⚙️ How it works

The Daft.ie Scraper talks directly to Daft's data feed and returns clean, structured rows — there is no headless browser, no login and no API key to juggle. That keeps each run fast, cheap and dependable, and it's why the actor keeps passing its automated daily health check instead of breaking on an anti-bot wall. You point it at a search (and optional filters), tell it how many results you want, and it paginates through the results automatically until it reaches your limit, de-duplicating as it goes. Whether you need 20 rows for a quick check or thousands for a full market sweep, the same input shape works — only maxResults changes.

👥 Who uses Daft.ie data?

Property listings from Daft.ie across Ireland are valuable to estate agents, investors, proptech teams and lead-gen agencies. A market analyst tracks how prices and inventory move week over week; an agency builds targeted contact lists and enriches its CRM; an investor screens for under-priced stock; a proptech or AI product feeds the structured data into a model, dashboard or app. Because every record is plain JSON with consistent field names, it drops straight into whatever stack you already run — spreadsheets, a database, a BI tool or an LLM pipeline — with no custom parsing.

📤 Export, schedule & integrate

Every run is saved to a dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS, or pull through the Apify API. Wire it into Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack or your own database, run it on a schedule (hourly, daily or weekly) so your data stays fresh, and call it from AI agents through the Apify MCP server. Combine it with the related scrapers below to cover several markets from one workflow.

💡 Tips for best results

• Start with a small maxResults to preview the shape of the data, then scale up.
• Narrow the search (location, type, price range) for more relevant, higher-quality rows.
• Schedule recurring runs and diff the output to catch price drops and new property listings early.
• Always respect the source's terms of use and local privacy/anti-spam law (e.g. GDPR) when storing or contacting anyone.

❓ More FAQ

How fresh is the data? It is scraped live on every run, so it reflects what is on Daft.ie at that moment. Schedule runs to keep a fresh copy.

Can I get more than the default number of results? Yes — raise maxResults; the actor paginates automatically up to the amount you ask for.

Can I run it automatically? Yes — use Apify Schedules (cron) to run it hourly, daily or weekly with no manual steps.

Are duplicates removed? Yes — records are de-duplicated within each run by their unique id.

Which export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS, plus programmatic access via the Apify API.

Can I use it with AI agents or LLMs? Yes — the dataset is available through the Apify API and the Apify MCP server, so agents can call it directly.
