Dubizzle Classifieds Scraper

Pulling numbers off Dubizzle by hand is slow work: open an ad, copy the price, note the mileage, write down the area, repeat. This scraper does it in bulk. Paste a Dubizzle listing or search URL and every ad on the page comes back as a clean row, with the asking price, make, model, year, mileage, condition, and location already split into fields. It runs across all seven UAE city subdomains, pages through results on its own, and you only pay for what you scrape.

What you get

Each ad becomes one row, and fields a particular listing does not carry (mileage on a flat, say) come back as null so your columns stay lined up. Three kinds of data per row:

• The item — adTitle, makeName, modelName, modelYear, itemCondition, categoryName, adDescription
• Price and mileage — askingPrice, currencyCode, odometerKm
• Where and where from — emirateName, areaName, adUrl, photoLink, sourceUrl, collectedAt

Quick start

1. Open Dubizzle, apply any filters you want (price, year, make), and copy the URL from the address bar.
2. Hit Try for free and paste that URL into Dubizzle listing URLs.
3. Set a Results limit to decide how many ads to pull from each URL.
4. Press Start, then export the rows as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

Use cases

• Used-car price tracking — run the same make/model URL each week and watch how asking prices move
• Property research — pull rental or for-sale stock in a district before you set a price or make an offer
• Competitor monitoring — see how many ads sit in a category and what they are priced at
• Keyword research — listing titles and blurbs are written by real UAE sellers, a good source of natural search phrases
• Data pipelines — push structured Dubizzle rows into Sheets, Airtable, or a database through the Apify API

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
targetUrls	array of strings	Yes	Dubizzle listing or search URLs to pull from. Works with every UAE city subdomain and category path; each URL paginates on its own.
resultsLimit	integer	No	How many ads to gather per URL. Counted separately for each URL, not across the run. Default 30.
timeoutSeconds	integer	No	Seconds to wait on each request before giving up. Default 60.

Example input

{
  "targetUrls": [
    "https://dubai.dubizzle.com/motors/used-cars/nissan/patrol/",
    "https://sharjah.dubizzle.com/properties/residential/villas/"
  ],
  "resultsLimit": 30,
  "timeoutSeconds": 60
}

Output

Every ad on the page becomes one row, paginated automatically until the URL's resultsLimit is reached or the listings run out. Anything Dubizzle does not publish for a given ad comes back as null rather than a guess.

Example output

{
  "adUrl": "https://dubai.dubizzle.com/motors/used-cars/nissan/patrol/2026/4/9/nissan-patrol-le-platinum-2019-gcc-full-op/",

  "adDescription": "Nissan Patrol 2019 | GCC | Full Option | Single Owner | No Accidents",
  "itemCondition": "UsedCondition",
  "emirateName": "Dubai",
  "areaName": "Jumeirah",
  "categoryName": "Car",

Tips for best results

• Filter on Dubizzle first. Any price, year, or mileage filter you set in the browser carries into the URL, so a tighter search URL means a tighter, more relevant dataset.
• One URL per city for the same make/model. To compare a car across emirates, add a Dubai URL, a Sharjah URL, an Abu Dhabi URL, and so on.
• Set resultsLimit to 1000 to sweep a whole URL; Dubizzle usually shows about 25 ads per page and pagination is handled for you.
• Property ads skip the car fields. odometerKm, makeName, and modelName come back null on a flat or villa, which is expected.
• A page with no ads is not a failure. The actor logs a note and moves on to the next URL instead of stopping the run.

How can I use Dubizzle classifieds data?

How can I use the Dubizzle Classifieds Scraper to track used-car prices in the UAE? Paste a Dubizzle URL for the make and model you follow and run it on a schedule. Each row carries askingPrice, makeName, modelName, modelYear, and odometerKm, so you can line up comparable cars and watch how asking prices drift week to week.

How can I scrape Dubizzle property listings for market research? Drop in a residential search URL for the area you care about. The scraper returns askingPrice, categoryName, emirateName, and areaName for every ad, giving you a quick read on supply and pricing in a district before you list or make an offer.

How can I export Dubizzle data to a spreadsheet or database? Add one or more URLs, set resultsLimit to the volume you need, and export to CSV or Excel — or pipe the rows straight into Sheets, Airtable, or your own database through the Apify API. The output is already split into clean fields, so there is no cleanup step.

Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses or private contact information. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
