## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Property Finder Scraper — UAE & Gulf Properties, No Phones

Get property listings from Property Finder, the largest property portal in the UAE, and its sister sites in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Egypt: price or rent (yearly, monthly…), bedrooms, bathrooms, size in sq ft and m², property type, ready or off-plan, furnished, the full location path with coordinates, amenities, the listing date, the verified flag and the agency. For sale and to rent, residential and commercial. Paste your Property Finder search links — or just type a place.

**Why this one**

- 🔗 **Your search, as you set it up.** Set every filter you like on propertyfinder.ae (or .sa, .qa, .bh, .eg) and paste the link. Or type a place here — Dubai Marina, JVC, Al Reem Island, Riyadh, The Pearl — and set buy or rent, property type, bedrooms, price, size, ready or off-plan, furnishing, keywords and "added within" below.
- 🌍 **Five countries, one actor.** The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Egypt share one platform. A live run read Dubai Marina rentals, properties for sale on The Pearl in Doha, Riyadh rentals, 3-bedroom flats for sale in New Cairo and ready homes on Palm Jumeirah in one go: 9,104 properties in about 10 minutes.
- 📍 **Everything from the results pages.** Coordinates, amenities, the full description, completion status and the agency come with every listing — no listing page has to be opened. In two live runs (15,480 properties) every record had its coordinates, price, size, listing date and agency.
- 🔒 **No phone numbers, no agent names.** Listings are named by their agency or developer only — never the agent, their photo, phone, WhatsApp or e-mail. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses, social media handles and the names agents sign their texts with ("Contact: <name> <number>", "Listing Agent: <name>") are replaced with `[phone removed]` / `[e-mail removed]` / `[handle removed]` / `[name removed]`.
- 💸 **You pay only for properties delivered.** A link that is not a Property Finder search, or a place Property Finder does not know, comes back as a free record with the reason.

### What you get

For every property:

| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| `price`, `currency`, `rentPeriod`, `pricePerArea` | the asking price or rent (AED, SAR, QAR, BHD, EGP); for rentals `yearly`, `monthly`, `weekly` or `daily`; the price per sq ft or m² when Property Finder shows it |
| `transaction`, `category`, `propertyType`, `title` | sale or rent; residential or commercial; Apartment, Villa, Townhouse, Penthouse, Office Space, … |
| `bedrooms`, `bathrooms`, `size`, `sizeUnit`, `sizeSqm` | 0 bedrooms is a studio; the size as listed (sq ft in the UAE, m² elsewhere) and in m² |
| `completionStatus`, `saleType`, `furnished` | `ready` or `off-plan`; `first sale` or `resale`; furnished, unfurnished or partly furnished |
| `location`, `locationPath`, `region`, `area`, `locationId`, `locationType` | where it is: emirate or city, community, sub-community, building |

| `amenities` | Balcony, Shared Pool, Covered Parking, Central A/C, … |
| `listedAt`, `isVerified`, `listingLevel`, `isFeatured`, `isPremium`, `isExclusive`, `isDirectFromDeveloper`, `badges` | when it was listed, and Property Finder's flags ("great value", "high demand", "price drop") |
| `agency`, `agencyId` | the agency or developer — the company name only |
| `permitNumber` | the advertising permit number where the search results carry it (Abu Dhabi listings do; Dubai's are not in the search data) |
| `utilitiesIncluded` | whether the rent includes utilities, when the listing says |
| `description` | the full listing text, with contact details and people's names taken out |
| `image`, `imageCount`, `floorPlanCount`, `hasVideo`, `has360Tour` | media |
| `url`, `listingId`, `site` | the listing, and which Property Finder site it is on |
| `input`, `place`, `position`, `scrapedAt`, `status`, `error` | which search it came from, and why a search gave nothing |

### How to use it

1. Paste **Search links** from Property Finder, one per line — or type **Places**, pick the **Country** and choose the filters.
2. Set **Max listings per search**.
3. Press **Start**, and download the results from the **Output** tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

To follow new listings in an area, save your input as a task with **Added within (days)** set to 1 and schedule it daily.

You can also call it from the Apify API, from Make, Zapier or n8n, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

### Pricing

You are charged **per property delivered** — see the price on this page. Links that are not Property Finder searches and places Property Finder does not know are free.

### FAQ

**How many properties per search?** Property Finder serves 50 pages of up to 50 listings for one search — about 2,500 at most. On sale searches in the UAE and Egypt some places on each page are developer project ads, which are left out, so those stop near 2,000 or below. In live runs: Dubai Marina apartments to rent 2,494 of 5,922; properties for sale on The Pearl, Doha, 2,496 of 3,439; 3-bedroom flats for sale in New Cairo 1,999 of 16,927; ready homes for sale on Palm Jumeirah 1,728 of 2,160. For more, split the search — by price band, bedrooms or community.

**Why is my link read "newest first"?** Property Finder's default order, "Featured", is reshuffled between pages, so the same listing can come twice and others never. A Featured link is therefore read newest-first; a link sorted by price or date keeps its order. Each property comes once per search.

**Which places can I type?** Anything Property Finder's own search box knows: an emirate or city, a community, a sub-community or a building. Pick the **Country** for places outside the UAE. A place it does not know comes back as a free `NOT_FOUND` record.

**Why no phone numbers or agent names?** They are personal data. Every listing has its `url`; buyers and tenants contact the agency on Property Finder.

**Is this affiliated with Property Finder?** No. This is an independent tool that reads public Property Finder listings.
