Daft.ie Property Scraper: Ireland Sale & Rent Listings

Daft.ie Property Scraper exports property listings from Daft.ie, Ireland's largest property site, as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. It reads the same public search and listing pages the site shows, with no login and no API key:

• ✅ For sale and to rent, by county, city, town or Dublin district, or the whole of Ireland.
• ✅ Filters: price range and bedrooms, or paste any Daft.ie search URL with its own filters.
• ✅ Price as a number in euro (plus the original text and the rent period), bedrooms, bathrooms, property type, floor area.
• ✅ BER energy rating and EPI.
• ✅ Location: address, county, Eircode, latitude and longitude.
• ✅ Agency contacts: agency, agent name, phone and PSRA licence. Private sellers' names and phone numbers are never output.
• ✅ Listing details (optional): full description, features, first-published date, views and all photos.
• ✅ Deduplicated across pages and searches; fast plain HTTP requests, no browser. Pay only for listings written to your dataset.

How does the Daft.ie scraper work?

1. It checks daft.ie/robots.txt and only fetches allowed URLs (never /api, sort_by, offset or from_search pages).
2. It loads the search page, e.g. daft.ie/property-for-sale/dublin, and reads the listing data embedded in it (20 per page).
3. It follows ?page=2, ?page=3, ... until maxItems listings.
4. With Include listing details on, it also opens each listing page.

FAQ

Why are some agent fields empty? Private sellers' names and phone numbers are never output; contact them through Daft.ie.

What does BER SI_666 mean? The property is exempt from BER (e.g. a protected structure).

Is it legal? The actor reads public listing pages that robots.txt allows, without login, and outputs agency contacts only. Check Daft.ie's terms for your use case.
