Property Finder Scraper — UAE & MENA Listings

What is Property Finder Scraper — UAE & MENA Listings?

Property Finder Scraper extracts public Property Finder listings from search-result pages or individual property URLs into a dataset, one row per property. Each row returns the listing ID and URL, title, description, listing and property type, price with currency and price per square foot, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, location, community, coordinates, furnishing and completion status, amenities, image URLs, agent and broker contact details, and the verified flag. Real-estate analysts, brokers, proptech teams and AI agents use it for comparables, inventory tracking and price monitoring across the UAE and other MENA Property Finder markets.

Why property teams use this scraper

• URL-led precision. Set filters and sorting on Property Finder, paste the URL, and the dataset mirrors that exact search.
• Comparable-ready numbers. price, pricePerArea, size, bedrooms and bathrooms are numeric for instant comps.
• Location detail. location, community, city, latitude and longitude make every listing mappable.
• Listing quality signals. isVerified, completionStatus, furnished and listedAt help separate fresh, verified stock.
• Broker and agent context. brokerName, brokerEmail, brokerPhone, agentName, agentPhone and agentWhatsapp show who markets each property.
• Bounded runs. maxResults and maxPages cap rows, pages and billed listings.

Best fit and related Actors

Best fit for public Property Finder searches and property pages on the .ae, .sa, .qa, .eg and .bh domains: tracking a community's asking prices, building comps for a valuation model, or monitoring a saved search for new stock.

• When you want to research the agents behind your listings, continue with Property Finder Agent Scraper using the agent and broker names from this dataset.
• For a second UAE portal on the same communities, use Bayut Scraper alongside this Actor and compare asking prices.

Example workflow: from a saved search to a price-per-sqft report

A Dubai investment analyst starts on Property Finder, filters one-bedroom apartments for sale in Jumeirah Village Circle, and copies the search URL into startUrls with maxPages set to 5 and maxResults set to 100. The dataset returns each listing's price, pricePerArea, size, community, furnished and isVerified. They keep verified listings, compute the median price per square foot, and export the table into their valuation model. A weekly schedule with the same URL feeds new listings and shows how asking prices move.

How to scrape Property Finder

2. Set Maximum listings and Maximum pages per search URL.
3. Click Start, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

Agent name and phone numbers in this example are fictional placeholders. Each run also writes OUTPUT and RUN_SUMMARY records with the outcome (COMPLETE, PARTIAL, VALID_EMPTY or UPSTREAM_FAILED) and page counts.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event with Apify platform usage included in the event price. You pay one Property listing returned event for each validated listing saved to the dataset and one Actor Start event per run. maxResults caps the listing events.

Worked example in words: the default run with maxResults at twenty-five that saves twenty-five listings costs twenty-five Property listing returned events plus one Actor Start event. Check the live Pricing tab on this page for current event prices.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect the Actor to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify MCP and ask:

Pull the first 50 apartments for sale from this Property Finder search URL and give me the median price per square foot by community.

The agent passes the URL in startUrls with maxResults set to 50, reads rows back from the dataset, and groups by community. Each row keeps url, sourceUrl and scrapedAt for citation, and maxResults sets the cost scope before the run starts.

Best results

Starting situation	Helpful action	Expected outcome
A specific market segment	Filter on Property Finder first, then paste that URL	Rows that match your exact filters
A new URL	Start with maxPages at 1 and a small maxResults	A quick preview before a larger run
Deeper coverage	Raise maxPages toward 20	More pages from the same search
Comparables	Filter on isVerified and group by community	Cleaner comps
Monitoring stock	Schedule the same URL and compare id values	New and removed listings
Other MENA markets	Use the .sa, .qa, .eg or .bh domain URL	Listings from that country

Builder's note

I built this Actor around URLs because Property Finder's own filters are the most precise way to define a market, and a pasted URL keeps runs repeatable. I read the server-rendered listing data with plain HTTP, which keeps runs light and fields consistent. I designed maxResults to cap both rows and charges, so a monitoring schedule has a known ceiling every time.

FAQ

Which countries are covered?

Public Property Finder domains for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Bahrain.

Can I scrape a single property?

Yes. Paste the property page URL in startUrls; it is read once.

Do I need a Property Finder account?

No. The Actor reads public listing pages.

How do I track price changes?

Schedule the same URL and compare price by id between runs.
