PropertyFinder.ae Scraper

Scrape property listings from PropertyFinder.ae, the leading real estate portal in the UAE. Extract detailed property data including prices, locations with GPS coordinates, property specifications, agent contact information, and images.

What does PropertyFinder.ae Scraper do?

This scraper extracts structured data from PropertyFinder.ae search results. It supports both buy and rent listings across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and all UAE emirates.

For each property listing, the scraper extracts:

• Pricing: Sale price or rental price in AED
• Property details: Type (apartment, villa, townhouse), bedrooms, bathrooms, area in sqft, furnished status
• Location: Full address, city, area, building/community name, GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude)
• Agent info: Agent name, phone number, email address
• Broker info: Brokerage company name
• Media: Primary listing image URL
• Metadata: Listing reference number, verification status, listed date, listing URL

The scraper uses PropertyFinder's server-side rendered data, making it fast and reliable. It works with HTTP requests only — no browser automation needed.

How to use

Option 1: Provide a search URL

1. Go to PropertyFinder.ae
2. Use the website's search and filters to find the properties you want
3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
4. Paste it into the Search URL input field

This is the most flexible option — it supports all filters available on the website.

Option 2: Use filter inputs

Set the filter fields directly in the actor input:

• Listing type: Buy or Rent
• Location: City or area (e.g., "dubai", "abu-dhabi", "dubai-marina")
• Property type: Apartment, Villa, Townhouse, Penthouse, Duplex, or Studio
• Price range: Minimum and maximum price in AED
• Bedrooms: Minimum and maximum number of bedrooms
• Max results: Limit the number of listings to scrape

Example input

{
  "listingType": "rent",
  "location": "dubai-marina",
  "propertyType": "apartment",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "minBeds": 1,
  "maxBeds": 3
}

Or with a search URL:

{
  "searchUrl": "https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/search?c=1&l=dubai-marina&t=1&bf=1&bt=3&ob=mr",
  "maxResults": 200
}

Filtering and limits

Max results

The Max results parameter controls how many listings to extract. The default is 50. Set a higher value (up to 10,000) for larger datasets.

Price filters

Use Min price and Max price to narrow results to a specific price range. Prices are in AED (United Arab Emirates Dirham).

Bedroom filters

Use Min bedrooms and Max bedrooms to filter by bedroom count. Set both to the same value to get an exact match (e.g., min=2, max=2 for exactly 2-bedroom properties).

Property type filter

Select a specific property type to narrow results:

• Apartment — flats and apartments
• Villa — standalone villas
• Townhouse — townhouses and row houses
• Penthouse — penthouse units
• Duplex — duplex units
• Studio — studio apartments

Tips for best results

1. Use search URLs for complex filters: The PropertyFinder website has many filter options not available as actor inputs. Apply your filters on the website, then copy the URL.
2. Start small: Test with maxResults: 10 first to verify the output matches your needs.
3. Page through results: PropertyFinder shows up to ~500 pages per search. For very large datasets, split into multiple runs with different filters.
4. Combine with other tools: Export results to Google Sheets, integrate with CRM systems, or use Apify's API for automated pipelines.

Limitations

• The scraper extracts data from search result pages. Some fields (like full description) are only available on individual listing pages and are not included.
• PropertyFinder limits search results to approximately 500 pages (~6,000 listings per search). Use specific filters to work around this limit.
• Listings shown on the website may change between scraper runs as new properties are listed and old ones are removed.
