🔎 Why scrape Aqar?

Aqar (sa.aqar.fm) is the dominant real estate platform in Saudi Arabia, carrying hundreds of thousands of active sale and rental listings for apartments, villas, land, floors, buildings, offices, warehouses, farms and more. Each listing is rich: asking price in SAR, area and plot dimensions, bedroom/bathroom/living-room counts, GPS location, photos, a full Arabic description, the advertiser's contact details, and — crucially for the Saudi market — the property's REGA (Real Estate General Authority / الهيئة العامة للعقار) advertising-license number and status.

That data is enormously valuable for market research, pricing, lead generation and compliance, but collecting it by hand is slow and error-prone. Listings are paginated 20 per page, localized across Arabic and English, and split between search summaries and full property pages. This Aqar data extractor handles all of that automatically: it resolves cities, walks the search pagination across pages and categories, de-duplicates by listing ID, and enriches each property with full detail-page data — returning one clean row per listing.

Common reasons teams use this Aqar scraper:

• 📊 Saudi real estate market intelligence — build city- and district-level datasets for pricing, supply and trend analysis across Vision 2030 growth corridors.
• 📞 B2B & broker lead generation — extract public seller, brokerage (agencyName) and responsible-employee phone numbers (sellerPhone) for direct outreach.
• 💰 Price-per-square-meter benchmarking — compare pricePerSqm across neighborhoods, property types and sale vs. rent inventory.
• 🔔 Automated inventory & price monitoring — schedule recurring runs to spot newly published properties or price adjustments.
• ✅ REGA compliance & audit workflows — verify advertising-license numbers (regaLicenseNumber), official verification URLs, expiry dates and declared prices.
• 🤖 PropTech valuation & AI pipelines — feed normalized Aqar property data into automated valuation models (AVMs), BI dashboards, CRMs and AI agents.
• 🗺️ GIS & spatial mapping — plot exact latitude and longitude coordinates alongside plot dimensions and street widths.

✨ What this Aqar scraper does

• ✅ Search any Saudi city — pick from Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Al Khobar, Taif, Abha, Tabuk and Buraydah, or add any other city by name (English or Arabic) or by numeric Aqar city ID.
• ✅ Sale, rent, or both — collect all listings or restrict to sale or rent.
• ✅ 15 property categories — apartments, villas, land, houses, floors, buildings, offices, stores, warehouses, farms, rooms, chalets, rest houses and camps, or all for maximum volume.
• ✅ Unlocked 1,000+ deep pagination — with maxPagesPerSearch: 0 (the default), the Actor automatically paginates across result pages and property categories until your maxResults target is met, scaling smoothly to 1,000+ unique listings per run.
• ✅ Full detail enrichment — visits each listing in parallel (maxConcurrency) to add the complete description, every photo, seller/broker contact, REGA license data, utilities and activity metrics.
• ✅ Cleaned, dialable phone numbers — filters out non-numeric "contact via the app" placeholder strings so sellerPhone only contains genuine dialable phone numbers.
• ✅ Powerful built-in filters — price range (minPrice/maxPrice), area range (minArea/maxArea), minimum bedrooms/bathrooms/living rooms, furnishing (furnished), and regaLicensedOnly.
• ✅ Flexible sorting — order the final dataset by published date, last update, price, area, price per m² or views.
• ✅ Target exact properties — paste Aqar search URLs into startUrls or individual listing IDs into listingIds for precise, on-demand collection.
• ✅ Fast, lightweight HTTP execution — runs without a heavy browser, delivering fast prefill samples in seconds and hundreds of enriched listings in minutes.

🔁 Pagination & 1,000+ scaling

The Aqar scraper is engineered for both quick neighborhood snapshots and deep 1,000+ property market sweeps:

• Automatic multi-page traversal (maxPagesPerSearch: 0): By default, maxPagesPerSearch is set to 0 (automatic/unlimited), meaning pagination is governed directly by your maxResults setting rather than stopping at a fixed page count.
• Multi-category expansion for propertyType: "all": When you request a large dataset (e.g. maxResults: 1000 or 5000) with propertyType: "all", the Actor automatically expands across Aqar's major property categories (apartments, villas, land, floors, buildings, houses, offices, stores) for each selected city so your run never hits single-feed pagination limits.
• Strict deduplication: Every property is deduplicated by listingId before detail enrichment, ensuring 0 duplicate records across overlapping pages or categories.
• Key-value diagnostics: Every run writes SUMMARY and ERRORS records to the default Key-Value Store for instant pipeline monitoring.

---

⚠️ Limitations & data notes

• Publicly listed data only: The Actor extracts only attributes that advertisers publicly publish on sa.aqar.fm. When a seller chooses "contact via the app only" without exposing a phone number, sellerPhone is omitted rather than filled with placeholder text.
• Category-dependent attributes: Land plots and commercial warehouses naturally omit residential fields like bedrooms, bathrooms and furnished, while residential apartments omit plot frontage fields like plotWidthMeters and plotLengthMeters.
• Event-based detail enrichment: When includeDetails: true is active, each property enriched from its detail page counts as one detail-listing event in addition to the dataset item. Set includeDetails: false if you only need card-level pricing, area, room counts and GPS coordinates.

---

💡 Pro tips for best results

• Keep maxPagesPerSearch: 0 when collecting 500 or 1,000+ listings so the scraper automatically pages as deep as needed to reach maxResults.
• Use includeDetails: false for ultra-fast price/GPS snapshots when you only need card-level pricing, area, rooms and coordinates without visiting individual property pages.
• Filter for compliant broker leads by combining regaLicensedOnly: true with includeDetails: true to collect verified sellerPhone, agencyName and regaLicenseNumber records.
• Target specific districts by filtering on sa.aqar.fm in your browser and pasting the resulting URL into startUrls.

---

❓ FAQ

How many listings can I extract in a single run? From a 40-item sample up to 10,000+ unique properties per run. Set maxResults to your target (or 0 for unlimited) and keep maxPagesPerSearch at 0.

Do I need proxies or an Aqar account? No login or account is required. Direct requests work out of the box; optional Apify Proxy support is built in if you ever need it for high-volume schedules.

Does it extract seller phone numbers and REGA license numbers? Yes. When includeDetails: true is enabled, the Actor extracts public sellerName, sellerPhone, agencyName, regaLicenseNumber, regaLicenseUrl and regaLicenseExpiry fields, stripping out non-dialable placeholder text.

Why are some fields empty on certain listings? Commercial land, warehouses and residential apartments have different attributes (for example, land plots have streetWidthMeters and plotLengthMeters instead of bedrooms). The Actor reports every field present on the listing and never fabricates missing values.
