## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Dubai DLD Transactions - Real Sold Prices & Price/Sqm

Get **official Dubai Land Department (DLD) transaction data** - the *actual registered* prices behind the asking prices you see on Bayut and Property Finder. For any date range, this Actor returns real market activity aggregated by **community, project, property type, sub-type and sale sequence (first sale vs resale)**, with the metrics investors actually need.

Listing portals tell you what sellers *ask*. This tells you what buyers *paid*.

### What you get for each aggregate

- Community, property type and sub-type (e.g. Flat, Villa, Land) - **bilingual English + Arabic**
- Usage (Residential / Commercial)
- Sale sequence: **First** (first sale, usually off-plan) vs **Second** (resale)
- Transaction count
- Total value (AED) and total size (sqm)
- **Price per sqm (AED)** - the key benchmarking metric
- **Average transaction value** and **average unit size**
- The projects contributing to each aggregate

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Transaction type | Sales, Mortgages, or Gifts / Other |
| From date | Start date `YYYY-MM-DD` (history goes back years) |
| To date | End date `YYYY-MM-DD` |
| Proxy | Apify Proxy recommended |

### Use cases

- **Real price benchmarking** - what a 1-bed in JVC actually sold for per sqm, this week vs last year
- **Rental yield / ROI** models (pair with asking rents)
- Market reports, dashboards and valuation models
- Off-plan vs ready market share (first-sale vs resale split)
- Feeding an AI assistant to answer "average price per sqm in Dubai Marina in Q1"

### How it works

The data is public - the DLD's own transactions page serves it to every visitor. This Actor reads the page's gateway credentials fresh on each run and queries the official DLD gateway. No login, no personal API key, no browser. Public government data only.

### Notes

- Data is **aggregated** (by community / sub-type / sale sequence), which is how the DLD publishes it on its public page. Individual per-property records are not exposed by this public source.
- The `pricePerSqmAed`, `avgTransactionValueAed` and `avgSizeSqm` fields are computed from the official totals for clarity; the DLD's own `dldPerSqmValue` is included as-is for reference.

### Output example

```json
{
  "transactionType": "sales",
  "propertyType": "Unit",
  "community": "JUMEIRAH VILLAGE CIRCLE",
  "communityAr": "جميرا فيليج سيركل",
  "propertySubType": "Flat",
  "propertySubTypeAr": "شقه سكنيه",
  "usage": "Residential",
  "saleSequence": "First",
  "transactionCount": 118,
  "totalValueAed": 124063732.27,
  "totalSizeSqm": 7650.4,
  "pricePerSqmAed": 16218.46,
  "avgTransactionValueAed": 1051387.56,
  "avgSizeSqm": 64.83,
  "projects": ["THE RESIDENCES AT MARINA GATE 2"],
  "fromDate": "2026-07-01",
  "toDate": "2026-07-31"
}
````

### Use it in ChatGPT or Claude

Plug this Actor into an AI assistant via the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com) and ask in plain language:

> "What was the average price per sqm in JVC this month?"
>
> "Show Dubai Marina sold prices - first sale vs resale."

Your assistant maps the request onto the inputs and returns structured, ready-to-use results.
