FAQs

How do I find URLs to paste?

Browse Property Finder normally and copy URLs from the address bar. The scraper supports landing pages, sitemap URLs, and the sitemap index. Or use the city + purpose filters to let the actor discover URLs for you.

Can I scrape all Dubai listings at once?

Yes — provide the sitemap index URL https://www.propertyfinder.ae/sitemaps/index-sitemap.xml and set a high max_items. The actor will expand it into all available landing pages.

Does it support Saudi Arabia?

Yes — use country=sa and a Saudi city (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, etc.), or pass a propertyfinder.sa URL.

Can I filter by bedrooms, price, or area?

Directly — no. The filter mode uses city + purpose only. For fine-grained filtering, browse Property Finder's website with your desired filters applied, then paste the resulting URLs into startUrls.

What if a URL returns no results?

The actor logs a warning and continues with the remaining URLs. Set ignore_url_failures to false to stop on first failure.

Does this work on the Apify FREE plan?

Yes. The scraper runs entirely without residential proxies and without browsers, so it fits comfortably within free plan compute limits.

How do I get verified listings only?

All listings include an isVerified boolean — filter the output downstream (e.g., in a Google Sheet or database) to keep only isVerified=true entries.

How fresh is the data?

The actor fetches live data on each run. Schedule daily runs on Apify to track new listings, price changes, and delistings.
