Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## PropertyFinder UAE Listing Scraper Scrapes property listings from [PropertyFinder UAE](https://www.propertyfinder.ae). Returns buy and rent listings with price, area, RERA permit number, broker registration (BRN/ORN), agent contact info, community hierarchy, amenities, coordinates, and images — 30+ fields per record. PropertyFinder is the UAE's largest property portal with 245k+ for-sale listings and 140k+ rentals across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other emirates. ### PropertyFinder UAE Scraper Features - **Extracts 30+ fields** per listing including RERA permit, BRN/ORN, price per sqft, and developer info — the regulatory depth most scrapers skip - **Covers buy and rent** listings across all UAE emirates - **Returns full agent contact** — name, email, and phone in one record, no second-pass needed - **Pulls community hierarchy** — emirate, community, sub-community, and building name separately, so you can filter without regex - **Parses amenities as a list** — built-in wardrobes, balcony, parking, pool — structured, not a wall of text - **Includes coordinates** — latitude and longitude per listing for mapping and geo-analysis - **Pure HTML scraping** — reads Next.js SSR data from page source. No browser required. - **Residential proxy** — bypasses AWS WAF at listing pages automatically ### Who Uses PropertyFinder Data? - **Global HNW investors** — track Dubai luxury listings, monitor price-per-sqft trends by community - **Mortgage brokers** — build property price databases for affordability analysis and lead scoring - **RERA compliance teams** — verify permit numbers and broker registration across active listings - **PropTech platforms** — ingest UAE inventory for aggregators, valuation tools, or market analytics - **Rental yield analysts** — compare buy vs. rent prices by community to calculate gross yields ### How PropertyFinder UAE Scraper Works 1. Generates paginated listing URLs — `propertyfinder.ae/en/buy/properties-for-sale.html?page=N` — based on your `listingType` and `maxItems` settings. 2. Fetches each page through a residential proxy. PropertyFinder embeds full property data in `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON inside the server-rendered HTML, so there's no JavaScript execution required. 3. Extracts listings from the embedded JSON, transforms them to the output schema, and saves each record. 4. Stops when `maxItems` is reached. Set to 0 for unlimited (full dataset). ### PropertyFinder UAE Scraper Input ```json { "listingType": "buy", "maxItems": 500, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` For rent listings, change `listingType` to `"rent"`. | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `listingType` | string | `"buy"` | `buy` for for-sale listings, `rent` for rentals | | `maxItems` | integer | `10` | Maximum listings to scrape. `0` = unlimited | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential | Apify proxy config.

PropertyFinder UAE Scraper handles it all. Set `listingType` to `buy` or `rent`, configure `maxItems`, and run. Results arrive as structured JSON with all fields populated. #### How much does PropertyFinder UAE Scraper cost? The scraper charges $0.10 per run start plus $0.001 per listing. A 1,000-listing run costs around $1.10. Full UAE buy inventory (245k listings) runs approximately $245. #### Does PropertyFinder UAE Scraper need proxies? Yes. PropertyFinder serves an AWS WAF challenge to datacenter IPs. The scraper is configured to use Apify residential proxies by default, which bypass it cleanly. #### What data can I get from PropertyFinder UAE? PropertyFinder UAE Scraper returns RERA permit numbers, broker ORN, agent phone and email, price per sqft, community hierarchy, amenities, GPS coordinates, and listing images — along with the standard price, beds, baths, and type fields. #### Can I filter by emirate or listing type? Not directly in this version — the scraper pulls the full national listing feed. For emirate filtering, set `maxItems` to your target count and filter the `emirate` field downstream. The `listingType` input switches between buy and rent feeds. *** ### Need More Features? Need specific community filters, off-plan project data, or full detail-page scraping? [File an issue](https://console.apify.com/actors/issues) or get in touch. ### Why Use PropertyFinder UAE Scraper? - **RERA depth** — returns the permit and registration numbers your compliance workflow actually needs, not just the pretty listing photo - **Affordable** — $0.001 per record is flat-rate PPE pricing, which undercuts the PPR competition on any run over a few hundred records - **Clean, flat output** — no nested objects, no arrays of objects to unwrap. Arrays are pipe-joined strings. Load it into a spreadsheet or feed it straight to your database. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of listings to scrape (0 = unlimited).
