mode takes any Dubizzle link you already refined in a browser.
• Nothing dropped by default. Every card already returns the full nested agent, agency and contact objects, plus geocoded coordinates, even without the detail pass.
• Optional detail mode. Adds the full description, categorized amenities, agent email, permit numbers, the full photo gallery and, for Dubai property, Dubai Land Department transaction history. Billed when you turn it on, or when you paste a single listing URL in URL mode, which always returns the full detail record.
• One predictable cap. Max listings, not a page limit, decides run size and cost.
• Resumable and checkpointed runs. Point Resume at a previous run to collect only what it doesn't already have, and a run that gets restarted by the platform continues on its own instead of starting over.
• Incremental mode for recurring monitoring. Schedule the same search and get back only what actually changed, with the state tracked for you between runs.

Use Cases

• Property portals and PropTech tools: mirror live for-sale and for-rent inventory with agent contact details already attached.
• Market and pricing research: track price, area and bedroom mix across UAE cities and neighborhoods over time.
• Used-car aggregation: pull motors listings for price comparison and inventory tracking.
• Agency and lead-generation tools: build a directory of agents and agencies with phone, WhatsApp and verification status.
• Change monitoring: schedule a recurring run and get notified only when new listings appear or a tracked listing's price or details change.

Data You Get

Sample shape: values are illustrative placeholders, not from a live listing. Every record also carries scrapedAt (when the row was fetched) and detailMissing (true only when detail mode was on and this one listing's detail fetch didn't land this run); both are bookkeeping fields, not listing content, so they aren't shown below.

Field	Example
id	"12345678"
url	"https://dubai.dubizzle.com/property-for-sale/residential/apartment/2026/1/1/sample-0/"
title	"Sample Listing Title"
price / currency	1500000 / "AED"
section	"property-for-sale"
categorySlug	"apartment"
bedrooms / bathrooms	2 / 2
area / areaUnit	1200 / "sqft"
city / neighborhood	"Dubai" / "Sample Community"
latitude / longitude	25.0000 / 55.0000
isVerified	true
agentName	"Agent Name"
agencyName	"Sample Agency"
phoneNumber / whatsapp	"+971500000000" / "+971500000000"
addedOn	1700000000
furnished / completionStatus	true / "completed"
propertyReference	"REF-0001"
hasDldHistory / photosCount	true / 12
raw	{ complete upstream listing object }
description	full text, detail mode only
amenities	categorized facility list, detail mode only
email	agent email, detail mode only
dldHistory	Dubai Land Department transactions, detail mode only, Dubai property only
changeType / changedFields	"NEW" / ["price"], incremental mode only
firstSeenAt / lastSeenAt	ISO timestamps, incremental mode only

Motors (used cars) and property agents directory results come through this same record shape. A motors record carries the same fields, with the property-only ones (bedrooms, bathrooms, area, completionStatus) empty; vehicle detail like make, model, mileage and year lives inside raw rather than a dedicated top-level field. A property agents record represents the agent's own profile card: agentName is the agent's own display name, phoneNumber and whatsapp are the agent's own numbers, and the property-specific fields are empty.

How to Use

1. Pick a mode: search (city and filters) or url (paste links).
2. For search mode, choose the city or cities, the section (property for sale, property for rent, motors, or agents) and any filters. For URL mode, paste one or more Dubizzle links.
3. Turn on Include listing details if you need the full description, amenities, email and photo gallery, and set Max listings to control run size and cost.
4. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

Search mode, basic:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "locations": ["dubai"],
  "section": "property-for-sale",
  "propertyType": "residential",
  "maxListings": 20
}

Search mode with filters and sort:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "locations": ["dubai", "abu-dhabi"],
  "section": "property-for-rent",
  "propertyType": "apartment",
  "minPrice": 50000,
  "maxPrice": 150000,
  "minBedrooms": 1,
  "maxBedrooms": 2,
  "furnishing": "furnished",
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxListings": 50
}

Motors (used cars):

{
  "mode": "search",
  "locations": ["dubai"],
  "section": "motors",
  "maxListings": 30
}

URL mode, multiple links, with detail mode on:

{
  "mode": "url",
  "urls": [
    "https://dubai.dubizzle.com/en/property-for-sale/residential/",
    "https://uae.dubizzle.com/en/property-agents/"
  ],
  "fetchDetails": true,
  "maxListings": 100
}

Run it from your code

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("abotapi/dubizzle-com-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "search",
    "locations": ["dubai"],
    "section": "property-for-sale",
    "maxListings": 20,
})
for listing in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(listing["title"], listing["price"], listing["currency"])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('abotapi/dubizzle-com-scraper').call({
  mode: 'search',
  locations: ['dubai'],
  section: 'property-for-sale',
  maxListings: 20,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or webhooks from the Integrations tab.

Detail mode and the listings cap

Max listings is the one cap that decides run size; Max pages is an optional extra bound on top of it, not a substitute for it, and can be left at 0 so each search walks as deep as the source allows on its own. Detail mode (fetchDetails) adds one extra fetch per listing and is billed as a per-item surcharge only for listings that actually reach the dataset, never for one an incremental run decides to suppress. A single listing URL pasted in URL mode is always fetched as a full detail record and always carries this surcharge, even with detail mode off. Include Dubai Land Department history only takes effect when detail mode is on and the listing is a Dubai property; it's ignored everywhere else.

Resume and incremental mode (recurring updates)

Resume (resumeFromRunId) continues one specific interrupted run: paste its run or dataset id and this run skips every listing already collected there, so a follow-up run plus the original together give you the full set without double charges. The actor also checkpoints its own progress automatically within a run, so a platform restart or a retry of a failed run picks up where it stopped instead of re-collecting anything.

Incremental mode (incrementalMode) is for a different job: scheduling the same search repeatedly and getting back only what changed. The actor remembers the previous run itself, keyed on your filters (or a State key you set, unaffected by Max pages/Max listings), and classifies every listing as NEW, UPDATED (with changedFields), UNCHANGED (skipped and not billed unless Emit unchanged is on), or EXPIRED (only after a run that reached the natural end of every search or URL, with no cap hit and no Resume, and only with Emit expired on). REAPPEARED is not something a normal scheduled run produces by itself: it only appears for a listing that an earlier complete run already marked EXPIRED, and that later shows up again. Combining Incremental mode with Resume fails fast if that search already has saved incremental state; combining them the first time, before any state exists, is fine and bootstraps a new monitoring baseline from the resumed dataset.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped results into the apps you already use, via Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This is an extra delivery step after the scrape: the Apify dataset is never changed.

What gets written to the connector: a condensed, human-readable summary of each record, not the full JSON. Each item becomes one entry with a title and its key fields flattened to plain text. The complete record always stays in the Apify dataset.

1. Authorize a connector once under Apify, Settings, Integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, or Apify).
2. Select it in the "Pipe results into your apps" input field. If the picker is empty, you haven't authorized a connector yet.
3. For Notion, also set notionParentPageUrl to the page where items should be created.

The connection is mediated by Apify's MCP proxy, so this actor never sees your third-party credentials. Leave the field empty to skip.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
mode	string	search	search builds the URL from filters; url scrapes pasted URLs.
locations	array	none (prefill: ["dubai"])	City slugs: dubai, abu-dhabi, sharjah, ras-al-khaimah, ajman, fujairah, umm-al-quwain, al-ain. Search mode. If left empty, the actor still searches Dubai, a code fallback rather than a schema default.
section	string	property-for-sale	property-for-sale, property-for-rent, motors, or property-agents. Search mode.
propertyType	string	residential	Property sub-type for the property sections. Search mode.
minPrice	integer	none	Minimum price in AED. Search mode.
maxPrice	integer	none	Maximum price in AED. Search mode.
minBedrooms	integer	none	Minimum bedrooms. Property sections.
maxBedrooms	integer	none	Maximum bedrooms. Property sections.
minArea	integer	none	Minimum built-up area in sqft. Property sections.
maxArea	integer	none	Maximum built-up area in sqft. Property sections.
furnishing	string	any	any, furnished, unfurnished. Property sections.

sortBy	string	popular	popular, newest, oldest, price-asc, price-desc, verified. Search mode.
urls	array	none (prefill: 1 example URL)	Full Dubizzle URLs. URL mode. Filter fields are ignored here; left empty, URL mode has nothing to scrape.
maxPages	integer	0	Optional bound on pages per search or URL. 0 = walk as deep as the source serves, stopping on its own at the storefront's reported total or a repeated page. Does not cap listings; use Max listings for that.
maxListings	integer	20	The single result cap. 0 = unlimited, bounded by Max pages or the storefront total.
fetchDetails	boolean	false	Include the full record for each listing (description, amenities, email, full photo gallery, permit numbers). Billed as a per-item surcharge.
includeDldHistory	boolean	true	With detail mode on, also pull Dubai Land Department history for Dubai property listings. Ignored otherwise.
resumeFromRunId	string	none	ID of a previous run (or dataset) of this actor. Listings already there are skipped, so this run returns only new ones.
incrementalMode	boolean	false	For a scheduled run against the same search. Classifies every listing as NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED or EXPIRED against remembered state.
stateKey	string	none	Names the monitoring campaign so it keeps its own baseline. Left empty, one is auto-derived from your search filters. Incremental mode only.
emitUnchanged	boolean	false	Also return (and bill) UNCHANGED listings every run. Incremental mode only.
emitExpired	boolean	false	Also return (and bill) a one-time EXPIRED row for a tracked listing that disappeared, only after a run that reached the natural end of the search. Incremental mode only.
proxy	object	none (prefill: Apify Residential, country AE)	Connection settings. If this field is omitted, the actor falls back to its own built-in backup connection instead of Apify Residential and logs a warning; see Plan Requirement below.
mcpConnectors	array	none	Optional: send a summary of each record to apps you authorized under Integrations.
notionParentPageUrl	string	none	Notion connector only: page under which records are created.
maxNotifyListings	integer	50	Cap on items written to each connector per run. Does not affect the dataset.

Plan Requirement

Dubizzle serves full pages far more reliably to UAE residential connections than to datacenter ones. The Connection field comes prefilled with Apify Residential proxy, country AE, and that is the setting to keep for a dependable run. If Connection is left completely unset, for example when calling the actor from code without passing it, the actor falls back to its own built-in backup connection: the run still starts, but it logs a clear warning and can return few or no listings. A single listing URL pasted in URL mode is always fetched as a full detail record and carries the detail surcharge, even with detail mode off. The Pricing tab has the current per-listing rate and the detail-mode surcharge.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

You pay per listing returned, plus a surcharge only for listings where detail mode actually fetched extra data. The Pricing tab shows current rates. Use Max listings to cap the cost of any run.

Is it legal to scrape Dubizzle?

This actor collects only publicly available listing data. You are responsible for how you use it: follow Dubizzle's terms and the laws that apply to you, and get legal advice if you plan commercial redistribution. Contact details on a listing belong to the person or agency that posted it, so handle them accordingly.

Can I get only new or changed listings on a schedule?

Yes. Schedule the actor from the Schedules tab against the same search and turn on Incremental mode. Each run then returns only NEW and UPDATED listings, unchanged ones are skipped and not billed, and EXPIRED only appears once a full, uncapped, non-resumed run has confirmed a tracked listing is really gone.

What's the difference between Resume and Incremental mode?

Resume continues one specific interrupted run from a pasted run or dataset id, useful for a single very large one-off collection. Incremental mode is for a recurring, scheduled run against the same search: the actor remembers state itself between runs, no id to paste. They solve different problems and can be combined once, to bootstrap a new monitoring baseline from an existing dataset, but not once that baseline already exists.

Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset?

A run stops with a clear error only when resumeFromRunId points to a run or dataset it cannot read, or when Incremental mode is combined with Resume on a search that already has saved incremental state. Everything else, an empty URLs list in URL mode, a source that rejected every connection attempt this run, or a scheduled Incremental run where nothing changed since last time, finishes as a normal successful run that simply returns zero or few rows. An empty Locations input in search mode does not return zero rows; it falls back to searching Dubai.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP?

Yes. Call it from any Apify integration or MCP client, and use the connector field to push a summary of each result into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
