Daft.ie Property Listings Extractor

Extract property listings from Daft.ie, Ireland's largest property marketplace, as clean structured data. Paste one or more Daft.ie search URLs and get back every listing with price, bedrooms, BER rating, agent details, images, and map coordinates, ready to open in a spreadsheet or pull from the API.

The actor reads homes for sale, rental properties, new homes, and any filtered search you build on Daft.ie. It follows the result pages automatically, so a single search URL can return hundreds of properties in one run.

Features

• Works with any Daft.ie search URL: for sale, for rent, new homes, sharing, and commercial
• Handles multiple search URLs in a single run
• Automatic pagination across every result page
• 35+ data points per listing, including geolocation and BER energy rating
• Full-size image URLs for each property
• Agent and branch contact details
• Clean numeric fields (priceValue, floorAreaValue) alongside the raw display text
• Per-page error handling, so one bad page never stops the whole run
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or read straight from the Apify API

Use cases

• Market research: track asking prices and rents in a town, county, or postcode over time
• Lead generation: collect agent and branch contact details from active listings
• Property portals: feed fresh listings into your own website or app
• Investment analysis: compare price per square metre, BER ratings, and floor area across areas
• Alerts: run on a schedule to catch new listings as they appear
• Data science: build a training or analytics dataset of the Irish property market

Frequently asked questions

Which Daft.ie pages does it support? Any search results page: property for sale, property for rent, new homes, sharing, and commercial. Paste the URL exactly as it appears in your browser, filters included.

Does it read individual property detail pages? It extracts the structured data available on search results pages, which already includes price, beds, baths, BER, agent, floor area, coordinates, and images for every listing.

How many listings can I collect? Up to 1000 per run via maxItems. Split large jobs across several runs or schedule them.

Can I filter by price or bedrooms? Yes. Apply the filters on Daft.ie first, then copy the filtered URL into startUrls. The filters are carried in the URL.
