Architecture

• HTTP-only via Bayut's public Algolia search backend. No proxy, no captcha, no browser.

• Pagination via Algolia page / hitsPerPage (50 per page).
• safePushData wrapper catches schema-validation rejects without crashing the run.
• Triple-guard PPE counter; soft-fail on bad input; honest-fail on Algolia outage.

FAQ

Q: Do I need a Bayut login or cookies? No. The actor uses public data only.

Q: How fresh is the data? Algolia is Bayut's live search index. Listings appear in seconds after being published on bayut.com.

Q: Can I scrape sold/archived listings? No. Only active listings are indexed.

Q: Why are some prices null? The listing has hidePrice: true — Bayut allows agents to hide the price and request inquiries. We preserve the flag in the output.

Q: What about Arabic content? Index defaults to English (-en). Arabic equivalent indexes (-ar) exist but aren't surfaced — open an issue if you need them.

Legal

This actor reads only public Bayut search results — the same data anyone can see on bayut.com without logging in. Respect Bayut's Terms of Use and applicable laws when using extracted contact data. Do not spam, resell, or use for purposes that violate UAE law or Bayut's TOS.
