🇶🇦 Saakin Scraper

Want Saakin.qa Qatar property listings in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use structured filters (purpose, type, location, furnishings, beds, price) — structured filters work better for AI agents — or paste an input_url from Saakin once you've already filtered in the browser. When input_url is set it overrides the filters below.

Saakin currently lists about 14,000 rentals and thousands of sale ads across Doha, Lusail, The Pearl, and the rest of Qatar. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run.

💡 Perfect for...

• Agents and relocators: Export Qatar rent or sale ads with WhatsApp and asking price in QAR.
• Dashboards: Track Lusail, The Pearl, or Doha inventory without clicking through Saakin.
• Market research: Slice by type (apartments, villas, offices), furnishings, or bedrooms.
• Data analysts: Export structured listing rows with public Saakin URLs.
• 🤖 AI Agents: Power Claude, Cursor, Codex, the Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw workflows with live Saakin results.

✨ Why you'll love this scraper
