Property Finder Scraper: UAE Listings, Agents, DLD Transactions & Reviews

Property Finder Scraper turns propertyfinder.ae into a clean UAE real estate data feed. Get listing prices, sizes, bedrooms, coordinates, amenities, agent and broker contacts and 80+ other fields for residential and commercial properties for sale and rent across every emirate. Add each listing's DLD permit number, licence numbers and full photo gallery on request. Beyond listings, the same actor scrapes the agent and broker directories (ratings, closed deals), off-plan new projects, Dubai Land Department sold and rented transactions, and area insights with resident reviews. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull results straight into your app through the API.

Why This Scraper?

• Six kinds of data in one actor. Property listings, agents, brokers, new projects, Dubai Land Department transactions and area insights with resident reviews. Pick one in mode.
• Residential and commercial, every period. Buy or rent apartments, villas, offices, retail, warehouses, shops and more, with yearly, monthly, weekly or daily rentals. Build a search or paste PropertyFinder search URLs.
• 25+ filters applied by the site. Price, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, price per sqft, furnishing, completion, amenities, keywords, listed within N days, virtual viewings, deal badges and cheques are sent with the search, so only matching pages are read.
• 80+ fields per listing. Price, payment terms, size, bedrooms, coordinates, amenities, images, floor plans, deal badges, plus agent and broker contacts, IDs and profile links.
• Optional listing details. The full photo gallery in full resolution, the DLD permit number and validation link, broker and agent licence numbers, off-plan project data, the price versus the area average and the community rating.
• Checkpoint and resume. A run saves its own progress and survives platform migrations, and resumeFromRunId continues one interrupted run as a delta so you never pay twice for the same row.
• Built for schedules. Incremental mode returns only new and changed rows on recurring runs, and a run that could not reach the site fails loudly instead of returning an empty dataset.

Use Cases

• Real estate analytics and research: build UAE price, inventory and price-per-sqft datasets by emirate, community or property type, and track them over time.
• Sold price analysis: pull Dubai Land Department sale and rent transactions with price per sqft, unit number and date.
• Lead generation and agency research: collect agent and broker contacts, ratings, closed deals and active listings for outreach or ranking.
• Off-plan research: compare new projects by developer, starting price, payment plan, delivery date and construction phase.
• Neighbourhood insight: collect resident reviews and sub-scores (traffic, quiet, parks, family friendly, parking) for communities and buildings.
• Recurring monitoring: schedule a saved search to catch new listings, price changes and delistings automatically.

Other content types

Mode	One row per	Key fields
Agents	agent	name, broker, phone, WhatsApp, languages, nationality, licence, rating, rating_distribution, reviews count, closed sales and rentals, deal volume, recent_deals, listing counts, top locations, profile URL
Brokers	agency or branch	name, phone, email, address, RERA licence, agents and SuperAgents, listing counts, closed deals, awards, description, logo
New projects	off-plan project	title, developer, starting price, price range, down payment, payment plans, delivery date, construction phase, stock availability, property types, bedrooms, amenities, coordinates, images
DLD transactions	sale or rent deal (Dubai)	date, price, price per sqft, property type, bedrooms, size, off-plan or ready, unit number, building, community, location path
Area insights	community or building	description, tags, rating and sub-scores, reviews count, rental yield, average prices by type and bedrooms, FAQs, and a nested reviews list

Each of these rows carries type (agent, broker, project, transaction or area). Area reviews are nested in the area row with review-prefixed fields (reviewText, reviewRating, reviewScores, reviewDate, reviewerName, reviewerPersona, reviewLikes, reviewLocationName); the Area reviews output shows them one per row.

On an incremental mode run, each listing also carries changeType (NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED or EXPIRED), changedFields (the exact fields that changed on an UPDATED listing), firstSeenAt and lastSeenAt.

How to Use

1. Pick a mode: property listings by search (search) or by pasted search URLs (url), or one of agents, brokers, newProjects, transactions, areaInsights. Each mode has its own section in the input form.
2. Under Where, choose Locations (a city like dubai or a community like dubai/dubai-marina), Category (buy or rent, residential or commercial) and Property types, then fill in the section for your mode and any listing filters.
3. Set Max listings to cap the run size and cost. Leave Max pages empty to walk every result page for each search, or set it to stop earlier. Optionally set Max results per URL to cap the rows taken from each search URL (unset by default, so no per-URL cap).
4. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

Buy apartments in Dubai:

{
  "mode": "search",
  "category": "buy",
  "locations": ["dubai"],
  "propertyTypes": ["apartments"],
  "maxListings": 50
}

Monthly rentals in Dubai Marina with a pool and balcony, listed this week, with listing details:

{
  "category": "rent",
  "locations": ["dubai/dubai-marina"],
  "propertyTypes": ["apartments"],
  "rentPeriod": "monthly",
  "amenities": ["PP", "BA"],
  "listedWithin": "7",
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxListings": 100
}

Agents in Dubai Marina who speak Russian:

{
  "mode": "agents",
  "locations": ["dubai/dubai-marina"],
  "agentLanguages": ["Russian"],
  "maxListings": 300
}

Dubai Land Department sales in JVC over the last 3 months:

{
  "mode": "transactions",
  "category": "buy",
  "locations": ["dubai/jumeirah-village-circle"],
  "transactionsPeriod": "3m",
  "maxListings": 0
}

The other modes work the same way: "mode": "brokers", "newProjects" (e.g. "locations": ["dubai"]) or "areaInsights" (e.g. "locations": ["dubai/jumeirah-village-circle"]). For listings you can also paste search URLs with "mode": "url" and "urls": [...], or switch to commercial with "category": "commercial-rent" and "propertyTypes": ["offices"].

Run it from your code

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("abotapi/propertyfinder-ae-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "search",
    "category": "buy",
    "locations": ["dubai"],
    "maxListings": 50,
})
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/propertyfinder-ae-scraper').call({
  mode: 'search',
  category: 'buy',
  locations: ['dubai'],
  maxListings: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

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

Resume and recurring updates

• Resume (resumeFromRunId) continues one interrupted run: paste its run or dataset ID and the actor skips every listing already collected there, so you don't pay twice.
• Incremental mode (incrementalMode) is for scheduled runs over the same search. Each listing is classified NEW, UPDATED (with changedFields), UNCHANGED (suppressed and not billed unless emitUnchanged is on), or EXPIRED (only produced once a run scans every search URL to its natural end, and only with emitExpired on; never when Max listings capped the run, or Resume was used). REAPPEARED is not a default, every-run outcome: it is produced only for a listing that an earlier emitExpired run already marked as gone and that then shows up again in a later scrape. A search that has never run with Emit expired on will never produce a REAPPEARED listing, only NEW, UPDATED and, if you turn it on, UNCHANGED.
• State key names or shares the stored state; leave it empty and the actor derives one automatically from the search and filters, so different searches never mix state with each other. With incremental mode off, output is exactly as before.
• Combining incrementalMode with resumeFromRunId is only for bootstrapping a brand new search. If a state key already has saved state, the run fails fast and asks you to remove Resume or set a different State key.

URL mode: every page shape

Paste any of these into Page URLs ("mode": "url"). Each URL is routed by its shape and every row keeps the same fields as the matching mode above.

Shape	Example	Output
Search (category, community, sub-community, bedroom slug, all types, rent, commercial, off-plan, legacy /en/search?..., filtered, sorted, paginated)	/en/buy/dubai/apartments-for-sale.html?bdr%5B%5D=2&ob=pa	listings
Listing page (full slug or numeric id)	/en/plp/buy/...-158222918.html	one listing
Agent profile / agents directory	/en/agent/mamoun-hemora-276469, /en/find-agent/search?page=1	agents
Broker profile / brokers directory	/en/broker/elite-property-brokerage-4428, /en/find-broker/search?page=1	brokers
New projects (all UAE, by city) / one project	/en/new-projects, /en/new-projects/lp/dubai, /en/new-projects/emaar-properties/valia-tower	projects
DLD transactions	/en/transactions/buy/dubai	transactions
Area insights	/en/area-insights/dubai/downtown-dubai	area (with reviews up to Max reviews per area)

Tracking parameters (utm_*, fk) are removed, and the non-www and m. hosts are changed to www. Filters in pasted directory, new-projects, transactions and area URLs are not applied: those pages are walked from the input-form filters (location, category, property types, search text, dates and so on) starting at page 1, so a pasted ?page=5 or filter query on one of them does not narrow the walk. The run logs "Filters in this URL are not applied: ..." for every such URL (a bare page=1 is not reported); set the filters in the input form instead. Search-page filters and ?page=N in a search URL are applied. A page the site does not serve (for example /ar/ URLs, which are 404) is skipped and named in the log. A single profile or listing page is never counted as a full scan, so it cannot mark anything EXPIRED.

Default behaviour change: if you leave Page URLs untouched (or omit urls in API calls with "mode": "url"), the run now scrapes one example of each shape above, capped by Max listings (the tracking-parameter and non-www examples in the prefill clean up to an already-listed page, so they are left out of the default), instead of one sample search. Pass your own list to avoid this; an explicit empty list still stops the run with an error.

In every mode, Locations accepts typed names such as Downtown Dubai or Marina Gate, Dubai Marina, Dubai; names with a space or a comma are looked up on the site; a name the site does not know stops the run with "Location not found on PropertyFinder", while a lookup that could not be read (connection problem) stops it with a separate connection message, never as an unknown place. A single word such as Dubai is used as the lower-case slug without a lookup. Slugs like dubai/dubai-marina still work.

Send results into your apps (MCP connectors)

Optionally pipe the scraped listings 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 listing, 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 have not 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.

Plan Requirement

By default the Actor reads the site through an Apify residential proxy in the UAE. Measured on real pages, datacenter proxy groups read Property Finder just as well and cost less, so on a paid Apify plan you can pick a datacenter group in Proxy & connection; the default is unchanged. Apify free plans include no Apify proxy at all (neither residential nor datacenter). In that case the run logs "The selected connection is unavailable to this run. Apify free plans do not include residential proxies. Continuing on a backup connection; some pages may still be unavailable." and carries on over a backup connection. The run ends as failed with "The proxy connection was refused for this account, so no page could be read. Your Apify plan does not include proxy access; a paid plan is required" only when no connection at all, backup included, could be opened. The Pricing tab shows the current rates.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

You pay per row returned (listing, agent, broker, project, transaction or area). Add listing details adds a per-listing charge (detail enrichment, once per enriched listing), and area reviews are billed per review (review enrichment, once per review delivered, so the default of 20 per area keeps it small). The Pricing tab shows the current rates. Use Max results to cap the cost of any run.

Why do transactions stop at about 1,000 per day?

The site shows at most 500 transactions per query. The actor splits longer ranges into one query per day and reads busy days from both ends of the price range, so up to 1,000 deals per day come back. On a day with more (common for Dubai rentals), narrow the search with a community, property type or price range. Transactions are published for Dubai only.

Can I get the text of agent reviews?

Agent rows include the average rating, the 1 to 5 star breakdown and the review count. The site does not currently publish agent review texts. Resident reviews of communities and buildings are available in full through Area insights.

Is it legal to scrape Property Finder?

This actor collects only publicly available listing data. You are responsible for how you use it: follow Property Finder's terms and the laws that apply to you, and get legal advice if you plan commercial redistribution. Agent and broker contact details are published on the listings by the agents themselves, but you are still responsible for how you use anything you collect.

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

Yes. Schedule the actor from the Schedules tab and turn on Incremental mode. Each run then returns only NEW and UPDATED listings by default and unchanged ones are not billed. Turn on Emit expired to also see listings that disappeared, once a run has scanned the whole search to its natural end.

Why did I get REAPPEARED listings, or none at all?

REAPPEARED only fires for a listing that a previous run with Emit expired on already marked as gone. If you have never run with Emit expired on, or a listing has stayed in the results the whole time, you will only ever see NEW, UPDATED and, if enabled, UNCHANGED.

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

If every request this run made was rejected, the run stops with a clear message so "no listings match this search" is never confused with "nothing could be read." The log says either "Could not load any results page (the requests failed)... This is a connection problem, not an empty search" or, when your plan has no residential proxies, "No results: residential proxies are unavailable on this run". Retry later, or pick another proxy group in Proxy & connection. If only some locations or pages could not be read, the run still succeeds with whatever listings it found. If that leaves no listings at all, the status message reports how many requests were rejected. A search that read cleanly and genuinely found nothing still succeeds, with no listings and a status message explaining why.

Does an existing scheduled search change after an update?

No. Inputs you already use return the same listings with the same fields; new fields are added alongside. Incremental mode keeps your saved state, and a field that did not exist in an earlier run never makes a listing UPDATED on its own.

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 listing summaries into Notion, Linear or Airtable.
